* {{Munchkin}}: Many players will change their Mii color to simply provide the most benefits throughout the games as opposed to their genuine favorite color. Unlike typical Munchkins, [[TropesAreNotBad these guys are people who you want to encounter]], seeing as how they can help you get past difficult levels with ease. The same will likely go for hobbies for ''Battleground Z''.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: As far as fighting the zombies goes, anyway. There's three types of damage: Slash, Smash, and Power. Slash works great against squishy things like Rotties, but is resisted by armored enemies and the Spiky Trash Can. Smash works great against anything armored or the Trash Cans, but not so much against squishy things. Power is unaffected by armor or squishy and is resisted by neither, which is why most [[LimitBreak special attacks]] are of this type.

* LuckManipulationMechanic: Buying items from the companies and having multiple Miis of the same color increases the chances of good events happening. Conversely, selling the items back will make bad outcomes more likely. This isn't affecting the players luck, but the companies. The player is fully capable of making money off of a companies stock tanking since that's the ideal time to buy shares.

''[=StreetPass=] VideoGame/{{Mii}} Plaza'' is a program that is preloaded on the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, that serves to demonstrate the system's [=StreetPass=] function. When a player passes by another 3DS owner (who uses the program), that user's Mii will be collected in the main plaza along with some information about them. Miis can also be gathered in the plaza through some other methods, including invitations in certain games and by transferring special golden-pants Miis obtained online.

* TemporaryOnlineContent: {{Mii}}s deleted from the plaza can't be returned, unless you [=StreetPass=] that person again. Also, invited Miis moved to the Mii Maker will be deleted as well, and also can't be brought back. But the most important thing to remember is that the special Miis given out by Nintendo, while they act like normal [=StreetPassed=] Miis in that they give you a Puzzle Swap piece and can be used in ''Find Mii'', act like invited Miis (that is, are deleted from the Plaza) if you try to copy them to the Mii Maker. Unlike invited Miis, [[GuideDangIt there is no warning for this]]. And if you return the Mii from Mii Maker to the plaza, it will just count as an invited Mii and can no longer be rehired in the ''Find Mii'' games. So if you get one of those rare Miis, ''leave it in the plaza''. ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' makes this very very difficult to resist. Though one could always just copy the rare Mii from memory. Or google QR codes.\\

** Turning the camera on the ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' puzzle reveals multiple hidden Keychains:
*** Meta Knight (the ''Super Star Ultra'' one) before the Bronto Burt on the bridge.
*** Bandana Waddle Dee below the genuine article.
*** Inhaling Kirby from ''Adventure'' on the upper portion of the rotating tree.
*** King Dedede mid-jump from ''Adventure'' behind the falling wall.
*** Magolor below the pushing hand bridge section.
*** The Creator/HALLaboratory block/"Golden Egg Statue" on the bottom right corner, just past the Miracle Fruit.
** The ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''/''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' puzzle has a few too.
*** In the ''Drum Dash'' section, there's a cutout of a Waddle Dee on a stick waving back and forth below the final trampoline, as well as a Kirby keychain (from ''Adventure'') on the rope holding the cloud above the final trampoline.
*** Meanwhile, turning the camera to the right in the ''Fighters'' section reveal King Dedede watching the four Kirbys fight (and subsequently watching all four Kirbys splat against the screen).
** The ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' puzzle has Susie start flying off-camera on the bottom-right after a few seconds. Hidden off of the top-left corner is a planet with Bandana Waddle Dee, waving.

* NotCompletelyUseless: It is normally inadvisable to use a pink Mii's "daring" spell due to turning all subsequent hits into {{Critical Hit}}s but also reducing their accuracy. However, if you're up against an armored enemy and you know that most or everyone behind the pink Mii is a level 1 Mii, it may be your only hope for doing damage. "Actual damage or miss" sounds a lot better than "near-guaranteed to hit and do 0 damage".

Chilled Potato Potage can be made from onions alone, and Egg Tarts can be made just from flour, with no eggs. You might only get a So-So (2-star) meal, but better than a Failed Experiment ''and'' the recipe'' is filed into your list.

* CharacterSelectForcing: Some levels are specifically designed to have a particular color take advantage of them.
** Level 2-1 contains many stone blocks that take a while to be destroyed unless hit with the Brown Miis' spike shield, which destroys them instantly. The boss of the level, Skully, is vulnerable to the spike shield as well, with his modified ship's block-summoning ability being near-useless against it.
** Level 2-3 favors Black Miis, being filled with enemies that are [[IncrediblyDurableEnemies very durable]] unless [[FeedItABomb fed a bomb]], which deals heavy damage to them.
** Levels 3-1, 4-1, and 4-3 require the use of Light Green Miis if the player wants all the gems; since their Ensnaring Plasma ability has magnetic properties and can pierce through solid ground at Level 3, they are the only Miis that can get the gems stuck in the ground, and are the best choice to destroy the twin submarines in 4-3 simultaneously due to how far apart they are from each other.
** Planet Aquatis, being entirely underwater, gives Blue Miis an advantage and puts Red Miis at a disadvantage, giving the former's [[HomingProjectile Hunting Sharks]] a boost in speed and tracking ability while reducing the range and power of the latter's [[PlayingWithFire Blazing Flame]] ability.
