Added DiffLines:

* AnticlimaxBoss: Certain mice are easy to catch and yield enormous rewards of points and gold, but getting into position to catch them is very difficult and requires a lot of time and expensive cheese.
** The Eclipse Mouse, if you have the right weapon. With a description stating that it is [[DarkIsEdgy darkness and fear itself]], it sure doesn't put up much of a fight if you wield the [[spoiler: Ancient Box Trap]]. In fact, his difficulty rating is "Effortless" is you do so -- the lowest possible.
** The [[ChessMotifs Mystic King, Technic King, and Chessmaster]] mice are much easier to capture than the respective Mystic/Technic Rooks or Queens, just like a real chess game.

* ScrappyMechanic: '''Cursed City Minigame.''' It requires the player to actively switch between 3 charms after each successful catch to dispel 3 curses to allow another mouse with better loot to be attracted, but Corrupt mice can waltz in at anytime and reset all the curses, even if he's caught. After successfully dispelling all 3 curses, yo uare given a grace period of 3 hunts where Corrupt can not be attracted, but after that, Corrupt will reset all your work when attracted. Some take days to even manage dispelling all 3 curses.
** Made worse when you're hunting for the Dark Magi boss. He can only be attracted after dispelling all 3 curses and equipping a charm, and that charm will also cause only one other mouse to be attracted: The Corrupt.

** Many Limited Edition traps have respectable Power and stupidly high Luck. Luck ''also'' determines whether or not you succeed in catching a mouse, ''and'' the chance for a mouse to drop items. Of note are the Partybot (Physical), Chrome Deathbot/Drillbot (Physical), Giant Speaker/2010 Blastoff/Rewer's Riposte (Tactical), and Kraken Chaos/Double Diamond Adventure (Hydro)

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The painting of their father is moody throughout the film, but then magically changes to a grin, when the sons finally work together for real. In intention, a beautiful event to show the father being proud of his sons even after death, but ''the goddamn painting changes through supernatural forces''. Not intentionally scary, but if you think about it, it's chilling.
** And as proof of YMMV, this same moment can also come across as intended, as a wonderful CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Particularly when paired with the [[AnAesop recurring theme]] of "teamwork and sharing are good things", Ernie [[WellDoneSonGuy finally earning his father's pride]], and the ArcWords "A world without string is chaos."

* FridgeHorror: The Warmonger mouse sends in the [[NewMeat new recruits]] on the first wave before sending in the more experienced soldiers on the next two. In short, the inexperienced mice who wanted to join (or were forced to join) his army are literally being sent to an early death!
** Justified for the new scouts, as they are "trained" by being [[TrainingFromHell thrown directly into the first wave of the battle instead of spending months on the training grounds]].
** The whole concept of catching and killing thousands of sentient living beings. Some of those traps are horrifyingly cruel.

** Harpy Mice in the Lagoon. Players would've most likely brought either a Physical, Tactical or Hydro trap, while their main weakness is Shadow. Their mouse power is very high. The Harpy's description reads:
--> "Hunter's lore describes these mice as a curse, bringing bad luck and fruitless hunts. Hunters lament at the eerie caw of a Harpy mouse descending from the clouds, knowing that escape is impossible. Harpy mice exist to torture MouseHunters by constantly stealing their cheese and raiding their supplies. Their swift wings bring a dark plague of frustration to any hunter unfortunate enough to encounter them"
** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] mice in the Mousoleum and the Catacombs. They give you very little gold and points compared to the other mice there. If they happen to steal your gold, they steal a lot more than the other mice.
* GameBreaker:
** Many Limited Edition traps have respectable Power and stupidly high Luck. Luck ''also'' determines whether or not you succeed in catching a mouse, ''and'' the chance for a mouse to drop items. Of note are the Partybot (Physical), Chrome Deathbot/Drillbot (Physical), Giant Speaker/2010 Blastoff/Rewer's Riposte (Tactical), and Kraken Chaos/Double Diamond Adventure (Hydro)
** The Oasis Water Node trap, the Sphynx Wrath and ''especially'' the Sandstorm Monstrobot trump all of these. However, if you want those three traps, you will have to EarnYourFun.
