* LeftHanging: The game ends after [[spoiler:you defeat Mayor Onion]] and goes straight to credits with [[spoiler:Turnip Boy sleeping and a song being played, and confirming that, yes - he did commit tax evasion]]. This after leaving many plotlines with no proper conclusions and has points such as:
** [[spoiler:Mayor Onion detonating a nuke with Turnip Boy being stranded on debris in space with Earth far below him.]]
** [[spoiler:Turnip Boy still being radioactive and surviving humans still being in their Bunker, locked in an even more secure part of it.]]
** [[spoiler:Annie the Avocado's research.]]
** [[spoiler:The building of Onion's City Hall.]]

** [[spoiler:Aside from Turnip Boy's greenhouse being destroyed, the state of Veggieville and its citizens is left ambiguous after Mayor Onion detonates the nuke in the true ending]].

* NeverSayDie: Typically, characters will never say that others are dead and say that they will become or sleep with the rotten. Justified, as they are mostly all farm produce items.
