Erina is just a normal, everyday rabbit. She loves her owner Rumi and her life on the peaceful Rabi Rabi Island. But one day, she wakes up in a strange place. What's more, besides her bunny ears and tail, she's become human! Now, with a help of her trusty [[WeaponOfChoice Piko Hammer]] and a [[FairyCompanion cheerful fairy]] named Ribbon, Erina must learn the cause of her transformation, while evading the bunny-obsessed members of the [=UPRPRC=]!
''Rabi-Ribi'' is a {{Metroidvania}} game developed by [=CreSpirit=] and published by [=SekaiProject=]. Featuring adorable pixel art and an ImprobablyFemaleCast, the game has you explore colorful levels and lets you fight enemies either up close and personal with Erina's Piko Hammer or at a distance using Ribbon's magic. The bosses, meanwhile, throw frantic BulletHell patterns at you and can often be [[NintendoHard brutally challenging.]]
The game was released for PC on January 28, 2016 and is available on Steam.

!!''Rabi-Ribi'' provides examples of:
* AbilityRequiredToProceed: Sometimes you need to have a certain ability (for example, Wall Jump) in order to get to other areas of the game. [[spoiler:That said, you don't exactly ''need'' the actual item...]] Subverted in a 0% run, as there are multiple assists added in (extra springs, suddenly-breakable walls, etc.) to allow players with literally nothing but Ribbon, a few amulets, and maybe a cake or two to go all the way to the end of the game.
* ActionGirl: Erina and Ribbon, as well as all of the bosses. It comes with the all-female cast.
* AloneWithThePsycho: Big time. You have to fight [[spoiler: Miru (possessed by Noah) in a [[RoomFullOfCrazy room full of crazy]] in an empty hospital in another world after she knocks out Ribbon.]]
* AmbidextrousSprite: Erina's stocking wanders from her right leg to the left and vice versa.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Pandora.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Seana, who is also an example of SirensAreMermaids trope.
* AutoSave: The game makes auto-saves from time to time, in a separate save slot from your standard save files.
* BalefulPolymorph: A milder example, but Erina is eager to go back to being a regular rabbit.
* BearyFriendly: Nieve and Nixie are cute bear girls. Unless you have to [[BewareTheNiceOnes fight]] [[BearsAreBadNews them]]...
* BellyDancer: Kotri, who utilizes different types of dance in combat to cast powerful spells. Also, when she changes dance styles, [[PowerDyesYourHair her hair colour changes too]].
* BigBad: Two of them.
** [[spoiler: Noah, who's responsible for sending Erina to the other world and turning her human. She's doing this with the intention of eventually replacing her.]]
** The TrueFinalBoss, [[spoiler: Irisu]], is a separate, unrelated BigBad. [[spoiler: She has nothing to do with the other world, but she ''is'' responsible for the UPRPRC.]]
* BigEater: Keke Bunny, who is also an ExtremeOmnivore.
* BossBonanza: Chapter 5's only enemies are an unusually hard boss who disables your projectiles followed by an even harder boss with 3 forms.
* BossRush: One of the unlockable game modes. Additionally, one of the post-game areas is almost entirely made up of the bosses you've beaten up to that point.
* BrokenBridge: Some areas of the game can be absolutely inaccessible until the plot tells you to go here.
* BrutalBonusLevel: All four of the post-game exclusive areas are this, but [[spoiler: the library]] really takes the cake.
* BulletHell: In a platform game, no less.
* ChargedAttack: All of Ribbon's magic attacks can be charged up.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: Cicini insists that her attacks and abilities are purely non-magical technology. Ribbon can't tell the difference.
* CrashIntoHello: That's how Erina and Ribbon first met.
* CuteWitch: Ashuri.
* {{Cyberspace}}: System Interior zone.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: How most major characters are recruited.
* DevelopersRoom: [[spoiler:[=CreSpirit=] HQ, which is full of developers' avatars. You can visit it only during your third journey to the human world.]]
* DieChairDie: [[spoiler:It's possible to destroy Cicini's chair and computer during her boss fight. You even get an achievement for doing so.]]
* DoubleJump: One of the abilities Erina can learn.
* DrivenByEnvy: [[spoiler: Irisu, who wanted to be Erina's master instead of Rumi. She created the UPRPRC so she could have a bunny of her own.]]
* DropTheHammer: Piko Hammer, one of Erina's weapons.
