* WhenAllElseFailsGoRight: Subverted. The opening screen gives you the choice of two separate paths to take, and while its necessary to go right to get a key to unlock one of four doors midway through, the route is otherwise a dead end--thus, going left lets you access the rest of the pyramid.

The opening screen gives you the choice of two separate paths to take, and while its necessary to go right to get a key to unlock one of four doors midway through, the route is otherwise a dead end--thus, going left lets you access the rest of the pyramid. Played straight in Level 2, where only the right half of the pyramid is open to explore.

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: Nearly every room layout gets recycled at some point as you journey into the ruin, just with item/hazard placements and color palette changed up.



* FakeDifficulty: A lot of the games challenge comes from the very stiff jumping controls and relentless physics and levels designed specifically to work against this handicap.

* CollisionDamage: Panama Joe is toast if he touches ANY hazard. Ditto if an enemy touches Panama Joe, unless it is Level 5 or higher, where the enemies can ONLY be beaten by the sword. (Except for the snake, which, after Level 5, is invincible.)

* FlipScreenScrollingFlipScreenScrolling: Does so when you go from room to room.


Added DiffLines:

* HardModePerks: Choosing Level 2 or 3 will make the game a lot less linear -- and subsequently, much easier as you can ignore one of the ''very hard'' segments in Level 1 that requires a lot of timing and dexterity to get through. On the other hand, you can't continue if you lose all your lives.
