- The music is fitting, incorporating the show's theme song, jazzy numbers, and even classical songs common to the cartoon.

- Despite giving each level its own graphics, the bulk of it felt too similar.
- It's pretty easy to farm lives in the mini games, especially the race game, and, as such, the game is very easy to beat.
