- Free-Range Children: The fact that your character is a kid is hardly ever brought up, and your parents are equally never brought up.
- Heroic Mime: Averted. You can talk to other players (albeit through pre-recorded questions/responses like "Can you juggle?" and "Do you want to play head-to-head Paint War?"). You also talk to NPCs, and to yourself in some cases (e.g. "I don't think Snoopy has much to say").

- Nice Guy: This is the most personality your character can have, judging from dialogue to NPCs and actions in general.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: On Counterfeit Island, the reason the Balloon Boy ends up floating around in the sky with a balloon is because you gave the balloon to him in the first place.
- Noodle People: Your character's limbs are slim sticks with balls for hands and wedges for feet.
