** [[spoiler: An update would later change this boss to a three phase fight where you face Freom directly as Freom MK. 0. After the first phase, you then fight the Claritas clone (called Limerent Claritas), and then fight Freom MK 0 again. Between phases, you are forced to do short platforming segments.]]

** [[spoiler: Freom Mk.0]] in his final phase has an attack combo where he grows a [[VideoGame/MegaManX golden ponytail and his sword becomes a lot like the Z-Saber]].

* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler: Beating the BonusBoss reveals that the Freom that was fought over the past couple games was not the original Freom but copies that Clarity created since the original Freom wasn't fully onboard with her vision and their more aggressive personality overwhelmed the original's]].

** Beating the BonusBoss reveals that [[spoiler: the Freom that Spark and Fark fought over the first two games wasn't the original but a copy created by Clarity after the original started disagreeing with her plans. Freom MK. 0 revealed that he never intended to harm any living being unlike Clarity, more wanting just to be able to give every living being a purpose in life]].

* HopeSpringsEternal: The conceit of the ending. [[spoiler:Clarity won, and most of the formies and robots have been purged from the moon, but Spark was able to override Clarity's role within the simulation and free Fark and a previous, nicer iteration of Freom from captivity within the simulation. Though Fark believes ''most'' people have died over the last several centuries, there's nonetheless a chance that there are still formies and machines left to seek out.]]

* NintendoHard: Besides some tricky bits of platforming and certain bosses requiring you to understand the game thoroughly, most of the game ''isn't'' this -- until you hit the [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Utopia Shelter.]] The game goes out of its way to warn you pre-emptively that you now have VideoGameLives compared to the unlimited tries you had in all previous levels, and you'll need every single one of them for the trials ahead as the game tests you on ''everything''. Run out of those lives? [[CheckpointStarvation You're all the way back to the start]] of an extensively long MarathonLevel.

* TheBusCameBack:
** After being DemotedToExtra in [[VideoGame/SparkTheElectricJester2 the previous game]], Spark regains his role as the main character here.
** The yellow Formie not only returns after his role was filled by his robot look-alike in ''2'', but he's been redesigned and sports a brown bomber jacket.

* BrutalBonusLevel: [[spoiler:Endless Dive, which is unlocked after completing the base game and all of the ''Spark 2'' levels, pits Spark against hordes of enemies, and includes many of the games' bosses, with a few of the waves even having multiple (such as three Doubles) or separate ones working in tandem. Beating 100 levels unlocks the fight against [[{{Superboss}} Freom Mk. 0]].]]

* BleakLevel: [[spoiler: Utopia Shelter becomes this in the second half, mostly being based on platforming challenges, and hardly any enemies to be found outside of brief combat sections.

* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration is at play here, since Clarity's essentially downloaded herself into the Fark Force's system at this point (with her realm showing up at various points in the level), and Spark's already destroyed a majority of the Fark Force's militia.]]
* BlockingStopsAllDamage: The game standardizes Fark's blocking ability as the way to parry attacks for all characters, unlike how in the original game Spark had to dash into attacks with precise timing to parry them.

* OrchestraHitTechnoBattle: In contrast to the hard rocking Ultimate Final Boss from the previous two games, the battle theme for [[spoiler: Claritas Centralis]] makes full use of this. The [[spoiler: secret boss fight with Freom MK:0 and Claritias Centralis]] also uses a battle theme invoking this as well.

* {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:Upon reaching Floor 100 of the Endless Dive bonus level, you fight a [[PaletteSwap dark grey version]] of Claritas Centralis, which uses frequent, powerful area of effect attacks and TeleportSpam. Beating this one, in turn, unlocks Freom MK. 0 (Freom in his original body as shown in ''Spark 2'') as a boss.]]
