--> '''Lumi:''' He once saw a TV show called “[Series/MasterChef Mister Chef]]” and decided that he’s a world class food artist.

---> '''Doctor Shinobi:''' [[TheQuest My quest]] takes me to The World Above, to find the [[PenultimateWeapon legendary]] [[MacGuffin sword]], [[CallBack Ashmedai]]. With it, I shall finally defeat my brother, and [[RankUp become the leader of the Amputated Dentists Clan]].

** Completing the eighth stage of the Idle Game and buying the final item for 2000 coins (a task that takes longer than an hour for the final stage alone) grants you... [[BraggingRightsReward nothing, except for one achievement, titled "It really wasn't worth it"]]. The shop even says that it's "probably not worth it".

* AchievementMockery: If you simply search online for the code to Mastermind's door[[labelnote:code]]1073[[/labelnote]] without finding the treasure, you get the "Read a walkthrough" achievement, and not only does Lumi outright say she looked up the code upon being questioned about how she knew the code, Laifu even scolds you for doing so shortly after. You unlock your Star power shortly afterwards, since you were supposed to get it through the intended path, but Laifu doesn't tell you how to use it, saying that you can probably just search it up as well. Doing this also has the added bonus of completely skipping the Fairy Hartstronk race, Booty the Bootleg Bootleg, [[LegionOfDoom The Great Evil Villainous League Of Evil Villains]] meeting, and all three Reinbo fights.

* InnocentBigot: At the end of the game, Lumi talks about exploring the Internet. During this conversation, she asks you if you're a "beta cuck", unaware of what the term really means.[[labelnote:context]]General consensus on the internet, at least as seen on Urban Dictionary, is that a "beta cuck" are males who are weak and/or cowardly.[[/labelnote]] This is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by her only experience with the internet at that point being her own website, which resembles extremely old internet websites. It's only logical that she wouldn't be very well-informed on modern internet culture, such as the "beta cuck".

** Doctor Shinobi, who is also a SelfInsert. He wears black and green, as well as an extremely red scarf, and is justified by him being a ''doctor'' ninja. The reason his scarf is red is because it's soaked in the blood of his enemies, which he then uses to transfuse into ''other'' enemies that he treats. He is never seen trying to be stealthy, though. Shinobi also invokes another 17 tropes... all in 8 lines of dialogue, and in that order.

Shinobi also invokes WithholdingTheirName, even though nobody asked about his name, immediately inverts WithholdingTheirName, and then either invokes or implies ProfessionalKiller, TheMedic, ExtremeCloseUp, StealthExpert, LampshadeHanging, NotHisBlood, GoalInLife, CainAndAbel (with his step-twin brother, Anarchist Lawyer), EvilTwin (with the same person), implied LoopholeAbuse (this is still the same person), TheQuest for a PenultimateWeapon named [[CallBack Ashmedai]], and RankUp (as a MacGuffin)... all in less than 20 lines of dialogue, and in that order.

---> '''Doctor Shinobi:''' My name is Doctor Shinobi. Ever since I was born, I was [[ProfessionalKiller trained to assassinate people]]...

** ASHMEDAI THE DESTROYER provides you the option to skip any boss instantly.

--> '''Lumi:''' What I meant to say is you're '''GRAAAAAAAAAAAH'''

* HiddenVillain: Laifu. Once you make it into the Mastermind's EvilLair, the conveniently-shaped-like-Mistermind silhouette is revealed to be Laifu sitting in a throne, much to Lumi's disappointment. At the same time, it's revealed that she is one of the few individuals who were able to return from The World Above, but they remember nothing about it, besides finding other people who seemed insistent on calling her "thick." She eventually started to get sick of this and [[AnArmAndALeg cut her own legs off]] so she couldn't go back, and has vowed the rest of her life to protecting others from the same fate. It's ''later'' revealed she was referring to the Void, and, as far as she knows, The World Above does not exist.]]

* TitleDrop: Near the end of the game, if you ask Lumi what [[FinalBoss that core she just fought was, she'll refer to it as the ''Outcore'']]. Funnily enough, she dismisses the name as "cringy" immediately after.

** Laifu and the School of Love appear to be a homage to Franchise/{{Danganropa}}.

* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: Found in the variety of Nearing-the-End Music. Every boss track has a faster and more intense version, identifiable by the "Pinch!" at the end of their name, that plays when the boss has very low health, usually their very last hitpoint. The game's four examples::

--> '''Ashmedai:''' Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whatsupppppppp. It's me, your bot, ASHMEDAI THE DESTROYER. Listen. You and I? We're best buddies. And you know what best buddies do together? That's right! '''They share their favorite platforming keyboard layouts with each other!''' Yeah! All the cool kids do that. So uhmm... How about you go first?

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Downplayed by Ashmedai the Destroyer. Ashmedai takes a form closest to TheVoice, albeit as text, at the start of the first Memory and the pause menu, where they allow you to select your control scheme and skip bosses, respectively.

** Upon starting the game, a character called "ASHMEDAI THE DESTROYER" asks you what your preferred control scheme is, offering the choice between using the Arrow keys + ZXC or Mouse + WASD. If you're recording the game, he instead says he is "The Screen That Warns You Not To Leak Your Private Information On Stream." Ashmedai warns you that the game does indeed run on your actual desktop, and, since the screen is being recorded, to ensure that nothing you don't want to be seen is visible.
