* ScrappyMechanic: Moreso in VS than the main game, but BF's Slipsauce can get annoying as it never goes away after being dropped and makes you skid around. In all it's a minor example, as once all four racers are in Air Blades or better, you'll never see it again. The Bear Claw Mines used by the Air Blade can also be annoying as it actually damages you and they can pile up just the same as Slipsauce, but they do go away when triggered. You'll also see some of them laying around as hazards both before anyone has an Air Blade, and after everyone is using a Battle Trak or Havac (which both have drop weapons that detonate after a short period). VS shows how the Slipsauce can be truly annoying, as you can drop two with one charge, meaning that it's possible for two players to drop 14 of them each in a single lap, leading to a very big mess.

They originally did this because otherwise the palette swap animation would not be noticeable on the original Game Boy Advance which lacks a backlight, but on the SP and Micro (as well as on the original DS) where there is a backlight, this resulted in washed out in the problems mentioned.

* GameBreaker: In 2 player mode, both players have their own [[PasswordSave passwords]], but the programmers didn't consider the possibility that players could just use the same password for both players to essentially create another copy of either player: this by itself isn't that special, but since the players can't be on 2 different planets, the game priorizes the current location of player 1 when it comes to current league progress, which allows you to do things like using a password you get at the very beginning of the game for player 1 combined with a password that gives you a fully upgraded Havac for player 2 to essentially play the game from the beginning with the best vehicle in the game. You can then take player 2's now-updated password and copy it over to player 1, giving both players access to it and allowing them to effortlessly trounce the competition.
