The story follows the adventures of [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Ziggy]], as he tries to save his baby brother Zero from the evil [[Big Bad|Number 42]] and his [[Assimilation Plot|Machine Network]]. Along the way he gathers a huge group of Tune Troopers, as well as [[Robot Girl|Robot Boy]] Z.E.R.O and a quintet of unique, superiorTroopers, the so-called Superstars.

* [[Assimilation Plot]]: [[Big Bad|Number 42]]'s Network.

* [[Aura Vision]]: When Seattelite's daughter, who is blind, meets the party, she describes their auras. This actually factors into game terms: Seatellite, who's a blue resonance type, has a blue aura, while Ziggy, the game's only white type, has an aura like she's never seen.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: And all of them are named after songs or lyrics.

* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Well, Ziggy doesn't know whether Zero is dead or alive, but he still nicknames his machine companion Z.E.R.O after him.

* [[Experience Points]]: Play Points are earned by listening to songs. This means that you don't have to spend hours grinding levels, but only the songs you have troopers made from actually earn you anything... and woe betide you if you get a [[Joke Character|Woody]] on your favorite song.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Though, to be fair, machines are a constant menace, so it's no wonder Z.E.R.O catches so much flack.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Everyone and everything is named after a music reference, except the robots. The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Stargazers]] are named mostly after poker terms.

** For example, Ziggy is named after David Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Several of the Toon Troopers and Superstars bear a striking resemblance to various real-life musicians. For example, Golden Wing looks like Jimi Hendrix (and is "said to be the reincarnation of a great musician from an alien world).

* [[Power of Rock]]: Music is power, literally.

* [[The Stoic]]: Z.E.R.O would like to remind you that machines have no emotions.

* [[Save Scumming]]: Did your [[Crowning Music of Awesome|favorite song]] create a Trooper with crappy stats? No problem. Just dismiss the new Trooper, and repeat the creation process with the same song. You'll get teh same class, but hopefully better stats.

* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Well, technically there's five jobs, but it normally falls into this. Archers > Knights & Soldiers > Monks > Archers. Mages are a bit of a wild card here: They deal a lot of damage with their magic, but take more damage from ''everyone'' in physical combat.

* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: There's a large amount of confusion over [http://songsummoner.wikia.com/wiki/File:Supernova.png Supernova's] real gender. Here's a hint: {{spoiler|it's a boy}}.

** The only one who breaks the class=weapon rule is Ziggy, who uses a sword because being [[The Hero]] trumps being a mage.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Ziggy, the game's hero, is a surprisingly upbeat and perky one of these.
