YMMV / Where in the U.S.A. Is Carmen Sandiego?

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: One animation of Carmen's cat Carmine shows her attempting to eat a goldfish out of the bowl. The goldfish randomly grows to twice the cat's height and weight, swallowing her whole. It then flops off-screen. After a Beat, you can interact with the characters and it's never mentioned again.
  • Funny Moments: There's always an animation that plays when you're on the right track. Robocrook, in particular, is pretty funny. One time, he gets distracted by a female bot that goes by, causing the crate that he was carrying to pin his own arms to the ground as he follows after her, then the crate is slingshotted to the back of his head offscreen. You also have the janitor being abducted by aliens, Carmine getting blown up with a stick of dynamite in a tennis ball, and many others.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Obviously, this is much less of a problem for U.S.A. than for World as U.S. geography has been stable for a long time now. The twin towers do show up when you visit New York, if that counts.
