| RC Pro-Am (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: In the original, the race ends automatically if any car finishes. The player automatically advances if the red car is in second or third place when that happens. This is inverted if the red car is in fourth place, which results in the game ending. | |

1-up tokens can be picked up Pro-Am II, but they are not very common. Alternatively, extra lives can be purchased between races, but the price goes up for every one you buy. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| RC Pro-Am (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: In II the best motor in the game, the Mega Motor, lets the purchaser move as fast as humans can. CPU opponents however can easily move faster than that solely if they want to, making some lesser motor such as the Hyper or even the Black more practical and better spending money on cheaper Scooper Tires to take better turns and maneuver better than the opponents. | |

Endless Game: Possible in the original game. Averted, however, in Super R.C. Pro-Am, since spelling NINTENDO three times — and finishing a race third or batter — will result in seeing a "congratulations" screen. | |

Get too aggressive with the weapons in these games, and one of the computerized opponents will jam on the accelerator and reach up to 500 km/h, making it impossible to beat. These facets could make Pro-Am this trope's codifier. | |

Scratch Damage: Computer-controlled racers in Pro-Am can be shot and stopped. This is averted in Championship by making enemy vehicles completely invincible to attack after they pick up a roll cage. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| RC Pro-Am (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Even without weapons, the computerized racers will become extremely aggressive in later races. Get too aggressive with the weapons in these games, and one of the computerized opponents will jam on the accelerator and reach up to 500 km/h, making it impossible to beat. These facets could make Pro-Am this trope's codifier. In II, airplanes will randomly appear to drop bombs on the cars — focusing primarily on non-computerized players. However, this can actually be used advantageously, since the computer-controlled drones are not immune to the blasts. Got the Mega Motor and Scooper Tires? Watch the CPU still easily outrun you. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| RC Pro-Am (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: In every game in the series, the player has to finish 3rd or better (of four racers in every game but Championship, which has six) to move onto the next race. In the original R.C. Pro-Am, every race automatically ended after the first car finishes the race, automatically assigning the player whatever position he/she is in at the time. This was fixed in every other game: Championship: Each race ends when the player crosses the finish line, or when any three of the five computerized vehicles finish. Super Pro-Am and Pro-Am II requires the player to cross the finish line to complete each race, even if the other three racers have completed their runs. | |
