* DisguisedHorrorStory: [[spoiler:The game presents itself as a fun, colourful family-friendly experience featuring Muppet-like fuzzy characters catching adorable food-shaped insects...then it all gets thrown out of the window once the Reporter reaches the Undersnax, where it's revealed that the titular Bugsnax are dangerous assimilating parasites down to ''the island itself'' which is comprised of previous Grumpus settlers who got infected and converted into more Bugsnax.]]



* FantasticFruitsAndVegetables: Snaktooth Island's local strange flora are the "Sauce Flowers", which bear fruit and nuts [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance which look exactly like bottles and jars you'd see in a supermarket]] such as ketchup fruits having markings similar to a Heinz-style white lid and a label and the peanut butter nuts shaped like jars and having blue lid-like markings.



* FeaturelessProtagonist: The only attributes the player character has are their arms, lower body, and fur color.

* SequelHook: The after-credits sequence. [[spoiler:Clumby is speaking with an unknown figure on the phone about the player and Filbo, and after telling him that she doesn't know if they suspect anything, the figure tells her to keep an eye on them, and the two recite an ominous Latin chant, implying the that Snorpy was on to something with his suspicions about a secret society. Also, a single Strabby stowed away [[OhCrap on the airboat home]].]]

** If a trap or gadget is deployed in the wrong spot the player can just remotely destroy it and have a new one in their paws, no need to go pick it up. Similarly, if a rampaging snak destroys a tool the player can just spawn a new one.



* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: With the [[PlotArmor exception]] of the main character and Filbo, any of the Grumpuses in Snaxburg can die in the finale if they eat too many Bugsnax and are subsequently absorbed into the island]].

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Breaking your tools and traps isn't a problem in normal gameplay, as the player can instantly produce replacements. In fact, remotely destroying a misplaced trap is the only way to place it somewhere else! However, [[spoiler: falling into the Undersnax smashes all your gear]], and you can't get it back.

Snorpy finally works up the nerve to ask Chandlo if he wants to be his boyfriend... only for a confused Chandlo to point out they've been dating for years, ever since they made out on a Ferris wheel and moved in together. Snorpy was just too clueless to catch on. Chandlo kisses him to clear things up.]]
