Added DiffLines:

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In ''Hebereke'', there's a [[TheStinger post-credits sequence]] where Hebe addresses the audience, acknowledging the game was weird and possibly underwhelming.


Added DiffLines:

* DarkerAndEdgier: The PAL English translation removes virtually all of the humor, including TheStinger where Hebe [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall.]]


Added DiffLines:

** This is the only game where Hebe is noticeably faster than the other three characters. In [[VideoGame/Ufouria2 the sequel]], all four characters are roughly the same speed.


Added DiffLines:

* FaceFault: In the original ''Hebereke'', Hebe initially leaves O-Chan, Sukezaemon, and Jennifer in his rocketship, ostensibly returning home, only to immediately return and say he was home all along (i.e. with his friends). This causes the three to FaceFault. This gag is unfortunately absent in the PAL English translation.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Retcon}}: [[VideoGame/Ufouria2 The sequel]] heavily implies that this is actually a follow-up, making ''2'' a prequel. So the proper order to play it in is 2, followed by 1.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStinger: Only in ''Hebereke'' (see BreakingTheFourthWall above).
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* DropTheHammer: Averted. Shades carries around a hammer, but never uses it as a weapon... at least not against the enemies.

Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).

* MeaningfulName: ''Freeon''-Leon's default ability is to walk on ice without slipping, and his special ability is to freeze enemies with his icy breath and turn them into blocks to be used as platforms. (Freon is [[DontExplainTheJoke the gas used in refrigerators]]). Gil, of course, is a frog that can swim underwater.
