Line 17:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The player character in LA.
** Along with every other character.
* [[Do Well, butBut Not Perfect]]: In the time trial races, the second and third rounds are based on your previous time so doing too well in the previous round can make the target time for the next round next to impossible.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: The South Central expansion for LA expands the map to include South Central and introduces lowriders and [[SU Vs]] as racing classes.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: The main premise of the game.
Line 40:
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If the player has a save file from ''Smuggler's Run'' on the [[PS 2]]'s memory card, the Baja Buggy becomes playable in the first game in the series.
* [[Optional Traffic Laws]]: Usually, but if you break the road laws with the cops nearby, they'll go into [[Hot Pursuit]]. Midnight Club 2 only had cops preset in races.
* [[Pimped -Out Car]]: A key feature of the games. 3 and LA even have prize cars that had been ''pre''-pimped by DUB Magazine.
* [[Product Placement]]: A odd example for the second game. The cars may be fake, but all of them except for your starter have a part or set of parts from actual companies (eg. Enkei wheels for the Supra lookalikes). Played straight in 3 and LA including cars, parts and billboards.
* [[Rice Burner]]: Present to some extent the first two games, but the series takes numerous levels in [[Buffy -Speak|Rice Burnerness]] with ''DUB Edition''. Body kits, near-opaque window tint, spinners and super-bright neon (the latter three even on ''exotics'') are standard on AI cars (and player cars depending on the person.) Toned down in ''Los Angeles'' in which the body kits and spoilers are actually designed with each individual car in mind and the AI mod their cars more tastefully. However, the player character can use bright neon and opaque window tint if they desire to.
* [[RPG Elements]]: The Abilities in 3 and LA level up with use. LA also includes XP (AKA "Rep") that unlocks cars and parts at higher levels.
* [[Ruritania]]: Karol has a vaguely Eastern-European sounding accent and his statements on his origin imply he comes from some post-communist country.