* EasyLevelsHardBosses: The levels themselves are mostly simple platforming, but the bosses can and will easily destroy you with their [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Touhou-esque]] BulletHell patterns.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Exotic Laboratory and [=UPRPRC=] HQ.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Apart from crazy [=UPRPRC=] bunny-lovers, there are living mushrooms and flowers, cute little ducks, dogs, fish, other fairies, [[spoiler:nerds (in human world)]], strange round and fluffy cat... things.
* {{Expy}}:
** Cocoa and Irisu greatly resemble Cocoa and Syaro from IsTheOrderARabbit.
** Ashuri is an expy of [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Marisa Kirisame]].
** There's a pair of {{catgirl}} sisters named Vanilla and Chocolate who have white and brown hair, respectively, a nod to Vanilla and Chocola from ''Nekopara'' who are also siblings with white and brown hair.
** Just like this game & Kirby 64 both have a pink-haired ribbon-wearing sidekick fairy co-star named Ribbon, both games have a boss that's just a rotating formation of gems launching projectiles that has an inanimate magic gem you need.
* FadeToBlack: Lilith has an attack that results in this. She stuns Erina with heart projectiles, then walks up to her and does...''something'' to her while the screen fades to black and Erina takes three hits for 69 damage each. Notably, this is one of the very few attacks whose damage doesn't scale with level (thus making it ThatOneAttack in a 0% run).
* FairySexy: Ribbon
* FakeUltimateMook: The dark area of Starting Forest has massive versions of some of the easiest minor enemies. They have a lot of health but the size increase makes them even easier than the standard versions because it negates their usual advantage which was that they were tiny enough to easily roll/leap past your attacks.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Erina wears one thigh-high sock on one of her legs.
* FinalExamBoss:
** Near the end of the fight with [[spoiler:Noah's first form]], she'll begin using patterns from some of the bosses you've already beaten.
** [[spoiler:Miriam]] as well. Her Super Attack summons illusions of the game's bosses one after the other, ending with [[spoiler: Miru.]]
* FrickinLaserBeams: The yellow magic, which continuously fires a piercing laser while it charges. Even though it deals very low damage, it's great for building your combo meter. Not so much for ''maintaining'' it, however...
* FunWithAcronyms: The UPRPRC stands for "Usagi [=PeRoPeRo=] Club".[[note]]"Usagi" is Japanese for rabbit, and "peropero" is Japanese onomatopoeia for licking[[/note]]
* GenreSavvy: Ribbon sheds this trait quite a bit before boss fights later on, commenting on the room's design and even mentioning that something's going to happen [[BreakingtheFourthWall because of a change in music.]]
* GodivaHair: Aruraune.
* GuideDangIt: Most achievements are very hard to get without using a special guide.
** Some attacks can't be dodged so the only way to avoid damage from them without using the bunny amulet or the super carrot is by jumping to turn them transparent or by not jumping if they're already transparent.
** At some parts, you have no quest so figuring out how to progress can be confusing.
* HealingShiv: The charged green magic fires homing projectiles that heal you a little bit if they hit an enemy.
* HornyDevils: Lilith, a succubus living in Sky-Island Town. She's notorious for spiriting away cute girls and comes on to Erina the moment she lays eyes on her.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Beyond Casual, Easy, Normal and Hard, there's Hell (unlocked after beating the game on Hard) and the aptly-named [[HarderThanHard Bunny Extinction Mode,]] unlocked after clearing the post-game on Hell difficulty. The Artbook also includes Unknown and Impossible difficulty.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: To the extreme. The only male characters that appear in the game ''at all'' are from the other world [[spoiler:and Plurkwood]].
* InvisibleToNormals: Saya, due to [[spoiler:her wind magic]]. Only a few characters can interact with her on a regular basis, and even then, there's a chance she still gets ignored.
* LittleBitBeastly: Erina, Cocoa, Vanilla, Chocolate, Kotri, Nieve, and Nixie. ''Not'' Irisu, though, as she's just a normal human wearing bunny ears. [[spoiler: Although [[DoubleSubverted it turns out she is a bunny after all]].]]
* LostForever: Some of the Easter Egg items only appear in the other world, and after you clear the main game, you can no longer go there again. Fortunately, they're only used to power the Rainbow Egg shooter and they're not required for 100%.
