Line 20:
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Knuckle Mole
* [[Five-Bad Band]]: The CosmoNOTS.
** [[Big Bad]]: Mint
** [[The Dragon]]: Lester
** [[Evil Genius]]: Nadia
** [[The Brute]]: Bull
** [[Pet Monstrosity]]: {{spoiler|1=the nameless dragon that the CosmoNOTS control with a cell and which serves as the penultimate boss}}
*** But, curiously enough, although they mostly serve as semi-malevolent [[Mini Boss|minibosses]] for most of the game, when they're all in a group they act more like...
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: [[The Heart|Mint]]
** [[The Lancer]]: [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Lester]]
Line 39:
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]], partially subverted: You gain abilities and health by eating food, but it takes time to digest, so you can't cram burgers into your face indefinitely.
* [[Karma Meter]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: While it still bears the [[Mind Screw|Mind Screwy]] hallmarks of [[Suda 51]]'s handiwork, it's a downright [[Sugar Bowl]] compared to his other works.
** This could be because he had a lot less to do with the development of this game than the others. He says the only thing he worked on in the game was Mochi.
* [[Level Grinding]]
Line 46:
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The Professor talks directly to you, the player.
** Because the player is an actual character, and the link between the two screens.
* [[Non
* {{spoiler|[[People Puppets]]}}: {{spoiler|You, the player, have been doing this to all the game characters without knowing it. Especially Terry, who calls you out on this during the game's ending.}}
* [[Power-Up Food]]: Besides restoring HP, food can also give boosts to various stats for the duration it takes to digest it.
Line 53:
* [[Romance Sidequest]]: Terry can woo four girls in the game, culminating in them living in the ship with him. Oddly, already having one girl does not mean another girl can not come. You can even have all four living with you at once, with no repercussions.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Occasionally, the Professor will quote popular [[Memetic Mutation|Internet memes]] ([[For Massive Damage]], [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]], etc.). The game manual is even formatted to look like the Professor's [[Live Journal]] (or rather, ''[[Brand X|VirtuaDiary]]''). [[No Export for You|But not in Europe.]]
** Arguably the reason why ''[[MOTHER]]''/''[[Earthbound]]'' fans took notice of the game lies in similar elements. The favorite food naming for example...
* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: Aegis
* [[Team Pet]]: Mochi, the space dog-that-thinks-it's-a-cat.
