* ObviousBeta: The Game Boy Advance version, due to how severely rushed it was, is riddled with bugs and glitches. In addition to the examples listed under GameBreakingBug, there are glitches that causes items to duplicate upon saving and re-loading a game after dropping them, and even the music takes almost a minute to start playing or change tracks when entering another area.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Getting caught by one of the Black Riders in the Shire will trigger a cutscene in which the Ringwraith will draw its sword, point it directly at the camera, and growl "Surrender the Ring!". The same cutscene also plays if Frodo wears the One Ring for too long and succumbs to corruption.

* LostWoods: The Old Forest level, at least in the first section. The trees constantly move around, making navigating the level very tricky. They behave much more like the TropeNamer in the GBA version, where not following the right pattern will cause you to end up back in the Bonfire Glade.

* BleakLevel: Barrow Downs is a desolate, foggy place without any life and creepy ghost enemies coming out of big barrows.

Added DiffLines:

* TeasedWithAwesome: You will play as Gandalf for one single mission in Moria. His gameplay and his strength easily outclass Frodo and Strider, as he has a powerful sword and five magic spells at his disposal, including a healing spell. He even gets an additional mana bar, unlike anyone else.

* NonStandardGameOver: Get spotted by a Black Rider in The Shire, and the game switches to a cutscene where the Black Rider looks directly at you, draws his sword and commands you to "Surrender the Ring".

Added DiffLines:

* AbilityDepletionPenalty: Using the One ring makes Frodo invisible, but at a hefty price: once the purple Ring Meter is depleted, he loses HP fast, and is eventually captured by the Ring Wraiths.


Added DiffLines:

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Until the Hobbits reach Bree (about one half of the game), you've only ever played as Frodo. Then, the player character switches to Strider.
* Antepiece: Frodo learns key gameplay elements in a safe area, which is The Shire at daytime. For instance, he needs to throw stones at one compass rose on the ceiling of a house. This serves as a tutorial for when you have to use the stones to distract the Black Riders.


Added DiffLines:

* ChangingGameplayPriorities: For the first half of the game, you will perform quests and move stealthily, with only the occasional fight being thrown in the mix. Starting from Weather Top, the game essentially transforms into a Hack-and-Slash game.

Added DiffLines:

* CombatTentacles: The boss battle against the Watcher in the Water has you targetting its five tentacles with your arrows: once you take them all down, the beast will be briefly stunned, allowing Gandalf to remember the correct password for the mine.


Added DiffLines:

* PuzzleBoss: The Balrog: rather than facing it head-on (which results in a stream of deadly flames which will one-shot Gandalf), you have to stun it with the shockwave spell and then slash at him with Glamdring while he's stunned from the attack.
* SeaMonster: The game's version of the Watcher in the Water has thin tentacles tipped with oversized pincer-like claws and its main body resembles a moray eel's one.


Added DiffLines:

* UndergroundMonkey: Cave Trolls behave exactly like normal Trolls, but have a different skin with rock-like spikes on their bodies and wield hammers in lieu of crude maces.
