Line 10:
* [[Artistic License Economics]]: HP600 potions cost 5000GP, and will boost your max HP by a random amount from 5 to 20 points as long as your maximum HP is under 600. For that same price you could buy 50 HP200 potions which will still boost your maximum HP by one point apiece even if your maximum HP exceeds 200.
* [[Badass Biker]]: So-Cho. Better still, he lends you his [[Cool Bike]].
* [[Blessed
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: It's not ''that'' bad, if a little stilted and lacking some of the subtleties of the original Japanese. But then you have items like "Balkan" (Vulcan) and "Catcraw" (Cat Claw). The ending credits are also completely missing from the NA version.
** Something was definitely lost in translation during the final encounter with {{spoiler|the creator}}. Your character is for some reason offended at being offered exactly what he/she was expecting as a reward for having climbed the tower, and decide that [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching out the Creator]] [[Violence Is the Only Option|is the only option]].
Line 18:
* [[Bubbly Clouds]]: The Sky World.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: The Sky World resistance leader has twin daughters. One is part of the resistance and the other works for Byak-ko. The latter is brought around by her sister's {{spoiler|noble sacrifice}}.
* [[The Cameo]]: Some graphics are reused from ''[[
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The man in the black hat.
* [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: Subverted. Nearly every boss prior to the very endgame is susceptible to being instantly killed by petrification... and in the original Gameboy version, the ''final boss'' can be one-hit killed by a chainsaw due to a glitch.
Line 68:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|The Creator}} is this to Ashura.
* [[Match Maker Quest]]: Your party's first quest is to get the King of Armor together with the girl he loves, the [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals|"most beautiful girl in the village"]]. Luckily, it's as simple as killing the bandit who was trying to coerce the girl into marrying him.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted, surprisingly for a Nintendo title of the time. Characters who lose all their HP are starkly put in 'dead' status. Not to mention the {{spoiler|completely out of the blue roomful of explicitly dead children near the end of the game.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: One recurring character is identifiable solely by his incredibly awesome black silk hat.
* [[Number of the Beast]]: Several monster types have 666 hit points maximum, including Boneking, Demoking, Tiamat, and some others.
Line 79:
** Actually -- at least in the [[Wonder Swan]] remake -- you can technically leave it any time up until you start the last battle if you have a Door or someone with the teleport ability.
*** This is true for the original [[Game Boy]] version as well.
* [[Save Scumming]]: The only surefire way to hold on to mutant abilities and get the most out of stat raising potions. The good news is that saving and reloading are both incredily [[Anti
* [[Shout-Out]]: The World of Ruins seems to be a reference to the "Neotokyo" genre, particularly to the film [[
** The in-game animation for the Saw weapon/ability in the [[Wonder Swan]] remake, where it shows a vertical slash bisecting the target. This is a reference to the {{spoiler|final boss's}} death animation, where he is bisected and splits apart.
* [[Soft Reset]]: The inclusion of this feature is notable mainly because of the sheer amount of [[Save Scumming]] one tends to do in this game.
