* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: While the game is widely praised for its faithful homaging of classic Road Runner cartoons, its steep difficulty and clunky controls when platforming turn most players against it once the charm of the premise wears off. For a game that tried to let players feel like they were playing a real Road Runner cartoon, [[EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame the game is more fun to watch than to play]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: Marvin the Martian is introduced at the end of Stage 4 without any foreshadowing, as the Road Runner walks out of frame and suddenly enters a teleporter to travel to Mars for the final stage.

Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: Once you've gotten acquainted with the game after the first world, it stops pulling punches. Levels become very large and difficult to navigate, enemies and traps get tricky to avoid, platforming gets a lot harder, and the game becomes increasingly stingy with power-ups and checkpoint flags.

* CatharsisFactor: The main reason to power through the NintendoHard levels is to see just how Wile. E. gets his comeuppance at the end of each stage. There are no repeats either, the LaserGuidedKarma is different every time.

* ItsHardSoItSucks: The biggest criticism of the game is that it's just too darn difficult due to some problematic controls and confusing level designs. And there's no password system and no save system, and continues are limited, so once you run out it's back to the start screen. The game has a cheat code to let you start with 99 lives, and even with that code, completing the game is considered a challenge.
