* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: When you are talking to the King Hamster in the third game, the music playing is an instrumental version of "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" (aka EverybodyMustGetStoned) by Music/BobDylan.

''[[http://armorgames.com/play/2893/achievement-unlocked Achievement Unlocked]]'' is a {{web game|s}} by {{jmtb02}}, that could be considered a [[ShapedLikeItself metagame about metagaming]]. It is the ''SpinOff''/sequel to ''Elephant Rave''. The game features an elephant in a room, and myriad achievements ranging from simple things like moving left and right, to more complex things like dying a certain amount of times, or visiting certain points in the room in a certain order. You can earn 13 achievements by ''starting up the game and standing still''.

** The craziest of them? [[spoiler:type the game's URL in another tab while you're still playing it, and you'll gain access to the Hot Coffee screen. Move about in that mini-stage, and stand onto the coffee cup to get more achievements]]. But wait, there's more: [[spoiler: in that secret screen, there's ''another secret screen'', named Cold Coffe. It's found by falling off the side of the Hot Coffee screen. Standing on top the Cold Coffee mug also gives you an achievement]]. It's pretty safe to say that [=AU2=] also pokes fun at the very notion of GuideDangIt.

* ShoutOut: A number of the achievements, such as [[ThreeHundred "THIS IS SPARTA"]], [[TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy "Meaning of Life"]], [[TheBeeGees "Stayin' Alive"]], [[RockyHorrorPictureShow "It's a Jump to the Left" and "And it's a step to the Ri-i-ight!"]].

''Yes you, the player: [[ThisLoserIsYou A lowly blue elephant]] {{in a world}} [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife that has no defining purpose.]] [[{{Determinator}} But you will create a purpose,]] [[BeyondTheImpossible and that purpose is to do the unthinkable.]] The extraordinary.

The same elephant stars in ''ThisIsTheOnlyLevel'' and its sequel, as well as ''Elephant Rave HD'' and ''Elephant Rave sLoWdOwN Remix'', ''Run Elephant Run'', ''Obey The Game!'' and ''Elephant Quest''.

* ObviousBeta: The third game. Several achievemant had minor errors, and the frame rate is horrible.

* SolidGoldPoop: In the sequel, the elephant can poop pastries, and eat them too.

* DoubleJump: Averted in the first two games, though attempting to do so is an achievement in itself. Available in the third game, while trying to triple-jump gets an achievement.

* DoubleJump: Averted, although attempting to do so is an achievement in itself.

* NonstandardGameOver: In the second game, going upstairs to finish without all of the achievments.

* WelcomeToTheRealWorld: The sequel's top level is supposed to be [[spoiler: the real world (called the cataclysm), with a dramatic music playing when you enter it. The background is a picture of a city (from the picture, it's probably Chicago) at twilight. You even get an achievement if [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth you kill yourself in the cataclysm]].]]

* CriticalResearchFailure: In the first game, the description for the "Too Much Contra" achievement, obtained from entering the KonamiCode, calls it "the level select code from ''Contra''". Putting the Konami Code into ''Contra'' gives you thirty lives - it doesn't let you select a level.
