History YMMV / ABoyAndHisBlob

* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler:The Emperor]] can be this. [[spoiler:It isn't as bad as in the NES original, but]] all the player has to do is drop a rock on their head. Once. It's [[PuzzleBoss a lot harder than it sounds]], but still fairly easy.

* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler: The Emperor of Blobolonia.]] All the player has to do is throw an apple jellybean at the Blob in order to [[spoiler: knock down a jar of vitamins, which instantly kill the Emperor. He doesn't even attack the duo.]]

** Most challenge levels involving the Cola Bubble or the Root Beer Rocket tend to be this (except for the final rocket level, which is surprisingly long and brutal.) [[spoiler: The penultimate challenge level is also pretty easy too, consisting of more rampaging with Blob's mech form.]]

** [=WayForward=] has had a history of this, with their previous game VideoGame/{{Shantae}}.

* UncannyValley: Blob manages to look cute no matter what form he takes, until he copies the Boy's appearance with his Mint Double form and ends up looking kind of unsettling.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=top4-XlTdJA title scree theme]] is lifted straight from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgncJgSbbck "Raiders March"]] of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: "Hey!" "Blob! "This way!"

* GoodBadBugs: The infamous coconut trick which allows to remove lots of enemies. There is even a glitch where you can get a glimpse of a final boss and remove all the enemies that way.

* EarWorm: That theme which plays throughout the majority of the game.

** The birds that steal your jellybeans when you try to throw them. It's oh-so-satisfying whenever the game gives the player a chance to trick them into flying into a blob mine and blow themselves up.

* ThatOneBoss: The Beast at the end of World 2. It's a pain in the patookie for two main reasons: 1) The Beast is fast, agile, and adroit. The Boy is not. 2) No matter what he gets attacked with, the Boy dies in one hit, and if he does, then you have to start the whole fight over again ''from scratch.'' And you can't quit mid-fight and pick up there, either--if you want to stop, you have to go through the ''whole level'' over again. In an article for Gamasutra, the developers ''themselves'' admitted that they [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't think this boss through enough. Oops.]]

* MostWonderfulSound: "Lock and load!"

** If you have them, you could easily take them out with either an Apple Jack or a Cotton Candy Copy.

** It is possible to glitch the boss out and make the fight unwinnable by removing a spike ball. Normally they regenerate if they do not hit the boss, but when this troper played the level, he got all of the spike balls to disappear and the boss was still alive. He waited at each spawn point to confirm it.
