* GiantMook: Beetles (those gigantic red robots on wheels) are part of Zurg's army, just like in the show. They usually appear in pairs (compared to Hornets and smaller robots who shows up in larger numbers) and can take plenty of punishment before they blow up.

* TimedMission: The entire game is made up of these: you have to make it to the getaway spot before the boss does, and if they make it there first, you have to rush there before the timer runs out or else they'll get away. There are also timed variants of these missions with an obvious timer throughout the entire level (rather than the end).
