* CerberusSyndrome: Season 1 had no story to it, it was just a light hearted competition. Season 2 had the players looking for the host’s swords that they lost, only for the hosts to turn on them and try to prevent them from getting the prizes for beating the final battle, even by rigging the game, but this plotline only starts at the end. Season 3 kicks it up a notch with a robot invasion at the opening concert, one of the hosts going missing, and the final battle has you fight against a villain seemingly trying to kill you just because the hosts rigged the last season. 
* ElementalWeapon: The host’s swords serve as this, being colour coded to indicate who’s is who’s. They can be used in the Season 2 final battle as power-ups. 
** DJ’s Sword of Agility: Gives the player super speed. 
** Russo’s Sword of Truth: Reveals any hidden secrets within a certain radius from the player. 
** Sabrina’s Sword of Healing: Slowly heals the player when they have taken damage.

[[folder: Tropes found in the game, challenges in other games, and the tie-in story:]]
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The rewards you can get from completing objectives in the event are clothing items you can wear on your avatar. This applies to all seasons. 
* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** Tower of Hell (Season 3): Time will not accelerate if a person manages to get all 3 halos up the exit, unlike in the original. Which is a good thing, because the game is already Nintendo Hard, and time accelerating will lead to a lot of frustration considering how big it is compared to the original area. 
** Because of the massive length of the final battle of Season 3, you can opt to go straight to a checkpoint if you quit-out at any moment. This is a massive life-saver in the event you encounter a Game-Breaking Bug.
* BigBad: In the Season 3 event, [[spoiler:JP]]. 
* BossBonanza: In both the Season 2 and Season 3 event final battles, you have to beat the finalists from each season in one of these, playing minigames found in the base game. 
** For Season 2, it was: [=AshleyTheUnicorn=] (Dodgeball.io), Hyper (Tiles), [=TanqR=] (Cosmic Karts), and then [=KreekCraft=] (Progress Predicament). 
** For Season 3, it was [[spoiler:iBella (Lava Escape), [=KreekCraft=] and [=TanqR=] (Target Town), [=DenisDaily=] (Simulator Scrimmage) and finally [=PinkLeaf=] (Battle Crag, an original minigame for the final battle).]]
* CerberusSyndrome: Season 1 had no story to it, it was just a light hearted competition. Season 2 had the players looking for the host’s swords that they lost, only for the hosts to turn on them and try to prevent them from getting the prizes for beating the final battle, even by rigging the game, but this plotline only starts at the end. Season 3 kicks it up a notch with a robot invasion at the opening concert, one of the hosts going missing, and the final battle has you fight against a villain seemingly trying to kill you just because the hosts rigged the last season. 
* ElementalWeapon: The host’s swords serve as this, being colour coded to indicate who’s is who’s. They can be used in the Season 2 final battle as power-ups. 
** DJ’s Sword of Agility: Gives the player super speed. 
** Russo’s Sword of Truth: Reveals any hidden secrets within a certain radius from the player. 
** Sabrina’s Sword of Healing: Slowly heals the player when they have taken damage. 
* HopelessBossFight: You cannot win against Hyper in the Season 2 final battle, as the hosts give him a jetpack in a game where you’re supposed to avoid falling into lava. No matter what you do, you have to lose in order to progress to the Battle Back against [=TanqR=], where you can actually win. 
* InstrumentOfMurder: Each host has a SignatureInstrument, which have powers of their own that the player can use in Season 3's final battle: 
** DJ’s Dynamic Dashers: A drum set that acts as a jetpack.
** Russo’s Robotic Resonators: A pair of microphones that can be used to control robots. 
** Sabrina’s Cyber Shredder: A guitar that can be used as a battle axe. 
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:The reveal of JP being Russo’s creator, explaining why he was missing throughout Season 3.]]
* NoFairCheating: Season 3’s final battle had an anti-cheat system, wherein if the game detected a player using any exploits in order to beat it, they wouldn’t be able to get the prize at the end. Additionally, everyone who was eligible for a Hood of Heroes (the reward for being one of the first 30 to beat the final battle) had their runs checked to make sure they didn’t use any exploits in order to get it. 
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle!: In the Russo's Sword of Truth quest in Build a Boat for Treasure, when the player enters the portal they opened, they end up in a room where the Sword is laying before them and a giant computer says "You win!", while party music plays. When the player approaches, the party music fades out and lights go out. Cue a boss fight with that giant computer.
