This page contains numerous spoilers for Chrono Cross, which are not labeled as such outside of the spoiler markers, so read carefully from this point forward if you don't want to have Chrono Cross spoiled. Please try to mark any spoilers involving Chrono Cross if you hide a spoiler from that game.Chrono Trigger is an RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System; it was developed by Squaresoft in conjunction with several members of then-rival Enix and released in 1995, and is their most well-known SNES game that isn't a part of the Final Fantasy brand. The game tells the story of Crono, a Silent protagonist who meets a young girl named Marle at his hometown's Millennial Fair, a festival thrown to celebrate the dawn of the year 1000 AD. When a teleportation device made by Crono's best friend, Lucca, goes out of control and sends Marle four hundred years into the past, Crono jumps in after her, kicking off an epic adventure throughout time that will span millions of years and events to prevent a long-dormant Eldritch Abomination from causing The End of the World as We Know It.Chrono Trigger was the last hurrah for the golden age of epic JRPGs on the SNES, and the crown jewel in a hit series of Square games that included Final Fantasy VI, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, and several others that no one bothered to release outside Japan. The game features art and character designs by Dragon Ball mangaka Akira Toriyama and music by Yasunori Mitsuda, Nobuo Uematsu, and Noriko Matsueda. Also unique is the battle system, which combined the Active Time Battle system of Final Fantasy VI with position-based special moves known as Techs, often requiring the player to wait and time their attacks accordingly to maximize damage output.Square followed up Chrono Trigger with two sequels. The first, Radical Dreamers for the Satellaview, didn't originally see the light of day outside of Japan like the Satellaview add-on itself, though a translated ROM is available online. The second, Chrono Cross for the PlayStation, incorporates parts of Radical Dreamers. An HD remaster of Chrono Cross for Nintendo Switch, Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One was released on April 7 2022, including the previously unreleased-in-English Radical Dreamers. Chrono Trigger itself has a PS1 port that adds a number of brief anime cutscenes and a few plot modifications to get it in sync with the then-still-in-development Chrono Cross. Square Enix published a long-awaited Updated Re-release in late 2008 for the Nintendo DS; this re-release retained the good parts of the PS1 port, re-translated the script to overcome the hurdles of both censorship and memory limitations present in the mid-1990s, and threw in some bonus dungeons and a new ending for good measure.note This port also saw a European release in 2009. Since then, it has seen releases on Apple's iOS platform in 2011, Android in 2012, and Steam in 2018.The planned third game, Chrono Break, was cancelled, but plot elements from it were later used in Final Fantasy Dimensions II.This has nothing to do with the series about a nun and a demon despite said series having a name that falls into the same naming convention as the games. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_106f1a77 | comment |
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Spekkio takes the form of an enemy close to the player's level. If the party is critically under-leveled by the time they meet them (levels 9 and under), they will see a frog. Spekkio's final form requires grinding to Level 99 to see it. What form they take also dictates how hard it will be to defeat them, should you choose to fight them. | |

Cherry Tapping | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: In a horrifying inversion, the game does this to you via the Nu. In battle, Nu will either deal ((Current HP) - 1) damage or 1 damage. So be prepared to be hilariously and humiliatingly killed by taking 1 damage while having only 1 HP. Thankfully, there's a modicum of fairness in this skillset, as there are actually two kinds of Nu enemiess: one deals ((Current HP) - 1), the other 1, and they don't coordinate their attacks. Several of the end-game bosses and enemies have the ability to do this to you. Especially humiliating and noticeable if you're over-leveled, since most of their attacks would do scratch damage to you. Zeal's second form in particular is rather annoying, because hitting her with an Area of Effect attack will result in her casting ((Current HP) - 1) and MP Buster on you, leaving your character with only 1 HP and nothing else. She usually follows this up with a life drain spell. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_10fe7cc1 | comment |
Blamed for Being Railroaded: After Crono first sees Marle, the only way to move on is to have him bump into her, something that is used against him in his trial. That said, if you admit that you were the one who bumped into Marle, one of the jurors will vote "Not Guilty" instead of "Guilty" since you owned up to it. | |

Coup de Grâce Cutscene | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_11204355 | comment |
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: The Dragon Tank doesn't just vanish like most enemies. After you've defeated it in normal battle, it triggers a sequence where Crono takes a flying leap to the top of the machine and plunges in his katana for the final blow. This causes the whole bridge to explode. | |

Dalton's guards strip you of all of your gear. For the extra layer of security, they divide it up and keep each stash under guard. Dalton is not as stupid as he looks. The sentry still falls for the oldest trick in the book, though: | |

Diabolus ex Nihilo | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_13a499b8 | comment |
Diabolus ex Nihilo: Lavos' origins remain a mystery, and some of its powers are fairly inexplicable. It's an Eldritch Abomination from space, and that's all that's known about it. The Black Omen, a UFO powered by the equally-cryptic Mammon Machine, is somehow cobbled together from the remains of the Ocean Palace. | |

Gaia's Lament | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_13a6b7ef | comment |
Gaia's Lament: No sun, no food. A simple yet insurmountable problem for Doan and his comrades in the future. Lavos' eruption blocked out the sun and choked the atmosphere with soot. In the Dark Ages, the magical floating kingdom of Zeal used to draw renewable power from the Sunstone, but mothballed it in favor of the Mammon Machine's energy. Queen Zeal also did away with the Gurus for preaching about living in accordance with nature and crap like that. | |

Heal It with Water: Marle and Frog are the two Water-aligned party members, and they are the only ones with dedicated healing spells. Marle functions more like a White Mage, with a more dedicated healing and support arsenal, whereas Frog is more of a Combat Medic, where he can dish out damage and keep the party alive. | |

No Bikes in the Apocalypse: Played relatively straight.

Randomized Damage Attack: Lucca has the Wondershot that deals random damage. It can deal either very high damage or very low damage. How much it does is based on play time. The enemy Nu only has two attacks. This attack either brings a character down to 1 HP, or does 1 damage. Lucca and Robo have weapons whose damage is based on the last digit of their MP/HP, respectively. | |

Evolutionary Stasis: Humans haven't changed one iota in 65 million years aside from the development of magic, and there's a number of other species that haven't changed at all either except for color. This is justified when you fight the final boss - turns out Lavos has personally controlled humanity's evolution since its crash landing in 65,000,000 BC. Apparently, the original form of man serves it best for its meal. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Several, based on what stage of the game you're at: You can visit 65,000,000 BC as soon as you access the End of Time, several dungeons before you actually need to go there. In 65,000,000 BC lies the Dactyl's Nest, an area you're not supposed to visit until the second time you arrive at the time period. The enemies there give three times the typical amount of EXP than battles in the next storyline dungeon do, at only a mild increase in difficulty. There's also the Nu in the Hunting Range. It can't kill you, but you can defeat it for a lot of Tech Points. It's somewhat difficult to find, however. The Fiendlord's Keep has a chamber (right-hand path from entryway) before the room where Flea's fought that has three groups that drop 413 experience each (which is decent), but each one also often drops a Mid Ether (restores 30 MP in battle), 720 gold (which is nice), and give 11 TPs for icing on the cake. While taken aboard the Blackbird, you can encounter mooks which, despite posing a minimal threat, still give more EXP than their challenging recolors from the Ocean Palace. The Geno Dome starts with a conveyor belt which has five sets of enemies, which reward a total combined EXP of roughly 10,000, far greater than any other location in the entire game. It also gives a decent amount of TPs. A garbage chute at the end of the belt allows you to travel back to the beginning and reset the enemies, making it the perfect location to grind. In the Black Omen, there is a hall which puts you against three enemies every time you walk through it. If you're strong enough to beat them all before they can escape, you can learn all your Techs easily. It also contains an enemy from whom you can steal Strength Capsules, items that give a permanent +1 bonus to your Strength attribute. | |

Global Currency Exception: In 65,000,000 B.C., you can only buy weapons by trading animal parts, which the monsters drop instead of gold.note The item merchant, on the other hand, is very enthusiastic about your "shiny stone".

Frothy Mugs of Water: In the original English script, there's "soda" and "soup". In addition, Lucca's father, Taban, is shown to have a worrisome fondness of lemonade in one ending. This is all discarded in the remake, and it's all referred to as alcohol. | |

Extreme Speculative Stratification | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_19e991a6 | comment |
Extreme Speculative Stratification: The Kingdom of Zeal, occupying the era of 12,000 BC, has a populace of elite "Enlightened Ones" inhabiting Floating Continents festooned with Crystal Spires and Togas, and use their powerful magic to make an easy life, while the non-magic "Earthbound Ones" are forced to wear rags and live in caves. Things used to be more fair, until Queen Zeal rose to power and rearranged society around the worship of magic and its ultimate source, Lavos. They get their comeuppance, though: trying to use Lavos as a power source proves not to be a good idea and Zeal is sent crashing into the ocean. | |

Missing Main Character: For most of the game you Can't Drop the Hero, but towards the end of the main quest, Crono is removed from the party after he dies from fighting Lavos for the first time, forcing the player to choose another party member to replace him. Notably, the quest to get Crono back is optional; it is possible to complete the rest of the game without him. | |

Multiple Endings: There are 13, many of which can only be attained in a New Game Plus. Variations for a couple of these depends on whether Crono is dead, Magus is in your party, if you completed certain quests, and the method you used to reach Lavos. Quite a few of them are joke endings, while two others are just glorified credit reels. The thirteenth ending is featured exclusively in the remake, in order to tie things more to Chrono Cross. | |

