12	!!''Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Quest'' contains examples of:
13
14	* AnotherSideAnotherStory: ''Belle's Quest'' is a loose retelling of the movie's story with the focus on Belle, while ''Roar of the Beast'' retells the story from the Beast's POV.
15	* AutoScrollingLevel: The last stage involves Belle riding on the horse Philippe, as the screen automatically scrolls from left to right.
16	* BottomlessPits: The snowed forest section has many ravines the player has to jump over, and the section is an AutoScrollingLevel.
17	* DistaffCounterpart: To ''Roar of the Beast''.
18	* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Belle's quest isn't easy. Everything living can hurt you, even the otherwise cute birds. The "Be Our Guest" minigame is about her ''avoiding'' being hit by the kitchenware.
19	* FlowerMotifs: In the second stage, white and red roses serve as signs to indicate the right path. Talking with one of the villagers in stage one gives the player the right way to traverse the forest by following the roses.
20	* TheHedgeOfThorns: In stage 2, the dark forest, some stationary thorny bushes of a gray colour appear as obstacles Belle has to avoid. If Belle approaches the bush, it springs a large branch aiming to hurt the player.
21	* HitPoints: Belle's energy meter is measured by blue books, which decreases by one each time she gets hit.
22	* LockedDoor: In stage 3, the player has to fetch keys to open doors at the Beast's Castle in order to advance.
23	* TheLostWoods: The Forest is Stage 2, which doubles as a maze that Belle has to navigate through.
24	* TheMaze: Stage 2 is the Forest Maze, which Belle has to navigate. She has to follow the colored flowers to take correct pathways.
25	* MiniGame: Belle dances with Beast in the castle's ballroom. The player is awarded points if they spin the couple around and collect falling rose petals.
26	* MoodWhiplash: Stage 1 is set in her idyllic, if boring, home village and the nearby forest, with clear skies and next to no enemies, save some little birds, where the main action is to talk to the villagers and Gaston to advance the story. Come stage 2, the game changes mood ''harshly'': Belle has to traverse a dark forest with many dangers, then goes into Beast's west wing with some platform sections and more enemies, and finally she and Philippe, her horse, have to jump over forest ravines in an autoscrolling section.
27	* NonActionProtagonist: Belle can only walk, duck and jump to avoid dangers.
28	* SuperDrowningSkills: Belle doesn't drown, but tumbling into the river costs a life.
