* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: The princess. {{spoiler|Squiddy doesn't even mention the princess until the game is almost over--it comes across like he just made her up. Then King Squid, in spite of being a card-carrying villain, vehemently denies kidnapping her, further calling into question her involvement with the story. Then she shows up at the end of the game anyway.}} |

* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: Pokey the cactus, first encountered in the middle of a forest. [[Lampshade Hanging|Jables asks him what he's doing there]], and he himself isn't sure. Later, Pokey shows up inside a volcano, and explains that he got there by digging. |

* [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds]]: The creator's description of the game calls it "an adventure filled with ... useless advice..." and he's not kidding. Squiddy thinks Jables couldn't ''jump'' before meeting him; he tries to teach Jables how to break blocks with his mind; and some of his useful facts about fruit are complete nonsense. |

* [[Morton's Fork]]: Employed by Rutherford Goldbeard. First he thinks Jables is a cattle rustler, who therefore needs to die. When Jables convinces him he's ''not'' there for any cattle, Rutherford concludes Jables has been possessed by a brain squid--and Rutherford's brain-squid-removal procedure is no less lethal than his anti-cattle-rustler measures. |

* [[Music Soothes the Savage Beast]]: After gaining the strawberry, Jables spontaneously sings the ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'' theme song, which calms the SCUBA bear's rage. |

If you pester the mermaid too much, you're gonna have a bad time." {{spoiler|If you talk to her again, she says "I warned you," and kills you instantly.}} |
