* TransformingMecha: One of the bosses is a gigantic robot that starts off as a tank, before suddenly standing upright into a bipedal form, and then crouching again turning into [[CyberneticMythicalBeast a robotic dragon]]. What's even more impressive is that you assume it's mechanical for the entire first phase - but then its second phase [[UnroboticReveal shows that there's a pulsating heart inside]].

Whoops, double checked and it's actually Kob En.


** Completing Maharishi gets you one of three items. The one that lets you go to Koban requires you to destroy an out-of-the-way monument that doesn't look destructible at first glance. With the other two, it seems to be purely luck-based.

* AutoScrollingLevel: One of the last levels, where Flap grants you a flying platform that keeps speeding ahead. You control it to move left and right to collect power-ups and dodge obstacles, and occasionally mooks on platforms of their own will get in your way.



* ExposedToTheElements: Lampshaded before the Dark Corridor stage, set in a frozen wasteland, with Galahad commenting on Elaine's [[{{Stripperific}} attire]].
--> '''Elaine''': It looks rather cold inside.\\
'''Galahad''': You should put on more clothes.\\
'''Elaine''': ...it's none of your business.



* FloatingContinent: The titular Gaiapolis is a floating city consisting of multiple platforms in the clouds.



* LightIsGood: The mysterious Fire Warrior, clad in fiery armor greets you early in the game and guides you through levels, and provides you assistance throughout before revealing himself to be a sacred [[ThePhoenix phoenix]]. He remains an ally all the way throughout the game.



* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: The Minotaur boss, who has four arms and a ShockwaveStomp ability, serves as a difficult boss halfway through.

* {{Oculothorax}}: Clusters of floating eyeballs, all fused into a single entity, are a recurring enemy throughout the game.

Added DiffLines:

* DraconicAbomination: After the King of Darkness is slain, he then reveals the game's TrueFinalBoss - a dragon-demon hybrid creature summoned from the depths of hell to continue battling.


Added DiffLines:

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Zombie enemies will have their upper bodies melting into green gunk upon being slain. And somehow that's ''not'' enough to kill them - they continue attacking as a pair of legs with nothing above the waist.
* MarathonBoss: The DraconicAbomination boss, last one you'll face in the game, has '''60''' layers of lives. And you're unable to harm it half the time when it's spamming its fiery breath all over the place (you'll need to wait until the monster pauses, where it's vulnerable). Make yourself comfortable, this battle is going to be a ''long'' one.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: This game has crocodile-men enemies larger than the players, who regularly pounces out of areas with water to attack.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Areista is set in a massive graveyard. You encounter zombie enemies here for the first time, and they populate at least two-thirds of the whole stage.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: The Minotaur boss, who has four arms and a ShockwaveStomp ability, serves as a difficult boss halfway through.
