• When Wilson, Brewster, Koko and Rosa arrive at the Drop and Load Yard for the Noche De Estrellas festival, their parade lights (as well as the lights of the others present) disappear.
• The riser platform moves diagonally while Rosa is on it, when in reality it only moves vertically.
• Mtambo's headlights clip through the top section of the cabin that he's in.
• The Roundhouse Park is missing all its trees.
