* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Oh No! More Lemmings''. The "Tame" difficulty would more aptly have been called "Lame", since those levels are just a simple stroll from start to exit and you can't kill any lemmings unless you go out of your way to do so, but the "Crazy" levels which follow are roughly equivalent to "Taxing" in the original.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: All of the Tame levels for some. They are extremely easy to solve and there are no traps or hazards to kill the Lemmings (unless you go out of your way to kill them). In a sense it's easier than the original's Fun rating (and less fun too).

Difficulty Spike became a YMMV trope
Added DiffLines:
* DifficultySpike:
** The Fun levels and the first half of Tricky have a relatively gentle curve where you normally have 20 of every skill and just have to endure more and more complicated layouts, something a novice can generally get through without too many problems. Once you hit Tricky 15 though, the difficulty climbs very quickly, as you are introduced to levels that require precision bombing (without the aid of Blockers) and lateral thinking.
** The first 20 levels of ''Oh No! More Lemmings'' are painfully easy and can be solved with minimal effort. Once you get out of the Tame difficulty setting, however, the game instantly becomes NintendoHard and doesn't let up until you've finished.
** In ''Lemmings 2: The Tribes'', generally, the ten levels of each tribe gradually increase in difficulty. However, for some reason, the game designers saw fit to make the painfully hard "Snow More Lems" the ''third'' level of the Polar Tribe.

* FridgeBrilliance: The mobile game's ExcusePlot mainly involved terraforming various planets for Lemming habitation, something which the Lemmings were apparently very good at considering how dramatic the changes could be. Who would've seen the vulnerable little wimps as skilled terraformers? Someone who has realized that a large part of the gameplay involves building stairs, digging tunnels, and otherwise transforming impassable environments into much more passable ones. The Lemmings were skilled terraformers all along!
