At the end of the game, the top two contestants advanced to the Pressure Cooker BonusRound (which was basically a first-to-three version of the Decision questions), while the last-place finisher had to give out food to the StudioAudience. No, seriously.

* The "third" season was the same repackaged reruns with [[UpToEleven even more obtrusive editing]]. The show was renamed ''Pressure 2'' to go along with an InNameOnly SpinOff called ''Series/Pressure1'', the category graphics were replaced by ones that matched the new logo, and every use of the word "Peer" when referring to the title on-air was awkwardly [[CensoredForComedy blanked out]], rendering the title of the show as "[{{beat}}] ''Pressure''". While all instances of the original logo graphic were covered up with the new one, no effort was made to blank out the prominent physical Peer Pressure logos on the set. Oddly, the 1998 copyright date was retained.

* PublicServiceAnnouncement: The show was heavily sponsored by "Right Decisions, Right Now", an anti-smoking campaign. ([[Main/StealthCigaretteCommercial On the surface, at least.]]) Not only did their ads air during the show, even running alongside the credits in many episodes, but it was a space on the board itself. Landing on it would present the contestant with a moral dilemma; making the "right decision" let the contestant move forward an extra two spaces, making the wrong one meant they stayed where they were.

* RearrangeTheSong: A slightly-remixed version was used as the theme for ''Outrageous!'', another Wheeler-Sussman game show that debuted a year after ''Peer Pressure''.
* RecycledSoundtrack: The theme would be reused for ''Pressure 1'' two years later. Especially noticeable since Pressures 1 & 2 were frequently paired with each other in syndication.
