Changing uses of \"oni\" to the game\'s use of \"Onii.\" Not sure of the significance of it using that term, but it uses it consistently, even through to New Little King\'s Story. Not bothering to make sure it\'s always capitalized, though.

** He does have a fairly powerful attack in ''New Little King's Story'', but it leaves him very vulnerable and he's still ridiculously squishy, so it's often better to just let your royal guard handle things and only use his attack if there's a big, obvious opening or to help knock down obstacles.

Not to be confused with the WiiWare title [[{{VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesMyLifeAsAKing}} My Life as a King]] by Square, which has a similar premise, but is a city sim game where you [[HeroOfAnotherStory simply dispatch other adventurers on escapades instead of directly controlling anything]].

I added the Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy shout outs.

Added DiffLines:

** There are several to the [[Literature/DouglasAdams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]:
*** TV Dinnah talks about "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the World"
*** The Animal Book says that the dog found "...the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything!"
*** The Tunesmith Book, when talking about the song "Brave New World", about the universe, it mentions "...the resturant at the end of it!" This refers to the Resturant at the End of the Universe, the second book in the series, which is about the character's journey to a resturant that is built to be frozen in time when the universe was ending.
*** According to Princess Spumoni, Shizuka has a weird laptop with the words "DON'T PANIC" written on it. This is an actual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which, in the books, is an encyclopedia with information on the galaxy and all of it's creatures (along with some stuff on towels!)

* Self-ImposedChallenge: Some players occasionally go out of their kingdom without their posse. Corobo can hurt enemies with the command action, and doing so makes taking down enemies and bosses harder. for example, Duvroc can be taken down with only the king, but doing so takes about an hour as you deal with all the enemies and avoid their attacks as the king is a bit of a OneHitPointWonder
