* HardLevelsEasyBosses: ''Bad 'N Rad'' has ''punishing'' levels that have many instant-death scenarios and rely on rote memorization to make it through, with the added complication of your skateboard's momentum affecting platforming. The bosses are much easier since, with one exception, there's no danger of instantly dying.

* TooFastToStop: Since you're on a skateboard, turning around or even stopping is dependent on forward momentum or lack of it, and it takes about 2 seconds to go from full speed to a stop. ''Bad 'N Rad'' exploits this with disappearing platforms, suddenly-appearing enemies, and pits at the end of ramps to the point where a normal playthrough is closer to a rhythm game than a standard platformer.
