* GameBreaker: The Wind type prior to the expansion and the addition of the Warped type. Warped was given a complete immunity to wind moves to balance the type out. In particular however, Power Aya outsped almost the entire game [Only outsped by 4 other puppets... one of which being another Aya form]; had 105 Base Fo.Atk; Salvo [The equivilent to Skill Link] and Twister; a physical multi-hitting Wind move. She also had a secondary Fighting typing; which hit one of the only two Wind Resisting types at the time for Super-effective.

* BarrierChangeBoss: Power Kokoro's and Extra Satori's ability "Infinite Scales" is esentially Protean. Extra Satori even has similar stats to ''Greninja,'' a Pokemon that got KickedUpstairs to Ubers. Additionally, Extra Hecatia can not only change between three combinations of elements, but also drastically change her defensive stats, resulting in a puppet that can have high Focused/low Spread Defense, vica-verca, or Focused and Spread Defense that's higher than either, depending on the move used.

The story begins with the protagonist spirited away to Gensokyo by Yukari via bus, right in front of the Hakurei Shrine. However, they're dropped in the middle of an incident where Gensokyo is overrun by the puppets, FunSize replicas of Gensokyo's residents. Thankfully, they're spotted by Marisa and loaned a puppet to defend themselves from a puppet attack...only to have somehow tamed one without the use of a sealing thread. The incident doesn't see itself ending anytime soon either, leaving them trapped in Gensokyo until the incident is resolved.

Released at Comiket 87, ''Gensou Ningyou Enbu'' (幻想人形演舞, lit. ''Fantasy Puppet Dance Performance''), unofficially referred to as ''Touhou Puppet Dance Performance'', is the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/TouhouNingyougeki''. The game was developed by Creator/FocasLens, a one-man doujin circle consisting of [=HemoglobinA1C=], who also developed the original ''Touhoumon'' [[GameMod romhacks]]. However, unlike those games, ''Touhou Puppet Dance Performance'' is a stand-alone title featuring new mechanics and a wider cast of puppets to choose from.

* StandardStatusEffect: Some of them are a bit different from those of Pokemon, but they're still there. A single puppet can be affected by up to two status effects, with the more powerful ones not being able to overlap with others.

* StarterMon: Exaggerated. You don't get access to three standard Fire-Nature-Water Puppets at the start of the game, oh no. Try ''every single puppet in the game'' as your potential starter.

** Fighting: BareFistedMonk, CharlesAtlasSuperpower, KiAttacks

* GlassCannon: Power Utsuho has amazing 150 Attacking stats in both Focus and Spread, however, her HP is average, her Defenses are a weak 50 on both fronts, and she's not very fast with 60 speed. She'll leave a dent on any opponent she faces, provided she even has a chance to get an attack off...

* BraggingRightsReward: Getting 50 consecutive wins in the Puppet Exhibition in Shard of Dreams nets you the Boundary Trance, an item which may serve as the game's main GameBreaker. It acts as an upgraded version of the Dream Shard, meaning only special puppets (Read: Either those with max happiness, or starters) can hold it. Unlike the Dream Shard, which increases the holder's stats by 10%, though, the Boundary Trance flat-out doubles the holder's stats. The only issue is that, without using NewGamePlus, there's no challenge left in the game to use the Boundary Trance on, as the Puppet Exhibition is the final challenge in the game.

* StoneWall: Several. Defense Orange is the Chansey/Blissey of the game. Having high HP but weak Focus Defense and very high Spread Defense. Assist Kisume is the same thing but vice-versa. Defense Lunasa and Defense Kotohime have high Defenses, but their low HP mitigates this.
* TakesOneToKillOne: Marisa mentions at the start of the game that puppets can only be harmed by other puppets.

* BlessedWithSuck: Power Suika is the Slaking of this game, having the highest Focus Attack in the game (165), but cannot move every other turn.
