15	!!Tropes throughout the Series:
16
17	* AnthropomorphicFood: In case the title didn't give you an idea, all characters in the series are talking potatoes.
18	** ''We're in Space?!'' however '''expands''' this by including leeks, onions, carrots, pumpkins, cucumbers, eggs, cheese wedges, tofu, ginger, yam and durian, all of which are meant to represent alien races.
19	* CompanionCube: Subverted, Ren has a Mechanical arm with mind of it's own and is prone to make [[{{Pun}} punny]] remarks, but Ren hates it.
20	* GreenEyedMonster: In the original game, [[VideoGame/{{Hitman}} Agent 46]] grew to despise his business partner Batata; while his friend became a famous blacksmith and got to have a loving family, the only things 46 was good at were bookkeeping and being paid to "mash" other potatoes.
21	* TheGodsMustBeLazy: There's a DLC side-story for ''A Weapon Shop?!'' titled "Spud Tales: Journey to Olympus", in which Patata's workshop is tasked with helping Herclueless collect materials from the gods and forge gear to help him complete some trials.
22	* HalfIdenticalTwins: Ren and Rexa, the protagonists of ''A Spy Story?!''
23	* HelloInsertNameHere: The player can usually change the name of the protagonist, as well as their companion (such as the dog in ''A Weapon Shop?!'').
24	* NotQuiteDead: In the first game, Patata's grandfather turns out to be alive, though he had to go into hiding after his partner Agent 46 grew jealous and tried to kill him.
25	* OverlyLongName: The main character in ''A Weapon Shop?!'' is called Patatalata Kartoffel P. Aardappel Papa, though [[HelloInsertNameHere the player can choose anything to be his nickname,]] [[CanonName with the default being Patata]].
26	* RedOniBlueOni:
27	** Cassie and her sister Fay from ''We're in Space?!'', respectively. Cassie is [[GenkiGirl loud, childish, and tomboyish]], and her ship skills are primarily offense-oriented, whereas Fay is [[AloofDarkHairedGirl calm, smart, and grumpy]], and her ship skills are primarily defense-oriented.
28	** The twins Rexa and Ren from ''A Spy Story?!'', respectively as well.
29	* ShoutOut: Nearly every character in the series is a media reference combined with a potato pun, such as [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} POTaDOS]] and [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hairy Pota(to)]].
30	* TeamPet: In each game, after making some progress, the protagonists get a little pet that offers some sort of lesser benefit. In ''A Weapon Shop?!'' there's a Potato dog, in ''We're in Space?!'' a blue space cat, in ''What the Hell?!'' a winged pig thing, and in ''A Spy Story?!'' a flying hamster.
31	* TreacherousAdvisor: Agent 46 in the original, who takes a large cut out of the protagonist's profits, and later sides with the evil Spud Lord when Batata returns.
32	* UnexpectedInheritance: In the original game, Patata was a waiter at a restaurant before learning his grandfather was gone and that he'd inherited a blacksmith business.
