* BestLevelEver: The Quarry track from the Onslaught DLC. It's an incredibly twisty route set in a cool environment and, more importantly, ''stuffed to the gills'' with unique Power Plays. Seriously, you can't drive ten feet without being able to blow something up.
* FridgeLogic: Look at the cars closely whenever you get the opportunity. ''They don't have any actual drivers''. They must be remotely controlled, or the 'show' is a highly advanced virtual reality simulation.
* FriendlyFandoms: With ''{{VideoGame/Blur}}'' and ''VideoGame/ModNationRacers'' due to having similar premises and being released at the same month.

** "...is that a fucking plane!?"
** "...did they just collapse ''two'' '''''nuclear reactor cooling towers?!'''''"
** "...did they just blow up an entire ''dam''?!"
** "...was that a ''radar dish''?"
* SignatureScene: The crashing plane on the Airport Terminal track is basically the go-to example for how crazy Power Plays can get.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGBIjfCZk0 music]] that plays during Elite Races, when it reaches its highest point, is easily classifiable as this. ''Especially'' if you are blazing ahead and leaving the so-called Elites eating your dust.
** It's even better when the main riff kicks in and you manage to [[ThemeMusicPowerUp fight your way from the back of the pack to 1st place]].
** Also, the music that plays before and after the Elite Races - the former for sounding incredibly ominous, and the latter for sounding incredibly victorious and having a chorus back it. All this for a ''racing game'', folks.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The reception for the PSP port of the game. While it still retained the gameplay of its HD counterparts as well as adding one more track, the graphical limitations of the engine definitely hurt the gameplay.
* ThatOneLevel:
** Storm Drain. Only two laps and an absolute ''killer'' deathtrap sequence from passing through a long warehouse.
** Who here claimed a gold on the Ryback Thunder Challenge without breaking a controller or two? Hell, who here ''played'' the Ryback Thunder Challenge without breaking a controller or two? Yeah, thought so.
** Any [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Detonator]] can be this if you're not used to the car they give you. Since Detonators are won by ''milliseconds'', not being in tune with your car can turn an already challenging event into a nightmare.
