Mischief Makers/YMMV


 * Big Lipped Alligator Level:
 * In one early example, Teran sprouts into the giant, destructive "Blockman". In this form, he can smash obstacles and enemies with ease. It's only mentioned again as a reason to leave at the end of the game.
 * Other levels begin with Marina riding a missile, an ostrich, and a giant bee, with no explanation given.
 * Yet another level has you retrieving the King's tricycle for him while avoiding an advancing geyser. The tricycle is never brought up again outside that level.
 * Cult Classic: It didn't do spectacular when it was originally released, but those who did play it generally speak fondly of it. See what happened to the Nerd below.
 * Evil Is Cool: The Beastector, especially Lunar.
 * Foe Yay: Teran's battle against Calina.
 * He Panned It, Now He Sucks: Preemptively happened with The Angry Video Game Nerd. Once he was briefly shown with a Mischief Makers cartridge in his hands and was subsequently bombarded with mail saying that he shouldn't even think of doing a review.
 * Sacred Cow: In retrospect, this might show that the game is a bit of this.
 * Idiot Plot: Pretty much the only reason the plot moves forward past the 2nd world is because both Theo and Marina act like complete morons. But then again...
 * Most Annoying Sound: The "shell screaming" whistle that plays every time you fall, especially in sections where you're forced to jump down constantly. Funny the first few times you hear it, but imagine hearing it every thirty seconds when you get to That One Level.
 * Narm: "HOWW could I LOOOse to YOU~?" That has to be the worst death cry ever.
 * That One Boss: It's more like Those Two Bosses. Both Lunar and Merco are fast and aggressive in their mechs, but the real challenge is defeating each without taking damage. These are often described as the hardest Gold Gems to collect in the game. Thankfully, Lunar's battle has a Good Bad Bug that locks him out of advancing beyond his second phase and Merco's gets progressively easier.
 * That One Sidequest:
 * Acquiring all the Gold Gems, especially the one from the Beastector mechs.
 * Clearing the 100m world record, which is required for one of the Gold Gems.
 * Getting an S-ranking in every level, which entails clearing the levels in a ludicrously low amount of time.
