** Green Goblin trying to make Spider-Man [[WeCanRuleTogether join him]], which in the movie was the former's way of a heart-to-heart in a less action-packed scene, is integrated into the Unity Day Festival levels mid-fight.
** Spider-Man and Green Goblin never fight inside of a burning building, and their final battle stays entirely on the bridge rather than moving into an abandoned building.

Added DiffLines:
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In both the comic and the 2002 film, the Green Goblin does himself in by accidentally ramming the Goblin Glider into his torso and impaling himself. The game follows this, but the glider just rams into Gobby with no stab marks and gets knocked out before dying. He also dies on the road of the bridge rather than in a building.

* {{Overheating}}: When playing as The Green Goblin, the weapons on his glider will overheat and become useless for several seconds if used too often. This prevents you from simply using the glider to gun down all mooks in your path.
