* [[Action Bomb]]: A variation of the game's [[The Goomba|goomba]], [[Palette Swap|but coloured red]]. It dies in one hit (even from the weakest projectile), and will die harmlessly if you can kill it before it notices you. Once it does however, it will ''set itself on fire and sprint full-tilt towards you''. Its explosion also hurts any enemies around it, and if you can get out of the (admittedly large) explosion radius, they can be [[Helpful Mook|Helpful Mooks]]. Otherwise, they're [[Goddamn Bats]].

* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: The giant fish in 3-1. Used again a few times in the fifth world.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: A number of the more advanced moves (such as "charging up" a projectile attack by shooting it and then making up to four [[Tetris Attack|Match Threes]] in the Puzzle Realm before it hits its target) are only discussed in the manual. Lord help you if you buy the game used and without a manual. It doesn't even count as [[Guide Dang It]], because the [[GameFAQs]] community doesn't seem to think the game worthy of providing a proper level-by-level walkthrough.

* [[Dual Boss]]: Subverted. The Captain and his nurse share the same health bar, but fight as one, with the nurse using the poor old man as a weapon most of the time.

* [[Elevator Action Sequence]]: The last map in Chapter 5-3 has you riding an elevator up to the treasure at the end of the level. In practice, they're essentially four [[Inescapable Ambush|Inescapable Ambushes]] in a row.

* [[New Game+]]: Gentleman Mode, a rare example of New Game Plus actually making the game ''harder''. You have less time to spend in Puzzle Mode and the puzzle raises itself at a much faster rate. Have fun dealing with the enemies returning as [[Demonic Spider|Demonic Spiders]]!

** This game felt a bit like an homage to [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck]] and [[DuckTales]] with original "human" (cartoonish) characters in place of the Ducks. Henry Hatsworth is a rich elderly adventurer with more skill than men a third his age who goes around the world searching for valuable treasures, much like Scrooge (the only difference being that he's British). The main antagonist (until the "twist" comes along) is Weasleby, a foppish and arrogant dandy with glasses who probably inherited all his money, much like Scrooge villain John D. Rockerduck (also known as Robax). It's interesting that Scrooge always wears a top hat and Rockerduck a bowler hat, while for Hatsworth and Weasleby their headgear is reversed. Surely coincidence, but there's a similarity there.
