YMMV / Popful Mail

• Colbert Bump: Chances are you know this game because of the scrapped Sister Sonic project, where the titular character would become a Funny Animal in the Sonic franchise, or because you wondered where the cute anime elf you unlocked in Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers comes from.
• Complete Monster: In the Sega CD version, Ulgar "The Overlord", Necros and Morgal are a trio of evil gods who form the "Three Masters of Evil". Previously kicked out of Heaven eons ago, the three decided long ago to wage war against the entire world in order to conquer it themselves, sending their armies out to kill anybody in their path and filling many with insanity and despair. Defeated by three mortals and sealed away in another dimension, the Three Masters hatch an escape plan. Forcing the sorcerer Kazyr into helping them escape, the gods allow their army to lay waste to cities and ruin kingdoms to ensure their freedom, even manipulating the heroes into releasing them and then trying to kill them after their purposes have been fulfilled.
• Demonic Spiders: Many of the enemies fought later, especially those flying knights.
• Polished Port: The Sega CD release features redrawn sprites that are much larger and more detailed, now able to depict the heroine's assets, features voice acted dialogue and animated cutscenes, a richer, more energetic soundtrack which jointly uses the Sega CD's sample chip and the Sega Genesis' FM and PSG chips, and runs at a faster pace than the other ports.
• That One Boss: Goradus can be one - every time you hit him, he gets pissed off and does a Ground Pound, which makes rocks fall quickly on completely random positions. And those rocks hurt A LOT.
• That One Level: Chilly can become this, due to your lack of traction on the ice unless you get the spiked boots.
• Values Dissonance: Tatt casually drops the word "retarded" at one point. Obviously, this would not go over well today, where slurs against the mentally disabled are generally more frowned upon.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The cutscenes in the Sega CD version are sprite-based, rather than FMV. Despite this, they are very well animated, featuring tons of animation with unique poses and difficult camera angles.
