Line 8:
The protagonist, Henry Hatsworth, #1 member of the Pompous Adventurer's Club, is on a mission to obtain the legendary Golden Suit created by the Gentleman, who could control the Puzzle Realm with it in order to obtain that world's treasure. He discovers the first piece, the Golden Hat, resulting in the re-opening of the Puzzle Realm. With the aid of his assistant, Cole, he must travel all over the world in order to collect every piece of the suit and seal the Puzzle Realm once and for all. However, he's not the only one seeking the pieces; his [[Arch Enemy]], Leopold Charles Anthony Weasleby the Third, has the same goal. [[Nintendo Hard|And he won't let Hatsworth succeed so easily...]]
The game brilliantly combines puzzle games (think ''[[Panel de Pon]]'') and platformers into one. Compare ''[[Puzzle Quest]]'', which did the same with RPGs. Has a [[Spiritual Successor]]

Line 23:
* [[Bald of Evil]]: {{spoiler|Lance Banson}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Lady D doesn't like being rejected. Also, don't try taking the Captain's shoes.
* [[Bonus Stage]]: Within a few levels are portals that take you to these stages. They're really good for getting loads of currency (which will serve the player well if they want all upgrades).
* [[Boss Remix]]: Weasleby's battle theme, Dirty Tricks, is a sped up, clockwork remix of his [[Leitmotif]], Conversational Unpleasantries.
* [[Bottomless Pits]]: As to be expected, the game uses them every so often. It's also one of the reasons why you'll hate Tealand.
* [[Bullet Hell]]: {{spoiler|Cole's robot in 5-6}}.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Good Show!"
Line 80:
* [[Robotic Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Weasleby in 5-6. He twitches a bit, then his head falls off and Cole jumps out of his body - he was just a robot controlled by Cole}}.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: TEA TIME!
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Lots of well-detailed and colourful background artwork and spritework abounds.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** This game felt a bit like an homage to [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck]] and [[DuckTales (1987)]] 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.