* MarathonBoss: [[spoiler: Miru, Noah,]] & most of the [[spoiler: post-game]] bosses, especially in New Game Plus.
* MarshmallowHell: Rumi subjects Erina to this the moment she sees her human form.
* MinimalistRun: There are achievements for completing the game without the Piko Hammer (your main mode of attack) and without getting any items.
* MsFanservice: Most of the cast.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: A common reason major characters try to attack Erina on sight. If they aren't impulse-attacking, then they're probably BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* NoHeroDiscount:
** Double Subverted: Miriam is fully willing to give Erina her wares for free, but Erina insists on paying like everyone else.
** Most of your allies play this trope straight, but only because the currency is energy that they need to make whatever they're offering to you.
* NoobCave: The aptly-named Starting Forest.
* NotBrainwashed: In Chapter 3, [[spoiler:Cocoa turns out to not be under the effect of the brainwashing spell; she was just testing her new weapons on Erina and Ribbon.]]
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler: Irisu has a deep affection for Erina (and bunnies in general). Unfortunately, she's cripplingly shy to the point that she runs away from her whenever she sees her. She also admits to being jealous of Rumi, as she wanted to be Erina's master instead. She formed the UPRPRC so she could have a bunny of her own, and admits that they took things too far.]]
* OutdoorBathPeeping: Ribbon blames [[spoiler:[[PeepingTom Ashuri]]]] for doing this while she was taking a bath.
* PatchworkMap
* PerpetualPoverty: Cocoa, allegedly from constantly needing to upgrade her bombs.
-->''Thank you for purchasing this artbook.\\
Your kindness has provided Cocoa with a carrot.\\
Another day, another meal.''
* PettingZooPeople: Besides regular humans and our bunny girl heroine, there are several catgirls, monster girls and the bear girl sisters Nieve and Nixie.
* PlantPerson: Aruraune.
* PlayboyBunny: Erina looks like one of these, although she's a bunny that was transformed into a human girl.
* PortalNetwork: You can use Warp Stones to travel across the land.
* PyramidPower: Golden Pyramid zone.
* Really700YearsOld: Pandora is about 1000 years old, despite looking so young.
* RobotMaid: A whole bunch of them can be fought in Exotic Laboratory and in System Interior. Also, [[spoiler:Syaro pretends to be one of these (but she is a human nonetheless)]]
* RoomFullOfCrazy: The arena where you fight the penultimate story boss. It's covered in [[spoiler:distorted drawings of bunnies]].
* SchmuckBait: The [[spoiler:System Interior]] has an area where [[MissionControl Cicini]] warns you that falling into the glowing red holes will hurt a lot. [[spoiler:Falling into the first one shortly afterwards will result in a OneHitKill and an achievement; fortunately, there's a SavePoint one room back.]]
* SequenceBreaking: Not only possible, but actually ''encouraged'', as the game gives many achievements for doing things out of order.
* SpikesOfDoom: A common type of trap during the game. Hitting them deals major damage to Erina, and enemies can be lured into them to wipe them out. You actually get an achievement for clearing the entire game without touching one. [[spoiler: No easy task, as the final BrutalBonusLevel is loaded with them.]]
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: Each major boss gets at least one. Erina also gets one when she uses her Bunny Amulet.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Erina and Ribbon have no problems with breathing underwater. Although, they tend to move very slow if you don't have a special item.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Quite a few of the girls, but Pandora, Kotri, and Seana especially come to mind. Kotri and Seana at least justify it by being a dancer and a mermaid, respectively. Pandora has no excuse. Rita actually points out the ChainmailBikini trope, talking about how less clothing equals more protection as if it were common knowledge.
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Irisu]], who only shows up in a locked area post-game. [[spoiler: She's also secretly the leader of the UPRPRC.]]
* UndergroundLevel: Spectral Cave zone.
* VaporWear: Keke Bunny. The only thing she wears under that cloak is a pair of panties.
* VariableMix: The music slows down when Erina is under the "Speed Down" status. It also slows down and additionally decreases in pitch whenever she goes underwater until you get the Water Orb.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential:
** The cocoa bombs you buy from Cocoa can be used to do meaningless damage to residents of Rabi Rabi Town & temporarily destroy buildings. If you do it to Cocoa, she takes a billion damage & stays in her taking cover animation & you get an achievement called <●> ω <●>.
** You can find some of the developers of the game & murder them. You even get an achievement for it. Their irrelevant responses bring to question whether or not they really die though.
