Broken Base: Do NOT express any opinions towards the second game. You will start a mob.
Contested Sequel: Hoo boy. If this game were more popular, it could be considered one of the biggest examples of this. Some say it was amazing and was better than the first in every way, but others say that it's a disgrace to the first game.
Scrappy Mechanic: The first game has the Game Breaker mentioned above, and in the second game, it's very easy to slide out of control. One wrong move and you're out of the race, with no hopes of coming back.
That One Boss: The Berg from the second game. Dear gosh, the Berg. He starts at the first red light, and lays icebergs on the track, and due to the controls, it's made much harder than it should be to dodge them. Reigel comes in a close second, as he uses a Humongous Mecha. Both can't use power-ups nor be affected by them, so almost every power-up except the drill become of any use.
Another notable mention is Basil the Bat Lord from the first game. Infamously difficult because, unlike most boss racers in the game, he doesn't prefer any one brick type, causing him to use all of the powerups equally and effectively.
That One Level: Knightmare-athon. It comes at the beginning, and is much harder than many levels before and after it.
Except in the mirrored version, where it comes last. If you were barely taking the lead, this track will be here to screw you over.
Pirate Skull Pass is possibly even worse.
The second game has Dino Island, which is only the second world in the game. It's highly repetitive, and the tracks in it go on for very long periods of time.
Viewer Gender Confusion: The game is not clear on Gypsy Moth's gender, and you have to know more on the Insectoids theme (she's the queen of the Zotaxians).
