Line 34:
** For Melody, it's dead parents and {{spoiler|later, dead ''surrogate parent'', leading to a gigantic [[You Killed My Father]].}}
** For Fiona, {{spoiler|she's simply [[Last of Her Kind|last of the]] [[Precursor|Precursors]]. [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Their princess,]] in fact.}}
* [[Cool Airship]]: Your only means of transportation in this game. You can fire guns and cannons and magically charged orbs on it, but that's standard issue. What really sets it apart is the fact that there's a BFS attached to the front which you use to impale other less cool airships by flying into them. Without taking collateral damage.
* [[Disney Death]]: Gilbert pulls this off ''so often'' - totally turning the [[Sorting Algorithm of Mortality]] on its head thanks to being the parent of a protagonist - {{spoiler|that his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] later in the game [[Like You Would Really Do It|loses all dramatic effect]].}}
* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: The Mt. Fuji base fills every point of this trope ''except'' [[The Reveal]] and the presence of the [[Big Bad]], who never actually shows his face until near the very last dungeon. While something ''is'' revealed, it's a much smaller plot point than some of the later [[The Reveal|reveals]].
Line 73:
* [[Metal Slime]]: The Pegasus and [[Palette Swap|Soleil]], when encountered in the airship. In the dungeons they appear in, they're much less beneficial (but much easier to kill).
* [[Monster Town]]: The Land of [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Korol]].
* [[MotifsMotif]]: Time and clocks in general seem to be a distinct, recurring motif throughout the game.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: Fiona
* [[Pixel Hunt]]: Finding JUST the right point to uncover a World Treasure can be an ordeal, especially at high altitudes.
Line 86:
* [[So Proud of You]]: {{spoiler|Melody's mother, about fifteen years after her death. [[Fridge Logic|Witches are apparently]] [[Crazy Prepared]].}}
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: {{spoiler|Happily averted with Pad's mum.}}
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Notably, your airship can get them, as well - catching on fire is analogous to [[Universal Poison|poisoning]], electric surges cause your airship to short out, working like paralysis, and disabling weapons [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|...disables your weapons]].
* [[Static Character]]: Eddie gets basically no [[Character Development]] at all while the rest of the main team at least gets some.
* [[A Taste of Power]]: At the very beginning of the game, playing as Gilbert.
