The Simpsons Road Rage/References

Cultural references

 * If the player picks up Captain McCallister and takes a long time to reach his intended destination, one of his possible comments is "Call me Ishmael. And late." This is a reference to the opening line of the novel Moby-Dick.

Trivia

 * Although he appears very frequently driving Mr. Burns' limosine, Smithers does not speak at any point in the game.
 * In printed ads for The Simpsons Road Rage, it depicted a drawn panel similar to a comic where the entire town is in calamity, with Marge, acting as a passenger to Homer in a convertible, tells him with fear that he's driving like a maniac, and Homer responding nonchalantly that "Driving's just a suggestion. Like pants."
 * Mr. Plow is treated as a separate character from Homer.
 * Due to the fact that the game is so similar to Sega's , Sega sued Fox. The two settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money.
 * The game takes advantage of the date system incorporated into the games console by providing holiday-themed characters on certain dates.
 * Marge - Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November)
 * Bart - Halloween (October 31)
 * Apu - Christmas (December 25)
 * Krusty - New Years (January 1)
 * In the save game menu in the PS2 browser, "Dancin' Homer" represents the save file for this game.
 * Early builds of the game suggest that Principal Skinner, Moleman and Jasper were going to be playable.
 * The scene at the end involving Kang and Kodos is not present in the PS2 version. This may have been because of the PS2 version's earlier release date.

Continuity

 * In the character select screen, if one selects Moe's Sedan, pandas will hop out of the trunk, a reference to "Cape Feare", where Moe was smuggling pandas.