The Slow Path: Robo makes use of it in order to restore the forests back in the Middle Ages. He stays behind with Fiona to labor at reconstruction, as the rest of the party simply hops in the Epoch and zooms forward to 1000 AD when Robo's work is complete and their friend is enshrined as a hero. He's in a somewhat dilapidated state, but not beyond Lucca's ability to repair him. He also uses his 400 year sojourn to try and reason out the puzzle of the Gates and their relation to Lavos, speculating the existence of The Entity being the party responsible for their existence rather than Lavos itself. The Nu in the Lost Sanctum trains for 65,000,600 years after you beat him. | |

Looks Like Orlok | |

The player's party consists of an anthropomorphic frog, a self-aware humanoid robot, a cavewoman wearing a fur bikini, and — optionally — a world-threatening dictator who Looks Like Orlok. No one cares. Crono's mother has more to say on the odd ensemble of Crono's time-displaced sidekicks than the entire rest of the NPC cast, and even she doesn't seem too worried about them. This is especially evident with Magus, as while people will now suddenly know whatever name you've chosen to given him, they pay no mind to him, even when he's the one they're talking to. | |

Ominous Floating Castle: Zeal Palace. The BGM is one of the more ominous tracks used in the game. The palace stands upon the highest peak in the floating rocks that make up Zeal. They don't get more ominous than the Black Omen. Originally an undersea power plant plugged into Lavos' power, it's been warped into a futuristic airship but can't go anywhere, rendering it little more than a flying arcology. | |

Easing into the Adventure: Good Morning, Crono! Don't forget to feed the cat. Crono and company first embark on the (comparatively) simple task of retrieving Marle. Rather than receiving a medal for his heroism, Crono's reward is a death sentence, so the party haphazardly flees into a random Time Gate, uncertain of whether they can ever return. It ends up depositing them in the Future and that's when Lavos enters stage right. | |

Chekhov's Gun: After the Ocean Palace, the doll you can win at the Millennial Faire becomes a plot point. You need to use the doll of Crono to swap out the real Crono just before he would have been vaporized by Lavos to save Crono's life. Various seemingly insignificant things you can do at the Millennial Faire, such as eating the lunch you find near Gato's arena, bringing back the little girl's cat, and trying to walk off before Marle finishes buying candy, will work for or against you when you're put on trial for allegedly kidnapping Princess Nadia. When you first get to 2300 AD, you need to use the SNES buttons to type the name "Zabie". When Lucca goes back in time to save her mother Lara, you need to spell Lara's name using the SNES buttons in order to shut off the conveyor belt, and you'd only figure this out if you remembered about the Zabie puzzle. | |

Mistaken for Murderer: Kidnapper in this case. As soon as Crono returns from the past for the first time after saving Marle, he's arrested for kidnapping her. This is due to the fact that the Chancellor is now a descendant of Yakra in disguise, and since you went back in time and stopped the original Yakra from impersonating the Chancellor, his broodlings took it upon themselves to finish what he had started. The "mistake" is actually an act of revenge. | |

Cardboard Prison | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_251bce7c | comment |
Cardboard Prison: Guardia Castle's security really isn't the best. When Crono is jailed at the beginning, you either trick the guards to escape, or Lucca will bust in and take out most of the guards. Even if you stay put, there is a hole leading to the adjacent cell, and from there a gaping hole leading outside. In fact, the most valuable chests are accessible via a giant network of loose stones and holes in the walls. The Blackbird's brig isn't much of an improvement. You can fake an illness to get the guards to come in, setting up a sneak attack from your team, or you can pull an Air Vent Escape through a completely unprotected vent in the ceiling. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: At least in the SNES version: Dalton uses the iconic phrase "We have lift-off, Houston!!" as he engages the modified Epoch for the first time. In the Chrono Trigger universe, there is no such place as Houston. Then again, Dalton has an awareness of the fourth wall. The presence of stoves and refrigerators in 1000 AD, the (relatively) advanced state of 600 AD, and dome cities in 1999. Justified in-universe due to Lavos advancing the evolution of humanity. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Lucca bears a pretty strong resemblance to Arale Norimaki from Doctor Slump. Akira Toriyama provided the character designs for both works. Also due to Akira Toriyama illustrating both games, a few characters have lookalikes in Dragon Ball as well. Crono's face, in particular, resembles that of Son Goku in the anime cutscenes. Magus would be a dead ringer for Piccolo if he were bald. Frog even gets this treatment. While we never see his face, Glenn in the animated ending cutscene has a hairstyle that suggests his character design would be a recolored adult Gohan. Uberhulks have no relation what-so ever to the "product identity" Umber Hulk. | |

Generation Xerox: The Guardia line. This is a plot point, as Marle's uncanny resemblance to Queen Leene screws up history until Crono and Lucca rescue the real one with Frog's help. Yakra, the monster that haunts Manolia Cathedral in the Middle Ages, has a descendant in the Present, Yakra XIII, which is just a blue Yakra. Ozzie, whose descendant is the mayor (or janitor) of Medina Village in the present. The only difference is that somehow, the present Ozzie is blue. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: The citizens of Arris Dome don't care what you found in their basement, or that you risked your life down there. They're all starving, so unless you are bringing them food, they don't care what you are or what you did. The residents of Zeal would rather bask in their own luxury than be concerned about messing with questionable energy sources, or even about the simple idea that "what goes up must come down." The NPCs' blasé attitudes towards the Black Omen is justified as, from their perspective, it has been there as long as they can remember, and hasn't caused anyone any trouble. | |

Status Effects: Standard ones like poison, anti-magic, confusion, and slowing down turns. But there's also "Lock-All", which prevents your characters from doing anything but attacking. However, only Metal Slimes of the game can use Lock-All. Many of the high-end gear have a blanket anti-status effect. The Final Boss has a move that removes the immunity. | |

It's really Frog's medal, which he abandons after getting beat up by Magus. Tata just finds it and gets hailed as a hero, but flees for his life once you follow him. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
One of the treasures gained from the Geno Dome sidequest is the Crisis Arm, which has a similar effect listed. However, a glitch means that the weapon only reads the last digit of Robo's HP, meaning it does the same damage at 999 HP as at 9 HP. The remake keeps the bug and gives the weapon a description that makes this more explicit. | |

One-Time Dungeon | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_274aca0c | comment |
One-Time Dungeon: The Prison Towers. Once completed, you cannot backtrack that area, even after completing all of the Guardia quests. The Fiendlord's Keep. once you 'defeat' Magus, the botched reawakening literally swallowed the place by a colossal Time Gate. The Tyranno Lair in 65,000,000 B.C. is destroyed when Lavos crashes into it (although its boss reappears in the Giant's Claw dungeon later on). Mt. Woe in 12,000 B.C. is no longer accessible after the chain anchoring it to the ground breaks and it falls into the sea. The Ocean Palace in 12,000 B.C. is no longer accessible after Lavos awakens, destroying it and the Kingdom of Zeal. The Blackbird as the heroes accidentally shoot it down after recovering the Wings of Time and finding that Dalton not only installed weapons but altered the controls while failing to label the buttons. The whole Antiquity 12,000 BC sequence up until the Black Omen. Once the Ocean Palace is destroyed by Lavos, all of the available locations, including the dungeons are gone due to the world's destruction. Post-Ocean Palace, you are unable to backtrack until you complete the Blackbird, which also falls under this trope. After revisiting Magus at the North Cape (fought or joined), you can try to backtrack, but there is almost nothing to explore outside of the Black Omen since all locations were destroyed.. The Sunken Desert gets patched once you let Robo help out Fiona after defeating Melphyx. Once you beat the boss of Geno Dome, Robo shuts the place down permanently, putting an end to its human-processing operations but also effectively killing the robots and computers inside. Including whichever one was responsible for opening the front door. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon is also a possibility, depending on which time period you finish it in. Completing it in the earliest time period (12,000 B.C.) prevents you from finishing it in the other two (600 A.D. and 1,000 A.D.) Going from the most recent time period to the oldest allows you to complete it 3 times total. | |

Non-Indicative Name: The "Middle Ages" (600 A.D.) are in the middle of what, exactly? It falls between 12,000 B.C. and 1000 A.D., and, chronologically, is in the final 1% of the entire span of time seen in the game. The Dark Ages. At first, anyways; once Lavos emerges, it becomes much more appropriate. This is averted in the remake, which renames the era "Antiquity". Geno Dome, despite being called a "Dome," like the other towns in the future, is not actually a futuristic city. It looks more like the Factory dungeon, both on the inside and on the world map. | |

Sidequest | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_2af679a6 | comment |
Sidequest: Most notably, the one to resurrect the main character Crono from his death at the hands of Lavos is entirely optional. Most of the game post-Zeal, even the Black Omen, can be considered a sidequest, since you can face the final boss very early in the game. That said, the sidequests are helpful for leveling your characters and getting their best weapons so you stand a chance of beating said boss on your first playthrough. And at the very least, none of them feel particularly pointless. The remake introduced the Lost Sanctum, two villages and two mountains full of Fetch Quests: Find an item, take it to the guy on top of the mountain, walk back down the mountain to the village. Now climb the mountain again to talk to the guy again to figure out what you need to fetch for him next. Get the item, climb to the top of the mountain, be told it's the wrong item, climb down the mountain. You spend as much time traveling through the same four or five screens as you do on the rest of the game's sidequests combined. At least the rewards are usually worth it. | |

The Master Mune Triple Tech requires your whole party to be at low HP to inflict maximum damage. What makes this technique the epitome of Awesome, but Impractical, however, is that the party required to use this technique is Marle, Robo, and Frog, meaning that if you can dish out maximum damage with this technique, Frog Squash is already primed to do the same, and the other two should be getting your party back on its feet. | |

Bad Present | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_2cb6c9b | comment |
Bad Present: The "Successor of Guardia" ending, which can be interpreted as either hilarious or horrifying. A grainy film projector shows Queen Leene walking down the aisle with Frog, turning Marle's family line into a weird bunch of frog hybrids.note It's speculated that King Guardia XXI may have perished from the wounds he suffered at Zenan Bridge and Queen Leene married Glenn since they were such close friends. | |

Gender-Restricted Gear: The Prismatic Dress, which provides the most powerful defensive option (permanent Magic Barrier, reducing magic damage by 1/3) is only usable by women.

