* CerebusSyndrome: {{Downplayed}}. The "darkly lighthearted" tone of the game is still faithfully portrayed across both seasons 1 and 2, but while Season 1 was mostly segues between community highlights with little in the way of storytelling, season 2 added more worldbuilding, and established two parallel {{Story Arc}}s surrounding the gradual escalation of the S.A.W.-Rebellion conflict, and Joe Cluck and Peep being caught in the middle of it. Notably, the latter storyline ends with [[spoiler:both Peep and Joe VI dying]], with both events being more or less PlayedForDrama.

* CatapultNightmare: In "To Get to the Other Side," Peep has one [[spoiler:when they relive seeing Joe Cluck VII die, which prompts her to try and rescue Joe Clucks V and VI]].

* ThatRussianSquatDance: The appropriately named "Russian Dance", which also [[youtube.com/watch?v=SRxNOMTI6iA comes with its own music]].

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Health Juice is a juice that heals you.

* {{Projeggtile}}: The BCG gun, a chicken stuffed into a box, fires giant eggs that explode on impact, leaving a movement-slowing yolk pool on the ground for a time.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The Super Animals available from the start are Fox, Tiger, Bear... and Skullcat.

* '''The Bwoking Dead:''' A 40-player cooperative zombie mode where the survivors must try to hold out long enough for an evacuation plane to arrive while avoiding being infected by [[OurZombiesAreDifferent the Cluckles]], zombified Super Chickens controlled by deceased players.

* HostageVideo: The Rebellion Records one on a VHS to send to the [=SAW=] Studios, demanding 10,011 S.A.W. Tickets in exchange for Joe Cluck's safe release.

* HostageVideo: The Rebellion Records one on a VHS to send to the [=SAW] Studios, demanding 10,011 S.A.W. Tickets in exchange for Joe Cluck's safe release.

* ContinuityCreep: During Season 1, more nods are made to past episodes over time after Donk and Howl get captured by the Rebellion in Episode 3. But it the creep ''really'' sets in in Season 2 with the ongoing plot of Joe Cluck V and Peep.

** In the Season 2 finale of ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'', we're treated to [[spoiler:Catfive killing Peep as she rescues Joe Clucks V and VI]]… and then Donk warily cuts to the episode's Blooper Scooper (reel of player fails).

* CatapultNightmare: In "To Get to the Other Side," Peep has one [[spoiler:when she relives seeing Joe Cluck VII die, which prompts her to try and rescue Joe Clucks V and VI]].

* BusyBeaver: A crew of hard hat-and-safety vest-wearing beavers – complete with JobSong and WeirdTradeUnion – is shown to be responsible for putting the island right in between royales.

* ArcWords: Season 2 seems to have "Sorry" as this. For instance, the Super Lizard in "A Mole Lotta Trouble" says this as they run from Dr. Dogna, and again after releasing Twinkle. But the most of this comes from Peep – usually apologizing to Joe Cluck for things that are going on, with the most notable instance of these being [[spoiler:[[FamousLastWords Peep saying this to the Joes after Catfive shoots her]]]].

* GoodTimesMontage: "To Get to the Other Side" opens with one, showing [[spoiler:Peep and Joe Clucks V and VI having good times while on the run, but then segueing toward Peep watching Joe VII getting killed, which prompts Peep to try and rescue the other two Joes from Catfive]].

* PunchClockVillain: We don't know the extent of Donk and Howl's connection to S.A.W., or if they're even involved with the cruel treatment of the Super Animals. It's very likely that they're simply harmless TV reporters who are unfairly targeted by the Rebellion
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Joe Cluck]] from ''SAR Tonight'' tends to [[spoiler: switch breeds every time he appears... see RunningGag below]]

!!''Super Animal Royale'' contains examples of:

* BittersweetEnding: Season 2 of ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' ends with [[spoiler:Peep I and Joe Cluck VI dead, but Joe V manages to escape the island and the Royale thanks to a bit of mercy from Peep II. On the ''SART'' side, Howl – thinking that Catfive was defending him and Donk from Peep – apologizes to Catfive for his earlier suspicions… just in time for the Finch and the rebels to take advantage of the fact that Peep killed all the SAW Studio guards and burst into the studio]].

* BusyBeaver: In SAR lore (such as in one episode of ''Super Animal Royale Tonight''), a crew of hard hat-and-safety vest-wearing beavers – complete with JobSong and WeirdTradeUnion – is shown to be responsible for putting the island right in between royales.

* CloneArmy: As ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' shows, what happens when a character dies is that either Dr. Dogna or Dr. Spotson makes a new clone of that character (if the corresponding faction has enough reinforcement points) and launches them out of the ground, ready for action.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: If ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' is anything to go by, then you have the Company, and other SAW-aligned forces, who have questionable ethics when it comes to creating the Super Animals and sending them out to fight. On the other side, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized the Rebellion]] is no more scrupulous, willing to do anything in the name of "liberation." However, ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' shows that there are sympathetic characters among both sides – especially in Season 2 of ''SART'', as we get acquainted with Joe Cluck V and Peep.

* PunchClockVillain: We don't know the extent of Donk and Howl's connection to S.A.W., or if they're even involved with the cruel treatment of the Super Animals. It's very likely that they're simply harmless TV reporters who are unfairly targeted by the Rebellion
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Joe Cluck]] from ''SAR Tonight'' tends to [[spoiler: switch breeds every time he appears... see RunningGag below]]

* ZombieInfectee: In The Bwoking Dead, Super Animals infected by Zombie Joes with scratches become these, slowly transforming over the course of a few seconds allowing them to group up with uninfected Animals to surprise attack them.

* AKA47: Most guns are referred to by just their type — pistol, shotgun, etc. with the AK being the exception. This even applies to the ''ammo'': pistols and [=SMGs=] use "little bullets" while magnums and [=AKs=] use "big bullets". The highest-tier version of each gun, however, gets a specific (if sometimes inaccurate) name and model — "Deagle" for the magnum, "Thomas Gun" for the SMG, M16 for the rifle, and JAG-7 for the shotgun — except for the epic-tier pistol which is simply a "silenced pistol" and the epic-tier hunting rifle which is a sniper rifle.

* CombatMedic: In Duo's or Squads, someone acting as a medic is very much possible to do. Dropping health juice or using the Dogna's Dart Gun to heal allies saves on your allies' own health juice reserves, and if one is sufficiently skilled enough, heal people ''mid-fight''.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: If ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' is anything to go by, then you have the Company, and other SAW-aligned forces, who have questionable ethics when it comes to creating the Super Animals and sending them out to fight. On the other side, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized the Rebellion]] is no more scrupulous, willing to do anything in the name of "liberation." However, ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' shows that there are sympathetic characters among both sides – especially in Season 2 of ''SART'', especially as we get acquainted with Joe Cluck V and Peep.