** There's also an achievement for beating the game without saving Ribbon's friends.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: The description of the Art Book DLC says that a portion of all profits will be donated to Cocoa. If you buy it, the game tells you the money you spent bought her a carrot.
* WallJump: One of the abilities Erina can learn. You're limited to how many consecutive wall jumps you can make, but you can buy upgrades to increase the jump limit. [[spoiler: You can also perform it ''without'' the Wall Jump item.]]
* WorldOfBadass: All but one of the named characters are proficient magic users of some kind who can tank barrages of projectiles & beatings from a mallet. Two of the most common enemy types are humans using magic & fairies firing magic all over the place. Even most of the nonhostile NPCs are casually hanging out around crazy magicians & wild animals.

* AloneWithThePsycho: Big time. You have to fight [[spoiler: Miru (possessed by Noah) in a [[RoomFullOfCrazy room full of crazy]] in an empty hospital in another world after she knocks out Ribbon.]]
* AmbidextrousSprite: Erina's stocking wanders from her right leg to the left and vice versa.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Pandora.
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: Seana, who is also an example of SirensAreMermaids trope.
* AutoSave: The game makes auto-saves from time to time, in a separate save slot from your standard save files.
* BalefulPolymorph: A milder example, but Erina is eager to go back to being a regular rabbit.
* BearyFriendly: Nieve and Nixie are cute bear girls. Unless you have to [[BewareTheNiceOnes fight]] [[BearsAreBadNews them]]...
* BellyDancer: Kotri, who utilizes different types of dance in combat to cast powerful spells. Also, when she changes dance styles, [[PowerDyesYourHair her hair colour changes too]].
* BigBad: Two of them.
** [[spoiler: Noah, who's responsible for sending Erina to the other world and turning her human. She's doing this with the intention of eventually replacing her.]]
** The TrueFinalBoss, [[spoiler: Irisu]], is a separate, unrelated BigBad. [[spoiler: She has nothing to do with the other world, but she ''is'' responsible for the UPRPRC.]]
* BigEater: Keke Bunny, who is also an ExtremeOmnivore.
* BossBonanza: Chapter 5's only enemies are an unusually hard boss who disables your projectiles followed by an even harder boss with 3 forms.
* BossRush: One of the unlockable game modes. Additionally, one of the post-game areas is almost entirely made up of the bosses you've beaten up to that point.
* BrokenBridge: Some areas of the game can be absolutely inaccessible until the plot tells you to go here.
* BrutalBonusLevel: All four of the post-game exclusive areas are this, but [[spoiler: the library]] really takes the cake.
* BulletHell: In a platform game, no less.
* ChargedAttack: All of Ribbon's magic attacks can be charged up.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: Cicini insists that her attacks and abilities are purely non-magical technology. Ribbon can't tell the difference.
* CrashIntoHello: That's how Erina and Ribbon first met.
* CuteWitch: Ashuri.
* {{Cyberspace}}: System Interior zone.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: How most major characters are recruited.
* DevelopersRoom: [[spoiler:[=CreSpirit=] HQ, which is full of developers' avatars. You can visit it only during your third journey to the human world.]]
* DieChairDie: [[spoiler:It's possible to destroy Cicini's chair and computer during her boss fight. You even get an achievement for doing so.]]
* DoubleJump: One of the abilities Erina can learn.
* DrivenByEnvy: [[spoiler: Irisu, who wanted to be Erina's master instead of Rumi. She created the UPRPRC so she could have a bunny of her own.]]
* DropTheHammer: Piko Hammer, one of Erina's weapons.
* EasyLevelsHardBosses: The levels themselves are mostly simple platforming, but the bosses can and will easily destroy you with their [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Touhou-esque]] BulletHell patterns.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Exotic Laboratory and [=UPRPRC=] HQ.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Apart from crazy [=UPRPRC=] bunny-lovers, there are living mushrooms and flowers, cute little ducks, dogs, fish, other fairies, [[spoiler:nerds (in human world)]], strange round and fluffy cat... things.
* {{Expy}}:
** Cocoa and Irisu greatly resemble Cocoa and Syaro from IsTheOrderARabbit.
** Ashuri is an expy of [[VideoGame/TouhouProject Marisa Kirisame]].
** There's a pair of {{catgirl}} sisters named Vanilla and Chocolate who have white and brown hair, respectively, a nod to Vanilla and Chocola from ''Nekopara'' who are also siblings with white and brown hair.