Resigned in Disgrace: Frog steps down as Queen Leene's personal guard after Yakra is defeated, claiming he has disgraced himself by failing to prevent her abduction. Nobody blames him but himself, but his reinstatement is delayed until the end of the game by his permanently joining the party to initially go after Magus, and then see through the mission against Lavos. | |

God Save Us from the Queen!: Queen Zeal wants the power of Lavos for herself, treats it like a god, and actively antagonises the party in an attempt to stop them from reaching it. It's also shown that Zeal treats her daughter Schala like crap, even exploiting her powers to do more terrible things. | |

Non-Combatant Immunity | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_30e8f2f7 | comment |
Non-Combatant Immunity: At one point, the party is captured and stripped of their gear. You are free to sneak around the ship, although getting caught will get the party thrown back in jail. Once you find someone's equipment, though, getting caught by a guard triggers a battle, allowing you to defeat them and go on. This is also true if you have Ayla in your party, because she fights with her fists. | |

Within the same segment of the game, you fight a powerful Guardian boss to find that the guy who went down to bring back food died (leaving behind a widow and their child) and the entire food stores have gone rotten, with the only hope for survival that the people have left is some seeds you found down there. Then you discover the true nature of where you've ended up. Pretty heavy stuff. Then you leave Arris Dome and get into a hover bike race against "Johnny", a wacky robot/trike hybrid with an inexplicable beatnik personality. | |

The remake adds even stronger weapons for everyone except for Frog and Ayla and the strongest armors. Most are found in the Dimensional Vortexes: The Dreamseeker for Crono. It has the highest Attack rating at 240 Attack (one point higher than the Rainbow Sword), and a 90% critical hit rate. Obtained after defeating the Dream Devourer, which makes it a Bragging Rights Reward, since you got his best weapon after defeating the hardest enemy. The Venus Bow for Marle. It always deals 777 damage, no matter what. The Spellslinger for Lucca. It deals damage based on the last number of her MP. The Apocalypse Arm for Robo. It deals 9,999 damage on critical hits, but its base attack stat and critical rate are low. The Dreamreaper for Magus. It deals 4x the damage on critical hits. The armors Regal Plate and Regal Gown. The former can only be equipped by guys and grants additional Stamina and Magic Defense. The latter is for girls, and grants permanent Protect and Barrier effects. The headgears Master's Crown for the guys and Angel's Tiara for the girls. Both grants immunity to all ailments. The Crown gives the wearer a 25% damage increase, while the Tiara grants permanent Haste status. Frog and Ayla don't get new weapons, the former because his best weapon is a Sword of Plot Advancement and the latter is a Bare-Fisted Monk who can't equip weapons. Instead, they get Infinity Plus One Accessories as rewards for doing the Lost Sanctum quests. The Champion's Badge is Frog-exclusive, offers increased critical rate for the Masamune, and halves Frog's MP consumption. The Valor Crest is for Ayla only, gives her increased critical rate and a chance to counter enemy attacks. Elemental Aegis is an exclusive armor for Lucca, which grants immunity to all elemental damage. To obtain it, you must first meet and kill a Wonder Rock. After which, bring the Lumicite Shard it drops to the forge in Middle Ages Lost Sanctum. | |

Boss Corridor: "Neuga, ziena, zieber, zom..."*("Dal, zumal, phara-lo, lierra..." in the DS version) A very memorable pitch black room in the Fiendlord's Keep, with blue flames that light up as you pass by. The Black Omen has a long hallway filled with creepy holograms (or perhaps even clones) of nearly everyone in the party. Except Magus. The interior of Lavos' shell is a straight shot to the Final Boss, during which a pulsating heartbeat gets louder and faster as you get closer to Lavos. | |

Pistol-Whipping: Marle whacks things with her crossbow if they're too close to shoot at. Lucca, using a much smaller pistol, uses a hammer instead. | |

Schizo Tech | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: 1000 A.D. is the "modern world," with a mix of medieval and modern architecture: castle, modern military uniforms, refrigerators, and swords and guns together. On the outer edges of science and magic, there's even a robot and human cloning. The "Successor of Guardia" ending reveals that apparently, color film was already invented by 600 AD as that ending shows it being used to film Frog's wedding with Queen Leene. Additionally, the color film in 600 AD was able to survive 400 years without much wear and tear. There are guns found throughout time. There's even a "Ruby Gun" in 65,000,000 BC. There are also robot arms in this time period. From one walkthrough: | |

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_3c700857 | comment |
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Initially this is played straight with Crono and Frog using swords, and Marle and Lucca using a crossbow and gun, respectively. Robo then mixes it up with his laser attacks, and then Ayla smashes this with her mighty fists. And Magus has fairly high physical attack power, but all of his Tech attacks are magical. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_3f737576 | comment |
Climax Boss: Magus, fought in 600 AD as the Fiendlord and the Barrier Change Boss, all in an attempt to prevent him from creating Lavos. Actually, summoning Lavos, but the party doesn't find that out until it's too lateand they're sucked through a Gate. The first encounter with Lavos. It's probably going to be over in one turn, but it's a Wham Episode in the story for what happens once the fight is over. Queen Zeal, fought at the end of the Black Omen dungeon. She's meant to be a precursor to facing Lavos, and beating her means a direct line to Lavos itself. | |

Bleak Level | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_3f8ef764 | comment |
Bleak Level: The blue-tinted melancholy of 600 A.D. This era is most similar to the present in terms of continents and town placement, but the skies are overcast with mist and the theme music ("Yearnings of the Wind") can be best described as "pensive". This is a kingdom which is preparing to be snuffed out at any moment. The Future, particularly the Arris and Geno Domes, which are a desolate wasteland. Everything is brown and dying, the people can barely hang on, and there's ruins of civilization everywhere. There's something to be said for 12,000 B.C.'s frozen wasteland after Lavos ruins the civilization of Zeal's elite. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: In Robo's sidequest, Robo's fight with Atropos in Geno Dome has Atropos briefly overcome Mother Brain's programming before Atropos shuts down. Frog attempts one on Cyrus' ghost in 1000 AD. It doesn't take; it's a Hopeless Boss Fight, and there's no option but to flee. The extra "Dream's Epilogue" ending in the remake, when Magus finally finds Schala. | |

Cognizant Limbs: A good portion of the bosses have multiple parts, such as: a head and two hands; a body and legs; a large main body and two bits; or a head, a wheel, and a body. Since these require many different strategies, it probably contributed to the lasting appeal of the game. | |

Flunky Boss: Many, many bosses, including the Final Boss, have "Bits" that assist the boss in attacking, counterattacking, or defense, and often can be revived by the main boss. Lavos has numerous spawn to assist it in the Boss Rush, some of them bipedal creatures. In the final battle, Lavos is disguised as one of the spawn. | |

Copy Protection | |

Copy Protection: In the SNES version, if the game detects that its running on a cartridge copier, the first Gate animation will loop endlessly. This also works as an anti-cheat as it will also trigger if certain Game Genie or Pro Action Replay codes are usednote specifically, if the infinite HP/MP codes are active and one steps into any Gate. This was recycled for the remake, though the detection method isn't the same. | |

Inconveniently-Placed Conveyor Belt: The conveyor belts in the factory areas are understandable enough. But one has to wonder what they're doing on the Blackbird, which is supposed to be a military-grade airship and the symbol of the aerial might of Zeal. Played with in the Ozzie's Fort sidequest. A pair of monsters spawn on conveyor belts. Before the battle menu pops up, the conveyor belts drop the poor mooks into pits. The battle music slowly peters off and the party just stands there as if to say "Did that really just happen?" | |

Since the dungeon ahead requires exploiting elemental weaknesses, and Frog is a required member of your party until you clear it, you're going to need him to know those spells. | |

Treacherous Checkpoint | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_45534904 | comment |
Treacherous Checkpoint: The Abandoned Sewers is full of subterranean monsters who will attack the party if they make any sound. After avoiding various noise-making hazards, Crono and friends may gladly walk into a Save Point, which makes a characteristic "ding". It cause the monsters to "hear" it and rush out to attack. Once the monsters are defeated, however, it works as well as any other save point. In Fiendlord's Keep, falling through a trap door in one room will land you in a large cavern with four apparent save points, one in each of the four cardinal directions. One is a save point, a second is actually a teleporter that will take you to the room you fell from, and the other two trigger battles with multiple fake save points. These switch around every time you fall into the room.HintThe two fake save points are always opposite each other, and the teleporter is always opposite the real save point. | |

