{{tropelist}}
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Ink is used instead as ammunition.
* [[After the End]]: Most mammalian life is eradicated by the time of the games.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: The reason Cap'n Cuttlefish has to [[Recruit Teenagers with Attitude]] (including the player) to help him is because none of the adult Inklings believe his claims of an impending attack by the Octarians. {{spoiler|Well, nobody except Callie & Marie, but the player doesn't learn that until later.}}
* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Inklings and Octolings play a major role in the story, though other cephalopods make an appearance as well.
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: Ink is shot rather then traditional ammo.
* [[Acrophobic Bird|Hydrophobic Squid]]: Despite being super-evolved forms of aquatic mollusks, Inklings will die instantly if immersed in water, though they can "swim" in ink.
* [[Non-Mammalian Hair]]: Played with. Most characters have what appears to be hair at first glance, but is really just their tentacles, which due to their location and style resemble hair.
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Character speed in a strange language.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The player character's actual name is up to the player, but is given the designation "Agent 3" by Cap'n Cuttlefish. {{spoiler| There are Agents 2 and 3 too, namely Callie and Marie.}}
