* MakeMeWannaShout: Laylee has three separate moves she can unlock that make use of her bat-like ability to wield echolocations. "Sonar Shot" is a sonic screech that can stun enemies or wake up totems to reveal invisible objects. "Sonar Splosion" is a sonic burst attack that can wipe out groups of enemies at once. "Sonar Shield" has her create a forcefield of sonic energy that makes her and Yooka invulnerable.

* JokeItem: The five ultra-rare Pirate Treasures don't do anything in-game except for some new dialogue. This was likely intentional and meant to reference the infamous Stop'n'Swap items in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', which likewise don't do anything, albeit for different reasons.

* ToiletHumor: There is some in Galleon Galaxy, around a series of outhouses.
** In one of them, one unknown character is trapped because the toilet is clogged. He fears that he might have to use a Pagie to clean his... well, whatever he's doing, it's accompanied by loud farting noises. After you saved him and receive the (clean) Pagie, Laylee asks whether they can use the outhouse soon, to which the current occupant remarks that he wouldn't use it in quite some time, and he's never coming out either.
** In another outhouse, you can open it with any attack, only to spot a random enemy sitting on the toilet.

* WidelySpacedJailBars: Pagies are trapped in cages where they could easily fit through. This is lampshaded multiple times: Laylee asks one Pagie in Tribalstack Tropes whether it just couldn't fit through the bars - the Pagie vehemently declines until the cage finally opens. In Galleon Galaxy, one cage doesn't open at all, and at last the Pagie ''does'' escape through the bars, driving Laylee furious.

* OffscreenTeleportation: Trowzer and Vendi appear in at least five different locations in the hub world each and at least once in each world, but they never seem to move from one place to another.
* OhCrap: Capital B and Dr. Quack don't take the realization lightly when they [[spoiler:face Blasto mere seconds away from explosion]].



* OxygenMeter: The underwater breathing capacity is displayed with six blue bubbles. When you run out of them, you gradually lose health until you resurface or die.



* PickupHierachy:
** '''Primary''': Pagies. They are the [[PlotCoupon PlotCoupons]] used to unlock new worlds and the final boss fight.
** '''Secondary''': Butterfly Boosters, Power Extenders, and Mollycools. There is usually only one per level and their effects are really useful, albeit not necessary to beat the game.
** '''Tertiary''': Quills. There are 200 in each world and 10 in the hub world, and only around 400 are needed to unlock every one of Trowzer's moves - however, getting all in one world nets you another Pagie.
** '''Extra''': Pirate Treasures, ultra-rare collectibles that are not even hinted at before you collect them.



* PlatonicLifePartners: Yooka and Laylee, who share the Bat Ship Crazy as their home, but have no seen love interest to one another.
* PopQuiz: Not once, not twice, but ''three times'' you are challenged by Dr. Quack to his Quack-Fire Quiz. You have to answer up to ten questions right (although you can skip a question if you answer the previous one in a maximum of three seconds) and you cannot make more than two mistakes, otherwise it's back to the beginning.



* RacingMinigame: Nimble the cloud challenges you to two races in Tribalstack Tropics and to one in Galleon Galaxy. If you win, you get one Pagie for each race.



* ScaryStingingSwarm: One of Capital B.'s attacks is unleashing a swarm of small bees upon you. You need to use the Sonar Beam to drive them away before they can sting you.



* SequentialBoss: All boss fights except the first two have multiple phases that play out vastly differently. For instance, Trev the Tenteycle floods the stage with water after a while, I.N.E.P.T. goes from being chased by you to chasing you, and Capital B. has at least four different phases.



* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Glitterglaze Glacier which has the standard icy cave and palace.

to:

* SillinessSwitch: The secret Helium Play-Tonic makes all characters sound like they inhaled the noble gas.
* SkippableBoss: Unless you're going for OneHundredPercentCompletion, all worlds' bosses are entirely skippable since you don't need all Pagies to get to the end.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Glitterglaze Glacier which has the standard icy cave and palace. In this world, you will encounter slopes that are so slippery that you cannot ascend them with Reptile Roll, unless you're covered in sticky honey first.



* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: The third clue in the "Knights of Hamalot" quest is "Near this world's ramp-pro, search the tomb underneath." Yooka lampshades the fact that it could've ended with "below" for the sake of rhyming.

Yooka lampshades the fact that it could've ended with "below" for the sake of rhyming. If you take to the knight again, he'll ''again'' miss the rhyme and become angry at himself.
* SuperDrowningSkills: The transformations Flower, Snowplough, and Chopper immediately end as soon as you get submerged water. Most mooks don't even have a collision with water - when they fall into it, they just keep on falling until they're out of sight and despawn.

* HomingProjectile: Corplet Drones and Capital B shoot homing stings at you. While for the former, walking away a bit is sufficient to keep them off bay, the latter will chase you relentlessly until it hits you.

** Finding all of the Golden Quills in each world is needed to achieve one of that world's 25 Pagies. But finding those Golden Quills can be a proper nightmare, and the only help the game offers is the "Hunter" tonic, which causes a rather annoying whistling to be heard if you're getting close to one of the last 30 Quills in the world. Tribalstack Tropics is a particularly egregious example; after defeating Rampo, you can hop across his prone body to reach a small alcove with three Quills, which you wouldn't expect to be there.

The BigBad, Capital B, is a giant bee.bee, and all his attacks reflect that: Sometimes, he calls a whole swarm of bees upon you, others include throwing exploding hives. In the final part of the fight, you stand on a small honeycomb-like structure while he shoots stings at you.
** There are two standard enemies, the Bizzy Bees and Corplet Drones, that resemble bees as well.



* BiggerOnTheInside: The Icymetric Palace. From the outside, it doesn't look big enough to host more than maybe a few rooms, but once inside the place is enormous. Most places in Galleon Galaxy qualify as well, especially the minigolf section.



* BodyHorror: Dr. Puzz, as a result of a mishap with her D.N.Ray, grew some squid-like tentacles and is unable to breath overwater, although she otherwise appears human.
* BossBanter: All boss enemies just ''won't stop'' taunting you during battle, although the bosses of Capital Cashino and Galleon Galaxy take it a bit more seriously.
* BottomlessPit: The first two worlds are surrounded by them, but after that they become a rarity - only a few subareas of the hub world and Galleon Galaxy still have them. In the hub, falling into one just resets you to your last entry door with full health, and not even the usual death jingle plays.

* DiscOneNuke: Once Laylee learns the Glide ability after the first world, the game breaks wide open - many challenges can just circumvented or outright nullified by precise platforming around it with the help of the longer air time the move provides.

Added DiffLines:

* NonStandardGameOver: Without glitches it's only really possible in Galleon Galaxy, but you can reach the end of the map on two occasions: Either by taking the ship transformation to the far edge of the map, or by carefully platforming up the giant red asteroid.

The title was developed by Playtonic Games, a group of former key personnel from Creator/{{Rare}} -- specifically, the same people behind such games as ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' and the aforementioned ''Banjo-Kazooie''. The game released on April 11, 2017 for [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]], [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh Mac]] [[UsefulNotes/MacOS OS X]], [[UsefulNotes/{{UNIX}} Linux]], UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4. A UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version would release several months later on December 14, 2017.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** Intentionally made to be one for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', down to name similarity. The [[http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/18/1430413653-yooka-laylee-logo.jpg logo]] is undoubtedly similar as well.

* SpaceIsAnOcean: Inverted in Galleon Galaxy. It's a GangplankGalleon-themed level, set on a body of water with a lot of space-themed elements, including characters who dress and act like they're in a RaygunGothic SpaceOpera. For example, you can transform into a galleon, but it's called a spaceship. Islands that are a short swim away are treated as separate planets.
