9%% * ActionMom: Killer Chick
10%% * AffablyEvil: The Haddock in Epic.
11%% * TheAhnold: Barry Zooka

17%% * AmusementPark: The location of the sequel.
18%% * ArmorIsUseless: Several characters wear suits of armor, bullet-proof vests, and helmets, but it's ultimately justified in that they aren't exactly useful in a bicycle race.

20%% * {{Brainwashing}}: Several racers from the first game show up like this in the sequel to justify not being able to play as them from the beginning.

25%% * GiantFootOfStomping: One appears when you go the wrong way at the starting line.
26%% * InventingTheWheel: Grunt did this, apparently.

28%% * {{Retraux}}: The Pixel World level takes place in a hybrid Atari/8-bit prehistoric world.
29%% * SideView
