** The stickers you can decorate the inside of the bus with includes a creepy alien face.

Wanted to add "Revving Up" here, because just the thought of the bus being crushed at a junk yard is rather terrifying.

Added DiffLines:

* "The Magic School Bus Revving Up"
** The entire plot of the episode involves the bus being sent to a junk yard to be destroyed after it clonks out. Although the class manages to get it working again and saves it from doom, just the thought of the bus being demolished has undoubtedly scarred ''anyone'' who grew up with this show.

** The Ant Antics Minigame has you playing as ants gathering food for the colony. And there's an antbird that will pop up to eat them, accompanied by a ScareChord.

** One of the in-game cartoons shows a tree talking with a fig who proceeds to grow extensions that wrap around him. Sure enough, she is a strangler fig who had just killed a tree, and she is about to do the same thing to the tree she is talking to. The fig's seductress-like voice and the creepy chord at the end of the clip don't help at all.

** While everyone is safe int he bus, the whole volcano erupting can be scary as well as cool. Especially seeing how close the lava gets to the class and Liz.

** Blink and you'll miss it, but when exploring Mercury, a creepy face appears on the Sun.
* ''Explores the Human Body'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T11X2m-Doqs This ominous sound]] that plays during each journey can feel quite jarring for players.
* ''Explores the Earth'':
** While everyone is safe int he bus, the whole volcano erupting can be scary as well as cool. Especially seeing how close the lava gets to the class and Liz.
** The earthquakes that happen in the fault area can be quite intense too.
* ''Explores the Age of Dinosaurs'':
** The two malfunctioning time machine moments can be quite difficult to watch
*** The first being stuck by a hungry T-Rex. One doesn't want to imagine what would have happened if Ms Frizzle hadn't done anything sooner.
*** The second one with them appearing at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Worse still, seeing the meteorite being seconds from impact before the class is safely sent out.
** The Morph-O-Saurus Minigame can be quite creepy with the ominous music and also some of the hybrids of Arnold or Wanda as Dinosaurs can be quite creepy.
* ''Explores the Bugs'':
** Possibly not the best game for arachnophobes or fear of other insects with how many appear.
** Seeing Arnold and DA as Tarantulas can be scary as it is fun to watch in the transformation minigame.

** The final phone call segment takes place during a thunderstorm at night, and the call isn’t answered by one of the usual producers, but by an unknown woman with an eerie, slow-talking voice, whom we don’t see - only the back of her chair is visible. At the end of the phone call, the chair swivels around to reveal that it’s empty, with the phone floating in midair, and the disembodied voice - presumably the ghost of the original Dr. Contralto - lets out a [[EvilLaugh creepy laugh.]]

** This episode will be quite unpleasant for anyone with apiphobia or a more general fear of insects.



** This episode is not fun for anyone who shares Carlos's arachnophobia. Or any insect phobia in general.
