Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Most of the opponents in the B-Ball Dimension Arena Tournament, except for the final battle with Kevin Garnett. Special mention goes to the Flame Delmon, who blows ''himself'' up early into the fight. Barkley [[Irony|comments afterwards that it was tough]].
** Also the {{spoiler|Ball Spider that guards Shimmerglobe, which is just a normal enemy from an early dungeon, yet is treated as a boss with the boss music playing}}.
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKQiZVBtu4 EVERYBODY GET UP/IT'S TIME TO SLAM NOW].
** The song has been remixed with just about any song in existence underneath it. Like "[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Libera Me]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkOj5DAJu2A&feature=related From Hell]" or "[[Ace Attorney|Objection:]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcfXh9xqiCU Cornered]". It has something like the same reputation as [[Street Fighter|Guile's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDFDzTOyLvo theme], for its ability to go with anything.
Line 6 ⟶ 8:
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Dread Refs appear as a miniboss in the first dungeon, and then as normal enemies later on. They can summon more Dread Refs, and also inflict foul on you, making you miss a turn. They also have a relatively strong, multi-hit attack.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: Parodied by [[Save Point|the Pumps]], who spew long, pretentious rants at you about the superiority of Japanese "[[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|vidcons]]" whenever you're trying to save your game.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrUA-BB6Kd8&NR=1&feature=fvwp This McDonald's ad from the 1990s1990's] (see [[Moral Event Horizon]] below). Suddenly, interaction between {{spoiler|Jordan and Bird}} has lost its humor value... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFt4S6hKwR0 And then there's the ad's sequel, including Barkley himself.].
** ''[[Space Jam]]'' in general might also qualify.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: While enemies don't typically respawn, it's possible to make them respawn by saving, quitting to the title screen, then loading the save file. Using this it's possible to grind for more money and experience.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: '''CHAOS DUNK'''
** '''CHAOS DUNK''', referring to why basketball is [[Serious Business]] in-universe.
** Quad City DJs vs. something mashups of the ''[[Space Jam]]'' theme, in the tradition of the [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|main theme]], the titles and descriptions of which (on [[YouTube]] at least) often allude to the game in some way.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: [[Fallen Hero|Michael Jordan]] is pretty bad from the start, but he comes across as a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], if [[Knight Templar|one with an emphasis on the]] ''[[Knight Templar|extremist]]'', until {{spoiler|you reach the church for the second time, Jordan's already fatally wounded Larry Bird, and he is threatening to kill Hoopz}}. And if it's not that, it's {{spoiler|infecting Hoopz with Type 2 diabetes after your trek through the Spalding building.}}.
* [[That One Level]]: It is laughably easy to die in the Sugar Caves. Get used to reading "The... the sugar... granules everywhere! Ugh!".
* [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs]]: This is what happens when you get high while on a 90's nostalgia trip.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Cuchulainn's Tomb. With no foreshadowing beforehand, we learn that Charles Barkley's tragic flaw is his love for gold... for some reason. Subverted in that the implications were [[Rule of Funny|almost certainly intentional.]].
* [[The Untwist]]: {{spoiler|The Ultimate Hellbane being Balthios}}. The main reason being, if he gets a status effect on him in battle, it refers to him as {{spoiler|Balthios}}.
