** Played with with Mia, who is American but uses her SurprisinglyGoodEnglish ''like'' Gratuitous English in the sense that she speaks primarily in Japanese but throws in random phrases and "[[PrecisionFStrike shit]]" in there for flavor, the only difference being that it is properly accented and contextually accurate.

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: During the Wondrous Winter Encounters event, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/love-live-all-stars/images/a/a9/%2AGiggle%2A_Good_Night.png/revision/latest?cb=20230118151015 you could unlock a card that showed Mari laying a rabbit on its back.]] In real life, this is a terrible idea, as doing this puts rabbits into a state called "Tonic Immobility" which makes them unable to move. This fills them with fear, and could cause stress related heart problems.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Mia's swearing is very slightly toned down to PG-level swears in the English version (although the audio is still intact).

An anime that focuses on the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club in an AlternateContinuity and is ([[AdaptationDeviation very loosely]]) [[TheAnimeOfTheGame based on the story of]] ''ALL STARS'' premiered in October 2020 as (appropriately) ''Anime/LoveLiveNijigasakiHighSchoolIdolClub''.

* RealPlaceBackground: The [=VenusFort=] mall courtyard, with the colored shop banners, is seen during the Anime Concurrent Story Chapter "For Her!" and the 2021 event "Sharing My Feelings on White Day". During the latter, it was an unlockable main menu background as "Game Event Space".

** {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Some Nijigaku subunit songs (like "Kakushiaji" by A•ZU•NA) and Liella!'s songs from ''Superstar!!'', were made playable in the regular Live Show mode before getting removed months or weeks later. Fewer of these songs, including "Kakushiaji", got readded to the Live Show mode for a while or were also in Dream Live Parade. Other subunit songs like "Make-up Session ABC" have slowly been readded to Live Show throughout 2022.

** If you fail a song, the game only takes away half the LP required to play it as opposed to the full cost. In addition, you can toggle an option called Continuous Show Mode, which allows you to continue playing until the end of the Live if you fail out. Also, failing an uncleared song but attained certain points for Achievement Rewards will reward you gems accordingly as if you've cleared the song without needing to retry again.

''Love Live! School idol festival ALL STARS'' is a mobile RhythmGame {{RPG}} in the ''Franchise/LoveLive'' franchise, and is the fourth game to join the lineup after ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival'', ''Love Live! School idol paradise'', and ''VideoGame/PuchiguruLoveLive''. ''School idol festival All Stars'' was originally developed and published by [=KLab=] in partnership with Creator/{{Sunrise}} and is currently developed by [=MyNet Games=] and published by {{Creator/Bushiroad}}. The game was released in Japan on September 26, 2019, while the Global version was released on February 25, 2020 and reached parity with the Japanese version on July 30, 2021. A Chinese version of the game released on May 28th, 2021, [[https://youtu.be/V4EwPGHRklU complete with a skyscraper light show.]]

Also, failing an uncleared song allows you to obtain gems as if you've cleared the song.

** Recent updates allow the players to clear the song they're in when the update suddenly dropped in the middle of play, and receive rewards at the result screen before sending them back to the title screen safely to apply the update. Previously, the game would not load to the result screen when the update drops in the middle of play and players will have to resume the song from the scratch after applying an update.

In September 2022, a sequel, titled ''Love Live! School idol festival 2: MIRACLE LIVE!'', was announced, and will focus on all four of the current idol groups, including Liella from ''Anime/LoveLiveSuperstar''.

** A lot of the 4th album solos are themed around giving the girls different styles of songs from their previous solos.

** Lanzhu takes this UpToEleven, with pretty much every single character in the game playing her up as being the best school idol to ever exist and all of the Nijigasaki girls aspiring to be as good as she is. This is in spite of her [[AlphaBitch incredibly toxic personality]] and the fact that the audience almost never sees her performances in action save for her solo song.

