Line 2:
'''Basic Trope''': No matter how vital and urgent [[The Hero]]'s goal is, the player can stall and goof around as much as they please before advancing the plot.
* '''Straight''': [[The Hero|Albert]] and his companions are on a grand journey to defeat [[Evil Overlord|Emperor Evulz]], who is poised to conquer the whole world. ...However, despite the urgency of their quest, Albert is free to wander about exploring the world, taking [[Sidequest|Sidequests]] and playing [[Mini Game|games]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Emperor Evulz has stolen the [[Cosmic Keystone|Cosmic Keystones]] and used them to activate the [[Ominous Floating Castle|Tyrian Obelisk Fortress]], and has kidnapped [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses|Princess Velvet]] and [[Mysterious Waif|Selene]]. Using [[MacGuffin Girl|Selene's blood]], he intends to perform an unholy ritual that will make him immortal and corrupt the princess into his helpless thrall -- only the first of many, as he intends to enslave the entire world! ...This doesn't mean, however, that Albert has to actually ''hurry'' or anything; no matter how much he dawdles, he'll still arrive [[Always Close|just barely in the nick of time]].
* '''Justified''': Albert isn't aware of it, but the [[Sword of Plot Advancement|Solmoon Blade]] is actually [[Unholy Holy Sword|vital to the ceremony]]. Emperor Evulz knows that Albert will come after him, and has decided to let this so-called "hero" do all the work just to [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|let Velvet and Selene think they're going to be rescued]].
** Or see the Played For Laughs version below.
* '''Inverted''': No matter how quickly you get to where you have to be, you're always treated as being late.
Line 13:
** People stop caring about Emperor Evulz, who is [[Put On a Bus]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Everyone agrees that Albert should take his time and try not to think too much about everyone else lest [[Samaritan Syndrome]] drive him crazy.
** [[Anti -Hero]] [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|D. G. Savvy]] arranges for Albert to be indefinitely [[Sidetracked By the Gold Saucer]]. Since he never gets back to the plot, Emperor Evulz's plan never advances either, and the world lives on.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Albert and his friends can generally take their time exploring at whatnot; however, there are a few [[Timed Mission|Timed Missions]] where they must act quickly or fail miserably. There are also a few events that are only available during a certain window of game time, but [[Guide Dang It|there's no easy way of telling when those windows open or close]].
* '''Averted''': The game times you fairly. If you're late, you're late.
