* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The game takes [[Literature/TheHobbit the novel]]'s most infamous BLAM and somehow makes it [[UpToEleven even weirder]], as the troll's talking purse has ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie''-[[AnimateInanimateObject esque]] [[SphereEyes eyes]] and a visible mouth. Much like the book, no one mentions it again; unlike the book, there's not even a SpaceWhaleAesop from the narrator.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Beorn's house and Rivendell are not shown or illustrated in the cutscenes (though there is a brief appearance of Beorn's house on the map shown on the main menu). In fact Beorn is never shown in his human form. However, this could be justified in the case that they were not included due to being cut for time. They only appear in the game boy advance version.

* TearJerker: The game is mostly a brightly-colored, action-adventure version of [[Creator/JRRTolkien Tolkien's]] [[Literature/TheHobbit book]]. Then you get to Mirkwood, and meet Corwin, a soldier from Laketown, whose entire party was just killed by spiders, including his brother. The music alone will tear your heart out.
