* ElectiveUnintelligible: WordOfGod has stated that, while he genuinely speaks in beeps and boops when having conversations with others, he's actually fully capable of speaking clear English if he wants to (as demonstrated in the Boyfriend Remix of "Fresh", sung by his "voice actor" Kawai Sprite). He merely dislikes conversing with people most of the time, as he deliberately invokes being TheUnintelligible. [[invoked]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Whenever she's about to use her demonic powers, she temporarily takes on the purple-skinned red-eyed look of her parents, before going back to her regular human-like form. This strongly implies that, when ninjamuffin stated the reason she doesn't look like her parents is because of "true love", he meant that she loves Boyfriend so much that she tries to be as much of a normal human as he is that she can when circumstances permit it, down to looking like one, with any direct demon power usage causing a GlamourFailure until she stops doing so.

Added DiffLines:

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He has a much zanier and more unsettling design than the rest of the main cast, with a purely black body that looks like it's made out of shadow, prominent ScaryTeeth, eyes with gigantic, quivering pupils, and thinner lines on his face and neck than the game's usual ThickLineAnimation style. His music is out there, too, being inspired by the Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra rather than the electronic music associated with the rest of the game.


Added DiffLines:

* RadioVoice: On top of the [[VoiceOfTheLegion unsettling overlap effect]] applied to his voice, the Monster's vocals are ever-so-slightly bitcrushed and given a bit of reverb.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassDriver: In Week 4, one of the Henchmen drives the car where Boyfriend and Mommy Mearest are battling it out. He never crashes the vehicle or even makes a mistake, even though Mommy Mearest is standing ''directly over the windshield''.

Don didn't make Rushdown Rivals

While [=SoftDon=] didn't make music, Cassette Girl still became popular on Newgrounds, and she was set to appear in a future week as well as a playable character, until some controversy stirred up from her creator and she was scrapped from the game entirely.

"Satin Panties" and "High" both feature [[https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.uoregon.edu/dist/a/14036/files/2017/01/DTCs-in-Rock-Proposal-SMT-2017-27t8eq4.pdf double-tonic complexes]], a type of tonal ambiguity that's popularly used in '80s pop and rock music. Her final song, "MILF", was [[WordOfGod confirmed by Kawai Sprite]] to have a melody inspired by [[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"]], which was released in 1987.
