Line 138:
* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Zeal. Not many crystals, but...
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Frog, cursed with his [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|eponymous]] form, gains the ability to jump absurdly high distances and use his tongue as a grappling hook and [[Squick|healing implement]]. In fact, he delivers a [[Take That]] to Magus during their first battle, telling him that he actually enjoys his new form now.
* [[Cute Machines]]: Robo and Atropos XR.
* [[Cutscene Incompetence]]: As stated in the entry, averted when {{spoiler|Robo gets beaten up by the R-series in Proto Dome, as he didn't want to fight them himself or let Crono and Lucca/Marle fight them}}. But played straight in the prehistoric era when the party is "hopelessly outnumbered" by a party of eight Reptites, when they'd just been able to defeat five of them moments before. Even worse when the party gets {{spoiler|captured by Dalton (whom you'd previously defeated as a boss) and a few random mooks}}.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Practically everything Magus does before {{spoiler|he joins the party}}, as well as the Masamune's power. [[Justified Trope]] in Magus' case, as Lavos drains him of his power when he attacks it.
Line 348 ⟶ 349:
* [[Mistaken for Murderer]]: Kidnapper in this case. As soon as Crono returns from the past for the first time after saving the princess, he's arrested for kidnapping. This is due to the fact that {{spoiler|the "Chancellor" is now a descendant of Yakra, due to the fact that, since you went back in time and stopped the original Yakra from impersonating the Chancellor, his broodlings took it upon themselves to finish what he had started. The "mistake" is merely actually an act of revenge}}.
* [[Money Spider]]: Except in 65 Million B.C., where the local equivalent of currency is dropped instead (you ''can'' still spend G in that era, but it's only with one guy who is interested in trading for your 'shiny stone', and he just sells some regular items).
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Traveling directly from [[Arcadia|the Present]] to [[Polluted Wasteland|the Future]] near the beginning of the game is a particularly notable example of this, especially when you discover [[And I Must Scream|the main problem with Enertrons]].
* [[Mook Maker]]: The conveyor belt in the Factory.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: There are 12, many of which can only be attained in a [[New Game+]]. Perhaps the first game of its genre to use this to any significant degree. And variations on some of those depending on whether {{spoiler|Crono is dead or Magus is in your party}}, and on the method you use to reach Lavos. The Playstation port and DS version throws in another one for good measure.
