• Complete Monster: King Henry. He raided a village and killed all of its inhabitants for treasure...except for a young girl he orphaned himself, who he only keeps around to wait for her to spit out the secret of the treasure. He's also described as an extremely oppressive tyrant by the townspeople.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Most of the soundtrack. Remarkable in that the game's composers, Masanori Hikichi and Miyoko Kobayashi, are obscure even by video game music standards.
  • Those Who Stand In My Way, the boss music, deserves particular mention, as does, of course, Overcoming Everything, the Final Boss music.
  • Inside the Door, which plays during the Resurrection cutscenes, is also very good.
  • The overworld themes, The Departure and Further Into the Wide World are also suitably fitting and epic.
  • The music for Crysta, A Place to Return to, is peaceful, wistful, and just slightly sad -- perfectly fitting for Crysta.
  • Prime Blue is surprisingly detailed and majestic despite only playing in magishops.
  • Hometown
• Genius Bonus: The resurrection of life on Earth follows the order shown in the Book of Genesis.
  • Also, Crysta wasn't an original creation of Dark Gaia, it was merely a copy of Storkholm. This fits with the Biblical saying that Satan cannot create original life.
• Hell Is That Noise: This song, which plays near the portal and in various ruins.
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Oh so much of it.
• Memetic Badass: Ark.
• Narm: Mainly due to the Good Bad Translation.
  • Narm Charm
• National Stereotypes: Yunkou depicts a highly unflattering portrayal of China. The townsfolk there do not speak properly unlike the other people around the world, and the town itself is polluted and unclean, with a brownish coloration outside and ugly pipes and vents on the insides. This was probably one of the many reasons Terranigma never got exported to the USA.
• Needs More Love
• The Scrappy: Perel, the annoying stereotypical black 90s skateboarding kid, who for some reason gets to be one of Ark's closest allies on the surface world.
  • Ethnic Scrappy
• That One Boss: Bloody Mary. She has higher HP than any of the bosses before her, while coupling it with insane defense. Her attacks are also incredibly powerful. Fortunately (perhaps as an act of mercy), she's the only boss you can use magic on.
• The Woobie: Ark in the ending, and earlier when he realizes what his purpose is.
