* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: The Sega CD port doesn't say who voiced the characters, though some of them are familiar voices who worked on ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' (e.g.: Electro was voiced by Cam Clarke, who voiced Leonardo and Rocksteady, while the Kingpin and Mysterio were voiced by Peter Renaday, who voiced Master Splinter).

* UnwillingSuspension: Mary Jane is held this way, being suspended in mid-air above an acid-vat while being manacled with her wrists overhead. If Spidey loses to Kingpin (or either to Bullseye and Typhoid Mary), he gets subjected to this fate too. And the two will be dunked in acid to their deaths.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: No one but Spider-Man knows of the Kingpin's criminal activities, and he's easily able to turn the public and police against Spider-Man.

* AdaptationExpansion: Along with the expected CD audio and animated cutscenes, the Sega CD version also has extra levels, bosses and enemies, rearranged levels, and a more cartoony but better-animated art style compared to the Genesis version.

Added DiffLines:

* MiniGame: The Game Gear version has a well-hidden one that plays similarly to ''VideoGame/PacMan'', where Spidey is in a maze collecting webs while avoiding Venom. To play this game, first select Nightmare mode. At the end of the third stage, after you defeat Electro, take the key from between the conductors, and jump down while holding left so you'll land on top of the Game Gear icon. You will be sent back to Peter's room, and have the option to press the 2 button to play the Game Gear, which starts the mini-game.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Snapping photographs of any enemies other than bosses results in a paltry sum from the Daily Bugle for "stock photos". This includes the freakish, obviously non-human mutants that Spidey finds in the sewer system.
