9
10	!!Unruly Heroes contains examples of:
11	* AdaptationalBadass: Sanzang. In the original novel he was an utterly helpless wuss, who would faint and/or despair at even the slightest ''hint'' of danger. In the game he's just as much of a capable fighter as the other three. {{Justified}} as he ''is'' a playable character and would be pretty much useless otherwise.
12	* AmbiguousTimePeriod: The game seems to take place in ancient China, but the exact time period is never specified.
13	* AmbiguouslyHuman: Sandmonk looks mostly normal, if it weren't for the fact that he has green skin and yellow eyes.
14	* BeastMan: All of the heroes, except for Sanzang.
15	* BigGood: Guanyin Pusa, who acts as ExpositionFairy and TheNarrator both.
16	* CastFullOfCrazy: Every character the heroes encounter seems to have one or two quirks, whether they be bosses or just [=NPCs=].
17	* CharacterTitle: The titular unruly heroes are also the playable characters.
18	* CloudCuckooLander: Guanyin, with her tendency to make jokes at the most inopportune times.
19	* DoubleJump: Wukong and Sandmonk both have this ability.
20	* {{Homage}}: The whole game is a very loving one to Journey To The West.
21	* FallingDamage: {{Averted}}. You can fall from any height and not hurt your character.
22	* FieryRedhead: Wukong and Sandmonk, if their battle cries tell us anything.
23	* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist:
24	** Should one of your heroes die, you can simply revive them by giving their soul a good smack.
25	** Additionally, if you die as one hero you will resurrect at the last lantern you lit as the hero next to them in the roster.
26	* EldritchAbomination: Most of the bosses.
27	* GroundPound: You can perform this type of attack to break frail platforms and squash enemies.
28	* HeroicMime: Apart from the occasional grunt or scream, none of the heroes speak throughout the entire game.
29	* InflatingBodyGag: Many of Kihong's moves involve him puffing up his body.
30	* InformedFlaw: The titular Unruly Heroes never seem to do anything ''that'' unruly in the game itself. [[MythologyGag Though if we assume each of them keeps his original backstory from the book...]]
31	* JustifiedSavePoint: The lanterns you can light by feeding them the souls of the enemies you beat up serve as this.
32	* LifeMeter: Each of the heroes has his own individual health bar.
33	* MightyGlacier: Sandmonk.
34	* PalsWithJesus: The heroes are on pretty good terms with Guanyin, the Goddess of mercy.
35	* PigMan: Kihong.
36	* PungeonMaster: Guanyin loves to sprinkle little jokes throughout her dialogue.
37	* RollingAttack: Kihongs LimitBreak.
38	* SpikesOfDoom: A whole lot of them in just about every level.
39	* SpinAttack:
40	** Sanzangs LimitBreak causes his orbs to grow bigger and spin around him in a wide circle, damaging any enemies in close vicinity.
41	** Kihongs LimitBreak has him blowing himself up like a balloon and then spin forward.
42	* TurnRed: The bosses will turn more aggressive the more you deplete their health bar.
43	* UnlockableContent:
44	** You can use the coins you collect throughout the levels to buy different outfits for the heroes.
45	** Collecting pieces of the Sacred Parchment will grant you access to different artworks.
46	* {{Utopia}}: What the land used to be before the destruction of the Sacred Parchment, according to Guanyin.
47	* WallJump: Every hero has this ability as default.
48	* ZergRush: The enemies main way of attacking. Bosses will usually call up a bunch of mooks to fight you when their health bar is low.
