Cultural References

  • Hit & Run, inspired by the Grand Theft Auto series, shares some similarities with the game, including the radar, and a strong focus on its driving aspect.
  • The game includes a lot of characters, places and vehicles from the series.

Errors

Suburban level

  • There is a very big lack of road junctions.
  • In the game the trailer park is in Springfield's run down area but it is really over 100 miles away according to Homer, although this may be a foolish assumption on his part.
  • Another distance error: you can see the worlds largest toilet on top of a hill yet it is really on a flat plain many miles from Springfield.
  • The Stonecutters hidden tunnel is hardly hidden and is not next to the highway but links with the Power Plant instead.
  • Despite being in the 939 area of Springfield, in the game the Kwik-E-Mart is in the 636 area.
  • There is no sign of the farm house on the Tomacco field, also the power plant was right next to it when in the series Homer orders chemicals and the plant was miles away from the Tomacco fields.
  • 636 and 939 are switched.

Downtown level

  • Once again there is a lack of road junctions there are more than in the previous level but for a downtown area it still doesn't have many.
  • Oddly the Springfield Mall is no where to be seen in this level.
  • When you select Bart's clothes the stripes in the shirt are blue & white instead of red & blue.
  • The Matlock Expressway stays in Downtown, and does not appear to reach Evergreen Terrace at all.

Squidport level

  • The Android's Dungeon comic book store is on a corner but as shown many times in the show it is no where near a corner.
  • The only bridge out of town is no where near the Springfield Dam.
  • Kamp Krusty is far out of town.
  • The observatory and Springfield sign are close in the game yet the series shows they are on opposite sides of town to each other, also the Springfield sign is not anywhere near a bridge it is behind the power plant
  • The suicycle track was at Vegas not at Mr. Burns's casino.
  • Mr. Burns's casino was demolished in the series, but is intact in the game. (although, in theory, the game could take place before the casino was demolished)
  • The Bowl-A-Rama is not by a slope of any kind nor is Wall-E-Weasel's.
  • Yet another time there is a lack of road junctions.
