Go To

  • Game-Breaker: As mentioned in the main page, Miss Darling/Gennifer is the absolute strongest form you can take in the game. She runs fast, jumps very high, has a massive health pool, and has the strongest attack possible - a ridiculously powerful laser gun (that is otherwise only available to the Laser Soldier, who is an Infinity -1 Sword that's difficult to find) that not only wrecks all of the game's remaining enemies in a single blow, but will absolutely humiliate the Final Boss. It makes it worth the effort to find the keys needed to rescue her.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The game's possessing mechanic is remarkably funny in light of Super Mario Odyssey, 27 real-life years later, which has a similar premise. The protagonist's ghost form kinda looks like Cappy, and the game's urban levels feel like they came out from the New Donk City.
  • Tear Jerker: The very premise. A normal stroll with the protagonist and his girlfriend ends up turning completely tragic when mafia goons kidnap the girlfriend and kill the protagonist. It doesn't get any better at the game's end, as no matter what ending you get, not only does the protagonist not get his body back, but he ends up having to leave his girlfriend and move on to the afterlife as he is still a ghost. Even the wedding scene on Expert Mode is bittersweet, as the spirit protagonist watches his girlfriend marry but can't share in it.
