Minigames

Trivia

  • Mark Moraghan served as the narrator for the original game until 2022. Meesha Contreras is now the narrator for the US dub while Aaron Barashi serves as the UK narrator.
    • Mark Moraghan narrated the original game from a third person point of view, while the current narrators do it in first person (in this case, as Thomas).
  • This is the first time in the original series in which Raul is mentioned by Mark Moraghan.
  • Several songs are remixed for this app, including a remix of the original version of Really Useful Engine during daytime gameplay, a ditty of Sir Topham Hatt when freeing the engines from Tidmouth Sheds, or going into stations to pick up and drop off passengers, Another Busy Day on the Trains when at Brendam Docks, Sodor Steamworks, Farmer McColl's Farm, the Pig Farm and Henry's Tunnel, Fun in the Rain when on Crazy Coaster Mountain (Cannonball Curve), the Lava Quarry Race, the Boulder Cliffs Escape (before the All Engines Go revamp, the minigame does not have it), Waterslide Mountain, the Big Bridge, and Sounds during daytime gameplay as well.
  • Edward is the only member of the original Steam Team not included in the original version of the app.
  • The "Waterslide Mountain" minigame was originally called "Splash Mountain". It was likely changed because the 'Splash Mountain' name is trademarked by Disney.
  • Emily has her Calling All Engines! whistle sound. This was fixed in the updated version.
  • Mavis has her Calling All Engines! horn sound.
  • When it was available on Google Play, the game was named Magic Tracks.
  • Before it was updated in 2022, this was the only existing game that had Rosie in her lavender livery.
  • Textures for Clarabel exist in Annie's texture sheet, even though Clarabel does not appear in the game.
  • The main theme for this game is originally from Thomas Saves the Day.

Goofs

  • None of the tender engines have their tenders in the minigames, possibly due to their length.
  • Some of the engines' side rods are not rendered correctly, appearing mostly with simpler designs.
  • The tender engines' tenders are taller than they are.
  • When you select the engines in the original series version, Toby's number is flipped.
  • Diesel, Mavis and Diesel 10 make puffing sounds, despite them being diesel engines.
  • Percy's rods on the cylinders are missing.
  • Both Gordon's buffers and the bufferbeam on the backside of his tender are blue instead of black and red respectively in the original series version.
  • Henry has the same tender design as Gordon. Because of this, its wheels are blue instead of green and the tender bufferbeam is green instead of red.
  • The tops of Ryan's tanks are red.
  • Cranky and the Troublesome Trucks' eyebrows are missing in the original series version.
  • Spencer's tender is positioned backwards and its wheels are silver instead of black.
  • Gordon has a moustache in the original series version.
  • Gordon's running board is red in the All Engines Go version.
  • Thomas is missing a red lining at the back in the original version.
  • Mavis' bufferbeam is grey or black when it should be red and her vents and handrails are missing.
  • The back of Emily's tender bufferbeam is emerald green instead of red.
  • Kenji's wheels are missing.
  • The front of Ashima next to her smokebox and cowcatcher are missing the patterns.
  • The handrails on Spencer, Belle and Ashima's cabs are missing.
  • Ashima and Victor are missing their tail-lamps at the back.
  • Rosie and Raul are missing their headlamps at the front and their tail-lamps at the back.
  • Emily is missing her lamp at the front.
  • Henry, Gordon, James, Spencer and Mavis are missing their lamps at the front and they are missing their tail-lamps back.
  • Victor is portrayed as a standard gauge engine, despite him being a narrow gauge engine.
  • Ashima shares Spencer's whistle sound. She is also incorrectly depicted as a 0-10-0 instead of a 0-8-2.
  • Diesel 10 has Derek's/Salty's current horn sound.
  • Riff, Jiff, Farona and Frederico have whistle sounds, despite them being electric engines.
  • Belle has Emily's seventh/Peter Sam's ninth - twelfth series/Freddie's whistle sound at two steps higher-pitched.
  • Victor has Peter Sam's fourth/Rheneas' sixth - twelfth series whistle sound at four steps lower-pitched.
  • Raul has Spencer's whistle sound at some steps lower-pitched.
  • Raul's wheels are grey instead of black and his buffers are black instead of silver.
  • At Brendam Docks, Cranky had a black face in one update. This bug was later fixed in the next update. He was also light green, but was eventually changed back to dark green.
  • In the original Get All the Toys! Box, Thomas and Spencer are not seen and for All Engines Go, Thomas is not seen.
  • Ryan's lamp is flipped in the original Get All the Toys! Box.
  • Much like in Express Delivery:
    • Gordon is missing his cylinders.
    • Ryan has Henry's whistle sound at a high pitch and he has a black running board and bufferbeam.
    • Toby has Lady and Flora's bell sound.
  • Certain minigames when played by specific engines break the game in some way or another, such as Henry at Crazy Coaster Mountain or Emily at Tidmouth Sheds. This was possibly due to certain actions not being coded in properly or at all.
  • None of the engines' wheels are moving in the All Engines Go version.
  • After playing the Haunted Castle game, the Troublesome Trucks make chuffing sounds, despite them being rolling stock.
  • When any engine goes into the Haunted Castle, a light is seen cast out above the camera. Since this minigame is in a first-person camera angle, this would have to be an engine's headlamp above their smokebox. However, not all engines have headlamps in this position.
  • In the post-2022 updates, Thomas incorrectly pronounces Tidmouth as "TID-mowf". The correct pronunciation is "TID-muf" or "TID-mif".
