comment
Blatant Item Placement: Throughout the island there are coins, treasure chests, and buried treasure markers spread widely and often obscured by foliage or hidden around corners. In the snowy final area these treasures are much easier to see and are generous in number. Because 32% of the stamina upgrades are purchased with coins and because having a high enough stamina level acts as a soft skill-barrier on finishing the final area the developer may have wanted to make sure that any player who couldn’t finish the final area would have enough coins to purchase more upgrades right away.

Iyashikei: While not a Japanese work, the game fundamentally hits all the points of being in the iyashikei category: the game as a whole is very positive and relaxing, with a beautiful big island to explore with no conflict to worry about, and Claire's interactions with the islanders always result in warm and fuzzy feelings.

Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Once you get high enough up the mountain that it turns snowy, the terrain features difficulties to match. In particular, the frigid air freezes your Golden Feathers as they're expended, and they won't be replenished unless you warm yourself at a hot spring or campfire.

Discount Card
 A Short Hike (Video Game) / int_9484fe56
comment
Discount Card: Two stamina powerups, Golden Feathers, can be purchased for 40 coins each at the Visitor Center. The vendor remarks that "a boy" purchased all the other feathers. Upon reaching the entrance to the final area you find this boy, who talks to you rudely and sells four Golden Feathers for 100 coins each, a 2.5x markup! If you go through one of his dialog trees you discover he's stressed about paying off his college tuition of 400 coins. You can choose to donate 400 coins, and will receive a trading item that later results in a powerful stamina upgrade. If you do this before purchasing any feathers your kindness is rewarded further, as the boy sells all subsequent feathers for the normal 40 coin price thus saving the player up to 240 coins.

Fictional Sport: A kid on the beach has made up a game called beachstickball. It's kind of like volleyball, except you hit the ball with a stick instead of with your hands, and it's a cooperative game rather than a competitive one. Instead of trying to make the other player miss the ball, both players are trying to rack up points by volleying the ball together.

Sprint Meter: The game is built around building up your meter to scale ever-higher vertical cliffs until Claire can reach the summit. You start without a meter until you get your first Golden Feather, with each subsequent one expanding it. Golden Feathers also allow Claire to sprint and to fly up while gliding.

Good Luck Charm: Zig-zagged. A rabbit is missing their lucky headband and doesn't want to race without it. Their competitor has a near-identical headband and is willing to lend it out if it means the rabbit will still race. But! Despite the rabbit admitting the other headband is at least "twice" as lucky, they decide not to rely on luck for the big race and leave the headband with you. The competitor also doesn't want the lucky headband back in case it really is lucky and gives him an unfair advantage.
