{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: The new protagonist

** A genie.
** [[Sinister Scimitar|Scimitars]].
** A magic carpet.
** A merchant who uses a camel.
** A Taj Mahal-esque palace.
** Caravans.
** And some of the music is done in an Arabic-style.
* [[Back
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Asha/Arsha fits this trope to a T. Not only does she go out and fight against the evil threatening the world. She is also the one to finally put an end to {{spoiler|Biomeka
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|A fully grown Pepe gets to be the hero twice}}.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Let's face it... Pepe. During the adventure, Asha gets him to do all sorts of harmful things (like serving as a platform while in contact with lava or getting frozen).

** Shion himself is mentioned in one of the books.
** {{spoiler|Biomeka, the villian from Wonderboy in Monster World IS Fear Incarnate
* [[Collision Damage]]: Averted with most enemies (the ones that do hurt you are the ones that look painful, like the ones that are [[Incendiary Exponent|on fire]]), despite being played straight in the rest of the series.

* [[Darkest Hour]]:
* [[Evil All Along]]:
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Of [[Ancient Arabia]] in particular.
* [[Flying Carpet]]: Used to reach the sky dungeon.
* [[Hailfire Peaks]]: The Ice Pyramid is a mix of [[Temple of Doom]] and [[Slippy
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Done twice by the {{spoiler|the Pepelagoo}}. First, he [[Taking the Bullet|takes the missile]] that the queen shoots at Asha. Then, in the final battle, he blocks the boss from using his petrifying gaze, getting turned to stone himself in the process.
* [[Inconveniently
* [[Obviously Evil]]: The Warlocks in their human forms. Scowling faces with black beards, pointy ears... Come on!
* [[Recurring Riff]]: Nearly the entire soundtrack consists of rearrangements of the game's main theme.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: The Pepelogoo.
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: Pepe does not follow Asha during the final two levels {{spoiler|after nearly getting killed}}.
* [[Spell My Name