** Just like this game & Kirby 64 both have a pink-haired ribbon-wearing sidekick fairy co-star named Ribbon, both games have a boss that's just a rotating formation of gems launching projectiles that has an inanimate magic gem you need.
* FadeToBlack: Lilith has an attack that results in this. She stuns Erina with heart projectiles, then walks up to her and does...''something'' to her while the screen fades to black and Erina takes three hits for 69 damage each. Notably, this is one of the very few attacks whose damage doesn't scale with level (thus making it ThatOneAttack in a 0% run).
* FairySexy: Ribbon
* FakeUltimateMook: The dark area of Starting Forest has massive versions of some of the easiest minor enemies. They have a lot of health but the size increase makes them even easier than the standard versions because it negates their usual advantage which was that they were tiny enough to easily roll/leap past your attacks.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Erina wears one thigh-high sock on one of her legs.
* FinalExamBoss:
** Near the end of the fight with [[spoiler:Noah's first form]], she'll begin using patterns from some of the bosses you've already beaten.
** [[spoiler:Miriam]] as well. Her Super Attack summons illusions of the game's bosses one after the other, ending with [[spoiler: Miru.]]
* FrickinLaserBeams: The yellow magic, which continuously fires a piercing laser while it charges. Even though it deals very low damage, it's great for building your combo meter. Not so much for ''maintaining'' it, however...
* FunWithAcronyms: The UPRPRC stands for "Usagi [=PeRoPeRo=] Club".[[note]]"Usagi" is Japanese for rabbit, and "peropero" is Japanese onomatopoeia for licking[[/note]]
* GenreSavvy: Ribbon sheds this trait quite a bit before boss fights later on, commenting on the room's design and even mentioning that something's going to happen [[BreakingtheFourthWall because of a change in music.]]
* GodivaHair: Aruraune.
* GuideDangIt: Most achievements are very hard to get without using a special guide.
** Some attacks can't be dodged so the only way to avoid damage from them without using the bunny amulet or the super carrot is by jumping to turn them transparent or by not jumping if they're already transparent.
** At some parts, you have no quest so figuring out how to progress can be confusing.
* HealingShiv: The charged green magic fires homing projectiles that heal you a little bit if they hit an enemy.
* HornyDevils: Lilith, a succubus living in Sky-Island Town. She's notorious for spiriting away cute girls and comes on to Erina the moment she lays eyes on her.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Beyond Casual, Easy, Normal and Hard, there's Hell (unlocked after beating the game on Hard) and the aptly-named [[HarderThanHard Bunny Extinction Mode,]] unlocked after clearing the post-game on Hell difficulty. The Artbook also includes Unknown and Impossible difficulty.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: To the extreme. The only male characters that appear in the game ''at all'' are from the other world [[spoiler:and Plurkwood]].
* InvisibleToNormals: Saya, due to [[spoiler:her wind magic]]. Only a few characters can interact with her on a regular basis, and even then, there's a chance she still gets ignored.
* LittleBitBeastly: Erina, Cocoa, Vanilla, Chocolate, Kotri, Nieve, and Nixie. ''Not'' Irisu, though, as she's just a normal human wearing bunny ears. [[spoiler: Although [[DoubleSubverted it turns out she is a bunny after all]].]]
* LostForever: Some of the Easter Egg items only appear in the other world, and after you clear the main game, you can no longer go there again. Fortunately, they're only used to power the Rainbow Egg shooter and they're not required for 100%.
* MarathonBoss: [[spoiler: Miru, Noah,]] & most of the [[spoiler: post-game]] bosses, especially in New Game Plus.
* MarshmallowHell: Rumi subjects Erina to this the moment she sees her human form.
* MinimalistRun: There are achievements for completing the game without the Piko Hammer (your main mode of attack) and without getting any items.
* MsFanservice: Most of the cast.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: A common reason major characters try to attack Erina on sight. If they aren't impulse-attacking, then they're probably BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* NoHeroDiscount:
** Double Subverted: Miriam is fully willing to give Erina her wares for free, but Erina insists on paying like everyone else.
** Most of your allies play this trope straight, but only because the currency is energy that they need to make whatever they're offering to you.
* NoobCave: The aptly-named Starting Forest.
