!!This thread provides examples of the following tropes:

** '''Heavily''' exaggerated. Every player character (and a few non-player characters) gets a color or combined set of colors to identify them. However, this does not stop people from changing colors when they are reincarnated or turned into a robot.

* {{Crossover}}: From VideoGame/AHatInTime to Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure, to the point where the use of Stands and Pokemon is commonplace, and an appearance from Exdeath of VideoGame/FinalFantasyV is just a normal occurrence.

* ApocalypseHow:

** Snaz also destroyed Universe 239's original timeline [[spoiler:when he used the power of ''Made in Heaven'' to speed up time back to the Stone Age.]]

* ApocalypseHow: To the extent of Class X-5, as Mewtwo destroys Universe 147 within ''seven'' turns.

* BatterUp: It's a game about baseball, what else was there to expect?
** However, while a couple of characters use baseball bats as weapons, nothing beats [[spoiler:The Coach's use of one. He beats Sora's character within an inch of his life during TheReveal, and that doesn't even include the fact that he materialized it out of thin air.]]
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: '''Heavily''' exaggerated. Every player character (and a few non-player characters) gets a color or combined set of colors to identify them. However, this does not stop people from changing colors when they are reincarnated or turned into a robot.

* Crossover: From VideoGame/AHatInTime to Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure, to the point where the use of Stands and Pokemon is commonplace, and an appearance from Exdeath of VideoGame/FinalFantasyV is just a normal occurrence.
* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: The Coach. He reveals at the end of Arc Two that not only did he plan for the Sandlot Crew to gather the Soul of the Multiverse for him, but that he planned Mewtwo's destruction of Universe 147 to set the whole act into motion, all so that he could have all of his potential threats killed for him as well as gaining access to the Soul.]]
** [[spoiler:''"I was simply passing by your Universe, when I saw Mewtwo swallow that ball like an absolute fool... and Hunter tried to convince him not to do it instead of flat out forcing him... It was the dumbest thing I had ever seen in the entirety of my existence... but it was so... intriguing. So... I decided to have a little fun at first... I figured that I could make something spectacular happen with you lot... So I put that idea to destroy the Time Piece in Mewtwo's little head... and wouldn't you know? It worked splendidly."'']]

** A good example being Eevee's character, who starts with black words on a red background, but after being reincarnated as a purer version of [[spoiler:The Umpire, their original incarnation]], their color changes to green.
