* AchievementMockery: There's an achievement for trying to turn the difficulty below Casual, the easiest available difficulty. There's also one for falling into a lava pit right after Cicini warns you not to.

* CastFromHitPoints: The [[spoiler:Bunny Memories]] drains some of Erina's HP to deal massive damage to enemies in the center of the screen. This prevents its use in Dodgemaster achievements.

** Turned against you with all bosses in Hell difficulty or higher, where they'll gain buffs to their attack, defense, and speed once you bring them down to their last slivers of health.

* EyelessFace: When [[MirrorBoss Illusion Alius]] uses a SuperMovePortraitAttack, its portrait is like Erina's, but monochrome and with no eyes. Averted with its sprite, which does have eyes.

* FourIsDeath: Taking a hit while under the effect of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Instant Death]] debuff deals a flat 4444 damage to the player, killing them in one hit.
* FunWithAcronyms: The UPRPRC stands for "Usagi [=PeRoPeRo=] Club".[[note]]"Usagi" is Japanese for rabbit, and "peropero" is Japanese onomatopoeia for licking[[/note]]

** 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.

** Activating a left/right path on a BNA special boss isn't very clearly shown to begin with, but activating the Extreme Path (using a Cocoa Bomb during the difficulty selection) is only hinted at by a very vague achievement description. Activating Extreme+ mode (using a Cocoa Bomb right as the selection ends), on the other hand, isn't explained anywhere in the game.

** Most achievements are very hard to get without using a special guide, and most of them need to be done over numerous save files.

* MarathonBoss: [[spoiler:Miru, Noah]], most of the post-game bosses, and most of the DLC bosses, especially in New Game Plus.

* A digital artbook which has development notes, sketches and art of the characters, a character customizer, and a number of unused features that were cut or scrapped from the main game.

*** The Halloween DLC adds a new section of the Floating Graveyard, culminating in a DualBoss fight with Chocolate and Vanilla [[spoiler:and Cicini]].
*** "Ravine II", the first area of the ''Is The Order a DLC?'' expansion, is laced with spikes, spiked balls, crusher enemies that ''release bullets'' when they hit the ground, and ''wind currents'' that will impede your horizontal movement. The area has two gruellingly difficult bosses, [[spoiler:Pillar Saya halfway through the area, and Lilli & Pixie at the end]], with an EscapeSequence immediately after the latter boss.
*** [[spoiler:Hall of Memory II]], the second area of the ''Is The Order a DLC?'' expansion. After a short gauntlet of spikes, blocks that can only be broken by enemies, and [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Quick Man lasers]], the area splits into four regions that must all be cleared to proceed. Each region has its own unique obstacle (plus lots of spikes) and a midboss at the end. In addition to there being very few enemies, the Bunny Amulet is taken away at the start of the area, only able to be retrieved just before the new TrueFinalBoss.

* ImmuneToFlinching: The Super Armor buff prevents stun. There's also Quick Reflex, which severely cuts down on the amount of stun time. Bosses will generally gain Quick Reflex if you try stunlocking them for too long, before getting Super Armor if they still fail to break out of your attack after that.

* LagCancel: The Frame Cancel badge allows Erina to cancel out of the long animation of her fifth Hammer Combo attack by pressing down.

** Additionally, one of the post-game areas (Forgotten Cave II) is a gauntlet solely consisting of consecutive battles against weaker (but [[StandardStatusEffects debuff-spamming]]) copies of every boss you've fought so far (save [[spoiler:Noah and Miriam]]). This culminates in an encounter with Illusion Alius IV before a boss battle with [[spoiler:Rumi]].

* FinalExamBoss: [[spoiler:Miriam]], whose attacks encompass every item the player has ''collected''. She also throws out illusions of nearly every character who's joined the town up to that point.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Cicini's father, who's been trying to find a way to teleport to Rabi Rabi Island, threatening the peace that Noah sacrificed herself to achieve. Fortunately, Cicini's curiosity means that she now has the device he was going to use to get there, and eventually figures out how to seal the island forever.]]

* {{Combos}}: The game has a rank-based combo meter that increases as you get more and more hits in (increased if you chain together unique attacks), and decreases if you go too long without hitting anything or get hurt. A higher combo ranking grant you a proportional damage boost for as long as you can keep the combo going.

* 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.]]

* EasierThanEasy: Casual difficulty, below Novice. [[spoiler:Then there's Bunny Heaven, which makes all of the bosses level 1 and Erina move faster.]]
* EasyLevelsHardBosses: The levels themselves are mostly simple platforming, but the bosses can and will easily destroy you with their [[Franchise/TouhouProject Touhou-esque]] BulletHell patterns. [[spoiler:Subverted in the post-game; the levels get fiendishly hard at that point.]]