Four Is Death: Occurs at least four times: No more than three people may time travel at once, or else they go to the End of Time (which isn't as bad as it sounds, more of a limbo for time travelers). Magus and his henchmen. Dalton has four golems. Four Lavos Spawn. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: The remake retroactively does this for almost all the party's best weapons from the original version of the game, since it introduces even stronger ones. The Lost Sanctum Bonus Dungeon in the remake provides some high-tier weapons for each character as quest rewards or from treasure chests, although they're not the strongest: The Icewyrm sword for Crono. The Stardust Bow for Marle, a bow that has a high chance to inflict Confuse on the target. The Turboshot for Lucca, a gun that increases Lucca's Speed by 3. It's also the strongest of Lucca's non-gimmicky weapons. The Dragon Arm for Robo. Notable that it's the strongest of Robo's non-gimmicky weapons. The Dinoblade for Frog. Notable that since Frog's Infinity +1 Sword, the upgraded Masamune, doesn't carry over to New Game Plus, so this will be his best weapon in New Game Plus until you reach the endgame again. The Judgement Scythe for Magus, a scythe with a high chance to inflict Stop. For non-weapons, completing the Fiona's Forest sidequest unlocks a shop that sells Vigilant's Hat, a headgear with good defense and grants immunity to all status ailments. It's pretty expensive and not the strongest helm, but everyone can wear it and you can easily get more of it, making it a good choice of equipment until you get the strongest ones. Near the end of the game, the trader in Ioka village starts trading the Ruby Armor for 10 Petal/Horn/Fang/Feather each. It can be worn by anyone, has a respectable 78 Defense rating, and has an effect to significantly reduce Fire damage taken. The game itself hints at this. If you talk to Ayla in the End of Time she will tell you that her village has strong armors available for trade. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_486466ee | comment |
Dual Boss: Masa & Mune are initially fought as two enemies, then combine into one right after beating them. Azala and Black Tyranno are fought at the same time. It's the only time you can confront either of them. The Golem Twins are two of the same enemy that were faced beforehand. You don't necessarily have to win the fight, but doing so nets you some juicy rewards. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Magus disguises himself as a prophet in 12,000 BC by basically putting a hood on his cape. It doesn't even fully cover his hair. Of course, it still works, since no one in the time period knows who he is, and his past self is a child. | |

The Fiona's Forest sidequest allows Lucca to teleport to that exact moment, and you get a chance to stop the machine.

Artifact Mook: During the Rainbow Shell quest, it seems really strange to be fighting Nagas and Vipers, enemies that appeared in the 600 A.D. Cathedral at the very beginning of the game. That is until you fight the boss, Yakra XIII, who is the descendant of the boss of the Cathedral. Giant's Claw, the area where you find the Rainbow Shell, has enemies otherwise seen only in the prehistoric era. Like the above, this is because the area is the ruins of the Tyranno Lair. | |

Duel Boss: Frog versus Magus at the North Cape, if you bring Frog to the confrontation. If you don't, the whole party fights against Magus instead. However, it's possible to just refuse to fight him in either case, saying that killing Magus now wouldn't change what happened in the Wham Episode. Doing this gets Magus to join your party. For Robo, there's an optional sidequest in the endgame where he faces Atropos at the Geno Dome one-on-one. It's possible to face Lavos with only Crono in the New Game Plus. You have to choose between this and the Ocean Palace fight for the Developer's Ending. | |

Temporal Paradox: One briefly causes Marle to disappear early in the game. And, according to Chrono Cross, the heroes create one when they defeat Lavos. Outside of the storyline, abusing the past/future mechanics to do the same event multiple times (take an item, beat the Omen) is also a paradox, since the first instance is now no longer possible in linear time. | |

But Thou Must!: Even if you know exactly the right things to do to gain a "not guilty" verdict during the trial, you still have to fight your way out of prison, because the judge sentences Crono to three days of solitary confinement for running off with her, and the Chancellor just orders for Crono to be executed anyways. Ayla will not allow you to forfeit the Drinking Contest if you lose to her. However, there's an Anti-Frustration Feature where losing too many times just makes Crono win by default. You can freely explain to Azala the purpose of the Gate Key, but she'll just retort that no one breaks under interrogation that quickly. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_5405b144 | comment |
Scratch Damage: Averted; if you have high enough levels and high-end equipment, weaker enemies will routinely deal zero damage. Some enemies have such high defense that you deal this to them. Fortunately, there are some weapons that ignore armor, and some enemies have weaknesses that, when exploited, will lower their defenses. | |

There's the Black Omen; since it appeared in 12,000 B.C. and stuck around ever since then, from the average schmuck's point of view, it's always been there. Only our time traveling heroes even know it's not "supposed" to be there. | |

Snow Means Death | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_55180ce | comment |
Snow Means Death: Snow or ashes are swirling around the world map of 2300 AD, but Death Peak is the only section in which snow is visible. It works on a thematic level, too: The party is journeying into limbo (or death itself) to retrieve Crono by using the Chrono Trigger to save him from his fate of being obliterated by Lavos. | |

Lovecraft Lite: An Eldritch Abomination from space crash-landed on a primeval planet and harvested life and eventually civilization, draining it of all energy. In the future, it will emerge and rain destruction on the surface, condemning any and all survivors to slowly die of starvation on the now again infertile planet.. Worst of all, it's part of its reproductive cycle, so your planet wasn't the first and likely won't be the last. Fortunately, this is a JRPG. It stands no chance against a ragtag bunch of time traveling teenagers with attitude. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: A few of them from the remake. Crono's Dreamseeker sword is obtained after defeating the Dream Devourer, which is not only the last Superboss which you can fight, but also far and away the hardest enemy in the game. The sword deals only slightly more damage than then Rainbow, but has a nine-in-ten chance of a critical hit as opposed to a seven-in-ten chance. In any case, you only get the best weapon for Crono after you'd need it most. Defeating the shadow clones of Crono, Marle, and Lucca in the Dimensional Vortexes gives the respective party member a stat boost. Since each of these clones is a Superboss of no small difficulty, you're probably already strong enough to tear through everything else you could face if you can beat these clones for the boost in stats which they provide. | |

Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: The original English script gave Frog an accent like this, even moreso than other characters in his era. Oddly enough, Frog talks normally in the flashback scenes to the time before his transformation. The Japanese version did not have this, and the remake, which featured a new translation, did not retain it. However, Frog still sounds more formal than he did in the Japanese version, like nearly everyone from the Middle Ages. | |

Fan Sequel: Chrono Resurrection was a fan-made project to remake key parts of Chrono Trigger as a Nintendo 64 Tech-Demo Game with awesome 3D graphics and remastered music. However, near the end of 2004, they received a Cease and Desist from Square Enix, and were forced to drop the project. Crimson Echoes, a Fan Sequel, was due to be released at the end of May 2009, but now that's gone too. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: The fiends are shown to be this. In 1000 AD, most of them hate humans, and only the imps with a Gate in their closet are friendly to the party. Later in the game, this is shown to be due to Ozzie's poisonous influence making them bigoted against humanity. If Ozzie is killed in an optional sidequest, the fiends in Medina are shown to be friendly and good-natured after 400 years without his racism. | |

Seems to be how time travel works in this game. Even if something changes hundreds or thousands of years in the past that should have major effects, like replacing a desert with a forest, ending Fantastic Racism between humans and mystics, or the Black Omen appearing in the sky, almost everything not directly related to those changes will be exactly the same as it was in the timeline without those changes. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The original game freely gave you them if you were just willing to grind for it. Right from the start, Crono can buy a Silver Sword from Melchior — the best available sword for the first three story arcs. And right after that, when you arrive in Medina Village, there are overpriced items that are strong enough to take on the end boss of the game. Usually, you wouldn't be able to afford it, but enemies in the Abandoned Sewers of 2300 AD drop obscene amounts of money. The Ice Water double tech (Marle + Frog) can wipe out most mobs of enemies in Magus' Castle in a single casting, and for a paltry MP cost of two points each. If you take the time to grind the Nu in the Hunting Grounds for enough Tech Points to unlock Ayla's Charm ability right after she first joins you, then you can score weapons and armor off of the prehistory enemies that otherwise wouldn't be available until after the Fiendlord's Keep. So not only can you take on the Disc-One Final Dungeon with better equipment than you'd normally have, you can also sell the extras for loads of cash. Items formerly unavailable until the endgame can be earned in the DS exclusive Arena of the Ages if you're patient enough. | |

Saving Lucca's mother. Without Save Scumming, you only get one shot at doing this, and the moment in question comes after a very lengthy cutscene, which means retries will take a lot of time. Figuring out what to do is hinted at in another room in the house, but you probably won't enter that room first before setting off the time-limited cutscene. How you enter that code also requires thinking outside the box; after hitting A to continue past the "Enter password" script, you actually enter the buttons L-A-R-A, each key followed by a chime sound. | |

Triumphant Reprise: A strange example in that the song itself isn't any different, just use differently. When you first travel to Antiquity, the ice-covered ground is without a BGM, while the floating kingdom of Zeal has a beautiful and mystical theme, symbolizing the divide between the people who live above and below. Much later, after Zeal is destroyed and the once-Enlightened Ones forced to live on the surface with the Earthbound ones, the theme is played almost continuously, symbolizing the newfound unity between the two peoples. | |

Prophetic Names | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_5db7301f | comment |
Prophetic Names: Crono, for a hero who saves the world via Time Travel. The Kingdom of Zeal, full of zealots secure in magical ability and worshipping an Eldritch Abomination. The Mammon Machine, which provides the kingdom with the magic which makes it prosperous, at the cost of enslaving them to an evil entity. Janus, who is a deceitful, untrustworthy boy. That also turns out to be the past self of one of your early antagonists. The "Wings of Time" is named as such by its creator Belthasar because, as a time machine, it can traverse different eras of time, despite not having literal wings...at first. However, after Dalton steals it from the heroes he upgrades it with literal wings so that it can fly, and that's without him even knowing that it's called the "Wings of Time". | |

