''Dawn of Mana'' plays like its SpiritualSuccessor KingdomHearts, but instead of gaining experience to level up, the hero has to earn badges before he can permanently upgrade his abilities. This mechanic, in addition to the frustratingly difficult boss battles and jumping puzzles, has made ''Dawn of Mana'' reviled by fans.

* BagOfSpilling - You lose all of your accumulated stats at the end of ''every chapter''. Most definitely a ScrappyMechanic.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}} - TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.
* CameraCentering
* CameraScrew - Boss fights and jumping puzzles would be a lot easier if the camera controls didn't jerk your POV and controls around wildly at the slightest provocation.
* CherryTapping - Killing enemies with the Slingshot or Whip.

*** For that matter, so does the Masked Guru!
* DoubleJump
* DieChairDie - A lot of the game's environment is destructible and [[RewardingVandalism contains loot]]; you can even earn an accolade for destroying more than 700 objects.
* EnemyDetectingRadar - ColorCodedForYourConvenience: blue ones drop items, red ones are there to improve your level completion grade and to abuse the RagdollPhysics with their bodies, and the flashing yellow dot indicates the direction you need to go.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou - Partially averted; you can trick enemies into attacking each other.
* FairyCompanion - Casts magic for you and asks "are you okay?" [[StopHelpingMe every single time]] you recover from StandardStatusAilments.
* GrievousHarmWithABody - How you can hurt enemies with the Whip.
* KenjiIto - Composed part of the music. This was the fourth ''WorldOfMana'' game to feature his music, after ''FinalFantasyAdventure'', ''SwordOfMana'' and ''ChildrenOfMana''.
* LevelGrinding - A necessity in every chapter thanks to the BagOfSpilling.
* RagdollPhysics - Abusing it is the only way to gain much-needed stat boosts in the game.
