Line 15:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: In the "Just Plain Epic" route of ''Stealing the Diamond'', Henry [[Super Mario Bros.|becomes a giant after touching a golden mushroom]].
* [[Big Bad]]: Reginald Copperbottom, the leader of the Toppat Clan, serves as this in ''Infiltrating the Airship'', the "Betrayed" route in ''Fleeing the Complex'', and some of the routes in ''Completing the Mission''.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]/[[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: In the remastered version of ''Escaping the Prison'', Phoenix Wright of ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' fame is renamed Felix White.
* [[Cyborg]]:
** In ''Completing the Mission'', Right Hand Man is depicted as one in each of the routes that spawn off the "Relentless Bounty Hunter" or "Rapidly Promoted Executive" routes from ''Infiltrating the Airship''.
** Henry himself becomes one in the "Revenged" route of ''Completing the Mission''. {{spoiler|Unfortuneatley for him, he dies again after being shot in the back by Reginald.}}
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: {{spoiler|If the player chooses the "Toppat CivalCivil Warfare" route in ''Completing the Mission''<ref>This route follows the "Rapidly Promoted Executive" and "Ghost Inmate" endings for ''Infiltrating the Airship'' and ''Fleeing the Complex'', respectively</ref>, Henry's decision to abandon Ellie comes back to bite him in the butt when Ellie manages to break into the Toppat Clan's airship and turn most of the Toppats against Henry.}}
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]:* The art style in ''Breaking the Bank'' is more simplistic than the art style in all subsequent games. In addition, none of the options had the iconic "Fail" screens. These were fixed in the 2020 remaster.
** Each of the endings in the original Flash versions of ''Escaping the Prison'' and ''Stealing the Diamond'' had simple names (E.G. the "Sneaky Ending" in ''Escaping the Prison'' or the "Epic Ending" in ''Stealing the Diamond''). In the 2020 remasters, they are given more elaborate names, such as "Sneaky Escapist" in ''Escaping the Prison'', or "Just Plain Epic" in ''Stealing the Diamond''.
* [[Game-Breaking Bug]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] on [[Rule of Three|three]] different occasions:
** One of the fails in the "Just Plain Epic" route in ''Stealing the Diamond'' has Henry spawn MissingNo of ''[[Pokémon]]'' fame. However, when he does this, the game cuts to a screen resembling the Windows Blue Screen of Death, with a binary message on the "Fail" screen which translates to "Fear MissingNo."
Line 33 ⟶ 36:
* [[Running Gag]]:
** At one point in each game, Henry has the option to use a teleporter, but doing so almost always results in him dying in some way (except for the "Unseen Burglar" route in ''Stealing the Diamond'' {{spoiler|and the "Jewel Baron" route in ''Completing the Mission''}}).
** Starting with ''Infiltrating the Airship'', Henry can call on Charles to help him out. The problem is, though, that Charles' "plans" always involve him ramming his helicoptorhelicopter into things. {{spoiler|Although this actually '''does''' work in the "Valient Hero" route of ''Completing the Mission''.}}
* [[Shout Out]]:
** Infiltrating the Airship:
