* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: While the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] and [[UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem Master System]] [[VideoGame/TazManiaSega games by]] Creator/{{Sega}} are considered good, or at least passable, the UsefulNotes/GameGear version is an atrocious wreck. The graphics are hideous and the controls are sluggish and awkward, which only adds to the FakeDifficulty that's already present.[[note]]The first level involves outrunning a boulder and requires absolute perfection and ends with a LeapOfFaith, while the second requires you to know the exact route through a runaway mine cart level or else you'll hit a dead-end and die.[[/note]] The only boss in the game is a serious case of GuideDangIt[[note]]You have to jump up and hit hanging icicles with your spin attack, which for some reason causes fire to shoot out from the floor[[/note]], and the sound and music...well, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BISQ1A4VFxg just have a listen for yourself]].

* NightmareFuel: Happens when Molly adopts an adorable kitten. It may seem nice, but to Taz and the viewers, the cat becomes dangerously homicidal and evil. Even its eyes look very evil when he's in evil mode.

** Axl Gator is a sweet-natured simpleton who constant gets physically abused by Bull Gator whenever he says or does something clueless. This, combined with his cute character design and submissive attitude will most likely make you want to hug the poor guy.

* OldShame: Greg Duffell didn't like working on this series and felt this was a ruination of the Tasmanian devil character. He also had a dislike for Taz's family and the other side characters. https://www.facebook.com/groups/161346744015168/posts/1792962414186918/?comment_id=1792984124184747
