* HeroesWantRedHeads: Bolo is shown to have a crush on [[spoiler:Harmony]] immediately upon meeting her, the latter of whom is shown to appreciate his affection.

** The Elemental Stones in the first game are given more significance here than in the original story as rather then just being the MacGuffin{{s}} needed for Risky's plot in the first game, they are also seals keeping [[spoiler: the voice sealed]].

** The Tentacle Monster boss of the first dungeon of the first game does not have a title like bosses in other games. Here it's named Tendrix.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: Shantae doesn't really like it when Bolo crushes on every girl he sees, but admits that his crush on [[spoiler: Harmony]] is better than his one on Risky because the former is not evil, nor is she as crazy.
