* TemptingFate: When investigating what happened to the Unders that were dealing with the Screetch, you run into one of them fleeing while saying that they should be out of range of the Screetch's attacks, only to get crystallized shortly after.
* VideoGameRandomizer: The game has a Randomized mode that causes all its collectibles and major unlocks to be scrambled throughout the map, so one may find different items in treasure chests or from quests. Dialogue doesn't reflect on the changed items though. The game recommends you beat the main game before trying this. Such a mode has three difficulties, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard, with the harder difficulties having more erratic randomizing, and the description of Very Hard downright stating that one must know speedrun strategies and even potential forms of SequenceBreaking to beat this difficulty.

* ItsUpToYou: Yoku has to do ''almost everything'' in this game by himself, as the vast majority of [=NPCs=] are either unable or unwilling to help with even the most menial of tasks.

Averted in a few boss battles, where some [=NPCs=] join Yoku for a multiball battle.
