Latisha herself is clearly a SassyBlackWoman.

* SassyBlackWoman: Of the Blue Alien variety, Latisha in ''Mission to Earth''.

* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Trixie is some kind of green alien mermaid who appears when the player finds one of her Super Secret Funk Orbs, granting the duo a power-up (like unlimited coins, unlimited Funk-Vacs, or double the gains on presents) that lasts until the end of the level. The description from the manual goes so far to suggest she's some kind of goddess.

The main villain of ''Mission to Earth'' and the one responsible for stealing Lamont's funky albums.

* BigFun: Earl is overweight and a nice guy.

* TookALevelInJerkass: As seen above, [=ToeJam=] didn’t have much character in the first two games. Then in ''Mission to Earth'' he became more narcissistic and selfish.
** TookALevelInKindness: ''Back in the Groove'' sees [=ToeJam=] being a lot nicer than in the third game.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In the third game, [=ToeJam=] was a lot more narcissistic and cocky in personality, though still a decent guy under the bravado.

* FragileSpeedster: She can run faster and jump farther than Latisha but has lower health as a trade-off.

* FlatCharacter: [=ToeJam=] didn't have much of a personality until the third game.

Half of the eponymous funky duo. [=ToeJam=] is brash and hip, and tends to act before thinking, but has a good heart. He has a crush on Lewanda in the second and fourth games, and Latisha in the third.