Snakes Are Sexy | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_5dff28cf | comment |
There are hints of it between the humans and the fiends (intelligent monsters). Darkly justified; in the Manolia Cathedral in 600 A.D, you can find a non-hostile Naga whose one line is to burp loudly and comment on how the remaining human prisoners in the room with her look very tasty This is more prominent in the Japanese version, where the Mystics/Fiends always call themselves "Mazoku" (demon race/tribe), but the majority of Humans in the Middle Ages call them "Mamono" (In the Japanese language, the -mono suffix is usually used for animals and objects.) Humans in the present (excepting a castle guard) and even Frog always refer to them as "Mazoku." | |

In some cases, NPCs comment that the boxes have been passed down for generations and no one has been able to open them. | |

Ninja Prop: You can sneak through a section of the Abandoned Sewers, which is full of monsters, as long as you don't make any noise. This includes touching the save point, as the little chime that sounds will also get their attention. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Fighting Lavos at the Ocean Palace. It's technically not a hopeless fight, just incredibly difficult. The story dictates that you lose this fight, and Lavos has higher stats than normal in this encounter just to make sure, but if your stats are high enough, you can actually win, which will earn you the hardest ending — a visit to the Developer's Room.note This ending can also happen if you beat Lavos before you ever go back in time, thus being a Duel Boss between Crono and Lavos; it requires you to be on New Game Plus to even try though, much less win. | |

Multi-Stage Battle: Lavos's first form is battled on a weird rippling blue surface, while his final form is confronted on a trippy hyperspace-like background that has terrain from past levels randomly appear on it. You're probably in temporal freefall at that point. Lavos' attacks vary depending on the background. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: When running around the Blackbird, special care must be taken to not be noticed, or you'll be captured and thrown back to your cell. If you have Ayla in your party, she will be able to engage in battle, although she is the only one able to do so. This is in spite of your characters' ability to cast magic, or in Robo's case, use his inbuilt laser cannons. During the "Day of Lavos" footage, he launches a bunch of spines in the air, which alone is enough to reduce most of the domed cities to ruins and leads to the end of civilization. When you actually go to 1999 AD to fight him, he does have a "Rain Destruction" attack which hits the whole party, but is obviously way weaker than whatever he used in the video. Marle can cast the healing spell Aura before she learns to cast magic in the story. I mean, come on, you need a healing spell. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: Marle's disappearance in 600 AD is the sole occasion that a wholesale reality rewrite happens in front of the protagonists before the triggering event even occurs. In every other occasion, anyone who's traveled through time remembers both the world before and after, and the changes don't appear until the trigger has occurred and the new future is visited. Characters will reference seeing a door at the Keeper's Dome in 2300 AD. Visiting this area during the time you were in that era is not only completely optional, but no one even suggests that you should go there at any time. If anything, you're told at the time to avoid Death Peak, which is near said dome. In New Game Plus, the characters will make their usual statements upon fighting Lavos... even if it's early enough that they shouldn't know what it is yet. | |

Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs: The Reptites' numbers are devastated due to the fall of Lavos, which is depicted hurtling through outer space before plunging as a fiery rock through the sky. The world isn't Earth, but it's similar enough that this event occurred 65 million years ago like the actual extinction of the dinosaurs. For contrast, the rulers of said dinosaurs were bipedal and sentient. Lavos happened to land on their capital, killing the majority of them. However, the DS remake shows a colony of reptites that survive the following ice age. | |

Decade Dissonance: The Kingdom of Zeal's Enlightened Ones and the Earthbound Ones existing in the dark ages side by side. The non-magic Earthbound Ones were forced to live on the surface by the Enlightened Ones, where they have to scrape out a living for themselves in the wilderness. A comment from an NPC in the Earthbound Village implies that things weren't always this way, but at the time of the game, only Schala and the Gurus treat the Earthbound Ones as equals, until after the Ocean Palace, where the Enlightened Ones lose their magic and learn to co-exist with the Earthbound Ones. | |

Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Slight amusement can be found in naming Marle, Frog, Robo, and Magus their real names, once you've played through the game and know what they are.note Although you don't get the opportunity to name that last guy until after you find out their true identity. The remake allows six-letter names for characters, as memory issues limited the original to five letters, allowing the player to name Crono as he was intended in the Japanese version ("Chrono"). | |

Loyalty Mission | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_69ef378b | comment |
Loyalty Mission: Frog gets this twice: He first joins Crono and Lucca as a Guest-Star Party Member to rescue Queen Leene, but then retreats to the Cursed Woods because he failed to prevent her from being kidnapped in the first place. Fetching the Hero Medal and reforging the Masamune snaps him out of his funk and gets him to join the party permanently. Much later, freeing the ghost of his old friend Cyrus from its torment gives Frog additional closure and, incidentally, the Masamune a much-needed power boost. Robo gets two: The first starts out as an unrelated sidequest to restore a forest. However, it turns out that such a restoration is a job that will take many centuries. Thus, Robo stays behind to see it done. When you meet him again, he's gained quite a new perspective on life. The second is in 2300 AD, where you go to the Geno Dome. Here, Robo learns his real origins and the purpose for which he was made, but chooses to side with his human friends and defeat his creator. The Rainbow Shell quest turns out to be this for Marle, since it ultimately ends with her saving her father from being unjustly convicted of selling the Shell, and thus repairing her relationship with him. | |

Trick Boss | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_6acf5d1b | comment |
Trick Boss: Flea's henchmonster, who exists only to cast MP Buster on you before the real one shows up. The Golem Overlord counts, but not the other Golem-type bosses. The Golem Boss is too afraid of heights to attack you on the Blackbird, and it's impossible to lose. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Janus comes from the two-faced Roman god of gates and doors, and indicated transition. Magus has mystical connotations, and is the singular form for the three Magi that visited Jesus in Christian mythology who, in another case of Woolsey's influence, are named Belthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar. Magus's two Japanese names keep this trend. Janus's Japanese name is Jaki, which basically refers to an evil imp, or small demon, and his title is Ma�, which basically means "Demon King". Queen Zeal, as "zeal" means great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective. And she is certainly enthusiastic about her devotion to Lavos. The people of Zeal named their power extractor the Mammon Machine. The Hero of a time traveling plot is named Chrono (or Crono), which literally means "time." Frog's original name was Glenn, and is referred to as "Grenn" in promotional materials. 'Grenn' is short for the French word for frog "grenouille". Toma, the pair of adventurers who the party run into in 600 and 1000, are part of a long line of Tomas, and supposedly they all look exactly the same. (One shows up in Chrono Cross as well.) The name is derived from T'om'a, an Aramaic term meaning 'twin'. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Touch, but do not open, a sealed chest in 600 A.D. before going to the same chest in 1000 A.D. to find an upgraded version of the item you'd find otherwise. A great trick the game only hints at by saying, "The item is reacting to the pendant" if you approach it in the Middle Ages, when the obvious course of action is to open the 1000 A.D. chest first and then go back to 600 A.D. Since not all sealed chests are upgradable, you may already think you won't be given a confirmation as to whether or not to open the chest at all. Worst of all, one of the upgraded chests contains Marle's ultimate weapon. Saving Lucca's mother. Without Save Scumming, you only get one shot at doing this, and the moment in question comes after a very lengthy cutscene, which means retries will take a lot of time. Figuring out what to do is hinted at in another room in the house, but you probably won't enter that room first before setting off the time-limited cutscene. How you enter that code also requires thinking outside the box; after hitting A to continue past the "Enter password" script, you actually enter the buttons L-A-R-A, each key followed by a chime sound. Getting the Golden Gemstone accessory requires you to complete the Hero's Grave sidequest. Then you have to put Frog in the lead position and travel to the long-since completed Denadoro Mountains until you encounter the Freelancer who throws rocks at you. Your hints at this from NPCs or elsewhere are nonexistent. In order to acquire the Silver Gemstone, you have to return to the Laruba Ruins after defeating Giga Gaia at the Mountain of Woe. Here, you'll find a Nu who has it. The Nu also allows you to change the names of the characters. The "Memory Lane" ending. Nearly all of the Multiple Endings accessible in a New Game Plus playthrough are reached by defeating Lavos during relatively broad "windows," such as "after defeating Boss A, but before defeating Boss B." However, this particular ending can only be viewed by defeating Lavos after witnessing Schala open the door to the throne room, but before taking the party's pendant to the Mammon Machine — the latter action is normally done immediately after the former, and it's extremely unlikely that the idea of "I think I'll backtrack out of here and defeat Lavos right this moment" would naturally occur to anyone in the absence of a guide. And if you try to leave Zeal Palace after powering up the Pendant, you learn the Queen has ordered for the palace to be locked down while she's away, and you can't leave. Norstein Bekkler gives you a cat for winning one of his games. After getting the cat, he then rewards cat food for each win to prevent Crono's cats from running away. It's hard to understand how much food is being consumed by the cats to keep them satisfied and how it attracts more cats to Crono's house, causing players to become confused as to how they got more cats in one moment and then end up with less of them the next time they return home. | |

Zero-Effort Boss: The Golem Overlord doesn't even attack. It just counts down from 5 to 1, at which point it does nothing. It complains about being afraid of heights, so if the player doesn't attack, it eventually runs away. You can't really lose, but if you don't beat the boss before it runs, you miss out on some free EXP. | |

