* AnAesop:
** If you want to do the right thing, stand up for yourself and have faith in your own decisions, even if others don't always see eye-to-eye with them.
** More directly, [[ScrewDestiny you are the only person responsible for your own fate]].

** If you "pop 'er in reverse" and back further into the wormhole at Burt's suggestion, [[spoiler:the hull breaches and everyone dies. Burt may be a great engineer, but he's no wormhole expert]].

* DownerEnding: Part one ends with [[spoiler: you failing to shut down the warp drive in all of Act 2's main endings, causing a massive time paradox that destroys the universe.]] [[spoiler:However, TheStinger reveals [[RayOfHopeEnding someone is rebooting the universe]], which will complete [[SequelHook on May 2, 2022]].]]

** If you take the route where you repeatedly send Mark in to fix the spaceship's various malfunctions, you'll catch a very [[FreezeFrameBonus quick glimpse]] of [[spoiler: Ms. Whitacre]] in the hallway that leads to the main control room.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Part 2 puts you through the grinder after everything that happened in Part 1, [[MindScrew going as far as to bat you around the multiverse before you realize what is actually happening]]. Eventually, you meet up with the elderly Mark who very nearly broke the multiverse entirely in Part 1, coming to terms with his guilt over the TimeCrash and begging you to stop him from breaking everything. Should you heed his advice and stop his younger self from going back, the paradox is ultimately resolved and the multiverse is once again stable. Better yet, the entire crew of the ''Invincible''[[note]]the screen in your cryo chamber indicates that you are on the original ''Invincible'' instead of the ''Invincible II''[[/note]] have survived their journey, your colonization efforts succeed, and you make amends with Mark as you look over your new home planet.]]

** The theme cue of the series matches the first nine notes of the chorus of [[Music/TheGregoryBrothers The Gregory Brothers]]' "Space is Cool", a song about Mark's love for space.

* StableTimeLoop: Of the "bootstrap paradox" variety. The beginning of Part 1 has Mark mention that he didn't ''build'' the Warp Core, rather he just found it one day and decided to use it. The mid-point of Part 1 then sees the crystal powering the Warp Core embed itself into the Captain's hand. [[spoiler:The climax of Part 2 reveals that Mark ''did'' build the Warp Core, but in the ''future'', having thought he ''re''built it when he couldn't find it and thought the Captain destroyed it, taking the crystal from the Captain to power it. If you choose to let go of Mark at the final choice, the Warp Core, the crystal included, proceeds to vanish, being sent back into the past where Past!Mark can find it. As such, there is no "origin" for the idea of the Warp Core nor the physical crystal itself, the latter showing no signs of entropy. If you choose not to let go of Mark, the Warp Core is never sent back, meaning his past self can never find it, and the RealityBreakingParadox never occurs, fixing the timeline and erasing the Warp Core from existence. The crystal however ''does'' continue to exist somehow, being found by Darkiplier, with the hyperlink for ''WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier'' all but suggesting the crystal would become one of the crystals adorning the box Mark E. Plier and his partner try to steal, creating ''another'' paradox since that crystal would never be apart of the box were it not for undoing the original paradox, but Mark E. Plier already having been arrested for committing that very same heist in one of the routes in Part 2.]] [[MindScrew Headache yet?]]

* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:If you let Mark go back in time at the end of ''Part 2'', you will end up right back at the start of ''Part 1'', revealing that Mark's attempt to go back in time to fix the warp drive and stop the paradox is what ''created'' the paradox in the first place. It's left unclear how the paradox could have occurred the first time.]]

* AsteroidThicket: An early crisis is the Asteroid Defense System going down in the middle of a meteor storm.

** Whenever someone starts counting down from five, they are immediately interrupted.

** Taken UpToEleven in Part 2, which [[spoiler: due to the rapidly destabilizing multiverse]] has you constantly jumping to different genres between, or sometimes even in the middle of scenes.
* GilliganCut: You are able to jump back into the wormhole with Mark a handful of times. Each time, Mark boasts that they're sure to find the warp core. Cut to the Captain and Mark in some kind of calamity

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: [[spoiler:The Celci ending is a NonStandardGameOver, the only one that doesn't result in Universal Collapse, and also the only one that doesn't have credits. Instead, the it spends 9 minutes inside the cryo pod before Illinois finds it and promptly closes it again.]]

** Some controls on on the ship's bridge change depending on the route while the Captain isn't looking. For example, a steering wheel gets added when the Captain decides to [[spoiler:reverse into the wormhole and see if it'll get unstuck]].
