* MagicIsRareHealthIsCheap: Notably, the only Mother game to [[{{Inverted}} invert]] this trope: there is only one PP-restoring item in the game, the Psi Stone, which heals 20 PP, and while it cannot be bought in any store, it can be reused multiple times, found around in the game world and is dropped by various enemies, including the relatively common Starmen. By contrast, the HP-restoring item you will be using the most is the [[HealingHerb Magic Herb]], which heals 30-HP and will eventually become obsolete once Nintent and his party grow a bigger health pool. Most other items that restore HP heals as much or less than the Magic Herb, and the few ones that heal more (The Hambuger heals 50, the Sport Drink heals 100 and the Life Up Cream fully heals you) are incredibly rare to find and/or expensive to buy. You ''do'' eventually meet someone that gives away an infinite supply of Life Up Cream, but only once you are at the base of [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Mt. Itoi]].

* BigDamnHeroes: After [=R70038=] nearly defeats the party (and severely injures [[spoiler:Teddy]]), Lloyd shows up and destroys it with a ''tank''.
