* LargeAndInCharge: Funfrock clearly somewhat taller than the average quetch, and twice as wide.

* ShoutOut: FunFrock's teleportation center is located on [[{{Film/TheFly1986}} Brundle Island]].

%%* HijackedByGanon

** CX Island in the second one. Asking about it is enough to draw the attention of the guards.

** Another LBA 2 example is the storage building when Twinsen has to pick up his rocket-pack. There's a puzzle in the storage area that will allow for Twinsen to get enough money to pay the storage-worker to send the box with his rocket-pack up to the delivery room. However, the puzzle doesn't need to be done if Twinsen already has enough money to pay the worker.

* BabiesEverAfter: Twinsen and Zoe's baby is born at the end of the second game.

** The blowgun overall goes through an odd power-level discrepancy throughout the game. From the earliest moment you can receive the blowgun, it acts as an overall upgrade before completing the School of Magic objective due to shooting level-2 Green pellets even though you'd still be fighting with a level-1 Yellow Magicball during this time. After getting level-2 Green Magicball for completing the school, the two weapons remain on even terms until you get Sendall's Ball which will level up your Magicball to Red level-3. Your blowgun however, remains at Green level-2; meaning that you'll be using the red Magicball for almost all encounters until the Mosquebee test far into the game finally upgrades your blowgun to start shooting level-3 Red pellets. The power is now finally on even terms again until the Dark Monk statue stage mentioned above.

* TheGreys: The Esmers are loosely designed after them.

%%* LighterAndSofter: The sequel to the original.
* LoadingScreen: In the sequel, it shows Twinsen and Zoe standing on a CD.

%%* StarterVillain: The Tralu.

* OnlyIdiotsMayPass: A subversion and quite possibly a case of TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything as an answer to why The ''Island of the Volcano'' is completely optional. If you already know where the Mosquebee queen is being held, the game doesn't force you to go learn the location before actually having to find the captured queen.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything:

* AerithAndBob

* BigBad: [=FunFrock=]. [[spoiler:Yes, in ''both'' games.]]

* CameraCentering: Pressing the ''ENTER'' key will center the camera on Twinsen. The game-video does not stay on Twinsen when you move about in the environment. Walking off the screen is the lone exception in regards to the camera resetting itself.
** The sequel takes this further for the new 3D exterior environment. Pressing ''ENTER'' will center the camera in the direction Twinsen is facing.

* {{Cutscene}}

* FixedCamera: Both games will sometimes force the player into a fixed camera shot to make certain areas/puzzles easier to maneuver.
** This is extremely apparent in the sequel game where sometimes the camera will be put ABOVE the player in the 3D exterior environment. Something you wouldn't be able to accomplish by setting the camera with the ''ENTER'' key.

* LifeMeter / ManaMeter

* MagicKnight: Twinsen, sort of.
* {{Magitek}}

* SpritePolygonMix

* WidgetSeries

* AGodAmI: Funfrock.

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: [=FunFrock=] ]] has elements of this in the second game: "Soon, I will be a god in form, as well as name!"

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead: justified by [=FunFrock's=] development of cloning technology.]]

* BagOfSpilling: Twinsen doesn't have any of the items he collects throughout the first game. We can see the artifacts that brought new magic levels in the museum in Citadel Island. The question is why Twinsen does not take those with his tunic and medal.

* BonusBoss: Part of the BonusDungeon and LostForever examples, the optional Protection-Spell cave ends with a unique boss seen no where else in the game.
* BonusDungeon: Connected to the LostForever trope mentioned below, the island cave you get the Protection Spell from pretty much ''is'' this.
** Strangely, the ''Island of the Volcano'' in the Zeelich Undergas can also be considered this, because you're not forced to go to this island to follow the main storyline. The story only points you to head here to learn the location of the captured Mosquebee queen from a few Mosquebee civilians hiding out in a cave here. The thing is, if you already know where the queen is, then there's no reason to learn the location, because it's possible to find the queen without even having to talk to them. This is extremely apparent if you are going through a second playthrough of the game.

* [[spoiler:CloningGambit:]] [[spoiler:Implied to be how [=FunFrock=] is still alive.]]

* [[spoiler:HijackedByGanon]]

* LighterAndSofter: The sequel to the original.

* LostForever: The Protection Spell in the second game, if you don't pick it up before the trip to the Emerald Moon. Thankfully, it's not required to complete the game.
* MinigameZone: Zeelichian bar and casino.

* StarterVillain: The Tralu.

* TakeYourTime: A conjunction of this and YouCantThwartStageOne means that the villain's plot to send the Emerald Moon crashing into Twinsun will never happen, no matter how long you spend faffing about with the car on the second island or the casinos on Zeelich, or [[SidetrackedByTheGoldenSaucer whatever catches your attention]]. But once you reach and defeat him, he just needs to pull a lever with his dying breath to set it in motion. And after that, the impending apocalypse will never happen unless you get killed.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Twinsen is going to take [[spoiler:[=FunFrock=]]] out...but not for pizza.

'''''Little Big Adventure''''', known outside Europe as ''Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure'', is a 1994 PC game (later ported to the [=PlayStation=]) created by Adeline Software International.

* SidetrackBonus: You don't ''need'' to go look for clover boxes, but having extra lives is handy. The second game has optional Protection-Spell cave that you can skip entirely.

* SequenceBreaking: The player can pull this off in both games using the penguin bombs.

** It's obvious that the path LBA 2 wants you to follow after grabbing the Mosquebee Key Fragment is to go to the ''Island of the Volcano'' to learn the location of the bee's captured Queen, and then head over to the ''Island of the Wannies'' to free her. However, the game doesn't force you into doing the ''Island of the Volcano'' step.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the sequel, sidestepping forward while facing a cow's rear gives you a [[EasterEgg free clover]].

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Don't want to go to the ''Island of the Volcano'' despite the island having a clover box? That's ok. There's a spare that can be found on Island CX that only appears if the ''Island of the Volcano'' clover box wasn't picked up beforehand.

** The Emperor of Zeelich is NapoleonBonaparte with the SerialNumbersFiledOff.
