* NintendoHard: All levels have to be completed in one life and there are no checkpoints whatsoever. This isn't too bad on earlier levels, but really starts grind as they get longer and ''longer.''

''Space Station Silicon Valley'' is a quirky 1998 UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 PlatformGame from DMA Design... better known these days as [[Creator/TakeTwoInteractive Rockstar North]]. Yes, the very same Rockstar Games that would come to be associated with mature franchises such as the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series.

* SkippableBoss: In a rather weird example, if you skip the opening cutscene for the final level, you'll end up going to [[spoiler:the animals' attack on the city]] without meeting the FinalBoss. If you wish to face the boss, you'll have to watch the entire cutscene.

Misplaced, moving to the correct tab


* ObviousBeta: A lot of the animals are unbalanced, there are plenty of glitches including one that prevents you from getting 100%, and there is only one major cutscene which is the intro. [[spoiler: The game tries to justify this by Dan selling the ending to get a new ship]].

** This game is also the only known documented case where having the Expansion Pak installed in your system is problematic, as it causes random crashes due to a memory addressing error [[note]]Essentially, the game will sometimes take advantage of overflow to warp back around to the start of memory. Since the Expansion Pak adds additional memory, the address pointer will now end up in a part of memory that has not been initialized, causing it to return nothing and crash[[/note]].

Not helping matters is that the N64 Expansion Pack is actually quite a pain to remove from the system once it's installed, since there's usually not any real reason for doing so outside of this game.

* UnwinnableByMistake: The game has an infamous bug that makes it impossible to 100% complete. Specifically, there is a trophy in one of the Europe zones that Evo will simply walk right through and not be able to collect. In fact, [[WordOfGod the very developer who was responsible for this glitch]] actually explained it in the comment section of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbjXlHkv_3c this Youtube review for the game.]] Fortunately, a fan-made patch exists that fixes this glitch (as well as another infamous one that makes some copies unplayable when the Expansion Pack is inserted into the N64) and makes 100% completion possible.
