* FridgeHorror: The game heavily implies the bad path was taken by Mickey for several events in the first game, including Moody having amnesia from an unmentioned incident and the telephone referencing Prescott taking it apart.

** This does not extend to not reassembling the Animatronic versions of Mickey's friends, as they appear both whole and active during the game.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Out of nowhere between February and March 2021, updates were released for the PC version on Steam that fixed an issue about the game crashing upon launch if played on a system with more than 4 cores, which has been known for almost 7 years by that point.

* {{Sequelitis}}: While the original was divisive, it's still commonly remembered as a pretty good game. The same can't be said about this title, as it has an overall mixed reception even among the fan base, and regarded as a disappointment. Common complaints include a paper thin and predictable story, short length, AI issues and occasional glitches.

Yeah, the game is pretty much near-universally considered to be inferior to the first. Also, the wall of user scores isn't necessary.


* BrokenBase: Fans either hate the game for the issues listed in Contested Sequel below, find it an okay game on its own, but a disappointing sequel, a generally small faction that finds it a good game, even if it isn't as good as the first, and a smaller faction that finds it better than the original.
* ContestedSequel: While the original was divisive, it's still commonly remembered as a pretty good game. The same can't be said about this title, as it has an overall mixed reception even among the fan base, and regarded as a disappointment. Common complaints include a paper thin and predictable story, short length, AI issues and occasional glitches. How mixed is it? User scores for the game range as high as 4 1/2 stars on the Playstation Network, Metacritic User scores ranging from the late 6's to early 4's, Steam user reviews having a 62% positive rate, [=GameSpot=]'s user average being a 5.7 and one Giant Bomb user score giving it a mere 1-star.

* ThatOneSidequest: “Horace’s Assistant Assistance” can be this due to partially being a case of GuideDangIt. The first part has you getting rid of Horace Horsecollar’s current assistant, Tedworth, by finding the pieces of his Teddy Bear in Blot Alley. Easy enough. Once you do, however, you have to get him a new assistant, and your choices are either Clarabelle Cow or a pirate in Ventureland named Barnacle Jones. Taking the Good Path and choosing to make Clarabelle his assistant is where problems start. Clarabelle requires you to do a sidequest involving giving a flower costume to her pet Spatter, at which point she’ll give you a note to give to Horace, which you have to do to get her to work for Horace. But the player is likely to get stuck here because Horace will refuse Clarabelle when Oswald suggests her, causing Gus to make you hold onto the note until you convince him to hire Clarabelle. Even if you did Clarabelle’s sidequest, the game gives you no indication that you have to speak with Barnacle Jones, get his compass back from another pirate, Scurvy Pat, then give said compass to Horace to give the note to him, which you need to do to get him to hire Clarabelle. Needless to say, there are a ton of players that got stuck here for quite a while before figuring it out, if they didn’t switch paths beforehand.

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: Entering the Floatyard via a specific projector in Prescott's Arena traps the player in an endless cycling of dying from being squished. The projector on the Floatyard's side (at the top of the building, not the side) is initially blocked by a door when the area is first loaded up before opening up. The door is very close to the projector, so when Mickey and Oswald come from the projector they will instantly be squished and killed. They will then keep re-spawning right in front of the projector each time the area is loaded up, perpetually killing them due to the door's position. This will unfortunately force players to start up a new save file if they wish to continue playing.
