Apathetic Citizens: Used painfully straight in the beginning of the game, then subverted later in the swamp level, where the peasants, encouraged by your violent bravery, join you in fights and even then, you have to lure the Corn Boss into attacking them to actually have them join you in fighting the monstrosity.In fact, some characters' 'magic' is dropping a volley of arrows on their opponent's heads from on top of them, thus actually requiring magic increases to get stronger. If a player increases their Agility during their level-ups, however, their arrows can do a decent amount of damage comparable to magic damage. Being that just about everyone is Made of Iron in this game, arrows seem to do very little damage to people, and if you're fighting a whole mess of Thieves, arrows are more than enough to drive someone mad. Annoying Arrows: Played straight for enemy arrows, and both subverted and played straight for players' arrows.The other princes may or may not be holding the other Princesses for marriage. And Now You Must Marry Me: The leader of the Coneheads is attempting to forcibly marry the Green Princess against her will when you show up.An Ice Person: The Ice King, the Blue Knight, and the Icekimoes.

And I Must Scream: The Weapons Frog (look at its eyes), but it's untied for the ending sequence.It's all swirly and purple and black and. Amazing Technicolor Battlefield: The Wizard's Castle has one hell of an odd background.Agent Peacock: Pink Knight uses The Power of Love-based magic, and has a valentine motif.In a following sequence, this troll becomes a type A boss, which you will fight in a variant of the Minecart Madness level.

The first time it is encountered, you simply run.

Advancing Boss of Doom: Several times, you are running away from a troll large enough that its eyes alone are the size of two players each.

A Day in the Limelight: The Grey Knight is one of the King's Red Shirts.

A more specific example is that the Castle Keep shopkeeper still charges you to buy items, even though you just beat up a bunch of Barbarians that were threatening him. The Insane Store's costs were greatly toned down in the Remastered Version, however, the highest price being 1500 gold.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: You'll need quite a few playthroughs in order to be able to afford all the weapons and Animal Orbs in the game, with the Insane Store having costs of up to 5500 gold.

The game has up to about 30 playable characters (unlockables and DLC included). Those extra levels come real handy in Insane Mode, however. One can beat the game at around Level 30 as long as you didn't neglect strength.

Absurdly High Level Cap: Each character maxes out at Level 99.
