7!!This game provides examples of:
8* BottomlessPit: There's a pit below every course and falling down results in death.
9* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Dying makes you restart the level, but each level's only 10 seconds long.
10* InterfaceSpoiler: The costume menu and some icons at the bottom spoil the fact that ''Returns'' actually has 100 courses.
11* InvincibleMinorMinion: No enemy can be killed, forcing you to outmaneuver them in most cases.
12* LevelGoal: A yellow/blue portal is at the end of each level.
13* NoPlotNoProblem: No plot is provided anywhere in the game or trailers.
14* OneHitPointWonder: The player character can only take one hit from enemies/obstacles before dying.
15* TemporaryPlatform: Some square platforms crumble as soon as you step on them.
16* TimedMission: As the title implies, you have to beat each level within 10 seconds.
