• Mix-and-Match Critter: The Woodimals that inhabit the New Kidadelphia layer.
• One-Steve Limit: Thoroughly averted with every generic NPC being named Justin so Justin doesn’t have to come up with a new character voice.
• Parental Substitute: Montrose serves as one for Toddzilla near the end of the campaign.
• Teaser-Only Character: Crystal Withakay
• Teenage Wasteland: The layer of New Kidadelphia.
