* HumanFocusedAdaptation: Inverted. The original show featured a mix of human and alien characters, but primarily focused on the human Tommy Cadle and his interactions with the aliens and other humans in his life. Meanwhile, ''Puzzlepalooza'' focuses exclusively on the aliens to the point where Tommy is DemotedToExtra and none of the other human characters show up at all.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: In the Marathon mode, most levels have strict time limits that frequently give you ''just'' enough time to get through. The exception to this are the five boss levels, which have an extremely generous ten minute time limit; this is likely because several of the bosses are very tricky to deal with as-is and can instantly kill your alien.



* BullfightBoss: One boss is a giant robotic ant that repeatedly charges forward. Dinko has to use his SuperSpeed to trick it into running into one of the electric barriers around the arena.

!!Tropes
* AWinnerIsYou: Beating the Adventure mode results in a short cutscene of Dinko congratulating the player for rescuing Tommy, before Tommy and the aliens escape in their go-getter. Cue credits. The credits also play once you complete Marathon mode.
* BlockPuzzle: Swanky can push and pull crates, and often has to move them to block hazards or keep switches activated.
* DemotedToExtra: Tommy Cadle, the main protagonist of the show, is demoted to a few minor, voiceless cameoes in the opening cutscene, credits and Marathon menu.
* KillerRobot: The Robotix are robot animals who kidnap species from different planets to use for their intergalactic zoo.
* MightyGlacier: Gumpers is the only alien capable of smashing boxes and walls. However, he's also the biggest and slowest of the group, meaning he can't fit into small spaces. Multiple puzzles are built around using the other aliens to open up a route for him.
* NotQuiteFlight: Flip can temporarily fly over obstacles like mines or switches.
* OneHitKill: Touching hazardous objects (such as robots, lasers, or mines) instantly kills your alien and boots you back to the start of the level.
* OverlyLongTongue: Scruffy can use his long tongue to collect items and touch switches from far away.
* PuzzleBoss: Being a puzzle game, none of the bosses can be defeated by merely attacking them. All of the bosses require your alien to use the nearby switches strategically to make them vulnerable.
* SuperSpeed: By charging up, Dinko can briefly run fast enough to outrun treadmills.
* SuperStrength: Gumpers can smash glass boxes and breakable walls the other aliens can't.
* TeamworkPuzzleGame: The game requires you to switch between Dinko, Gumpers, Swanky, Flip, and Scruffy to solve puzzles, all of whom have their own unique abilities and attributes.
* TimedMission: The unlockable Marathon mode has you go through the Adventure mode again, only now every level has a time limit you have to beat in order to move on to the next level.
* TheVoiceless: None of the aliens vocalize in-game. They speak in cutscenes, but have no voice acting.
