* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite being called "grannies," many of the titular Cyber Grannies don't look that old. They don't have any wrinkles, and most don't even have gray or white hair.

Added DiffLines:

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Annie Granny has a painting of an angel in her studio. It's the stereotypical white-robed guy with a halo and wings. The game offers a very neutral, secular definition of "angel":
--> "Angels are beautiful characters with wings. You can see them in many works of art. Some people believe they are good spirits."

Added DiffLines:

* OnlySixFaces: All 26 grannies have the same, gourd-shaped head. They do have different hairstyles, and in some cases, different skin tones, but their faces are all still basically identical.

Added DiffLines:

* PunnyName: The host character is a kangaroo named Atoz. This pun depends less on the name's pronunciation (AY-tozz) and more on its spelling - ''A to Z''.

!!That's why we call them Troper Grannies:
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The game opens with [[https://youtu.be/0b49JOPEd9c a song]] by Atoz and a sentient airplane explaining that the grannies are called Cyber Grannies because they live in a computer. The song also promises words to learn and games to play.
* MediumAwareness: Downplayed. The opening song makes it clear that, at the very least, Atoz knows that the grannies live "inside a machine," and that's why they're called ''Cyber'' Grannies. However, Atoz doesn't make it clear that the grannies are specifically in a computer game, or that Atoz themself knows that ''they're'' in the game too.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Granny Zelda's zoo prominently features a zebu.
