* HealItWithWater: Whenever the cactus takes damage, he can recover health by standing in a puddle of water.
* HowWeGotHere: At the end of the first level, which is set in 1984, the cactus runs into a purple-eyed donkey who decides to tell the player how the events of the game got started, starting by saying "It all started, like, a hundred years ago...", before ending the level. Level two is then stated to be set in 1914.

Added DiffLines:

* SpikeShooter: The kaktus can do this. He has it in the first level, but loses it when the game flashes back, meaning the player has to get it later.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: The cactus is referred to as a '''k'''a'''k'''tus, so it's probably safe to say that this trope applies.
