* AnachronismStew: In a game that appears to be otherwise set in the equivalent of the 14th-or-15th century, Eric's and Leah's Golden Guns are ''fully automatic'' weapons which more closely resemble revolvers from the mid-to-late 19th century at earliest. Then again, they're explicitly said to be "[[{{Magitech}} magic]]" so it's not ''completely'' unbelievable to say "AWizardDidIt".

* KingMook: Several minibosses are stronger versions of ordinary enemies, for example skeletons, crabs, piranhas and statues. Even the [[EliteMooks Reapers]] have a miniboss leading them.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: The boss at the Giant Great Whirlpool stage is the Kraken.



* WarmUpBoss: The bosses of the first stage, the Stormy Sea, are two enemy warships. Unlike every other boss, who has [[AttackItsWeakPoint several targets that have to be broken to interrupt their attacks]], these ships are vulnerable everywhere, a single strike from the cannons may cut a lot of their health instantly, and their only attack is cannonballs that can easily be shot down. In short, with a little practice and good timing and patience, it's very easy to beat them untouched and still struggle with the other bosses.



* ZergRush: Many of skeleton enemies do this a lot. Natch for a light gun game, the player must shoot them down before they get close enough to attack.

* AntiGrinding: You can shoot the projectiles for some extra points but if you take too long by repeatedly shooting them without defeating the target, they will simply run away or in one case, directly shoot at you unless you kill them.

However, given how severely damaged it was by the Ghost Pirate fleet and the Kraken earlier in the game, it is possible that it was no longer seaworthy and was abandoned.
