* [[Car Fu]]: The mechos are able to [[Ramming Always Works|ram each other]], jump, roll, swim, burrow and even fly when properly equipped. Oh, and did we mention the guns?

* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Eleepods' Vangers, larvae and goods are associated with green colour, the Beeboorats' are with orange, and the Zeexen are with blue. Also, every cycle has its own colour.

* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: The intro shows an Oxidize Monk gunning down an AtTractor with a Beebbanoza Blockade, which is ''not even supposed to be installed into that mechos''.

* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Averted with the Beeboorats - you ''are'' given more respect as you rise through their ranks. Played straight with everyone else. Also, other vangers respect (read: run away if they are weak, hunt you down if they aren't) you more as your dominance stat grows.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Or the closest thing to it. It is not really hard to get it, but it's hard to figure out what to do.

* [[Everything Breaks]]: One of the engine's gimmicks. Your ''every'' action affects the terrain. Jumping from under a bridge leaves a [[Efficient Displacement|cartooney hole]] in it, the mechos leave tire tracks, the ground gets disfigured by explosions... It makes one wonder how the architecture of the Chain was still intact by the time you start playing. Luckily, storing all the terrain changes between saves is optional.

* [[Fictional Currency]]: The Beebs - primitive ''insectoid organisms''. The worlds of the Chain are ''crawling'' with these things, and you can even catch them for money, but you'll soon get bored.

* [[Unwanted False Faith]]: Zeephra and her bunch worship the WeeZyk - [[Deity of Human Origin|the last Softie]] (or so she says). He would probably deny being a god, if he wasn't, you know, long dead.

* [[Useful Book]]: Poponkas are clay tablets bearing Zeexen [[Deity of Human Origin|religious gibberish]]. B-Zone dwellers mostly use them as bricks. The Eleepods do appreciate their literary value, though.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can sell Elipod passangers and Eliks (Elipod infants) to Biburats to be used in sadistic games or as snacks. And, of course, you can murder every mechos you encounter, whether they are hostile or not.

* [[Video Game Geography]]: The worlds are toroidal; the inhabited worlds are simulated as cylindrical with the use of [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence|mountains with repulsive properties]] - you are pushed away if you try to cross them. Using a [[Good Bad Bugs]] ({{spoiler|the beeb form is not affected by the repulsion}}) or {{spoiler|[[Rocket Jump|mushroom jump]]}} can save you a lot of time here...

* [[Wanting Is Better Than Having]]: {{spoiler|Bios' desire for Larvae is the only thing that keeps them alive. Bring them all Larvae, and they will die.}}
