Line 27:
* [[Boring but Practical]]: The [[Alluring Anglerfish|Angler Horn]] isn't used to attack, but it makes [[Level Grinding]] easier.
* [[Braggart Boss]]: Many of the bosses are like this, especially Debustega.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Making it worse, the game also likes to show you just how much damage you did when you do what Thou Must. The game makes clear that you're repeatedly committing ''genocide'' against multiple other species to clear the road for your own evolution.
** It's not so much for your own benefit, the crystal-enhanced creatures greatly unbalanced the natural order and would have caused far greater problems if not stopped.
* [[Colony Drop]]: [[Foregone Conclusion|How the Dinosaur Age chapter ends.]]
Line 46:
* [[Flunky Boss]]: {{spoiler|The battle with Bolbox consists mainly of fighting the creatures he spawns and occasionally avoiding his own attacks.}}
** Mother Prime Frog also spawns [[Goddamned Bats|baby Prime Frogs]] to help her fight you.
* [[GaiasGaia's Lament]]: During the Age of Amphibians, much of the world has turned into a barren wasteland due to the insects' overeating of the plants. Fortunately, the world gets better.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: The Rogons. Most of the rest of the enemies have some kind of foreshadowing, even if the plot's a bit thin and unconnected, but the Rogons are both required and have nothing to do with anyone else.
** The final boss definitely qualifies as well. You have zero idea of what's awaiting you as you head through the final dungeon/area.
* [[Goal -Oriented Evolution]]: The object of the story, as well as the game's central basic mechanic (unless the player is more concerned with creating [[Awesome Yet Impractical|entertaining life forms than functional ones]]).
* [[Goomba Stomp]]
* [[Green Rocks]]: The crystals.
* [[Hit Points]]
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Bolbox]], a hideously mutated single-celled organism, wants to be the one to enter Eden with Gaia.}}
* [[Hyper -Destructive Bouncing Ball]]: The Trilobites from Chapter 1 and the Nautiloids from Chapter 3 can morph their bodies into a round shape and bounce around to attack. If you happen to be close to the ground and one of them does this beneath you, they'll basically ricochet between you and the ground until you die.
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: {{spoiler|Two-Legged Mammal.}}
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Gaia is naked.
Line 72:
* [[Magnet Hands|Magnet Mouth]]
* [[Mama Bear|Mama Prime Frog]]
* [[Mix -and -Match Critters]]: The player character can be one, especially as a mammal.
* [[Mook Bouncer]]: The annoying Pteranodons on Mt. Brave will attempt to grab you and drop you off the mountain during your ascent.
** The Cro-Maine miniboss may count, since his attack will knock you out of the level.
Line 80:
* [[Never Say Die]]: You don't kill anyone. You "defeat" them. Especially funny when the bosses declare that "I'm going to defeat you!"
** Averted in other cases. "''Kill'' only for survival and for food."
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Comes naturally with the ability to [[Mix -and -Match Critters|mix and match the body parts of different animals]]. Tiger head with bull horns on a rhino's body, anyone?
* [[One-Hit Polykill]], if they're all in the same area of your strongest bite.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: The well-hidden {{spoiler|[[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|dragon form]]}}.
Line 88:
* [[Point of No Return]]
* [[Restart At Level One]]: EVO points are lost on a new body.
* [[Schizo -Tech]]: Early humans use stone-age [[Bamboo Technology]], but certain crystal-powered species (Bird-Men, the Rogons, {{spoiler|the Martians}}) have access to [[Crystal Spires and Togas]].
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Go ahead, try jumping onto dry land before you've beaten the first boss and evolved lungs.
* [[Scratch Damage]]
* [[Scripted Event]]
* [[Secret Level]]: In Chapter 3, {{spoiler|the cloud level and the River of Asteroid}}.
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: Beating the game as a dinosaur, mainly because the Ice Age is [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World|slippy-slidey]] for them, and unlike birds they can't get around that by flying.
* [[Side View]]
* [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: The Ice Age chapter, naturally. Mammals don't slide on it, though.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: This occurs due to text constraints and regular letter mutation, e.g. dinichthys to zinichthy, stromatolite to strolite, ichthyostega to ikustega, brontosaurus to brosaurus, tyrannosaurs to tyrosaurs, {{spoiler|volvox to Bolbox}}.
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: {{spoiler|The final boss is a gargantuan mutant single-celled organism.}}
