Yeah, just seems odd -- Plate Peril is much more appropriate, don't you think? I'm not saying you should ask Jon to change it, since it's "officially" called Ferry Fiasco (even though there isn't a sponge that acts as a ferry across the wide river, that is "the kitchen sink". I also wonder why some tracks have different names in the SNES, GB/C versions etc.
For example, Whine On! is called Spills N Thrills on the SNES, and just Spill Thrills on the GB/C. Likewise, Driller Killer is called Toolbox Terror on the GB, GBC, and SNES versions.
