* ContinuitySnarl: A very notable one in ''Super Return of the Jedi''. Luke is able to defeat Darth Vader rather easily, and he goes as far as to fight the Emperor by himself (and doesn't suffer the Force Lightning torture like in the film). As Palpatine is defeated, he simply falls down the shaft. And yet, the following scene still plays out like Vader actually did throw the Emperor down the shaft, complete with him taking off the mask and saying his last words to Luke.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: The Force power ups in The Empire Strikes Back game.

Averted in the ''Return of the Jedi'' game where Luke starts with a set of Force powers and doesn't need to find more.
