More tropes
* {{Acrofatic}}: The fat guard in the sixth level (possibly the Captain of the Guard) is an incredibly skilled swordfighter and the hardest opponent you'll face until you face Jaffar himself.
* ChekhovsGunman: The mouse seen with the princess before the start of level 8. [[spoiler:It later opens a gate for you that you get trapped behind.]]
* InterfaceScrew: One of the large potions in the ninth level (It has green vapour on the [=PC=] version) inverts the screen. You have to find a second one to correct it again.
* JumpPhysics: Pretty much averted in that jumping is portrayed very realistically, a rarity for the time, putting your agility on par with a traceur. A running start will allow you to clear a lot more distance than a standing jump (and even then you still have to hit Shift to grab the opposite ledge sometimes), and you only get enough height to climb a single storey or touch the ceiling directly above you (and dislodge the tile if it's loose).

* SequenceBreaking: It is possible with a well-timed jump to bypass the guard on the first level without ever picking up the sword (a trick exploited by speedrunners). Thankfully the game assumes you picked it up and it is available to use from the second level onwards.
