to:
* AgeLift: Giana and her sister Maria are aged down from teenagers (maybe early adults) to little girls.
* ArtifactTitle: ''Giana Sisters DS'' does not contain Giana's green-haired twin sister Maria, so "Sisters" is no longer accurate.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Maria was absent in the DS sequel. She is back in ''Twisted Dreams'', however.
* DerivativeDifferentiation: The original game was such a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' clone that Nintendo sued for plagiarism and got all copies taken off of shelves. This game features almost none of the similarities besides the two series being platformers.
* EmbeddedPrecursor: ''Giana Sisters DS'' has every level from the original ''Great Giana'' Sisters as an unlockable.
* FieryRedhead: Punk Giana in ''DS'' is a literal case as she can also shoot fire.
* NintendoHard: ''Giana Sisters DS'' has a number of incredibly tough segments. Imagine a ''Mario'' game with no running, fireballs that don't bounce, and loads of bottomless pits and instant-kill hazards and you're about halfway there.