* ImmuneToFlinching: The Super Armor buff prevents stun. There's also Quick Reflex, which severely cuts down on the amount of stun time.

* LastChanceHitPoint: The Survival badge lets Erina survive an otherwise-fatal attack with 1 HP. Being at 1 HP will also disable the healing effects of Ribbon's green magic, requiring Erina to use an item or defeat an enemy to get back above 1 HP. Certain bosses also have this ability, becoming immune to damage for a while after reaching 1 HP.

* 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.

* TurnsRed: Many bosses will bust out new and more dangerous attacks the closer they are to defeat. This is also one of the features of Hell difficulty and up. When near death, bosses gain buffs to attack, defense, and speed.

** Boss battle with [[spoiler:Rumi]] puts a shooter section after each [[SequentialBoss boss phase]].

** The cocoa bombs you buy from Cocoa can be used to do meaningless damage to residents of Rabi Rabi Town and temporarily destroy buildings. If you do it to Cocoa, she takes a billion damage and stays in her taking cover animation and you get an achievement called <●> ω <●>.

* MinimalistRun: [[inuniverse]] There are achievements for completing the game without the Piko Hammer (your main mode of attack) and without getting any items. The game will notably change its level design and boss battles if it sees you don't have certain items, or are outright doing a low-percent run.

* SituationalSword: The Rainbow Egg's boost effect gives you the normally enemy-exclusive Bunny Lover buff, which halves incoming damage if the enemy is a bunny. It only has an effect on [[spoiler:Keke Bunny, Noah, Irisu, and Erina the Forgotten Maiden]].

* SequenceBreaking: Not only possible, but actually ''encouraged'', as the game gives many achievements for doing things out of order, as well as a myriad of ways to do so.

** {{Inverted}} with [[spoiler:Miriam]], who can hijack Ribbon and discharge your EN at you as projectiles.

** The Freeze status effect hurts you if you attack while you have it. The problem arises when Nixie inflicts Freeze & Ban Skill on you at the same time so you can't attack yet you lose almost all of your health in about a second because Ribbon's preexisting boost attack & the carrot bomb that automatically fell out of you when you got hit are both arbitrarily counted as your attacks.

* MinimalistRun: There are achievements for completing the game without the Piko Hammer (your main mode of attack) and without getting any items.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Most of the "Dodge Master" achievements require taking [[FlawlessVictory no damage]]...''except'' for five particularly long bosses, in which case depending on the achievement you are allowed to take up to three hits.

*** And if you really insist on completing the game on a certain difficulty level (normal or below only, see MercyMode below) despite not having the superhuman skills to finish the hellish boss fights, you may choose to get a set of free damage reduction buffs for the fight from your third fail on the same boss onward, the free buff will become stronger if you fail another three tries on that same boss, and so on.

** {{Downplayed}} with Cashback badge's hidden effect, which fires at the boss while expending a single EN.

* CollisionDamage: Present on most enemies. The Pure Love badge stops collision damage from all female bosses, and the Fire Orb lets Erina inflict collision damage back onto enemies. Some of the cheaper bosses will exploit collision damage by leaping into you right before you touch the ground after you jump over one of their attacks.
* {{Combos}}: The game has a rank-based combo meter that increases as you get more and more hits in, and decreases if you go too long without hitting anything or get hurt. A higher combo ranking grant you a proportional damage boost for as long as you can keep the combo going.

* DoubleJump: One of the abilities Erina can learn. She can also get two extra jumps in the ''Is The Order a DLC?'' expansion, but only during boss fights.

* DummiedOut:
** Quite a few beta version features didn't make it into the final game including: a couple bosses, a few missions, extra playable characters (Rita, Cicini and Syaro), and some unused difficulty modes (Unknown and Impossible). A large number of these features were eventually added back in through the Artbook DLC, though with a warning that not all of the features are stable (indeed, certain bosses are known for sometimes crashing the game on Impossible mode).
** The Ravine II area was added as part of the Halloween update but remained inaccessible outside of glitches until its official addition in the ''Is The Order a DLC?'' expansion.

* 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.

** Downplayed with the [[spoiler:Bunny Memories]]. Erina can still take damage while using it, but her HP won't go below 1.

[[folder:Expansions and Secondary Products]]
* ''Is the Order a DLC?'' acts as an expansion to the main game, concluding the story by adding two post-game chapters with 3 new bosses, along with a variety of items and other miscellaneous additions.

* A digital artbook which has development notes, sketches and art of the characters, a character customizer, and a number of unused features that were DummiedOut of the main game.
