12* AdaptationExpansion: In order to justify the animal mooks inside the castle's west wing, ''Roar of the Beast'' explains in an introductory cutscene that, after a sudden storm, "enchanted animals" (which include bats, snakes, rats, a bear and a boar) have flocked to the castle.
13* AnotherSideAnotherStory: ''Roar of the Beast'' is a loose retelling of the movie's story with the focus on the Beast, while ''Belle's Quest'' retells the story from Belle's POV.
14* BearsAreBadNews: The first mini-boss is a large brown bear.
15* DarkerAndEdgier: This game has none of the bright and colorful design of its counterpart game, taking place within the Beast's castle and involves some of the more tense settings of the movie.
16* FinalBoss: Gaston awaits the player atop the rooftop of the Castle, and its up to you to take him out.
17* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: The Beast can walk on all fours, as well as assume a bipedal stance. This does not affect gameplay at all, but it is easy to hit the floor-level enemies like this.
18* FullBoarAction: The boss of stage 1, whose battle occurs in the room with the enchanted rose, is a large red-furred boar.
19* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: In the last stage, the Beast has to climb up the rooftops of his castle to reach Gaston.

23* MiniGame: After the second level, the game places the Beast in a mini-game where he has to collected falling rose petals.
24* PointOfNoContinues: The game provides [[MeaninglessLives unlimited continues]]... up until the FinalBoss battle with Gaston, at which point the game kicks the player back to the title screen upon losing their last life. Not helping matters is that this battle is followed by a BrutalBonusLevel with little margin for error [[spoiler:and NoEnding outside of the credits sequence]].
25* RooftopConfrontation: The second-to-last stage is the battle with Gaston atop the castle.
26* SavageWolves: The second boss is a large wolf with gray fur.
