* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Some stronger appeals use your idol's Mental to be used. They do recover after the live performance end, though.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: A few events have the Producer get stuck in worlds with monster counterparts that look and act like the idols he produces:

'''''THE iDOLM@STER: Shiny Colors''''' is the fourth original mobile game in the ''Franchise/TheIdolMaster'' franchise, and the seventh mobile game overall.

The game focuses on the idols of 283 Production, originally boasting sixteen idols to raise five different idol groups: the "main" unit Illumination Stars, the sentai themed Houkago Climax Girls, the and rock themed L'Antica, the trio Alstromeria, and Straylight.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Link Appeals for the five-member units (L'antica and Houkago Climax Girls). By the time you get to the fifth round of appeals, the live has likely already gotten a decisive winner whose lead cannot be overcome, if the live is even still going by turn five at all. This can be averted in certain content with very high HP judges such as GRAD finals.

* ContinuityCameo: If one looks closely at the magazines for Vocal, Dance, and Visual, you can see references to rival idol groups in other continuities; the Dance stat [[https://twitter.com/johnshinjiro/status/1204008495814774785 takes]] from Red Queen of ''Series/TheIdolmasterKR'', while the Visual stat [[https://twitter.com/syupo_po/status/1204003427040124935 features]] the [[Anime/TheIdolmaster 765 anime's]] Shinkan Shoujo.
* EpicFail: Your idol's training sessions have a chance to fail based on her current stamina. If you have a particularly high chance to fail, the possibility of the Failure being upgraded (downgraded?) to a Catastrophe rears its ugly head. Catastrophes instantly set your Tension meter to 0 and causes your idol to ''lose'' stats in the double digits, frequently more than if you had succeeded. A single Catastrophe is often reason enough to [[RageQuit instantly quit that production run and start over]].
* GoldenEnding: Only present in W.I.N.G., an idol's True End can only be unlocked by winning the grand finals with a total of at least 500,000 fans accumulated. Doing so rewards you with a final cutscene to finish the story of that idol's production card, and a rather large amount of Feather Jewels.

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]] in a rather heavy-handed way. Auditions and Fes Lives will almost always have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place popular stat amongst the three (Vocal, Dance, and Visual). The judge for the 1st place stat is worth significantly more stars than those in 2nd and 3rd place, such that obtaining both the Last Appeal and Most Appeal for the 1st place judge is an immediate victory, or at least a tie for first place. The zigzagging part comes in due to the game consistently rotating which stat is the 1st popular appeal. So while there will always ''be'' a [=OStRTA=], which particular stat that ''is'' at any given moment is in constant flux, by design.
* SetBonus: You are highly encouraged to build Fes teams out of idols from the same unit rather than mixing and matching haphazardly. Idols get a bonus to all their stats with other members of their unit present, and [[CombinationAttack Link Appeals]] require the other members to have used appeals before them. Certain Fes seasons will increase this bonus even further.

* SuperMovePortraitAttack: Depending on the rarity of your Center idol. Rares simply have a cut-in of their talking sprite. [=SRs=] have a cut-in of their Fes art with a bit of animation. [=SSRs=] get a several-second long animated video, which culminates in their Fes art pose.
