* NoOSHACompliance: The power plant has exposed electrical currents, [[HollywoodAcid uncontained corrosive acid spills]], and hazardous materials dangling precariously from claws all over the place. Jimmy finds the plutonium just lying around in a control room. Turning off the cooling fans is as simple as pushing a poorly-placed button.

Somewhat justified in that all of the technicians have been abducted by the Yolkians, so there's no one around to maintain the place.

* PainfullySlowProjectile: The projectiles from the Yolkians' energy cannons travel much slower than any energy weapon would. Despite this, it's not always very easy to dodge them.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Jimmy claims "red neutrons have a thousand times as much energy as the blue ones". In-game, however, a red neutron adds 25 points to the meter, while a blue neutron adds 5. So either it's this trope, or game!Jimmy sucks at math. [[WritersCannotDoMath Maybe both...]]

to:

* MeanwhileBackAtTheMeanwhileBackAtThe: Several cutscenes switch to the perspective of the Yolkians, usually to show the Commander's frustration with his subordinates for failing to abduct Jimmy.



* NoSidepathsNoExplorationNoFreedom: Mostly averted. The game's story is wholly linear, but there's a plethora of entirely optional side paths, exploration, and collectible items for extra points.
