* MookMaker: There are two enemies that do this. One will actually create enemy blocks in Puzzle Mode, then turn itself into a block, and push the puzzle upwards so the enemy blocks can escape more easily. Another enemy spits bubbles containing tiny enemies that are difficult to hit, and when you kill it, it's own enemy block will create enemy blocks in the puzzle.

Added DiffLines:

* HardModePerks: In Gentlemen Mode, the puzzle meter drains much faster and the puzzle itself raises much quicker, which potentially makes enemy blocks appear more easier. This would be a total disadvantage, but considering you can easily build puzzle meter energy back through a very quick and easy melee combo on an enemy, you can chain together combos much faster and build up the Super Meter really fast. Which means easier use of special weapons and potentially ''even more'' [[SuperMode Tea]] [[InvincibilityPowerUp Time]].

Added DiffLines:

* HeartsAreHealth: Your LifeMeter is measured by these and in two seperate types. Silver Hearts make Hatsworth younger, but if he loses his silver hearts and falls into the red hearts, Hatsworth loses his youth and turns back into his normal, older form. Hatsworth also loses a good chunk of his Super Meter. Filling the Super Meter back to the yellow restores Hatsworth's youth and puts the Silver Hearts back into the life meter.
* HeartContainer: You can buy these in the shop. Extra Red hearts extend the standard life meter, while Extra Silver Hearts let Hatsworth stay younger longer.

* DoubleUnlock: In order to use any item (up to and including 1-ups), you have to collect the item on the top screen which then turns into a block on the bottom, then match-three that same block in the Puzzle Realm when you want to activate it. [[TropesAreNotBad It's not as annoying as most examples of this trope though]], because the second step in the double-unlock is rather easy.

** This game felt a bit like a homage to [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]] and WesternAnimation/DuckTales with original "human" (cartoonish) characters in place of the Ducks. Henry Hatsworth is a rich elderly adventurer with more skill than men a third his age who goes around the world searching for valuable treasures, much like Scrooge (the only difference being that he's British). The main antagonist (until the "twist" comes along) is Weasleby, a foppish and arrogant dandy with glasses who probably inherited all his money, much like Scrooge villain John D. Rockerduck (also known as Robax). It's interesting that Scrooge always wears a top hat and Rockerduck a bowler hat, while for Hatsworth and Weasleby their headgear is reversed. Surely coincidence, but there's a similarity there.

I'd wanted to fix a wick for a split trope (Stop Helping Me), but the inversion of that didn't quite fit as an inversion of either Unwanted Assistance or Annoying Video Game Helper. It did fit a trope I'd just fixed a wick for, though...

Added DiffLines:

* HelpfulMook: At times: a number of enemies have abilities that cause the puzzle screen to fill with blocks. The idea is to push enemies to the top, and put Hatsworth in danger. The bonus? If there aren't any other enemies, they'll fill the screen with perfectly harmless blocks, which the player can then use to fill his super-meter bizarrely fast. It's really more like "Continue Harming Me" than "Stop Helping Me".

The protagonist, Henry Hatsworth, #1 member of the Pompous Adventurer's Club, is on a mission to obtain the legendary Golden Suit created by the Gentleman, who could control the Puzzle Realm with it in order to obtain that world's treasure. He discovers the first piece, the Golden Hat, resulting in the re-opening of the Puzzle Realm. With the aid of his assistant, Cole, he must travel all over the world in order to collect every piece of the suit and seal the Puzzle Realm once and for all. However, he's not the only one seeking the pieces; his ArchEnemy, Leopold Charles Anthony Weasleby the Third, has the same goal. [[NintendoHard And he won't let Hatsworth succeed so easily...]]
