** In ''Vermin'', bonuses are awarded for each whole egg every 200 points. If even one egg is cracked, you get the heart instead.

** The twenty stars in Game B of both versions of ''Boxing'' and ''Donkey Kong 3'' in ''4'' were multiplayer-only and [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo required a second Game Boy Advance]]. Thankfully on that one you only have to load the game 5 times each in the 2P mode to get the 5 stars, and the second GBA did not require a cartridge.

** Getting a miss in most of the modern games results in a picture of a character's angry/sad face staring at you. While averted in ''4'', the limited palette of the first three games, especially ''2'' and ''3'', makes it even more off-setting.

* OneSceneWonder: Mr. Game & Watch himself only shows up in ''4'' during Gift Mode. By then, he was likely already recognizable from his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', released a year or so before.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The overly happy ''Mario's Cement Factory'' BGM from ''4'' can drive one crazy, especially since it takes much longer get 5 stars than in other games.

** To clear a miss in Fire Attack, Wario must collect the heart ''without'' hitting it.

** Judge's Second Playmode (Classic Only) in ''3'' requires you to play with another person. Guess what you can't do in the Virtual Console re-release? They even dummied out the option with no way to get those stars.

* ScrappyMechanic: The modern versions of ''Chef'' have two delays for Yoshi: one when he grows into an adult and another when he lays an egg. Unless he's directly underneath food, he won't rush out to eat it. It's all the difference between him catching the food in time and a miss.
