* PlatformHell: Some of the levels, ''Meanie Genie'' on medium and tough difficulty being the best example.

* MyLittlePanzer: The playset itself, given just how dangerous and child-unfriendly it's levels tend to be. ''Meanie Genie'' on ''Rugrat Medium'' & ''Reptar Tough'' are the most egregious, as they both feature [[PlatformHell precision platform jumps]] over lava having to made by ''babies''.

* GoingThroughTheMotions: A bit more funnier than most examples, as when your baby's LifeMeter depletes to nothing, the screen gets letterboxed, a sad sound effect plays, Susie makes a condescending comment ("Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do better next time!") and your baby gets ''right back up'' and stands around as if nothing just happened before it fades to black.

* CriticalExistenceFailure: As soon as your Life Meter hits nothing, you're booted off the playset.

* LifeMeter: If it depletes, you're [[ CriticalExistenceFailure fucked.]]

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Both averted & played straight, depending on the length of the fall. If you fall from a high distance onto something below, the game will remove some of your HeatlhBar. If you fall from a great enough distance into the abyss, though, the game will just put you back where you left off without taking any damage.

* MeaninglessLives: Played with, depending on the difficulty mode you're on. If you're on ''Baby Easy'', it's played straight, as you'll probably never manage to lose any of the coins you need to get back onto the [=PlayPalace=] (the game's equivalent of losing a life). Averted or the most part on ''Rugrat Meduim'', due to the harder difficulty on that mode overall. ''Brutally'' averted on ''Reptar Tough''.

* BigBad: Angelica. (really, were you expecting anyone else?)

* NintendoHard: The ''Reptar Tough'' difficulty level is much more hard than one would expect from a children's game, in general, much less a ''Rugrats'' one. In fact, the only written FAQ for this game on the Internet has its author admitting that she had to have help from a more experienced gamer to even ''finish'' the FAQ!

Five of the babies are playable; Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Phil [=DeVille=], Lil [=DeVille=], and Kimi Finster. There's no noticeable gameplay difference between them. There are three difficulty levels: Baby Easy (just as simple as it sounds), Rugrat Medium (surprisingly rather difficult at many points), and Reptar Tough ([[NintendoHard insanely hard]]).

The plot is as follows: Stu Pickles, Tommy's dad, creates the PlayPalace 3000, which is a huge playground made out of many zones that expands out of a small metal cylinder. He needs to leave to get duct tape and paper clips, so he leaves Lou Pickles to watch the kids, and when he falls asleep, Angelica enters the PlayPalace 3000 and takes the babies' toys away. She challenges the Rugrats to come and get them back.
