By modding the game, it is possible to completely disable the blue screen of death glitch. The outcome varies depending on the level, and in most cases the game either crashes or becomes softlocked, but some unusual results can still come out of disabling it. In the final zone of Chicken Con Carnage, restarting the level with the dialogue popup on screen will result in Nimbus sliding away from the camera while idling.

An E3 2009 developer walkthrough revealed that the game had a removed mechanic called advance chain collecting, which completely removes the smoke, sparks, and sizzling sounds emitted from objects containing Fire Flyers. As a result, this changes the game's difficulty. It is possible to enable this mode in the Wii version of the game via modding.

The game has a game-breaking glitch that triggers a blue screen of death. This glitch occurs whenever a Fatal Lua Runtime error occurs and can be caused in specific scenarios, with two known examples being when two different dialogue pop-ups try to appear at once, and if you grab 100 Fire Flyers at once during the final zone of Chicken Con Carnage.

Additional notes:
The attached image contains two events that lead to the blue screen in the third zone of Chicken Con Carnage. For further clarification, the game runs a check to determine if either criteria has been met. If players collect 40 Fire Flyers, then turn around and collect the last 60, the blue screen will occur.
