Basic Trope: The same location looks completely different in the next installment of a series.
- Straight: Tropeland Castle from the Tales of Troperia series has a completely different layout in the sequel.
- Exaggerated: Tropeland Castle looks so different that it's not even recognizable in the sequel.
- Downplayed: Tropeland Castle looks the same except for a few rooms that weren't there in the original.
- Justified:
- The sequel takes place ten years after the sequel and some major renovations have been done to Tropeland Castle in the meantime.
- Tropeland Castle burned down and had to be rebuilt.
- The location has changed because the laws of physics don't quite work right.
- Inverted: Every castle in the land of Tropeland looks different from the outside — but use the same interior sets.
- Subverted: This is from Sir Robert's 'Spinning Compass' Longfield's perspective.
- Double Subverted: … who, for once, is not at a disadvantage.
- Parodied: Sir Robert looks at Tropeland Castle. He looks away for one second, and when he looks back, Tropleand Castle looks completely different.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: All locations that return in the sequel look the same.
- Enforced:
- "It would be boring if we just reused the same set in the sequel, so let's make some changes."
- Tales of Troperia II doesn't have the budget of its predecessor, and thus can't afford to shoot at Castle Gwornyfinog, having to make do with Frantichluf Keep.
- The original game was 3D console game, but the sequel was a 2D handheld game, Tropeland Castle's complex layout had to be reworked to work without breaking it down into too many sub areas.
- Lampshaded: "This is absurd! I know that huge door wasn't there before... and since when is there a forest where the castle garden used to be?"
- Invoked: After the humiliating defeat by Emperor Evulz in Tales of Troperia I, Queen Alice had the castle's layout modified into something more defendable to Evulz's tactics.
- Exploited: Queen Alice tricks Emperor Evulz into thinking that he took a wrong turn somewhere by convincing him that the heavily remodeled Tropleand is a completely different castle.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