Marathon Boss: If the player doesn't opt to ram the Epoch through the outer shell, facing Lavos head-on via traveling to the Day of Lavos results in him fighting with the patterns and stats of a large number of bosses from across the game, to the point that the player's allowed to switch party members between each fight just because of its sheer length. The actual Final Boss battles with Lavos don't last anywhere near as long usually. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Pretty much everything about the cover, which was based on the beta version of the game, is wrong. Frog (wearing a cape) is recovering on the ground while Marle (wearing a pink snowsuit) uses fire magic (even though she has ice-based powers) to empower Chrono's sword, while Chrono (also wearing a cape) charges at the Heckran (can't even be fought when Frog is in your party) in a snowfield (while the Heckran lives in a cave). A Bonus Dungeon in the remake allows you to legitimately do what the cover shows, because you go to another snowy mountain area, where a Heckran-like monster lives. However, it's a snowbeast, and the only tech similar to the cover's depiction is the Ice-elemental Arc Impulse, and using that on an ice-based creature would be a hilariously bad idea. One of the scenes depicted in the manual — Crono sleeping, Frog tripping, Lucca repairing Robo, and Marle bringing tea — happens in "The Oath" ending, which is non-canon. Ayla is often seen with a large wooden club in her artwork and one FMV scene, even though she never uses such a weapon in-game. In fact, she uses no weapons except her Fists, which upgrade to Iron Fists and then Bronze Fists. | |

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: There's two very ominous-sounding mountains in the game: Death Peak and the Mountain of Woe. The Black Omen. In-game, however, if you go to the present while the Black Omen is around, it's been around for so long that no one thinks much of it. Geno Dome is pretty benign, even a little odd, in its localized name. In Japanese, though, it's Genocidome, underscoring the installation's purpose. | |

Healing Boss: Mother Brain has three displays that heal her. Lavos's final form plays with this. It consists of a humanoid form in the center of the screen that launches powerful magic attacks, a pod on the left that casts support spells, and a pod on the right with high defense that doesn't seem to do much. If the humanoid form or left pod are killed, the right pod will lower its defenses and revive the others. But if the right pod dies, the others die with it. | |

The "Wings of Time" is named as such by its creator Belthasar because, as a time machine, it can traverse different eras of time, despite not having literal wings...at first.

From Bad to Worse | |

In the original timeline, Zeal and its Queen were destroyed by Lavos. Thanks to the heroes' actions, the Queen survives and the Ocean Palace becomes the Black Omen, a monstrous floating labyrinth that simply sits over the entire world. | |

Commonplace Rare: Spiced Jerky. Once a signature of Guardia Castle's Master Of Kitchens, at some point he will sell the recipe, which will find its way to the owner of the Snail Stop in Porre. You only need one piece, to finish a sidequest. Prior to that, you can use another piece on the Chancellor's advice as a peace offering to King Guardia XXXIII, only to accidentally worsen the relationship between him and Marle when he reveals it's bad for his health. Oop. | |

San Dimas Time: Your adventures in the past seem to have a checkpoint system — you can go back to 65,000,000 BC/12000 BC/600 AD, yes, but you won't have to do anything more than once. Also, there are a few instances where one can tell that time took place while you weren't in a specific time period; for instance, the Broken Bridge in 600 AD gets fixed "while" you're having adventures in 1000 AD and 2300 AD. | |

Magus is the Token Evil Teammate and even him joining at all is at the player's discretion. So he has no double techs while his triple techs require an accessory which only does just that at a point when accessories are vital to a character's effectiveness. His teamwork is completely in the player's hands. | |

The remake introduced the Lost Sanctum, two villages and two mountains full of Fetch Quests: Find an item, take it to the guy on top of the mountain, walk back down the mountain to the village. Now climb the mountain again to talk to the guy again to figure out what you need to fetch for him next. Get the item, climb to the top of the mountain, be told it's the wrong item, climb down the mountain. You spend as much time traveling through the same four or five screens as you do on the rest of the game's sidequests combined. At least the rewards are usually worth it. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After rescuing Queen Leene, the Chancellor in 600 AD insists on creating a criminal justice system after his kidnapping to deter criminal and monster activity. By 1000 AD, the system has been corrupted into a star chamber under the Chancellor of the time, thus causing major trouble between the kingdom and the heroes until it's revealed that the Chancellor is fake and is actually Yakra XIII, a descendant of the original Yakra, in disguise. Upon discovering a video in 2300 A.D. that shows how the world ended in 1999 A.D., the party decides to save the future. This caused several events to go downhill. Subverted by the heroes when they invade the Fiendlord's Keep in an attempt to stop Magus from creating Lavos. After defeating him, they learn that Magus only summoned Lavos in an attempt to destroy him. Lavos then wakes up, and causes Magus and the heroes to be sucked into a giant Gate. Magus curses Crono and company for interfering, but it's heavily implied that in the original timeline that Lavos destroyed Magus. The heroes' interference actually saves Magus from being killed. Ayla heads to the secret Laruba Village to gather reinforcements, but the Reptites follow her there, setting fire to the whole village. Ayla vows to make amends. In the original timeline, Zeal and its Queen were destroyed by Lavos. Thanks to the heroes' actions, the Queen survives and the Ocean Palace becomes the Black Omen, a monstrous floating labyrinth that simply sits over the entire world. | |

Background Music Override | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_80f38afe | comment |
Background Music Override: After seeing the video of the Day of Lavos, the titular track plays as the heroes decide to change the future and bring down Lavos, with the heroic track continuing to play until the basement has been left. There's a section of the Fiendlord's Keep where the normal battle music is overriden by the minimalist dungeon music, and nearly every sound has an echo effect added to it. The Ocean Palace dungeon is probably one of the most memorable instances of this. The game double dips by replaying the Ocean Palace BGM during King Guardia XXXIII's trial, adding a sense of urgency to Marle's efforts to clear him. Bring Magus to the boss battle against Zeal; he'll banter with Zeal for a bit before the fight, where his theme replaces the more bombastic Boss Battle 2 theme. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Reversed. Marle uses ice magic but is extroverted and passionate; Lucca uses fire but is more cerebral and scientific. The are the Red Beast and Blue Beast in a certain boss fight. You can probably guess which elements of magic they each are immune vs. weak to. In the remake, there are two bosses literally called Red Demon and Blue Demon who can revive each other. The only way to kill them is to beat them at the same time. | |

Superboss | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_8454f523 | comment |
Superboss: Many players consider Spekkio's final form (a Nu, which he assumes when someone in your party is Level 99) to be harder than the Final Boss. This is due to his tendency of spamming Hallation and then immediately follow it up with Luminaire or Dark Matter, frequently resulting in a Total Party Kill. The remake adds the Dream Devourer, which can be fought after beating all three Dimensional Vortexes. Beating it grants Crono's Dreamseeker sword and the newly added Dream's Epilogue ending. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Whatever happened to Schala? Radical Dreamers was conceived to rectify this. Due to Masato Kato not being satisfied with it and the short amount of time it took to develop it, the Mind Screw that was Chrono Cross was created, with her playing and even larger role in it than in Radical Dreamers. What happened to the Lost Sanctum and the Reptite survivors after 600 AD? No clue. Dalton just kind of disappears in the original version of the game with no further mention of him after his final boss fight. The remake eventually has him come back in one of the Dimensional Vortexes in order to provide a bit of an explanation as to his eventual fate. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_86d4f985 | comment |
Doing In the Wizard: As one might expect from a JRPG, there's magic abilities involved. As one likely would not expect, this actually has an entirely non-supernatural reason in-universe, namely that Lavos' secondhand contact with humanity resulted in latent mutation that awakened this potential within mankind as a whole. This, incidentally, is why Ayla can't use magic: she was born before Lavos crashed down. | |

Joke Item: The Mop, which is acquired by charming a Nu. It's a weapon for Crono with an attack rating of 1, which is lower than his starting weapon. There's no trick to getting good damage out of it and it doesn't unlock any secret techs or quests. It's just a mop that's incredibly weak. Ozzie Pants, which can be obtained by charming Ozzie, is a headgear that provides a massive buff in physical defense. However, it also saps the wearer's HP and inflicts Auto-Confusion that cannot be nullified by other items, making it completely useless. | |

Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology: The technology of 65,000,000 is in many cases more advanced than that of 2300. Elixir (called "Sweet Water" in this time) can be had for the asking, they can make powerful robot arms out of stone and awe-inspiring guns and armor from rubies, and Dreamstone is common enough to win in a drinking contest. And none of this is magical, since magic doesn't exist yet. The net result is a sort of Garden of Eden, where Stone Age crafts have the power of futuristic technology and Magitek. | |

Skippable Boss: After the Fall of Zeal, the battle against Magus on North Cape can be skipped. When the boss asks if you want to fight, replying "No" will have the party leader remark that it won't solve anything right now. The Boss Rush that begins the Final Boss battle against Lavos can be skipped by crashing into its outer shell with the Epoch. However, doing this destroys the Epoch and prevents you from going back, making it a Point of No Return. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: Explored here. In essence, the article concludes that there are several points in the game where the established laws of time travel in the game's universe have to be bent or broken for events to proceed as they do. One significant instance occurs early in the story, where Marle accidentally erases herself from existence just by showing up in the past. After Lucca and Crono set things right again, the entire concept of time travel being that precarious is completely jettisoned for the rest of the game. | |

Your Size May Vary | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: When you fight Lavos, he takes up about half the screen and seems to be about as large as a big house, certainly small enough to fit inside the Mammon Machine room at the Ocean Palace. However, his appearance in the Day of Lavos recording and the cutscene prior to his fight display a city-sized Lavos splitting the earth. He left a small-continent sized crater after crashing on earth in Prehistory. The upgraded Epoch, which is almost as large as Lavos's battle sprite. may be crash landed through its shell inside of him. Its insides sprawl at least over four screen heights, certainly larger than Leene's Square. And his first of two final forms is also about as large as he is on the outside. | |

Backtracking: Mainly the segment after getting the ability to open sealed doors and chests. Not especially onerous once the Epoch can fly, but most will do this before that.

