* AllJustADream: Well, the game DOES take place in a Dream World...
* AmbidextrousSprite: Not just for characters and enemies, but attacks as well.
* {{Backtracking}}: You have to travel between each of the different areas several times, exploring all the paths so that [[spoiler: you can check the giant egg on each one]].
* BottomlessPits: Common in the sky areas and the endgame.
* CharacterCustomization: With 24 head possibilities, 16 body possibilities, and 8 weapons, there's over 3,000 possible character combinations. On top of that, all the different heads, bodies, and weapons actually effect how the game is played, affecting how fast your character is and how many HitPoints they have.
* CharacterSelectForcing: Certain body types have incredibly useful/important abilities.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Harvest Moon and Flint lose interest in killing you after you defeat them and become your allies. No such luck with Titania, Ice DRagon, or the Joker.
* DifficultySpike: One level has you [[PlatformHell navigate a place filled with cacti by jumping on flowers that open and shut.]] One mis-step or mis-jump lands you in Cacti that causes massive damage. If you don't have access to a flying character, this is [[UpToEleven beyond]] NintendoHard.
** One consolation is that flowers do not close if you're standing on them. The jumps are still very hard anyway.

* SantaClaus: Has been frozen in a block of ice by the evil Ice Dragon. We did mention that this is a [[{{Wackyland}} dream world]], right?
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Strangely, the game is named after neither you or the princess you're trying to save. It's named after Cocoron, a fairy-like child who is ''also'' a captive. You don't even see him until the end; instead being advised by his brother Cocorin.
* [[spoiler:TreacherousAdvisor:]] [[spoiler:Guess who.]]
