Cool Key.

Added DiffLines:

* CoolKey: Viktor believes Knack is one to a door in Trogdo Mine, which requires a specific collection of relics to open. Subverted, as Knack is a few pieces short of the set... but the actual key, a key-shaped amalgam of relics, plays it straight.

Energy Absorption, concerning the robots in Knack 2. And Lucas' plane in the climax.

Added DiffLines:

* EnergyAbsorption: The robots in the sequel become more powerful when exposed to the energy of the Artifact.
** This also applies in the climax, with [[spoiler: Xander's war machine shooting Lucas' plane. The same plane made from ''artifact-bolstered robot parts.'' Shot by the ''artifact-powered war machine.'' This quickly transitions into FeedItWithFire as the cannon keeps shooting Lucas' plane, and Lucas' retaliating blasts become more powerful.]]

* RealSongThemeTune: Knack shares The Heavy's "How You Like Me Now?" as its credits song with VideoGame/Borderlands2.
** The trailer for ''Knack 2'' uses Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet", and another uses "Little Willy" by Music/{{Sweet}}. The end credits of ''Knack II'' uses "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" by [=US3=].
