** "A Christmas Gift". As the ending has [[spoiler:a grown Lucy falling into deep, realistic depression over the death of her father]], failure is not an option.

* EverybodyCries: After witnessing [[spoiler:the Agents get [[TakenForGranite petrified]] by the aliens attacking Earth]], the people who were helped by the Agents all cry. If you listen closely, you can hear a few of them say things like "[[ThisCannotBe It can't be!]]", "Oh God...", and "What happened?"

''Elite Beat Agents'' (an Americanized version of Japanese rhythm game ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'') is a 2006 RhythmGame for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS that makes extensive and exclusive use of the stylus. It stars the EBA, [[TheMenInBlack Men In Black]] or the Female Cheerleaders who solve the world's problems through music and dance, as opposed to the uniquely-Japanese male cheerleaders from its Japanese progenitor.

Known primarily for its [[QuirkyWork weird Japanese charm]] and unique control scheme, ''Ouendan'' became a hit among UsefulNotes/{{import gam|ing}}ers, prompting Nintendo and its developer to bring the game to North America under its alternate name, retaining most of the visual charm of the original, but ([[PragmaticAdaptation understandably]]) replacing the J-Pop music with various popular songs from the West to create a uniquely "[[{{Eagleland}} American]]" atmosphere. ''Elite Beat Agents'' was also treated as a genuine sequel to ''Ouendan'' and featured many gameplay upgrades over its Japanese predecessor and even a few cameos from ''Ouendan'' characters as an EasterEgg for the import fanbase.

* WaitingForABreak: Amanda Straw plays this lovingly straight, being a waitress with big dreams of dancing on stage and everyone around her crushing those dreams, but the Agents help her realize them.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Whatever the difficulty level, [[Music/{{Jamiroquai}} Canned Heat]] is a step above the stages that came before it, and sets the tone for the later stages.

* DownerBeginning: While most levels have humorous starts, "You're the Inspiration" and "The Anthem" start out fairly depressing. In the former, a young girl learns her father has died while away on business and refuses to accept it; in the latter, a major-league baseball player has his career crash and burn, being reduced to a lowly janitor at an amusement park (and that's ''before'' the golem attacks!).

* SeekerWhiteBloodCells: In the "La La" stage, white blood cells are [[AnthropomorphizedAnatomy Anthropomorphized]] as HospitalHottie nurses armed with syringes that attack and battle viruses depicted as demons looking to cause mayhem.

Added DiffLines:

** Played straight with some cameos from recurring characters in the Ouendan series. Joe and Dan make an appearance to arrest Colonel Bob during one of the fail screens of "Let's Dance", while Junior stars as one of the main actors in Chris's movie in "Makes No Difference".

** Kahn's ''AGENTS ARE GO!!'' is repeated at the start of every mission (save the one where the agents are sent to help Lucy, to prevent MoodWhiplash, as well as the very last mission since the Agents were already dispatched and [[spoiler:turned to stone by the Rhombulans]].). This is followed by the Agents' own catchphrase: '''''ARE YOU READY?''' THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!''
