** Among the ''Sister Location'' animatronics that appear in the Office levels, Lolbit, Yenndo, and Bonnet are absent. Bonnet at least still appears in the Bonk a' Bon levels, and Yenndo is the equivalent of Funtime Freddy in the hard breaker room level, but their absence from the office is noticeable. In addition, rather than having every Sister Location animatronic active at the same time, the Private Room campaigns that resemble the Custom Night are divided into multiple levels, one having Ballora, Bidybab, and Minireena, another having Funtime Freddy (with Bon-Bon) and Funtime Foxy (now joined by Funtime Chica as a new threat). The final Private Room level instead features Circus Baby, the only major animatronic who ''didn't'' appear in the Private Room in the original game, tasking the player with avoiding her [=PlushBabies=].

* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Sister Location'' proper, Ennard was far and away the most dangerous animatronic in the main game, being the TrueFinalBoss of the Fake Ending route and having appropriately aggressive AI. In this game, they're the enemy for the ''tutorial night'' for the office-style gameplay levels and has had their aggression dialed back significantly, with the other Funtimes posing much more of a challenge in subsequent nights.
* AdaptedOut:

** The FazForce action Figures bring to mind Franchise/Voltron or [[Franchise/PowerRangers the various Megazords]]

** Funtime Chica started out as a mere purchasable attraction to a random ArtShift distraction. But here, she is an actual threat who is now hunting the player in the Office level alongside her fellow Funtimes.

* CosmeticAward: Beating the minigames rewards the player with animatronic figurines that can be viewed on the Stage.

[[caption-width-right:1000:Dark secrets are lurking, and only you can unmask them...]]

** One of the items that can be served in the "Fazbear Theater" Food Prep level is a Meat Pretzel (and it's what you win from completing the level). A meat pretzel was what Gregory mentioned he worried he'd be turned into if Glamrock Freddy wasn't careful towards the beginning of ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Security Breach]]''.

* MythologyGag: At the end of "Office: Job Interview", Circus Baby rewards the player with an ice cream cone. If they are hesitant to take it, she tells them "Go on, take it." "Go on, eat it.", which is word-for-word how [=HandUnit=] encouraged the player to eat the complimentary pizza at the end of Chica's Parts and Service level in the original ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Help Wanted]]''.

* SecretLevel: [[spoiler:"Fazerblast: FNAF 3" can only be accessed by triggering a hidden scripted event in "Fazerblast: Western". The level is not necessary for the Normal Ending, but you do need to beat it if you want to get one of the six dolls to access the Secret Ending.]]

* ShoutOut: An Trophy on the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation5]] version of the Game achieved by applying all Dark Green Makeup in all of the Salon Levels is called “[[Series/TheMuppetShow It’s Not Easy]]”

** Despite the game adapting elements of ''Security Breach'', Montgomery Gator is entirely absent save for decorations in a few minigames (notably, DJ Music Time).

* CrappyCarnival: The Fazerblast levels are set in a carnival run by a new animatronic called Carnie. Failing on any level causes a game over, courtesy of Carnie himself.

* WorstAid: Let's just say the First Aid levels involve... Questionable first aid practices. One of them involves ''stabbing a pen into Helpy's throat and then smacking it with a hammer for good measure''. Good thing it's only "practice" being done on [[ButtMonkey Helpy]] rather than an actual child...

* WhackAMonster: The Bonk-A-Bon minigame plays this pretty straight.

** Molten Freddy and William Afton don't appear in minigames that adapt ''Pizzeria Simulator''. The First Aid levels that serve as a PragmaticAdaptation of the office gameplay that featured the two (as well as Scrap Baby and Lefty, who unlike the other two characters are definitely adapted in the game) instead feature Pigpatch as a roaming enemy.

** Aside from Nightmare variants that roam the sewers of the Pizzaplex, the S.T.A.F.F. Bots from ''Security Breach'' only perform non-lethal jumpscares that merely attract other animatronics to your location. In this game, regular S.T.A.F.F. Bots can kill you in a couple of levels (namely, "Salon: S.T.A.F.F. Makeover", "El Chip's", and "Fizzy Faz").

* GainaxEnding: Once you beat all of the game's challenges, you can complete the mecha action figure set, which leads to another box to appear on the stage. Opening it will lead to the game's normal ending. [[spoiler:A Pizzaplex charging station suddenly appears on the stage, which opens to reveal a hand (presumably Glitchtrap's). Then you're suddenly surrounded by a bunch of S.T.A.F.F. Bots, who slowly creep up to you. Then the game cuts to a scene from ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Security Breach: Ruin]]'', where Mask Bot gives Cassie the VANNI mask, albeit this time from the perspective of the robot instead of Cassie, heavily implying that the player character was Mask Bot the whole time.]] Roll credits.

* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:The game is actually set within the simulation created by the VANNI mask introduced in ''Ruin''. The "lotus-eater" part is that the location the mask transforms is a ruined Pizza Place, but the mask shows it in a fixed state.]]
* MemoryMatchMiniGame: "Endo Warehouse" has the player teaching the newly built Endos by flipping pairs of matching tiles.

* NoOSHACompliance: Once again, Fazbear Entertainment seem to '''''love''''' putting profits over the wellbeing of their staff. Animatronics that don't take kindly to failure, a waiver form encouraging employees to prioritise profits, difficult work environments... the list goes on. [[spoiler:It veers even '''further''' into this after the VANNI mask is taken off, showing that Fazbear Entertainment had the bright idea to integrate a whole VR experience in a ''really'' unsafe environment like the ruined Pizza Place.]]

* TimedMission: Some of the minigames are this, though they may not be obvious.
