* CompositeCharacter: His newly-found cowardly personality and friendship with Dan and Josie in "Colossatron's Menace" makes him a stand-in for ''WebAnimation/DanTheMan'' King, another narcissistic character of high authority [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep who is only referred to by the occupation he holds]].

* ShortRangeShotgun: His starter weapon, that functions exactly as it did in other games. However, it can be upgraded for more range.

* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Has green eyes, red hair, and has one of the more significant roles in "The Juice Jitsu Training" event.
* StrawberryShorthand: Mari already has a noticeable strawberry motif, but two of her attacks go even further. Her projectile attack has her throw strawberry at opponents and Level 5 Yoyo Swirl gives her invisibility shield, which also looks like a strawberry. She is also one of the kindest characters in the cast.
* WhyCantIHateYou: After Rory eats all dragon fruit she gave him to look after, she states that she should be mad at him for being a bad bear, but can't, since she finds him cute.

A minor character from ''VideoGame/JetpackJoyride''. One of the many look-alike employees at Legitimate Research, the super-secret laboratory Barry often pays a visit to.

----
* MovesetClone: Shares some of the moveset elements with both Mari and Sensei, though not as much as the Scientist.

->'''Alternate Skins''': Princess
The protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Raskulls}}''. A self-centred but ultimately heroic ruler of the Raskulls species.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: While it could be explained by the fact that it's the [[{{Robeast}} Colossatron]] he's facing against, "Colossatron's Menace" event shows him being rather cowardly, leaving all the fighting to Dan and making excuses just so he wouldn't be the one to face Colossatron's wrath. This cowardliness was not present in ''Raskulls'', where he's shown willingly jumping into action when the opportunity is given.
* MagicStaff: Raskulls Shock has him use his scepter to attack other racers with [[ShockAndAwe electricity]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: While he speaks a lot in ''Raskulls'', he (Like the rest of the Raskulls) never had a proper voice up until this game.

* {{Retreaux}}: Her "Pixel Perfect" skin, based on her sprites from her series.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Despite not being able to do so (at least until [[spoiler:Stage 14]], which was released after this game) in the series she came from, "Colossatron's Menace" shows her talking to other characters with no issues.

The protagonist of [[WebAnimation/DanTheMan the titular series]]. Impulsive hero from a video game doing everything possible to complete it.
----
* ArmorIsUseless: The knight armor he gets [[spoiler:by the end of "Colossatron's Menace"]] zig-zags this. It's based on the armor Dan wore in Stage 5, where it didn't last. In ''Battle Racing Stars'', it doesn't give him any protection in-game, being only cosmetic, and even the Vendor doesn't see much value in it. However, [[spoiler:it turns out to be the key to defeat Colossatron.]]
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Unlike other characters from his series, Dan is still restricted to unintelligible noises. That said, he talks to other characters a lot more than he does in his series, and everyone else seems to understand him regardless.
* {{Retreaux}}: His "Pixel Perfect" skin, based on their sprites from his series.
* TheStoic: The most emotionless of all racers, which was seemingly done to replicate his appearance in his own series, where he doesn't show much emotion by virtue of being a player character. Notably, he doesn't change his expression during his victory or losing animations.
