* DifficultySpike: [=Ch1p=]'s levels in the Guardian trials. They are a grueling series of platforming that are easily tougher than pretty much any previous levels. And there are nine of them.
** The Wrestful Retreat level "Peaceful Place", is uncharacteristic PlatformHell, seemingly to fit with its ironic name. It even has a mini boss gauntlet which is required to progress further in the level.

* ArtEvolution: Lucky's design is less simplistic than in ''Lucky's Tale''. UpToEleven when the release of ''New Super Lucky's Tale'' with the prologue and the final cutscene is drawn in hand and Lucky and Jinx can talk straight.

'''''Super Lucky's Tale''''' is a 3D CollectAThonPlatformer that hearkens to the 1990s, and the mascot platformers of the time. It was developed by ''Playful Corp.'' and released for ''UsefulNotes/XboxOne'' and ''UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]]''s on November 17, 2017. An UpdatedRerelease for the ''UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch'', ''New Super Lucky's Tale'' was launched on November 8th, 2019; this in turn was also released for other consoles (and, on a more surprising note, ''UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}'' and the ''[[Creator/EpicGames Epic Games Store]]'', being confirmed only on the day of its release) on August 21, 2020.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Reaching certain milestones or accomplishing certain things will unlock outfits from Geovanni's shop. For instance, collecting all of the pages in a world unlocks that world's boss's clothes tailored to Lucky's size.
** BraggingRightsReward: Getting all 16 hot dogs in Foxington, the world made of {{Brutal Bonus Level}}s, unlocks [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Howdy's Hidden Hotdog Hat and Smiley's Secret Sausage Smock]]. Together, Lucky resembles a hot dog cart vendor.

* DontFearTheReaper: Do fear the reaper enemy. But the undead and ghosts in Hauntingham are probably some of the most genial and pleasant depictions outside of [[CasperTheFriendlyGhost Casper]].

* AdorableEvilMinions: The Kitty Litter and nearly all standard mooks fit this trope.

* CollisionDamage: All of the enemies will damage you by touching.

* ChuckChunninghamSyndrome: Lucky's pet pig, Piggy, the alien villain Gloop, have no appearance nor mention in Super Lucky's Tale, effectively being a entirely new continuity.

* DifficultySpike: Ch1p's levels in the Guardian trials. They are a grueling series of platforming that are easily tougher than pretty much any previous levels. And there are nine of them.

** There are plausibly two shoutouts to the MonkeyIsland series. The Mystery Character who is spying on Lucky in every level is reminiscent of Fester Shinetop from TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland. The boss of Wrestful Retreat are like cat versions of comically inept pirate Mr Fossey and the enormous gorilla LeChimp from TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland.

** However, [[WordOfGod]] states that [[https://twitter.com/PlayfulLucky/status/1297902714526076931?s=20 Lucky is more than capable of running on all fours should he want to]].

In a far away world there lives a fox named Lucky and his sister who are the protectors of the Book of Ages, inside of which exist large worlds with diverse characters. There also lives a cat named Jinx, who has the notion of stealing the book for his own nefarious purposes. In a quest to find his inner power, Lucky proceeds into the book to find the many treasures within its pages- the keys to stopping Jinx in his tracks- while also meeting a diverse variety of characters, including Jinx's offspring the Kitty Litter.

** At the start of Tess's boss battle, her MiniMech will accidentally swat two {{Mook}}s flying near her, sending them crashing into the camera lens.

* GoombaStomp: After stunning the enemies with his tail, Lucky needs to dispatch them by jumping down on them.

* PostEndGameContent: Foxington, 20 new levels that test Lucky to allow him to become an official Guardian, 4 new costumes to unlock, and even a stinger ending. It started out as DownloadableContent, but the updated re-release has it as a PlayableEpilogue.

* DefectorFromDecadence: The Penultimate Warrior is a light version of this. At best he seems to disdain the rest of his people's turn from their warrior ways to more peaceful ones, at worst he thinks they're wimps.
