** When returning the food Snuff's been stealing to Poorluck Village, a young girl praises Kingsley for his efforts. Kingsley takes it proudly until the girl mentions she can have all the chocolate he wants, at which point Kingsley invokes this on himself and retracts his statement.

* CameraScrew: While you can change how you look at things with the L1 button, you can't use the right analog stick to move the camera to see everything around, which can make the game more annoying than it already is.

Nice Hat is now a disambig.


* EvilChef: Bad Custard wears a [[NiceHat chef hat]] at all times, [[spoiler:and fights with a soup spoon when he's not flinging Queen Angelica's magic at you. His arena is a giant kitchen, to boot]].

Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.


* DummiedOut: Extra dialog exists in the game files for the prisoners in Reggie's Castle, implying that it should be possible to free them, but you can't.
** There's also a refrigerator in one of the cells. The official website states that there's someone trapped inside that you can free, but it's actually just [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment nonsensical set dressing]].

Added DiffLines:

* TurnsRed: Played with. Boss strategies change when they're down to 1/3 of their health or less. They actually lose most of their moveset (e.g.: Gallagher stops firing his cannons, Clarence Darklord stops flying, etc.), in exchange for directly attacking Kingsley and having a slightly less-open window to retaliate if you block them.

* FrothyMugsOfWater: There's an abbey with monks who concern themselves with brewing root-beer. The level music uses sounds of spoons hitting bottles and bottle-blowing. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar The king and queen even wonder if they've been getting too rowdy because of it]]. Make of that what you will.

* Skewed Priorities: Two of the Dark Knights. The first is an eagle who was turned into a condor and thought the whole experience was a nightmare about him going bald. The second is a bear who turned into a bulldog and hid himself in a honeycomb, and now considers it torture if he has to look at the stuff again.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: King Marius and Queen Angelica are pretty sensible rulers, [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything if a little inactive]]. Probably justified by the fact that anyone outside the castle grounds is a target for Bad Custard's magic.

Probably justified by the fact that anyone outside the castle grounds is a target for Bad Custard's magic. According to the game's manual, they also were poisoned by Bad Custard not to long prior to the game's events, so they might be a little weakened but still attentive to the needs and threats of the kingdom.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: Kingsley's an adorable fox-cub and the hero. He protects the good people of Fruit Kingdom ruled mostly by rabbits. The bosses are a walrus, a dragon, a vampire bat, and a weasel. The Dark Knights are a frog turned into a crocodile, a rabbit turned into a minotaur, an eagle turned into a condor/vulture, and a [[BearyFriendly bear]] turned into a bulldog. The game's main villain, Bad Custard, is a particularly nasty-looking rat.

* AllThereInTheManual: The game's manual spends the first few pages noting that Kingsley's an orphan being raised by the rabbit king and queen, Kingsley's father was a True Knight which is why Kingsley wants to be one, Old Wrinkle the badger's origins are unknown but he is Kingsley's trainer, and a little bit about Bad Custard poisoning the kingdom before he was driven off.

The game's opening cinematic reduces it to "Bad Custard cursed the kingdom and created the Dark Knights, and Kingsley's gonna be the one to stop it".
