* AttackAttackAttack: Enemy AI is very basic - most foes will simply rush Nigel and attack.
* AutoRevive: Eke-eke herbs are available from the start of the game and for cheap.  Though they are also normal healing items (healing at least half of Nigel's HP), if Nigel gets knocked out Friday will appear and use one to revive him.
* BalefulPolymorph: Once you acquire the Einstein Whistle, you can learn that two dogs named Marty and Bell are actually people under the curse of a WickedWitch.  The only way to break the curse?  Kill the witch somehow.  It gets a little more complicated when the witch decides to turn Nigel into a dog, too.
* BossBattle: Mostly of the WolfpackBoss or EliteMook variety.  Curiously, only a few of them actually have boss-battle music to punctuate the encounter.
* BottomlessPits: Averted - pits that look bottomless won't kill you, they'll just drop you down in the room below.  Which usually has spikes to land on, and it's a little trip to get back up to where you fell from.
* BrokenBridge: Early in the game, warriors from Gumi smashed the bridge connecting the road from Massan.  There are plenty of other (non literal) examples blocking passage to the next town.
* CraniumRide: For fun and profit. It's needed to solve some puzzles, too.

* HostageForMacGuffin: How Kayla snatches an artifact from Nigel.
* InterchangeableAntimatterKeys: Although you can't mix-and-match them between dungeons (not that you'd get many opportunities to anyway). Seem familiar?
* IsometricProjection: One of the big features that set this game apart from other action-adventure games of the time. ...however, the lack of shadows made this problematic for jumping sequences. Not to mention the rather, shall we say, rudimentary control system; the Genesis controller had no diagonal inputs, so to move northwest, the player has to hit both "left" and "up" (as a consolation, hitting one direction by itself will subsequently move Nigel in that diagonal direction, and Nigel has a minor ability to automatically navigate corners). This is particularly annoying on emulators, if you're playing on keyboard (it's not an issue if you have a gamepad or analog joystick to make the diagonals easier).
** Admittedly, the case of lack of shadows is part of what gives the game its distinct difficulty. Judging ''precisely'' where you are, your enemies are, and whether or not that platform in front of you is...well...actually in front of you. This was really the only argument some fans had against the lost remake's addition of a rotatable camera as well as a number of the puzzles relied on what you ''couldn't'' see.
* ItemFarming: Just a few dungeons have Eke-eke herbs simply laying on the floor for you to pick up; they respawn when you leave the room, allowing you to pick them up all over again.
