* BrokenAesop: The [[TheSocialDarwinist Survival of the Fittest]] Aesop gets mangled when the Crystals come into play. After the first era, each era's enemy species use the Crystals to become more powerful and overcome their opposition, so that they can survive in a world of pitiless evolutionary struggle, and they're treated as bad for doing so. Meanwhile, Life uses the crystals as well, [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality and isn't condemned for it]].

* SoundtrackDissonance: The music for choosing a dead end evolution NonStandardGameOver is mostly light hearted as though you only made a small oppsie.... even in endings where you die horribly, get enslaved or cause all life on earth to be wiped out

* OlderThanTheyThink: The SNES game itself is heavily based on a much older game by Enix called ''46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinka Ron'' (''"4.6 Billion Year Story: The Theory of Evolution"''), released only in Japan in 1990 on the UsefulNotes/PC98.

* CompleteMonster: [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] in the UsefulNotes/PC98 game is far more evil than the villains of the UsefulNotes/{{SNES}} successor. Having [[OmnicidalManiac tricked numerous civilizations in the solar system into destroying themselves]], most recently on the moon, Lucifer now intends to do the same on Earth. She starts at the beginning of life by [[HatePlague driving numerous fish insane and destroying the peaceful nature of a small fish village]]. Later, her attempts to kill everyone become more direct, culminating in singlehandedly causing the extinction of the dinosaurs before gloating to Gaia, the embodiment of the Earth, that she killed everyone. In the last main chapter, after learning that there's still life around, she provokes a war between two colonies of Lunarian survivors by making one of them, Atlantis, obsessed with destroying everything, starting with the rival colony of Mu. This results in the destruction of both colonies. After her defeat and the establishment of human civilization, she gathers power for one last attempt to kill everyone in modern times, resulting in the destruction of the Moon and, consequently, the death of Gaia's sister, before Lucifer is finally killed for good.

Broken Record isn't YMMV


* BrokenRecord: As a general rule, any music in the SNES game that is a remix from the UsefulNotes/PC98 original soundtrack will be good or awesome, but most new songs created for the SNES game will be this. Worst of all is the "Dinosaur's Land" theme, a TEN-SECOND riff that is repeated over...and over...and over. And has FOUR different variations. And tends to show up in the most [[LevelGrinding grind-heavy]] sections of the game. Players may wish to mute these parts. The few examples of SNES original music that avert this is the fittingly laidback [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TskNPZobUaM Amphibian land theme]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L1KGwyv6CU foreboding Insect Territories theme]], and the beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsXB4D1PDn0 Asteroid Belt theme]].

** The key to boss battles is to go in with a lot of EVO points so you can restore your HP. However, you're bound to run out eventually and die; and your punishment for dying is to lose those very same EVO points. This leads to tons of grinding or forced SaveScumming.

Added DiffLines:

* SelfImposedChallenge: Beating the game as a dinosaur, mainly because the Ice Age is [[SlippySlideyIceWorld slippy-slidey]] for them, and unlike birds they can't get around that by flying. Also, they're somewhat weaker than mammals, and ''far'' less agile.
