* [[Art Shift]]: This game was done in traditional hand-drawn animation, while the first game was done entirely different compared to this.
* [[Big Eater]]: Although they are NPC's, some of the wizards (not including Rincewind) follow this. Its even shown that there is food in the beginning part of the game.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Rincewind is, instead of a coward, quite bluntly sarcastic about the whole mess he's involved in.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: The beard will probably be enough of a clue for most players, but many characters assume Rincewind is female on account of his dress.
* [[Fetch Quest]]: Frequently used straight, as is standard for the genre, but [[Defied Trope|defied]] at one point. Rincewind goes into a lengthy tirade about how he'll be expected to go on such a quest, and eventually demands that the character just hands him over the key. After the character obliges, we discover that the [[Locked Door]] was on a false wall and that he could simply have walked around it.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: It sometimes heads to this direction for its humor.
* [[Moon Logic Puzzle]]: Some of the puzzles have very obscure solutions, although the game gives a lot more help than the original. Perhaps the most triumphant example is getting the bottle from Mrs. Cake so you can finally trap Foul Old Ron's Vile Smell as one of the ingredients for the Rite.
* [[My Future Self and Me]]: An easter egg shows Rincewind talking with himself from the first game. And he even lampshades that he's from the sequel.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Quite a few, even if the character adaptation can be rather... loose. For example, when trying to become the new Death, Rincewind meets a young Susan, currently playing on a certain distinctive swing...
Line 17:
* [[Out of Character]]: Ponder Stibbons as a ranting [[Mad Scientist]]? Granny Weatherwax getting outsmarted by Rincewind?
* [[Running Gag]]: The characters often say Rincewind's name the wrong way.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many. For example, the Rite of AshkEnte is portrayed as using the Day-Oh song, and the ending is a parody/reversal of ''[[King Kong]]''.
