HTFA1 Arc

 * Allay appears a couple of times in the series, and even appears in the arc's opening. However, she does not appear in the game.

HTFA3 Arc

 * Handy helps the Tree Friends by building bridges, although Hady wasn't seen in this game.

Lavare/Origins Arc

 * Instead of exploding after defeat like in the game, Lavare breaks free from Bowser's control after defeat, aiding Allay, Lemy, Neena, and Tacho in entering Bowser's castle.

HTFA5 Arc

 * Lavare watches the group in this arc afterward, which she doesn't do in the games.

HTFA6 Arc

 * Brandy is replaced with Windy due to Brandy no longer being associated with Happy Tree Friends and his creator not wanting people to use his old OCs.
 * Izzy is replaced with Fidget due to Izzy's creator no longer being in the Happy Tree Friends fandom.
 * Windy, while he is still frozen, does not get teleported by Bowser along with Allay, Lifty, and Shifty like he does in the games. They remain frozen in the anime for two episodes until they were broken free by being thrown toward Wind Koopa.
 * Brandy/Windy's spot as a boss in the game is taken by a new Koopa Master, Wind Koopa.
 * Fliqpy has no aligment with Bowser in the anime.
 * Mecha Neena and Mecha Tacho fight together during their appearance in the anime, while in the game they have their seperate boss rooms.
 * The characters in the anime seem to get their special powers out of the blue (ex. Cuddles attacking Wind Koopa with Carrot Drill). In the games, the player only ever gets the ability to use special powers after beating the first seven bosses.
 * Flaky also has Hyper Jump instead of Spin Dash.

Rainbow/Land Arc

 * Fidget appears in this arc, despite not appearing in the games.

Grand Volt/HTFA7/Greatest Battle Ever Arc

 * The Grand Volt, an electric-themed wyvern, appears in the anime, but never shows up in the games.
 * Lavare groups up with the Tree Friends to help free the Grand Volt from Bowser's control. She never does this in the game.
 * Fidget appears in this arc, even though again she never appeared in the game.
 * Unlike in the game, Currly does not get captured in this arc.

Running Gags within the series

 * Even though death is not as common in the anime as in the Happy Tree Friends series, characters will die (though no blood, or at the very least minimal blood, can be seen). However, they pop back up sometime later in the episode.
 * Characters have a suspicion of whenever or not two characters (mainly Cuddles/Giggles, Nutty/Neena, and Flaky/Tacho) are in love with each other, but both characters deny this. This happens with:
 * Cuddles and Giggles (first asked in EP01 by Toothy to Cuddles)
 * Nutty and Neena (first asked in LV05 by Cuddles to Nutty)
 * Tacho and Lana (first asked in LV09 by Allay)
 * Cuddles and Allay (first asked in 5A15 by Lemy to Cuddles)
 * Tacho and Flaky (first asked in LG02 by Flippy to Tacho)
