* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[AwesomeMusic/MrGimmick Has its own page]].
* BreatherLevel: The secret stage.
* CultClassic: It's a hardcore platformer that was released at the end of the Famicom's life and never got published overseas, so most people either don't know the game or derisively compare it to ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' -- which it ''predates''. Still, it is all-around competent and even people like Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto felt like it is worthy of praise.
-->"[[http://www.glitterberri.com/developer-interviews/making-mr-gimmick/ And there I was]], thinking I’d get a good response for making a next-gen game on the original Nintendo!"
* ItsHardSoItSucks: Back in the day the game got a poor score in the Famitsu magazine because of its difficulty.
* OlderThanTheyThink: A ''Kirby'' knockoff? Nope. This game was released 2-3 months before Kirby's debut.
* SurpriseDifficulty: NintendoHard is in full force here despite the cutesy aesthetic.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Not a lot of people are happy with some changes made for the ''exAct☆Mix'', such as the final boss being replaced by a completely different character.
* VindicatedByHistory: When the game was originally released, it got mixed or negative reviews due to its difficulty. Retrospective reviews were less harsh to it, however, and nowadays it's seen as a legitimately good game.

Two if you count Kirby's early cameo in Arcana.

It's not a YMMV trope


* JustForFun/SurprisinglySimilarCharacters: Yumetaro and Kirby came to life one after the other, and aside from being cute blobs in dreamy worlds they both have a star motif and use them as means of transportation.

** Really, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU0GEcU63qw entire soundtrack]] can qualify. Thanks to a built-in chip that allowed for additional channels, the sound displays a level of complexity rivaled by very few other games of its time.
** Special mention goes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knik6QqDJJ0 "Strange Memories of Death"]], a very complex and multi-layered song, that was unfortunately [[CutSong cut out.]]
