* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Believe It or Not!''

* MatchThreeGame: The Temple Code is a tic-tac-toe grid of inserts in the middle. Getting three jewels (by shooting the middle ramp when the temple is open) in a row gives various awards--[[{{Combos}} possibly more than one at the same time]] if the player's skilled enough.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Antarctica (naturally), as well as the Penguin Jackpot and the tilt quote seen below.

* {{Blipvert}}[=/=]FissionMailed[=/=]InterfaceScrew[=/=]NiceJobBreakingItHero: The introduction to the hidden mode, Frog Frenzy. The game (in a possible ShoutOut to ''Pinball/WhiteWater'') appears to be going on the fritz, and ends with the machine rebooting itself, until the words, "JUST KIDDING!" appears in small letters. After that, Frog Frenzy starts.
