Goofs

  • In the 2014 version of the game:
    • None of the engines' wheels and siderods move.
    • James and Emily's tenders are oversized.
    • Emily has Henry's whistle sound.
    • Because Diesel's boosting technique is the Power Shift, he shares Thomas, James, Percy and Emily'swhistle and Toby's bell sounds, despite him being a diesel engine.
  • In the 2018 version of the game:
    • James' model is too low down on his chassis.
    • Toby does not release steam unlike the other steam engines. He also has Lady and Flora's bell sound.
    • Rosie's rear bufferbeam is cherry red like her bodywork rather than bright red.
    • Like in Magical Tracks:
      • Belle has Emily's seventh/Peter Sam's ninth series/Freddie'swhistle sound at twosteps higher-pitched.
      • Ryan has Henry's whistle sound at a higher pitch, which he also used in Express Delivery.
      • Ashima shares Spencer's whistle sound.
      • Diesel 10 has Derek's/Salty's current horn sound.
      • Victor has Peter Sam's fourth series/Rheneas' sixth series whistle sound at some steps lower-pitched. He is also on the same gauge as the other engines.
    • Nia is missing her number on her right side.
    • The stand underneath Nia's whistle and safety valves is gold rather than orange.
    • Rebecca's model is based on an early version of her television series model; as such, she is too low to the ground and has an extra box beneath her face.
    • Mavis' name is misspelled "Marvis" in the code.
    • Diesel and Diesel 10 make puffing sounds and release steam, despite both of them being diesel engines. Flynn also makes puffing sounds, despite him being a diesel-powered fire engine.
    • The engines' wheels, motion and side rods do not move.
    • Sometimes after a race, Gordon, Spencer, Yong Bao and Rebecca's tenders can glitch out when going on up a curved track.
  • In the 2023 version of the game:
    • The engines' wheels do not move.
    • The other diesel and electric engines and Hiro share Diesel's horn sound, despite Hiro being a steam engine.
    • Bruno shares Thomas' whistle sound, releases steam from his roof, and makes chuffing noises, despite him being a brake car.
    • Gordon, Percy, and Nia still have their original whistle sounds.
    • Emily still has her Calling All Engines! whistle sound and Diesel still has his Misty Island Rescue horn sound.
    • In the first version of the game, there were two Cranky's in the Daring Docks stage. This was later fixed in the August update, with the other Cranky being replaced by Beresford.
    • When playing as Kenji, his picture on the mini map is actually Bruno's.
    • After the race ends while getting two golden cogs, Bruno, the diesel engines and electric engines wheesh steam, despite the fact they aren't steam-powered.
    • Hiro has less cogwheel slots than the other engines, making it impossible for him to become a superstar racer.
    • When unlocking everything on some versions of the devices, Gordon, James, Emily and Hiro are missing their tenders.
    • James is missing his tender on his racing card.
    • Kai Harris is not credited for providing the current narration in the credits.
    • Mark Moraghan is still credited as narrator. Ironically, he can still be heard in some parts, like when you tap on your card on the track selection screen.
    • Two of the advertising images show Thomas and Percy's models from the 2018 version of the game rather than their 2023 models.
    • One of the advertising images shows Thomas going down Roaring Falls while the picture on the race track shows CGI Thomas and Gordon's faces.
    • After unlocking everything, the CGI cards can still be seen at the bottom left corner of the screen.