* NotBrainwashed: In Chapter 3, [[spoiler:Cocoa turns out to not be under the effect of the brainwashing spell; she was just testing her new weapons on Erina and Ribbon.]]
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler: Irisu has a deep affection for Erina (and bunnies in general). Unfortunately, she's cripplingly shy to the point that she runs away from her whenever she sees her. She also admits to being jealous of Rumi, as she wanted to be Erina's master instead. She formed the UPRPRC so she could have a bunny of her own, and admits that they took things too far.]]
* OutdoorBathPeeping: Ribbon blames [[spoiler:[[PeepingTom Ashuri]]]] for doing this while she was taking a bath.
* PatchworkMap
* PerpetualPoverty: Cocoa, allegedly from constantly needing to upgrade her bombs.
-->''Thank you for purchasing this artbook.\\
Your kindness has provided Cocoa with a carrot.\\
Another day, another meal.''
* PettingZooPeople: Besides regular humans and our bunny girl heroine, there are several catgirls, monster girls and the bear girl sisters Nieve and Nixie.
* PlantPerson: Aruraune.
* PlayboyBunny: Erina looks like one of these, although she's a bunny that was transformed into a human girl.
* PortalNetwork: You can use Warp Stones to travel across the land.
* PyramidPower: Golden Pyramid zone.
* Really700YearsOld: Pandora is about 1000 years old, despite looking so young.
* RobotMaid: A whole bunch of them can be fought in Exotic Laboratory and in System Interior. Also, [[spoiler:Syaro pretends to be one of these (but she is a human nonetheless)]]
* RoomFullOfCrazy: The arena where you fight the penultimate story boss. It's covered in [[spoiler:distorted drawings of bunnies]].
* SchmuckBait: The [[spoiler:System Interior]] has an area where [[MissionControl Cicini]] warns you that falling into the glowing red holes will hurt a lot. [[spoiler:Falling into the first one shortly afterwards will result in a OneHitKill and an achievement; fortunately, there's a SavePoint one room back.]]
* SequenceBreaking: Not only possible, but actually ''encouraged'', as the game gives many achievements for doing things out of order.
* SpikesOfDoom: A common type of trap during the game. Hitting them deals major damage to Erina, and enemies can be lured into them to wipe them out. You actually get an achievement for clearing the entire game without touching one. [[spoiler: No easy task, as the final BrutalBonusLevel is loaded with them.]]
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: Each major boss gets at least one. Erina also gets one when she uses her Bunny Amulet.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Erina and Ribbon have no problems with breathing underwater. Although, they tend to move very slow if you don't have a special item.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Quite a few of the girls, but Pandora, Kotri, and Seana especially come to mind. Kotri and Seana at least justify it by being a dancer and a mermaid, respectively. Pandora has no excuse. Rita actually points out the ChainmailBikini trope, talking about how less clothing equals more protection as if it were common knowledge.
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Irisu]], who only shows up in a locked area post-game. [[spoiler: She's also secretly the leader of the UPRPRC.]]
* UndergroundLevel: Spectral Cave zone.
* VaporWear: Keke Bunny. The only thing she wears under that cloak is a pair of panties.
* VariableMix: The music slows down when Erina is under the "Speed Down" status. It also slows down and additionally decreases in pitch whenever she goes underwater until you get the Water Orb.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential:
** The cocoa bombs you buy from Cocoa can be used to do meaningless damage to residents of Rabi Rabi Town & temporarily destroy buildings. If you do it to Cocoa, she takes a billion damage & stays in her taking cover animation & you get an achievement called <●> ω <●>.
** You can find some of the developers of the game & murder them. You even get an achievement for it. Their irrelevant responses bring to question whether or not they really die though.
** There's also an achievement for beating the game without saving Ribbon's friends.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: The description of the Art Book DLC says that a portion of all profits will be donated to Cocoa. If you buy it, the game tells you the money you spent bought her a carrot.
* WallJump: One of the abilities Erina can learn. You're limited to how many consecutive wall jumps you can make, but you can buy upgrades to increase the jump limit. [[spoiler: You can also perform it ''without'' the Wall Jump item.]]
* WorldOfBadass: All but one of the named characters are proficient magic users of some kind who can tank barrages of projectiles & beatings from a mallet. Two of the most common enemy types are humans using magic & fairies firing magic all over the place. Even most of the nonhostile NPCs are casually hanging out around crazy magicians & wild animals.
