[[caption-width-right:320:"But if you want a show... I'll give you a show!"]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Zardy in the original game is a murderous scarecrow that will kill you on sight, no questions asked. Here, as Boyfriend's music is disturbing his friends, Zardy challenges him on his own game to teach him a lesson instead of slitting his throat. Downplayed in Bushwhack, as he can and WILL jumpscare you.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:Zardy disappears about nearly halfway into Bushwhack, allowing Cable Crow to take the reins.]]

* DamselInDistress: Girlfriend is being held up by a vine throughout the entirety of Bushwhack.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Zardy has a low baritone whenever he sings. It evolves into trash metal-alike singing for the final minute of Foolhardy when his notes become more frenzied. [[spoiler:Cable Crow himself also has a deep voice, but with more of a robotic twang.]]

** Bushwhack features vines that will stop Boyfriend from playing any notes until he gets out of them via inputting the pattern given.

* JumpScare: Lose during Bushwhack, and Zardy [[spoiler: or Cable Crow]] will jumpscare you.
* {{Invisibility}}: Zardy turns more and more transparent near the end of Foolhardy, until he's invisible.
* LostInTheMaize: The mod's backstory has Boyfriend and Girlfriend trespass into Zardy's corn maze so they can listen to music in peace, only to end up getting lost. The scarecrows inhabiting the maze get sick of the noise, so Zardy confronts the two with a song of his own, the titular Foolhardy.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: During "Bushwhack", your opponent jumpscares you on death. The resulting game over screen has Boyfriend's brain and blueballs pulsing faster than the beat of the music as if his heart is racing in terror.

** And Bushwhack takes it further, with it being 6 minutes in length.
* MetalScream: Zardy lets out a deep scream once he starts the last few verses of Foolhardy, and every so often during the first half of Bushwhack.

* NintendoHard: There are 1000 notes in Foolhardy, with them getting dropped really quickly later on, and most of the song is harmonized. The intention was to make it the hardest mod for ''Friday Night Funkin[='=]'' at the time of release, which it certainly delivers.
** Bushwhack takes it [[ExaggeratedTrope up to 11]], with the note count being increased to 1663, the song itself being [[MarathonLevel 6 minutes long]], and with new mechanics to keep you on edge.

* ScaryScarecrows: Subverted; Zardy is a scarecrow and an evil-looking one just like in the original, but he doesn't want to kill the Boyfriend. Double subverted in Bushwhack, as he's fully intent on causing harm to him.
* TurnsRed: In the last 42 seconds of Foolhardy, Zardy begins to disappear and throws a massive barrage of notes at Boyfriend, adding the above InterfaceScrew on top.

* MicrophoneSwinging: Zardy swings the microphone attached to his hoe upwards in his up and left arrow animations. [[spoiler: Cable Crow gets a similar effect by ''launching'' the grappling hook the microphone is in for part of his right arrow animation.]]

* HaveANiceDeath: During "Bushwhack", your opponent jumpscares you on death. The resulting game over screen has Boyfriend's brain and blueballs pulsing faster than the beat of the music as if his heart is racing in terror.

* MicrophoneSwinging: Zardy swings the microphone attached to his hoe upwards in his up and left arrow animations. [[spoiler: Cablecrow gets a similar effect by ''launching'' the grappling hook the microphone is in for part of his right arrow animation.]]
