Include Villainy and Mook tropes
* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's never clarified in the game itself whether the various enemies of the Sweet World, Music World, Tool World, Toy World and Fairground World are villainous, working for a boss InUniverse, or just citizens of the domains going about their day who happen to try and stop Zool who crash-landed in their universe.
* HarmlessVillain: The jellies in the Sweet World are lethal, but easy to defeat in the game and don't have skills of larger threats in later levels of the game.
* HelpfulMook: These are of the Accidentally Assisting type. In the Tool World, the AnimateInanimateObject drills can actually ''benefit'' Zool, but it takes some figuring out how, while the Fairground World levels feature hammers that can be useful in certain situations, but are equally as lethal.
* HelpfulMook: These are of the Accidentally Assisting type. In the Tool World, the AnimateInanimateObject drills can actually ''benefit'' Zool, but it takes some figuring out how, while the Fairground World levels feature hammers that can be useful in certain situations, but are equally as lethal.
* IncidentalVillain: The walking drums and violins of the Music World levels are really just going about their day-to-day business and are only attacking Zool because he's an intruder in their world; they're technically, not ''evil'', and come closer to seeing him as a hostile enemy. In the Fairground World, the sentient bags of popcorn are only trying to kill Zool because, again, he's seen as an intruder in their world.
* InvincibleVillain: The violins of the Music World ricochet Zool's bullets off them and are extremely hard to kill as a video game boss, but this is [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged]] in that takes a lot of firepower to kill them off.
* LikableVillain: Some of the game's bosses, which may seem generic by a platformer game standards are pretty unusual; sentient drums and violins in the Music World, and the bags of popcorn in the Fairground World, if only due to their NonMaliciousMonster nature and comedy value.

* NonMaliciousMonster: There are quite a few:
** In the Music World, sentient drums and violins which walk around the platforms.
** In the Fruit World, sentient peas that fly across the sky which are only doing this as it's their nature to, but they're not actively working against Zool, just flying in their native dimension.