Non-Standard Game Over: In the end, the future refused to change.◊ If the party is defeated by Magus in Fiendlord's Keep, he'll turns around nonchalantly and finishes his summoning Lavos. The scene fades to black as Lavos' scream is heard. To a lesser extent, losing to The Dragon has the camera pan over to your fallen party with the song "The Day the World Revived" playing before fading away. | |

Wham Episode: The Ocean Palace. The party arrives too late to stop the Queen from awakening Lavos with the Mammon Machine and their attempt to stop the Machine with the Ruby Knife, which is revealed to be the Masamune in the process, fails. The Prophet is actually Magus, though this was telegraphed. What certainly isn't telegraphed, however, is the fact that he shares the party's goal of destroying Lavos. Lavos destroys Zeal and much of the surface of the planet is flooded. And on top of all this, Crono, the Player Character who for the entire game so far has always been the lead character in the party, is erased from existence by Lavos. Also, after this point, aside from getting kidnapped and robbed by Dalton and taken prisoner on the Blackbird, the rest of the game becomes markedly less linear and it isn't required to do all of the remaining content to beat the game. Even reviving Crono is optional. | |

It's possible to dethrone Ozzie in the past so when you return, Ozzie VIII is now a servant being bullied by the other monsters. While the player and the PCs know what happened, it's a Bewildering Punishment to Ozzie VIII since he was never a bully in this timeline. | |

Improvised Lightning Rod: Crono and Frog have a Dual Tech called Lightning Rod ("Spire" on SNES) in which Frog leaps at the enemy and impales them with his broadsword, then Crono hits the sword with a lightning spell. | |

Hollywood Prehistory | |

Hollywood Prehistory: 65,000,000 BC is a visitable era in the game. It has all the expected features — bow-legged cavemen and hot cavewomen who speak in You No Take Candle, who coexist with Dinosaurs. The twist was that the Dinosaurs are a civilized race who are in the middle of a stated war of racial survival with the humans. | |

Grandfather Paradox | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_90f2fd8a | comment |
Briefly happens to Marle by way of the Grandfather Paradox in the first part of the game: She happened to land at the point where her ancestor Queen Leene had been kidnapped. Because Marle looks so much like her ancestor, everyone mistook her for their queen and called the search off, leading to Marle being erased out of existence shortly after her reunion with Crono. Fortunately, the queen had not been killed yet, so Crono, Lucca and Frog managed to save her and return Marle to existence. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_91526ff7 | comment |
Absurdly High Level Cap: The maximum level is 99, represented by a double-star (**). By the time you reach the Final Boss, you'll probably be around level 50 and just finished with maxing out everyone's Tech Points. Even the DS and PC remakes, which add Bonus Dungeons and Optional Bosses aplenty, won't get you much further than level 60 if you do everything. You have to grind a lot to reach level 99, especially if you want to do it on one playthrough. You need to exploit the respawning of a group of enemies in a dungeon, or run through New Game Plus several times to get anywhere close to the maximum level. | |

All Cavemen Were Neanderthals: Subverted. While the people in prehistory are rather simple-minded compared to later time periods, they aren't stupid or completely primitive; they're already showing the signs of a somewhat early form of currency and trade, for starters. Ayla in particular exemplifies the "simple but not stupid" statement above. Not to mention that the weapons and armor you can buy from them are stronger than the armor you come in with. | |

Set Right What Once Went Wrong | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_93ed8515 | comment |
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Crono sets to prevent the assassination of Queen Leene before Marle's wiped from existence. In the middle ages, the great forest in South Zenan was destroyed by Magus' army. Fiona pledged to carry on during her husband Marco's absence in the war and regrow the forest by hand; however, she died before she could complete her mission and the wasteland continued to grow. If Fiona's ancestor was convinced to keep a plant in 12,000 BC, the true cause of the desertification is revealed. After killing the fiend who was causing the Sunken Desert to form, Robo offers to stay behind in the past and tend to the fields, pointing out that the party can easily pop back to the present and pick him up. In the new present, the forest has overtaken the desert completely, and a shrine stands in tribute to Fiona and Robo's sacrifice. As promised, the rusty robot is waiting to be reactivated on an altar. Lucca was indirectly responsible for her mother, Lara's, paralysis as she could not figure out how to shut off her father's machine in time. To atone for her failure, Lucca became a mechanics expert; Lara remained bitter over the incident and her daughter and husband's obsession with "silly machines." Lucca can give her younger self a boost by entering the passcode to stop the treadmill, saving her mother and allowing her to walk, while young Lucca decides to study machines to prevent further accidents. In the Moonlight Festival epilogue, Lara invites Taban to dance. Although the humans eventually drove back Magus' horde, relations between the two clans remain frosty, and a growing number of fiends are still worshiping the memory of their dear leader. After the party takes Magus out, Ozzie becomes the new leader; killing him removes all lingering influence over Medina. Fiends are no longer hostile to humans and the store prices have dropped to sane levels at last. Lavos' final defeat saves the future and averts the robot apocalypse. This is confirmed in The Legendary Hero ending with Robo and Atropos sitting in a futuristic Leene Square. | |

While the present day remains peaceful, our heroes accidentally discover Time Travel and the Bad Future that Lavos will create in 1999AD, and set off on a quest through time itself to change that future. | |

Exposed to the Elements: You have to wonder how well Ayla's holding up when you take her into the Ice Age, but then again, none of the other party members are adequately dressed for those conditions, and they never say anything about it either. | |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_9b73b497 | comment |
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: If Frog is in your party during the second battle with Magus, he insists on fighting him alone. If he's with you during the Ocean Palace incident, he's not happy when Magus is almost done in by Lavos. "You cannot die at the hands of some other foe! You're mine to defeat!" | |

Took a Level in Badass: Frog is a Failure Knight when you first meet him, and is even said to have been Drowning His Sorrows. He gets much, much better; not that he wasn't badass before, but he's able to split a mountain in half and take on alien Eldritch Abomination creatures near game's end. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: After pursuing Marle when she disappears in Lucca's teleportation device, Crono unknowingly ends up traveling through time to the past. While you have no idea where you are until you speak to a few NPCs, saving the game at this point will give you the chapter title "The Middle Ages". Checking the data for the Hero Medal shows that it can only be equipped by Frog. This can be done before you meet up with him to assemble the Masamune. In the SNES version, Magus' name is not spelled in all-caps like other NPCs during one of Frog's flashbacks. This is a very subtle clue that he is recruitable later on. Additionally, after the Kingdom of Zeal crash lands, you gain access to a dealer who sells scythes among other things. Scythes are the weapons for Magus, who can join your team shortly after. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The attractions of the Millenial Fair are based on areas of the game the player will eventually get to, starting with Leene's Bell, constructed in 600 AD. Gato has a passing resemblance to the R-Series robots from 2300 AD; and the tribal dance shares similarities with the setting of 65,000,000 BC. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the second visit to 65,000,000 BC: when going to hitch a ride from the Dactyls at Dactyl Nest, you can see a distant, red twinkle in the sky. This is Lavos, approaching the planet. | |

Evil Takes a Nap: After violently crash-landing on Earth in 65,000,000 B.C., Lavos burrows its way into the core of the planet and spends a very long time sleeping until he finally erupts in the Day of Lavos, 1999 A.D., an event which devastated the whole planet to the point where even Earth's ecosystem is dying. There are a few other points along the timeline when Lavos is awakened prematurely, and he is not happy about it. | |

Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_9e236a98 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: Humanity in the future is completely reliant on technology taking care of their needs because most life is dead. Robo is the most self-sufficient character in the party, capable of attacking with nearly every element but water and healing both single targets and party wide. Magus is the Token Evil Teammate and even him joining at all is at the player's discretion. So he has no double techs while his triple techs require an accessory which only does just that at a point when accessories are vital to a character's effectiveness. His teamwork is completely in the player's hands. | |

If you take the time to grind the Nu in the Hunting Grounds for enough Tech Points to unlock Ayla's Charm ability right after she first joins you, then you can score weapons and armor off of the prehistory enemies that otherwise wouldn't be available until after the Fiendlord's Keep. So not only can you take on the Disc-One Final Dungeon with better equipment than you'd normally have, you can also sell the extras for loads of cash. | |

Lazy Backup: Played straight for all but one instance: the future Dimensional Vortex locks your active party behind a door, which is when the rest of the party shows up to flip the switch on the other side of the facility. Particularly bizarre as you can instantly switch out when not in combat, despite it being implied the switched character had to take the closest gate to catch up to you. | |

The Abandoned Sewers is full of subterranean monsters who will attack the party if they make any sound. After avoiding various noise-making hazards, Crono and friends may gladly walk into a Save Point, which makes a characteristic "ding". It cause the monsters to "hear" it and rush out to attack. Once the monsters are defeated, however, it works as well as any other save point. | |

Joke Ending: Has two: The "Memory Lane" ending features Marle and Lucca discussing the various male characters and what they really think about them. Then Heroic Mime Chrono appears, gives his only line in the entirety of the game, and they all run offscreen. Defeating the final boss Lavos (which you can access at almost any time) before defeating the leader of the reptile people in the ancient past results in the reptiles becoming the dominant species, changing the timeline such that all of the main characters are now reptilians. Though in the sequel, Chrono Cross, an alternate timeline with dominant reptilians is a major plot point. | |

