* InvisibleAdvertising: Unlike the previous games in the series published by Creator/{{Activision}}, ''Rumble'' had little to no advertising, aside from some [=YouTube=] videos showcasing the stages, previews from gaming websites and posts from the official social media accounts on Twitter. This became subverted post-launch with the advent of free trial events and even a Mcdonald's Happy Meal promotion, oddly six months after the game released.
