Added bulleted lists to many of the trivia examples, added mention of the Steel Gonad o' Death, and removed Sequel Gap as it was unfitting - Reincarnation is a Franchise Reboot.


* DawsonCasting: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Then 14-year-old Faye Morey was cast as Die Anna after being picked out from an audition in high school.
* DummiedOut: The "Timer Frozen!" and "Timer Thaw!" are explicitly labelled as powerups in the first game's manual, and they still exist in ''Carmageddon 2'', but they never spawn on maps and are only accessible via Cheat Mode. Given this, it is possible that they were dummied out just before the game went gold.
* FollowTheLeader: A Russian game, Armageddon Riders, tries this but with more emphasis on racing.
** And then we have VideoGame/ZombieDriver, which is Crazy Taxi [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies with zombies]]!
* SequelGap: ''Carmageddon: TDR 2000'' was released in 2000. ''Carmageddon: Reincarnation'' was released in 2015 (though whether it counts as a sequel or a remake of the first game is unclear).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original plan was for it to be a LicensedGame of ''Film/MadMax''. It was also planned to be ported to the UsefulNotes/{{Gizmondo}}, but cancelled due to Tiger Telematics' bankruptcy.

** The Steel Gonad o' Death is a hidden cheat in ''Carmageddon II'' that can only be accessed by using a third-party patch and cheat code editor. It is a test of the game's physics engine handling spheroid shapes, knocked up by the same developer who designed the game's damage mechanics, and what it does is [[BeTheBall turn the player's vehicle into an indestructible giant ball]] that controls and interacts with other objects very weirdly.

** Stainless explored turning the Steel Gonad o' Death into an actual powerup in ''Carmageddon II''. Unfortunately, the cheat was riddled with a plethora of {{Game Breaking Bug}}s, so it was instead left in as a super-secret cheat.
