1%% [If the video links provided under the second bullet ever happen to be pulled from Youtube, replace them with the original entry, which is as follows:] Since nobody has actually uploaded the field BGM on Website/YouTube [[HopeSpot (yet)]], you can have a listen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY2cPNDDnvs&feature=related here]], where the first turn of the first mission is spent entirely collecting stuff - with an an exceptional enough timing to allow you to listen to the song in its entirety. %%

3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
4** As a ShoutOut to ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' no less, the theme song is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3nL8VFeuFc Sousa Liberty Bell March]]. The field BGM probably counts too, but for other reasons.
5** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zyvTghFZKI "On the field",]] as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia2WrikdCKs the victory fanfare.]] The related videos include each team's various at-the-start-of-the-turn anthems, which are also catchy.
6* JustHereForGodzilla: Many people are only interested in this game because all of the english voices were done by [[Creator/RikMayall]]
7* PortingDisaster: The PC version of the game is widely regarded as the inferior version as the AI is not only dumber but also ''never'' moves their units, making them much easier to beat.
8* ScrappyMechanic: instead of [[BagOfSharing what happens in]] ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'', the weapons aren't shared by the whole team, thus meaning that - yes, every weapon taken by that one soldier stays with him.
9* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The German dub of the game is arguably even better than the original. It makes more frequent and clever use of military lingo, as well as greatly enhancing the personality of the individual pig soldiers by using more individualised naming patterns and a larger voice cast. In particular, the German team is composed of characters which probably only make sense to Germans or people more familiar with German culture, containing, for instance, a Turkish immigrant character.
10** To highlight, in the German dub the American team is compiled by expys of John [=McClane=], Mr. Spock, Bart Simpson, Vito Corleone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
11** In fairness, the original voices were all supplied by [[Creator/RikMayall the same person.]]
12* ThatOneLevel: [[WakeUpCallBoss the game stops being kind to you]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8g_-9DFZq4&feature=related as soon as the sixth mission begins]].
13%%* {{Woolseyism}}: By the ''crapload''.