** Some of the more difficult Advanced songs will almost absolutely require you to run a Cleanse somewhere on your team (usually Angel Riko, but sometimes Fresh Fruits Nico if Riko is unavailable) to S Rank without having massive stats due to the monumental penalties that some songs have, like Snow Halation's 15% Appeal Down. Don't have a Cleanse card? You could be stuck rerolling your Guest List for Riko assists. A few post-release songs have included Cleanse-proof gimmicks as a result (thereby making them [[DifficultySpike much harder]]).

** Some items that can only be obtained from limited events such as Backgrounds [[spoiler: and Shioriko's first summer outfit]] may become unobtainable if the player didn't earn enough points at the end of the event period.

** Eventually {{subverted|Trope}} for the character-specific {{Insert Song}}s from the Nijigasaki anime's first season. Playable for a limited time in 2020-21 but their temporariness was subverted; they were readded for good on April 30, 2022.
** Averted for the songs from the anime's second season, which have no listed end date in update announcements; they also have reward goals and player titles.

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''ALL STARS'' has some visual and conceptual similarities to ''School idol paradise'', a µ's-oriented ''Love Live!'' RhythmGame for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita that was just a ''little'' half-baked and not quite fully-realized.

** Eventually {{subverted|Trope}} for the character-specific {{Insert Song}}s from the Nijigasaki anime's first season. Originally playable for a limited time in 2020-21, they were readded temporarily on April 30, 2022.

** Beginner Live Songs consume 10 LP for fewer rewards, however it is useful for obtaining Gold Titles for ''each'' member, sub-unit and group that require ''5,000 plays without using skip tickets'' or [[LevelUpFillUp conserving your Exp]] for the next Event.
*** With the introduction of Expert and Challenge difficulties, any Advanced songs can be used to farm macarons, regular memories and Gold Titles as all Advanced songs have the same rewards. All can be done easier with an...
** Autoplay, a feature that allows to play the song on its own without player's input saved for activating SPs and switching teams. Some players choose to use Autoplay as it greatly ''outperforms'' their manual plays and allows activating SP Skills easier.

* JigglePhysics: Although extremely subdued, it's possible to notice with certain animations or outfits. Even ''Rina'' who was the flattest of all the members tends to jiggle quite a bit. The most obvious instance is in Karin's solo song "Starlight", which [[MaleGaze exploits this at one point.]] However enabling the Graphic Boost Mode may cause its breast physics to [[{{Gainaxing}} speed up unrealistically]].

Like other idol-themed rhythm games, players collect scores of vibrantly-designed, extravagant cards depicting idols from across the '' Love Live!'' franchise, forming them into teams to challenge songs. ''Unlike'' other games, ''ALL STARS'' takes a decidedly more {{RPG}}-influenced approach; in addition to standard mechanics such as unique, personalized Skills for each card and a level growth mechanic, ''ALL STARS'' features a SkillTree through which you can customize your idols further, as well as a unique Strategy system where you can swap between trios of characters in real time to augment gameplay.

** R cards are basically useless, but their SkillTree still gives Star Gems for unlocking enough nodes, and they're by far the easiest rarity tier to max out. Dump enough materials into them and you can have a large hoard of extra Star Gems at your beck and call. They are also useful for Dream Live Parade as early-game dead weight you can throw at the event, since the format restricts how many times a card can be used in sequence.

* RandomDrop: Some items used to unlock nodes in the SkillTree such as macarons and character memories are dropped when clearing Lives. The game even shows the drops for each song in Free Live mode.

* SkillTree: Characters now have skill trees that can be used to unlock stats. Nodes on the tree are unlocked by spending materials, granting a variety of benefits such as enhancing stats, upgrading the card, and unlocking voice lines, passive skills, and [[AndYourRewardIsClothes new outfits.]]

* DifficultButAwesome: Having your Formation team's Insight Skills only consisting of passive skill activations.

** QU4RTZ's single "ENJOY IT!" is a cheerful, uplifting song, however in Advanced difficulty this song is notorious for its ''high stamina damage'', particularly should you fail two Appeal Chances that require maintaining 80% and ''90%'' of your Stamina respectively.
