* InventoryManagementPuzzle: This book has you picking three items out of a possible four, and using them at a possibly appropriate time.

Added DiffLines:

The ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' book where you return to Terror Tower.

"You" are hanging out with your friends Sue and Eddie, who first appeared in ''Literature/ANightInTerrorTower''. They tell you that they are secretly the heirs of a medieval kingdom, and they need your help to reclaim their throne from their evil uncle. "You" go back in time to help them, while avoiding many dangers including dragons, monsters, and the Lord High Executioner.


----
!!''Return to Terror Tower'' provides examples of:

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Depending on your choices, this can happen to you with the Lord High Executioner's mind control. Alternatively [[spoiler:it turns out ''he'' is brainwashed, and you break the spell over him by defeating the king.]]
* BurnTheWitch: In one ending, Robin Hood and [[GenderFlip her]] merry men burn you at the stake, believing your 90s-style Walkman to be sorcery.
* CassandraTruth:
** In one ending, you're stuck on your own and have no one to hang out with, because you didn't believe Sue and Eddie's story about being a medieval prince and princess.
** In another, some tourists get sent back to the past with you, and think it's a medieval-themed attraction. You try to warn them that they're in real danger, but they think you are just an actor, and don't listen to you.
* DemotedToExtra: Sue and Eddie, who (depending on the storyline you follow) may barely appear at all.
* EveryoneIsRelated: The best ending has "you" turning out to be Princess Susanna and Prince Edward's cousin, so you get to rule the kingdom with them.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:Attempting a "beginning" spell actually gets you sent back to the beginning of time, and killed.]]
* EvilUncle: The current King is Sue and Eddie's uncle, who has usurped their throne and is trying to have them killed.
* GenderFlip: If you meet Robin Hood during the story, she will turn out to be a woman.
* FaceHeelTurn: Happens to the Lord High Executioner, and all the king's minions in one of the good endings.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Your main quest throughout the story is to collect the three white stones from the first book, which are needed for you to return to the present day. But [[spoiler:if you do collect all three, there's no way to get a good ending - seemingly because Sue and Eddie went back to save their kingdom, and had no intention of returning to the present.]]
* GenreSavvy: The Lord High Executioner is this, since he went to the modern day in the first book, and knows all about you.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the original ''Literature/ANightInTerrorTower'', an old woman promises to hide Sue from the Lord High Executioner - but ends up handing her over out of fear. The old woman is portrayed sympathetically in that book, but in this one, she gives you to the Executioner deliberately just because he's paying her.
* ImAHumanitarian: You may find yourself eaten alive in a bad ending where [[spoiler:Robin Hood and her merry men turn out to be cannibalistic monsters.]]
* InvoluntaryDance: In one ending, the evil king forces you to dance for him until you either die from exhaustion, or (if you stop) get killed by his soldiers.
* SequelNonEntity: Morgred does not return from ''A Night In Terror Tower'', and no real explanation is given for his absence; although you can visit his house and use his spell book in your quest.
* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: One bad ending has you fall asleep on a magical bed and wake up in a hotel in London ... 800 years later, and you're going to be charged for spending ''all'' that time in the hotel.
* TakenForGranite: Happens to you in one bad ending [[spoiler:if you simply try to walk into Terror Tower through the front door.]]
* ThisLoserIsYou: Two endings result in this:
** You refuse to go with Sue and Eddie, and are stuck on your own with nothing to do. The book makes fun of you.
** Sue and Eddie send you back to the present day for your own safety, but (as the book gleefully points out) they're still in serious danger and you did nothing to help.
* TimeTravel: The plot is based around you going back to Sue and Eddie's time to help them reclaim their kingdom.
