Moved Spiritual Successor here from main page; also removed "above" from Obvious Beta due to the transplant from the main page to here


* ObviousBeta: The initial ''Lilo & Stitch'' update for ''Disney Crossy Road'' introduced a myriad of bugs into the game, including in places that never had bugs before. Even after a patch fixed most of the bugs (such as fixing the memory orbs in the ''Inside Out'' world after they would randomly be visible or invisible to the player), a handful (including the GameBreakingBug mentioned above) still remained until the next character update.

Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be considered a successor to ''VideoGame/{{Frogger}}'' due to sharing the core gameplay of crossing roads and rivers until you die and ''VideoGame/FlappyBird'' due to both being incredibly addictive.

** The ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' world allows you to play as none other than WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, although he had yet to properly appear in the TV show at the time the ''[=DuckTales=]'' update dropped, and no other character that originated in his show are in the ''[=DuckTales=]'' world.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: In ''Disney Crossy Road'': If we are to assume that their removal wasn't a bug, then the "retired" characters being returned in the ''Cars'' update after being removed in the ''Dead Men Tell No Tales'' update is this, as this change was one that wasn't very popular with the playerbase.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


*** This trope gets taken UpToEleven in the Weekend Challenges, as you only get five lives (that recharge over time or with tickets) to try and knock out the many objectives in order to unlock prizes (which includes two unlockable characters, one of which is an "[[RevenueEnhancingDevices Enchanted]]" class character). All rules of the game still apply here, so there is now no margin for error if you want to complete the challenges completely without having to wait for the lives to recharge or use the extremely rare tickets. And the challenges become harder and the obstacles more plentiful the more progress you make. Combined with any existing obstacles an area might have, the Weekend Challenges can get [[NintendoHard maddeningly difficult]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** The ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' world allows you to play as none other than WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck, although he had yet to properly appear in the TV show at the time the ''[=DuckTales=]'' update dropped, and no other character that originated in his show are in the ''[=DuckTales=]'' world.
* UncannyValley: Occasionally, a Disney character may not make the transition to ''Crossy Road'''s 8-bit-esque BlackBeadEyes art-style very well:
** [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Mirage]], in particular, has stick-like limbs and a brick-shaped head, and her eyes look as though they are spaced just a little too far apart, making for a rather ugly-looking character. (Especially in comparison to [[MsFanservice her appearance]] in the movie itself.)
** [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Bing Bong]]'s face in the game is a little...weird. His lips and eyes were really accentuated, making him kind of look like a clown gone wrong.

Minor edits.


* BribingYourWayToVictory: Using real money to purchase characters is completely optional, and the game doesn't always badger you into buying one other than suggesting it sometimes at the end of a round. However, Daily Challenges and Weekend Challenges tend to specifically require characters not owned by the player yet...[[note]] It's especially noticeable in the Weekend Challenges as you can have all but one Prize Machine character unlocked, only for two challenges to eventually require that ''one'' character you don't have yet out of all the other characters you have unlocked.[[/note]] At least in ''Disney Crossy Road'', this has been averted as of the update that added ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'' as the game will no longer lock challenges behind characters not owned by the player.

** You can sometimes jump right through obstacles if you move toward an obstacle just as it is about to hit you. This really only applies to very skinny obstacles though. (Such as human "vehicles" in the Disney worlds that have them in ''Disney Crossy Road'', such as those of ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' and ''Disney/{{Mulan}}''.)

* PortingDisaster: Disney and Hipster Whale made the unfortunate decision to end development on the PC/Windows version of ''Disney Crossy Road'' on the buggy ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' update, dooming said version to a series of bugs and graphical glitches that have since been patched out in other versions of the game.

** Surfboards with surfers on them in the ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' world not only tip over if you try to stand on the end with the surfer on them, but they also do ''not'' count as "logs" in the world like the other surfer-less surfboards. (Since they're technically re-skins of the alligators in other worlds like ''The Lion King''.) They also appear far more frequently than any of the other non-logs in any of the other worlds, making it very easy to tip one by mistake and making "hop on X amount of logs" challenges more difficult due to how widespread they are.

*** In normal gameplay and as a Weekend Challenge, the ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' world can be quite frustrating. Like the ''Toy Story'' world, it has constantly bouncing barrels bouncing down the play field as you play. However, the ''Toy Story'' world is a fairly easy-to-maneuver area with only cars/trains/chattering teeth as obstacles that gives you an ample amount of elbow room to avoid its bouncing blocks. ''Tangled'', on the other hand, plays by normal ''Crossy Road'' rules with all of the usual obstacles (such as water) and less elbow room, along with its bouncing barrels. The barrels can and will spawn at a very bad moment and [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption end your run]], whether you are stuck on a log with no safe way to avoid it or time yourself out by waiting for some barrels to stop constantly going down the one-lane corridor you're trying to get through. When the ''Tangled'' world is part of a Weekend Challenge, the barrels and their aforementioned problems can make for some [[FakeDifficulty rather cheap-feeling losses]].
