History YMMV / DokaponKingdom

* GoddammedBats: Roché can this this if the player isn't good at Roshambo, as he will steal 'one-quarter of your money'' if you lose against him.

* DemonicSpiders: Rico Jr. when he's a DegradedBoss. His stats are the average of all non-Darkling players, so no amount of grinding or buying weapons will give the player an easy win. It's especially bad if one player has managed to get a rare weapon and/or shield to put their AT or DF ahead, or he has high MG and attacks a player with poor MG, since either can allow him to one-shot a player
** Roché, while not an enemy per se, he can this this if the player isn't good at Roshambo, as he will steal money if you lose.

* MostWonderfulSound: Rico Jr.'s "So ''strooooong!''" upon defeat.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Any time you can defeat a Darkling or any other opponent meant to serve as a HopelessBossFight.

* LesYay: Female heroes are just as motivated by the StandardHeroReward as the male heroes, and if a girl does win, Penny does not mind the idea of marrying the other girl.

%%* {{Moe}}: Penny and Leane.

** The game also provides an ''intentional'' GameBreaker in the [[DealWithTheDevil Darkling]] class, which exists solely so that the player in last place can screw over everyone else as badly as they've been screwed.

** Leane uses her "innocent village girl" image as a facade for drug trafficking. She continually pops up asking players to deliver parcels of food to different towns, but every item -- including a full pizza -- is presented in a pouch too small to carry what she claims it to be. Some of the "meal" names get pretty exotic, too.
*** Seriously, replace her introduction with, "Hey buddy, wanna make some money?" and the whole thing takes on a different tone.

* {{Moe}}: Penny and Leane.
* NightmareFuel:
** "Hey, ''kid''! Wanna see some '''magic'''?"
** Combined with ParanoiaFuel, the Robo-Agent seems nice enough, to the point that one may wonder how effective he would be at stopping other players. Then he transforms into the significantly more menacing Robo-sassin and hunts the poor target down for a week non-stop. You can bribe him to attack his original boss for twice the price if you have the money...and he makes sure to offer in his Robo-sassin mode to make it more enticing on top of that.
* SequelDisplacement: This series started in 1994 on the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom and played like it does today, though its first Western release was a {{spinoff}} on the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlZuaSJib8 Hundred World Story]], a still-older party-boardgame-RPG for the original UsefulNotes/{{Famicom}}.

* NightmareFuel: If a girl wins, the girl and Princess Penny are [[LesYay fine with marrying]], but the King notes that they can't publicly marry two girls. So, the wedding scene plays out with [[spoiler:the King in the bride's wedding gown(!)]]

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: SP and HP. SP increases hit rate and evasion rate for physical attacks in battle, as well as for field magic. A moderately high HP total can make up for a low, even almost 0 DF stat. These are also both stats that most pieces of equipment will not raise, so it can be especially important to invest in them.

** Later on, Spellsword falls behind the triangle of [[FighterMageThief Ninja, Monk, and Alchemist.]] Its stat growths are pumped into both AT and MG, making it inefficient since it's better to specialize in one over the other. While it has a decent field spell, its battle abilities are not that great in comparison to the other three.

** Dr. Exiles is really a kindly doctor taking desperate measures to cure the kingdom of its biggest malady: Greed. The real reason he was exiled from the kingdom was because his value of health over money was seen as destructive to the status quo. By constantly charging exorbitant amounts of money regardless of his patients' level of wellness he hopes to expose the ridiculousness of living one's life solely for financial gain and shows people that there is life without money by forcing them to go without.

* DesignatedHero: The {{Player Character}}s would often do things that made them end up as this in order to win. This includes: sending thieves and assassins against the competition, robbing shops, attacking towns, {{Kill Steal}}ing, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking not delivering items from a little girl like they promised to]].

*** Even better when the Darkling ''isn't'' co-operative, and simply got [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punched out]] by a CrazyPrepared rival.
*** The darkling class will also remove all debt, in journey at least. Depending on how things go and when you get it, the class may just allow you to completely ruin the other players. Of course, it was designed for that purpose - and can be especially satisfying against [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Hard]] CPU opponents.

* GameBreaker: The Alchemist class can multiply useful items at random, and its Alchemy ability allows you to rack up ''ridiculous'' amounts of money. They have small inventories to compensate, but it doesn't help much.

*** The Darkling class, if paired with a cooperative player, results in someone getting GameBreaker equipment for the rest of the game without having to worry about the equipment reverting. Of course, if four people are cooperating together, high-level players will throw fights against low-level players JUST to even out the levels.

* SequelDisplacement: This series is actually based on a pair of highly obscure dungeon crawlers for the GameBoyColor and GameBoyAdvance released all the way back in 2001. Never heard of 'em? Don't worry--aside from the MascotMook and the skeleton of the battle system, they have almost nothing in common.
** What do you mean GameBoyColor & GameBoyAdvance? This series started [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/home/571182.html in 1994]] on the SuperFamicom and played like it does today! The GameBoyAdvance {{Spinoff}} was just the first of the series in the West!
*** Nope, it's still OlderThanTheyThink. Even that game was the SpiritualSuccessor to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlZuaSJib8 Hundred World Story]], a still-older party-boardgame-RPG for the original {{Famicom}}.

* CoolButInefficient: Super bounce, the Darkling defensive magic. It reflects back magic attacks for 4 times what it would deal to you. The problem is that your stats are so high with all the Darkling equipment that it'll usually reflect back nothing since you were never going to get hurt anyway. It can be practical if stolen by a normal player however.
