** The culmination of Piranha's [[ItMakesSenseInContext blood flood]] in the hospital is a torrent of blood surging through the hallways, eventually leading outside.
** After hijacking a 500 gallon fish-tank-on-wheels, all four fish collectively use it as a battering ram to break open the aquarium's central tank, sending a torrent of water surging through the city streets, and ultimately flowing into the bay.

** Goldfish and piranhas are freshwater fish, while flying fish and pufferfish are saltwater. The game makes no distinction between either, with all of them able to survive in any water, and in Piranha and Pufferfish's cases, blood and stomach acid.

* ButtMonkey: Poor Greg keeps running into various misfortunes at the hands of the fish. First his cleaning bucket is stolen by Goldfish. Next, Flying Fish causes him to lose his luggage. Then he gets sick after accidentally swallowing Pufferfish. But the worst has got to be during Piranha's section, where he first gets seriously injured after the fish manages to cause a car accident, which is bad enough. But to further rub salt on the wound, he is then caught and in a literal river of blood (again caused by Piranha) through the hospital. By the final level he's a nervous wreck and paranoid of every fish he sees, which is probably not helped by him being caught in the massive water flow that comes from the aquarium's destruction.

* MadeOfIron: The number of bumps and hits and moments without oxygen the fish take without getting splatted is impressive. Especially obvious when Pirahna tries to cross a highway: the danger from the cars is not getting splattered upon being run over, but the fact that the cars will knock you far away from the water-filled pot holes Pirahna needs to rest in to breathe.

* TheAntagonist: Greg is the one human antagonist in the whole game who tries to hinder the fish, but he is not evil. From his perspective, a bunch of quirky fish trying to reunite came together to make his life into a source of misery.



* CanonWelding: This game takes place in the same continuity of the other Bossa Studios games: eating the sentient bread from ''I Am Bread'' gives the four fish the intelligence and desire to escape, and the surgeon from ''Surgeon Simulator'' is a recurring obstacle in the hospital level. Some background chatter also ties the three games together with an explanation as to how the bread became sentient, why it found its way into Mr. Murton's hands, and how the (accidental) creator of the stuff is related to Nigel Burke.

* FourManBand: The protagonist fish: basic Goldfish with no particular in-game abilities but who uses it's shiny body to signal the other fish to bring them back together, Flying Fish who can glide short distances, Pufferfish who can inflate and roll, and Piranha who can bite onto objects.
