  • One of the most frightening Mini-Events involves Medusa, who paralyzes your character for up to two turns if they don't have two Forcejewels to save them. If you only have one, it doesn't block the full effect and you're paralyzed for one turn.
  • One Mini-Event has the character encountering a hooded ferryman, who asks them if they will steer the boat themselves. Depending on how they answer (and the mercy of the RNG), it can be Illumina, who helps the player, Eggman, who just thought he'd ask (and he'll force you to pay up Rings if you see him), or Void, who sends the player back where they started.
  • Another Mini-Event has a hooded priest who asks if the time has come, and can be either Illumina, Eggman, or Void. Void in particular has a creepy response. These lead to the same results as seen above.
  • The Mini-Game "The Great Escape" has everyone trapped in a building/maze that's only lit by special switches, which Eggman has set to blow up if they don't escape. If someone fails, the entire screen explodes.
  • One Accident Mini-Game in Nature Zone involves everyone having to escape from the mouth of a crocodile. If they fail to escape, they're eaten.
  • Void's monster form. Its head is its chest, and it shoots beams of darkness to capture the characters and drain their Rings.
  • Yet another Mini-Event has you meeting a very humanoid looking stone creature who uncrosses his arms and opens his eyes wide and speaks of offering you treasure. If you are unlucky, it will make a grabbing motion at your character, and show you... a very strange looking black box, and will take some of your rings. His arms unfold outside of the movie box, by the way.
  • The final boss of Emerald Coast is a very strange looking humanoid being. She has overly long arms, giant hands and a face with no facial features whatsoever. For some reason, she is completely 2D apart from her hair, which makes her a very bizarre looking creature. To top it off, she makes a creepy slow motion of raising her arm when she attacks you. Credit to Chenanigans for this accurate representation.
