* AntiClimaxBoss: The second race against Wizpig is far easier than the first one. Not only is Wizpig generally slower, but since the race is on a plane, the player gains a lot more in freedom and maneuverability to tackle the course in a more manner, which just isn't possible in the first race (done in a car), where only one (non-glitchy) strategy works and the game requires you to perform it flawlessly in order to stand a chance.

* EventObscuringCamera: When racing Wizpig, due to the course's tendency to slant upwards, most of the boost pads will be obscured up until the point that it's already too late to turn into them. This happens elsewhere too, in Darkmoon Caverns in particular, but it's the most problematic with Wizpig, for reasons that should be obvious.

* ObviousBeta: A very rare (no pun intended) example of this ''not'' having any real negative effect on the game's enjoyability. The game was rushed to market so that Rare could have ''something'' out for Christmas 1997, and numerous signs of this are left in the game, including the fact that attaining OneHundredPercentCompletion requires two save slots (one for the normal adventure and one for [[NewGamePlus "Adventure 2"]]) and several not-quite-functional elements accessible via in-game cheats, including [[WhatCouldHaveBeen a 2-player Adventure mode]] and a rather-broken sound test (all music tracks are only listed as numbers, are in no real order, include some beta elements, and exclude some music heard in the final game, and the VariableMix tracks do not have their individual versions listenable - only a mash-up of all versions at once). The core game itself is complete, however - many of the ObviousBeta elements are side-features that aren't in any way necessary to enjoy the game itself.
