* AlphabetSoupCans: Really blatant, even by ''VideoGame/{{JumpStart}}'' standards. Most of this game consists of glorified multiple-choice tests.

* GreenAesop: Taken in a very ''WesternAnimation/{{Captain Planet|and the Planeteers}}'' direction, although the villain at least has the excuse of being [[AIIsACrapshoot a computer who went insane]]. There are six {{Mini Game}}s in which you have to correct the damage being done to the Earth and five of them involve fixing environmental damage. The other one is about restoring ancient monuments. Oddly enough, the sixth-grade game in ''VideoGame/TheClueFinders'' series was also rather heavy on this trope. Were Knowledge Adventures and Creator/TheLearningCompany comparing notes or something?

* ContinueYourMissionDammit: If you go down into the reprogramming chamber at Earthquest HQ when you have no reason to do so (i.e. when you don't have any robot mooks to reprogram), Zack and Jess will talk non-stop about how they need a robot to reprogram before they can do anything and Uncle Eli will outright ask the player what they are doing down there and tell the player to return to the main screen to choose a mission from the map.

* NoNameGiven: Zack and Jess's last name is never mentioned. Is it the same as Uncle Eli's last name? Well, we don't know his either, so that's moot anyway.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Zack and Jess, presumably. At least Uncle Eli seems to be uncle to both of them. Technically, that could be possible with them being cousins, but it's a fair guess that they're meant to be siblings, possibly fraternal twins since they seem to be the same age.
