In some ways they're ''better'' than the oceans of today, what with the brightly tattooed wildlife. Of course, said oceans are still choked with trash, and it's noted that the ocean has only recovered at all because of massive amounts of time and effort, but it's easy to ignore that and conclude that the ocean is strong enough to bear '''any''' amount of pollution.

* RedFilterOfDoom: The ''Plastic Beach'' level has entirely clay-red water, implying that all the building vehicles lying around churned up the soil. It is a shocking contrast to the sapphire reefs that all previous levels have been, and fitting that it belongs to a level [[spoiler:where Mars is severely injured and the heroes fail to save someone for the first time]].

* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: The narrator describes the "cold reality" of Jupiter and Mars' destiny, although this destiny seems to mostly entail exploring the ocean they love and getting cool powerups.

It is set in a world where runaway global warming had occurred, and the humans, or "earthwalkers" as the ocean's denizens know them, no longer seem to exist, and the coastal cities were flooded a long time ago. However, much of the humanity's abandoned technology persists, and is still disruptive due to the noise it makes. The player controls a dolphin named Jupiter, who is tasked by the Elders to shut them down, with the help of her mate Mars.
