Line 152:
* [[Graphics Induced Super Deformed]]: In pseudo-MSX port, Lemeza's head takes up the half of the height in-game. Less so in Wii port due to more pixels.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: The Japanese version of the game opens with "Finally I got to the La-Mulana [sic]. The adventure starts here!" Also, the introduction text of the original was edited a bit for readability in the patch.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: The game is full of them, but without a doubt the worst is the route to Hell Temple, a convoluted sequence with many steps, each of which is itself a massive [[Guide Dang It]]. Screwing up any of these steps can reset the sequence to the beginning, except for the (at least) one that can make Hell Temple [[Lost Forever|permanently inaccessible]]. Of course, preventing the player from going into Hell Temple can be seen as an act of mercy.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Combining certain MSX ROM's can result in useful effects such as boosted attack power or extended [[Mercy Invincibility]] ... but with a pool of over 50 ROM's, good luck trying to figure out what to combine with what.▼
** One could argue the game invokes this trope as part of its game design. It heavily discourages brute-forcing your way through, as almost every puzzle in the game has a non-intuitive solution that would be very difficult to work out via trial and error, thus requiring the use of a "guide". The game just provides said "guide" for you in the form of the tablets (and the manual of course). Not to mention that attacking everything to try and open a route forward will very likely get you killed, because some things shock you with massively damaging lightning if hit.
** The stupid {{spoiler|invisible ladder}} in the Confusion Gate has made several players completely stuck.
** The [[Collapsing Lair]] sequence in the end of the Wiiware remake. How the hell was anyone supposed to figure out to {{spoiler|go to Muburk's Shrine in the Sun Shrine}} to get out of the collapsing ruins, especially with a tight time limit causing major panic, and no warping allowed?
** Good luck defeating Mother without looking at a guide or being really good at understanding cryptic hints.
▲*
* [[Heartbeat Soundtrack]]: Wonder of the Wonder (the Confusion Gate theme) in the new arranged version.
* [[Heart Container]]: Life Jewels in the original, Sacred Orbs in the remake. Don't eat them, though.
