* NumberOfTheBeast: As the team makes their way deeper into the earth, Dan notes their current depth, and as they reach 666 miles underground, Moby notes that she has a bad feeling about that. The US version changes this to 696 miles underground for censorship reasons, but since the next time Dan notes their depth they're at 680 miles underground which the US version didn't remember to change to a larger number, this makes it seem like they somehow managed to rise 16 miles towards the surface while constantly moving deeper underground.

Each chapter starts out with Moby inside the VZR for a side-scrolling PlatformGame, and then switching to an RPG[=/=]FirstPersonShooter hybrid where you talk to your crew members for advice on how to defeat a boss, and usually ending with a side-scrolling segment with Moby exploring outside of the VZR. A few chapters also have vertically-scrolling ShootEmUp stages.

* AerithAndBob: We've got characters like Dan, Allan and Sylvia alongside Moby (a ''female'' character), Locke and Ziggy.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: The "good" subterranean empire, Dinamur, has human-like inhabitants (assuming the royal family is any indication), while the evil empire, Nonmalta, is made up of hideous monsters.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: One of your advisors is the princess of the underground kingdom (after [[DistressedDamsel being rescued from the bad guys, of course]]).
