* FromZeroToHero: Lampshaded.

* ManaMeter: CR-999 has an energy meter that determines how many times he can clear garbage before he has to wait to refill it. Clearing larger garbage costs more, and cooling down magma, warming up frozen garbage, clearing toxic waste and pollution will reduce this by 5. The meter can be replenished by batteries and by leveling up or clearing 70% of an area.
* ManaPotion: Batteries can be used if CR-999 runs out of energy, which will replenish all of his energy meter instead of having to wait.
* MegaCorp: Clover who manufactured robots, and a wide variety of goods. Lamshaded:

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: [[spoiler:Pandora, a robot made with anomalous alien technology was deployed by Red Team as a garbage cleaning robot without being fully tested]]. Thanks to not being tested, [[spoiler:Red Team did not realize that she recognized ''everything on Earth'' as garbage to be disposed of until it was far too late]].

* GoneHorriblyRight: The reason why the Earth is in ruins was due to [[spoiler:Pandora. She was designed by a team backed by a warmongering corporation who used alien superweapon technology in her design in an effort to create a one-robot garbage disposal system. Unfortunately, it worked a little ''too'' well -- as she wasn't pre-tested beforehand, her programming mistakenly saw ''everything on Earth'' as garbage to be disposed of.]]

!! This game has the following tropes:

* ShoutOut:
** The premise has a rusty garbage disposal robot in a junk covered wasteland of an Earth, who eventually befriends a [[EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture sleek, shiny, and smooth]] robot [[spoiler:who also has quite the firepower]]. It's essentially the Japanese equivalent to ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.
** Mars Maiden is essentially a blue/purple version of ''VideoGame/MetalSlug's'' Mars People but with a funnel mouth.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Exaggerated, played straight and inverted all at once. [[spoiler:The reason for the AfterTheEnd scenario was due one of two rival teams of humans tasked to clean Earth's pollution. The Blue Team created mass-produced Cleaning Robots including CR-999. The Red Team created Pandora, who utilized alien superweapon tech and was sponsored by a greedy, warmongering corporation. Red Team used a virus to shut down Blue Team's robots and kill off their image and support, then deployed Pandora without conducting any tests. Unfortunately for Red Team and [[ApocalypseHow everyone else on the planet]], [[GoneHorriblyRight Pandora recognized ''everything on Earth'' as garbage and razed the world]]. In the end, what destroyed the world was [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters corporate greed and human ego]].]]

** It's revealed that [[spoiler:the reason for the AfterTheEnd scenario was due one of two rival teams of humans tasked to clean Earth's pollution.

In the end, what destroyed the world was corporate greed and human ego]].

* TragicVillain: The game's closest equivalent to an antagonist would be [[spoiler:Pandora, and even then, she really doesn't want to destroy the world, but cannot go against her flawed programming that recognizes everything on Earth as garbage]].

''The Burnable Garbage Day'' is a Japanese story-driven SimulationGame with IdleGame elements by [=GameOn=] co. Ltd. You play as CR-999, a cleaning robot that reactivates on a desolate, garbage-covered Earth. Your goal is to clear all the garbage and rebuild the cities of Earth.

* TitleDrop: "The Burnable Garbage Day" is [[spoiler:revealed to be the first day of the ApocalypseHow when Pandora began to destroy what she recognized as "burnable garbage" -- in this case, humans]].

** Thanks to the [[BlindIdiotTranslation questionable translation]] from Japanese to English, several of the city Development Quests can get ''very'' confusing on what to give the client. Usually, the hints can be found within an item's description but there's some which are rather cryptic -- Gem Town's Ikanna requests for something to help him get good sleep and work hard, and the correct answer is [[spoiler:honey flavoring]] but said item's description doesn't match this. Later on, he asks for something that could help himself or his wife feel better, and it's [[spoiler:Sake]]. Another quest has a man looking for inspiration who requests "something big, or something colourful, or something special smell", and the correct item is [[spoiler:the Rafflesia flower]] which fits all three, but the translation using "or" instead of "and" in his request can easily throw off many players.

* HundredPercentCompletion: You need to clear every spot of trash from every area, max out every single city's level, and max out every ruin's level. Doing each will [[spoiler:give you one of four pieces to craft the Pandora Part Φ needed for the GoldenEnding]]. This is still not enough, however, as [[spoiler:the final piece can only be obtained from the Vending Machine after one of the two initial endings is obtained]].

** There are [[OneSteveLimit two items called Compass]] in the English translation, which makes it very puzzling when you have a lot of the first but still cannot resolve a quest that requires the second.

* OneSteveLimit: There are ''two'' items called Compass in the English translation, one of which is the navigational instrument found from the Mountain's ruins, and the other is the drawing tool as an item produced by Stationery Town.

* HundredPercentCompletion: You need to clear every spot of trash from every area, max out every single city's level, and max out every ruin's level. Doing each will [[spoiler:give you one of four pieces needed to construct Pandora Part Φ needed for the GoldenEnding]]. This is still not enough, however, as [[spoiler:the final piece can only be obtained from the Vending Machine after one of the two initial endings is obtained]].

** Ikanna from Gem Town is another octopoid alien, although he resembles an actual octopus more than Mars Maiden. Like Mars Maiden he is also [[FunnelMouthedCephalopod funnel mouthed]].

* FunnelMouthedCephalopod: The three octopoid characters [[OctopoidAliens Mars Maiden, the Space Trading Company alien]] and [[FunnyOctopus Ikanna]] have a funnel mouth thanks to the game's rather cartoony Japanese-style design.

** Ikanna from Gem Town is either this or a sentient squid, it's not very clear. Like Mars Maiden he is also [[FunnelMouthedCephalopod funnel mouthed]].

* ShoutOut: The premise has a rusty garbage disposal robot in a junk covered wasteland of an Earth, who eventually befriends a [[EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture sleek, shiny, and smooth]] robot [[spoiler:who also has quite the firepower]]. It's essentially the Japanese equivalent to ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.

** Mars Maiden from the second town is a blue/purple octopus-like Martian with a [[FunnelMouthedCephalopod funnel mouth]] capable of spitting a silk-like substance (she doesn't have the ''tools'' to make use of the silk, and requires them in her final development quest).

* OctopoidAliens: Mars Maiden from the second town is a blue/purple octopus-like Martian with a [[FunnelMouthedCephalopod funnel mouth]] capable of spitting a silk-like substance (she doesn't have the ''tools'' to make use of the silk, and requires them in her final development quest).

* InnocentAliens: Various aliens exist in the game, but they're all friendly towards the player and help to rebuild the Earth. One of them even plays a role in helping you [[spoiler:get the GoldenEnding]].

** If you have [[HundredPercentCompletion cleared every bit of garbage, leveled every city to max, and/or leveled every ruin to max]] before getting the ending, you'll receive an odd item that appears to do nothing for each of these feats -- they do not even appear in your inventory or base as a BraggingRightsReward. In order to figure out what they do [[spoiler:you need to obtain one of the two initial endings, then go back to base in the EndgamePlus. Agent Yoon will be and explain the purpose of these items, including giving hints for a fourth item that will only start appearing in the Mysterious Vending Machine from this point onwards]].
