9----
10* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: Although normally quick and loose, the PlayableEpilogue has '''gorgeous''' art.
11* GrowingTheBeard: For MSPA as a whole, the series substantially raised the bar, setting the stage for ''Homestuck'' to take things even further.
12* HilariousInHindsight:
13** "If your imagination was a face, you would punch it. In the face." This was done four years before the punchline became famous in ''WebAnimation/ASDFMovie 6''.
14** [[https://www.homestuck.com/extras/23 One of the bonus commands]] submitted by someone named John created Professor Wasp, a character who has the ability to mess with canon events with no repercussions. [[spoiler:Guess what happens to '''John''' Egbert near the endgame of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.]]
15** The Clowns were the least developed of the four kingdoms despite being associated with a major villain. In ''Homestuck'', one of the main characters is Gamzee, a clown-themed troll [[spoiler:that becomes a frequent antagonist later on.]]
16* IKnewIt:
17** See entry for SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale. [[spoiler:"Your MASS now stands multiplied by a factor of a whopping googol. [[https://www.homestuck.com/problem-sleuth/1522 Your MASS exceeds that of the entire universe.]]"]]
18** One person on the wiki noted that BHMK's legs had to be sticking out somewhere in the universe, [[ItMakesSenseInContext as he was wearing a corset.]] This was revealed to be true.
19* MemeticMutation:
20** "Pose as a team, 'cause SHIT JUST GOT REAL!"
21** "Punch it in the snout to establish superiority".
22** The React To Update Page is pretty popular.
23* {{Moe}}: Pretty much any time Death cries.
24* MorePopularSpinoff: The Midnight Crew, arguably. Team Sleuth doesn't play a role in [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} the next adventure]]. [[spoiler:However, Sleuth himself ''does'' become a player in Dad Crocker's subplot in ''Webcomic/HomestuckBeyondCanon''.]]
25* NightmareFuel:
26** [[https://www.homestuck.com/problem-sleuth/325 Your imaginary body cannot be sustained on the material plane!]]
27** When Mobster Kingpin grows stronger. Things get even worse, culminating in him becoming a Black Hole and a Demon at the same time.
28* SequelDisplacement: It was definitely significantly more popular than the prior two MSPA stories, and was itself displaced by the torrent of popularity ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' currently rides.
29* ThatOneBoss: DMK's final face has the following abilities:
30** [[spoiler:Has neither EMOTIONS nor DIABETES.]]
31** [[spoiler:Immune to pretty much all attacks not using Tectrixcalibur.]]
32** [[spoiler:''Instantaneous'' regeneration, meaning you have to take off the entire meter in one blow.]]
33** [[spoiler:Gain about fifty billion more health meters.]]
34*** [[spoiler:The final point is actually a subversion due to PS effectively saying "FUCK THIS SHIT" and destroying ''[[MediumAwareness the health bars themselves.]]]]''
35* UnconventionalLearningExperience: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology [[http://www.mit.edu/~puzzle/10/puzzles/1983/edits/ wrote a puzzle]] revolving around parts of ''Problem Sleuth'' for a "mystery hunt" event.
36* TheWoobie: Ace Dick becomes one during his Game of Life. Luckily, this also causes DMK to cry, weakening him to be susceptible to the gang's attacks.
