Line 15:
** The Wii game replaces Root Beer with Cinnamon for the rocket, but gives us in return: The Berry Balloon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, Pear Parachute, Cream Cannon, Strawberry Shield (replacing Strawberry = Bridge in the original), and Cotton Candy Copy.
* [[Adipose Rex]]: The Emperor of Bloblonia.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: The inevitibleinevitable trip to Blobolonia. {{spoiler|And back again in the Wii version.}}
* [[Blob Monster]]: But the Blob isn't so much a monster in this game.
** Some of the sequel's enemies fit into a [[Blob Monster]] category as well.
Line 31:
** This also applies in the Wii version. If the boy falls far enough to start tumbling (about one screen in height), he's doomed. Be very careful about where you Trampoline to....
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: In the Wii game, the Boy is especificallyspecifically said to be around 6 years old. Where on Earth are his ''parents?'' The original looks like a teenager, so he's probably OK on his own, but still..
* [[Portable Hole]]
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: All kings and emperors in the series seem to wear crowns.
Line 96:
* [[Directionally Solid Platforms]]: You need a hole to get back down from these.
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: A certain jellybean will make Blob turn into Boy's shape and replicates his movements. One of the enemies can also do so.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: The graphics. Every movement of the Boy, the Blob, and the enemies is lovingly hand-drawn. The backgrounds exquisitlyexquisitely painted. The developers said they wanted a deliberately nostalgic, warm feel, and knew only traditional animation would get them that. And it looks <s> ''awesome''</s> '''#$)* @& AWESOME'''.
** WayForward has had a history of this, with their previous game [[Shantae]].
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Everyone knows the boy and his blob are going to be seperatedseparated in the end. So how do [[Way Forward]] step it up? The blob leaves, the credits play a song called "Everything to Me" about how the blob is the greatest thing ever to happen to the boy and how lonely he is without him, accompanied by a montage of pictures of them playing together with nobody else in sight, culminating in an end screen of him staring up at the moon forlornly and waiting hopelessly for his only friend to one day return. Forever.}}
** {{spoiler|However, given the fact that you can still redeem your treasure chests and play further challenge levels after the last boss, it seems that the Blob comes back after all.}}
* [[Dummied Out]]: The enemy concept art shows a Spider Blob enemy. It is seen standing among the other enemies in the finalized art. You never encounter it, however.
