* NightmareFuel:
** '''[[EldritchAbomination Queen.]]''' '''[[{{Yandere}} Vanessa.]]''' It's bad enough that [[NothingIsScarier you can hear her roaming the halls]], calling for you, but whenever she enters the same room you're hiding in, the room darkens and... [[OhCrap man, OH MAN.]] You can see what we mean [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfGc6dHFY8A at 1:45-2:09, here.]] Even more unsettling are the notes you find scattered around her room (2:56-3:24); particularly, the one where she mentions being [[spoiler: jealous that [[{{Yandere}} her "Prince" loved bacon more than her and banned it.]] Or how she wished she could keep him locked in the basement]], and the one where she says her mother [[spoiler: had "something of an accident".]]
** FridgeHorror: If you have the [[{{Truesight}} Fox Mask]], you'll see traces of where someone actually ''had'' been [[spoiler: shackled to the wall in the basement]]. And the ghostly shadow Hat Girl meets (at 6:30-6:52) warns her of what'll happen if Vanessa finds her and mentions the Moon Jumper who [[spoiler: [[PostHumousCharacter ''used to'' live there]]]]. Then think back to those notes you found earlier and put the pieces together....

* ThatOneSidequest: In the earliest Alpha builds, the "Balloon Race in Mafia Town" mission was notoriously difficult. On paper, it sounds simple enough: Race a Mafia guy in his balloon while you're on a rocket, which largely just involves [[PassThroughTheRings passing through rings]] without crashing into walls. The problem? The early rocket controls were ''extremely'' finnicky, and the Mafia balloon was ''fast,'' requiring you to hit almost every one of the ''much'' smaller NitroBoost rings along the way (with said finnicky controls). The very first patch for the game made this easier almost immediately, but it still stayed quite difficult.
** As a [[GenreThrowback throwback]] to the [[ThatOneBoss Boss Races]] of ''Videogame/DiddyKongRacing'', this is a rather JustifiedTrope.

** Even more unsettling are the notes you find scattered around her room (2:56-3:24); particularly, the one where she mentions being [[spoiler: jealous that [[{{Yandere}} her "Prince" loved bacon more than her and banned it.]] And how she wished she could keep him locked in the basement]] and the one where she says her mother [[spoiler: had "something of an accident".]]
** FridgeHorror: If you have the Fox Mask, you'll see traces of where someone actually ''had'' been shackled to the wall in the basement.
