* ColorCodedMultiplayer: Each character has a color primarily associated with them, which is used all over the game: Ratchet is orange, Clank is blue, Qwark is green, and Nefarious is purple. For starters, the HUD elements, including the health bar, ammo, and bolt count, are framed by the character's color, and their slots in the Quick Select are filled with the color as well. Each character's Vac-U is also their color, and their exclusive weapons share their colors as well. Other uses include bolts that are collected by a player having an aura of their color surrounding them, ammo pads showing a character's color surrounding the icon if they can collect ammo from that pad, enemies showing a colored reticle around them corresponding to who's attacking them, the HollerButton making a character flash their color, the sprint making a character emit a trail of their color, activation pads for things such as the Cluster Cannon that require all the players to each use one pad turning the color of the players who are actively waiting, and the post-level score recaps having each character's column on the chart in their color.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: CombinationAttack: The Co-Op Overload is a technique that you can use; when multiple players lock on to the same enemy and use the same weapon, they begin to use the weapons faster, and a white circle appears around the lock on reticle that gets larger and turns red the more that your squad attacks the enemy. Once the attack's gone on long enough, the game dramatically slows down as an explosion occurs, usually affecting enemies in a radius around the one targeted. Depending on the weapon, different effects occur; the Combuster causes an explosion, the Critter Strike causes a shockwave that can morph other enemies, and the RYNO VI causes the users to produce a screen-clearing SmartBomb.
