** WordOfGod is that Torgo being a constant hindrance to the player is based on Knuckles before his HeelFaceTurn in ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''.

* OneHitPointWonder: Stage 5 is a shoot-em-up sequence, and you have only one hit point, regardless of the health upgrades you obtain.

** In the Director's Cut, Torgo is PromotedToPlayable.

* InterfaceScrew: The Director's Cut adds a grainy filter during the first couple of stages to mimic the poor lighting in the movie. Every stage beyond that point is dark except for the area around Mike, putting the player through BlackoutBasement levels for the remainder of the game.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Many of the enemies include [[{{Film/Troll 2}} Trolls]], [[Film/TheScreamingSkull Screaming Skulls]], [[Film/{{RobotMonster}} Ro-Man]], and ''Film/TheGiantClaw''. A playthrough [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzHB423A0qo cites many of them]]. The Director's Cut adds an extra stage based entirely around ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace''.

* AdaptationExpansion: There's a biplane segment where you engage in aerial battle with Torgo and The Giant Claw.
