** [[spoiler:The cameo of Music/NinjaSexParty in Part 2 introduces "Oh My God, The Captain Is Back," while glitching towards different music genres from country, gospel, death metal, jazz, and more.]]

** [[spoiler:The cameo of Music/NinjaSexParty in Part 2 introduces "Oh My God, The Captain Is Back," while glitching towards different music genres from country, gospel, heavy metal, jazz, and more.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The main theme is a powerful DarkReprise of Music/TheGregoryBrothers' "Space Is Cool", a song about Markiplier's love for space. [[spoiler: In one route during Part 2, you even get to watch Mark perform a full lyrical version, "Space Was Cool".]]

* TearJerker: Old Mark's appearances in Part 2: when you meet him in the diner, he wearily talks about how he regrets everything he did, how tired he is and how long he's been trying to fix things, and yet all he seems to do is make them worse. [[spoiler: The second time, he's not regretful, he's ''resigned'', even relieved, to finally have the end in sight, even if it wasn't what he'd hoped for. He reminisces on his time with the Captain, and even tries to comfort them before fading away.]]
--> '''Old Mark''': For what it's worth, [[ItHasBeenAnHonor I'm glad I got to share this adventure with you.]]

* JerkassWoobie: The Lady. She's a RabidCop who repeatedly chases down the Captain with the intent to kill them, but she's only doing so because she's convinced they're out to destroy the universe and is desperate to stop them. Hints of her [[IntriguedByHumanity true]] [[GenkiGirl personality]] are easy to spot beneath the surface, indicating that she'd likely be a friend under different circumstances. [[spoiler: Her final scene in Part 2 is quite sad, with her slowly dying of unspecified wounds while apologizing for her actions, having realized she was wrong, urging the Captain not to give up hope, and letting them hold her hand as she ([[DisneyDeath apparently]]) expires.]]

** On the flip side, Young Mark's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realization]] that [[spoiler: he was responsible for the paradox in the first place]]. He's not just upset to learn this, he's outright ''devastated'', collapsing into tears and giving the Captain a quiet, broken apology. It's made even worse by Mark [[HeReallyCanAct acting the hell out of the moment]].

** "Hell yeah!" Mark's enthusiastic reaction every time you let him jump back into the wormhole, even though [[spoiler:it gruesomely kills him every single time he does it]]. His [[GrinOfAudacity expression]] in the thumbnail also qualifies.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: The duology has Mark in his most dramatic, emotional, and challenging role yet… and he absolutely knocks it out of the park. The Part 2 finale is where he really gets to shine, since we get ''two'' gripping scenes with him back-to-back: the scene with [[spoiler:Old Mark in the empty diner]], and the climax with [[spoiler:Young Mark tearfully realizing that ''he'' created the wormhole]]. Both scenes are incredibly heartbreaking and impactful, and Mark pulls it off wonderfully.

* EvilIsSexy: The Bandit, while more unscrupulous than evil, is a criminal alien who has already attracted many fans with her confident attitude and appearance. The scene where she gets very close to the viewer and strokes their hand is especially of note.

* NightmareFuel:
** Wug's voice-downloading helmet appears to inflict unironic agony on whoever he attaches it to. [[spoiler:If you open the door to take the supposed "Dark" path when the door offers it to you, Wug's newest attempts to attach the helmet to Markiplier causes the camera to see gruesome flashes of body parts like an eyeball and teeth]].
** The HandPuppet universe segment in several endings, where the regular crew have all become deranged to a greater or lesser extent.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: One minor criticism of ''[[WebVideo/AHeistWithMarkiplier Heist]]'' was that, since the runtime of each decision was [[InterfaceSpoiler visible]] to the audience ahead of time, it was fairly easy to guess which path would lead to a death. Since ''Space'' takes a [[ResurrectiveImmortality different approach]] to its deaths, the runtimes don't necessarily give them away anymore.
