* GratuitousNinja: It's a game in a mostly westernized medieval setting, until you're reminded it's made in Japan when the game throws a ninja as one of the bosses halfway through. One named "Kage" (wind) who can run circles around you and proves rather difficult to hit.
* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: There's those chibi-looking harpies serving as AirborneMooks in the game, who attacks by dropping from above. The stage where you travel on the back of a giant parrot have them serving as ''transports'' for other mook enemies.