Yakra XIII starts the game off as an Evil Chancellor and adviser to King Guardia. During the very first time travel, when the heroes meet the first Yakra, his family swears vengeance after he is defeated. Yakra puts Crono on trial for abduction, and despite it being possible to get a Not Guilty verdict, he tricks the Warden into thinking Crono was convicted and must be executed. He also sentenced another young man to a similar fate, whom Crono and Lucca can rescue. Later, Yakra strains the relationship between the King and his daughter Marle. Then, he decides to trick the people of the Guardia Kingdom into convicting the King and forcing him to sign his kingdom over. It's only when Marle and her friends step in that the King is saved. | |

Mood Whiplash: Traveling directly from the Present to the Future near the beginning of the game is a particularly notable example of this, especially when you discover the main problem with Enertrons. Within the same segment of the game, you fight a powerful Guardian boss to find that the guy who went down to bring back food died (leaving behind a widow and their child) and the entire food stores have gone rotten, with the only hope for survival that the people have left is some seeds you found down there. Then you discover the true nature of where you've ended up. Pretty heavy stuff. Then you leave Arris Dome and get into a hover bike race against "Johnny", a wacky robot/trike hybrid with an inexplicable beatnik personality. | |

Paying It Forward: At the beginning of the game, there's a rich Jerkass who gives you 10 gold if you dance like a chicken. His children hate him, his wife is worried about how this affects their family, and there's two treasure chests in his house. Later in the game, you can run across the man's ancestors who ask you if you can spare some food. If you give her some Spiced Jerky for free, she swears that her children will learn to be generous towards strangers. If you return to the present, the man now preaches helping the needy and sharing alike, his children love him... and his wife is worried that his generosity will impoverish them. | |

In Fiendlord's Keep, falling through a trap door in one room will land you in a large cavern with four apparent save points, one in each of the four cardinal directions. One is a save point, a second is actually a teleporter that will take you to the room you fell from, and the other two trigger battles with multiple fake save points. These switch around every time you fall into the room.HintThe two fake save points are always opposite each other, and the teleporter is always opposite the real save point. | |

Pre-existing Encounters | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_a8f9cca9 | comment |
Pre-existing Encounters: The Trope Codifier for JRPGs. All the encounters are pre-scripted and appear at the same point and with the same enemies every playthrough, and many are also avoidable and allow you to see their contents beforehand. On the other hand, quite a few battles are unavoidable ambushes set at fixed points, which respawn every time you change "screens". Some rare enemies only appear at random, although it's still your choice to fight them or not. | |

Hidden Elf Village | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_a971e83c | comment |
Hidden Elf Village: Laruba is a tribe of people in prehistoric times who want to hide from the reptites rather than fight. Even most of the Ioka tribe doesn't know where they are, all for the sake of keeping them hidden. Interestingly enough, the Lost Sanctum in the DS remake, consisting of reptites hiding from fiends, also qualifies. History repeats, it seems. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The music that plays at the end of the trial is the same whether you are sentenced to death or simply three days in jail. In the first case, the music fits, but in the second case it just comes off as overdramatic since the Chancellor doesn't falsely have the sentence changed to death until after the music starts. | |

Many players consider Spekkio's final form (a Nu, which he assumes when someone in your party is Level 99) to be harder than the Final Boss. This is due to his tendency of spamming Hallation and then immediately follow it up with Luminaire or Dark Matter, frequently resulting in a Total Party Kill. | |

Informed Flaw: Everybody says Lucca and her father are a pair of incompetent mad scientists, most likely because Taban built a machine that ended up accidentally crippling his wife and traumatizing Lucca, who had to see it. However, Lucca is seen inventing different types of offensive weapons, hypnotic devices, and an item capable of controlling tears in the fabric of time. Meanwhile, Taban develops increasingly effective suits of body armor for his daughter to use. Taban and Lucca still have this reputation even if you use time travel to make it so the inciting incident never came to pass, which makes any reason for them to be considered as bad inventors happen entirely where the player can't see it. | |

Always Close: Happens quite a few times. No matter how long you take getting there, you always get to Magus's inner sanctum just before he completes the ritual to summon Lavos. Regardless of your expedition through the Ocean Palace, you'll arrive just before the Mammon Machine is overloaded, though throwing the Ruby Knife into it probably doesn't help things. And trying to get the evidence to save Marle's father will always involve breaking in just before the King is dragged away to jail. | |

Remixed Level: When you last leave the Tyranno Lair, it's reduced to a smoldering crater that is visible from space. Lavos' impact buries the castle underground, where it eventually becomes accessible again in 600 AD. It's actually more of a merging of the trap-filled caves of the Reptite Lair and the prison/throne room associated with Azala; the outdoor areas of Tyranno Lair were obliterated. The Ocean Palace is seemingly nuked by Lavos, but is quickly transmogrified into the Black Omen. | |

The Dragon Tank is fought on the connecting bridge between Guardia Castle and the prison tower. When the tank explodes, the Chancellor rushes in to make repairs, but ends up on hanging for dear life when the bridge collapses. | |

Good Morning, Crono: The trope namer is one of the opening lines in the initial translation of the game, where Crono's mom wakes him up to go to the Millennial Fair. Later, Crono has a bizarre dream where the exact scenario plays out with the Mysterious Waif instead of momma. And when you finish the game normally, this is again replayed, but this time with a soldier waking him up. Oddly, advertisements for the remake referenced the line verbatim, even though the actual phrase isn't used in the retranslation. | |

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: After Crono, Marle, and Lucca jump into the 2300 A.D. portal when Crono escapes from jail, the guards seem to forget about them, as later you can go to Guardia Castle and nobody will attempt arresting Crono. If you talk to the soldiers and other people in the castle after they stop chasing you out, they'll say that the king pardoned Crono after being pleaded to by Pierre, and that only the Chancellor really believes Crono is guilty to begin with. This is before the Chancellor is discovered to be Yakra's descendant, which makes it more clear that the Chancellor just doesn't want you snooping around. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The fight against the first Golem cuts you a little slack. The battle can be tough if you don't know what you're doing, but even without grinding, it's not a Hopeless Boss Fight. However, since the plot requires that you be captured at the end of the sequence anyway, you won't be given a game over for losing. If you win, the game won't quite declare that The Battle Didn't Count, as the Golem stays dead, but all that changes plotwise is that Dalton takes you out with his Cutscene Power to the Max instead. During the prehistoric Drinking Contest, if Crono finishes his bowl before Ayla does, you win! If Ayla does, then thou must challenge her to a rematch, and if you lose too many times, Ayla can't go on and forfeits. | |

Added Alliterative Appeal | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_b5049d76 | comment |
Added Alliterative Appeal: In the original SNES localization, all the basic skeleton family enemies' names begin with "De-": Deceased, Decedent, Defunct, and Departed. The Bug and Beetle enemies have a similar alliteration going on, but it's not quite as noticeable, since there are only two enemies in the family and both names are very common, contextually-appropriate words. | |

Gave Up Too Soon | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_b579ecc6 | comment |
Gave Up Too Soon: In the "Reunion" ending. Marle desperately fails to convince anyone to join her in saving Crono while they all return to their eras. Disappointed, she returns home with Lucca. The camera pans back to Gaspar, who notices that everyone had left, either while he was recovering the Chrono Trigger, or accidentally leaving it behind. It all works out though, because the party tracks Gaspar down, and Crono is restored offscreen. | |

Amoral Attorney: The Chancellor functions as one: bribing witnesses, twisting the facts, summarily executing people who are found not guilty, etc. Pierre, the actual lawyer, is the one trying to help you. It makes more sense when you realize that it isn't actually the Chancellor; it's Yakra XIII posing as the Chancellor. | |

If you advise her to plant it, then her descendant and Robo will restore a great forest between 600 and 1000 AD. In 2300 AD, the party don't find any food for the people of Arris Dome, but they do find seeds that can be used to grow food again. | |

Lost in Translation: Crono's mother's name, Jina, is never used in the English versions. Jaki becoming Janus, Jiru becoming Zeal, and Silvard becoming Epoch creates allusions to Classical Mythology, zealotry, and time, not present in the original names. Magus conveys a powerful wizard, but loses the meaning of Demon King, or Ma�. Ozzie, Slash and Flea lose their condiment Theme Naming of Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Mayonnaise. The three Gurus lose their Onomatopoeia theme naming of Gash, Hash and Bosch. | |

Magic Must Defeat Magic | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_b8eb6a69 | comment |
Magic Must Defeat Magic: At his highest level, Optional Boss Spekkio is completely immune to physical damage and can only be damaged by magic. Conversely, he only casts spells, so equipping Lucca with her Elemental Aegis makes the fight very long but almost unlosable. Magus' first battle is the Trope Namer for Barrier Change Boss, in which he takes very little damage from physical attacks and only takes damage from the element the barrier isn't reflecting at the moment (which changes with every attack made against him). No matter the party's composition (on the first playthrough at least.), there will only be three elements out of four available to the party*Level grinding your characters to be able to cast tier 2 spells of their respective elements will unlock Triple Techs, which are always Shadow element, ensuring a tough fight. | |

Various Character Witnesses from across time appear to vouch for your story, and Lucca then presents herself brandishing the Gate Key.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Dalton. He's such a wimp in his boss fights, and yet on two different occasions, he nullifies the entire party with a flick of his wrist.note Once in Queen Zeal's throne room, when after the party beats the Golem, he imprisons them in a forcefield, the second just after the fall of Zeal when he knocks them out with fireballs. He's even fated to score an Offscreen Moment of Awesome when he turns Porre into a military state and brings down Guardia with it. | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd | comment |
Cutscene Incompetence: In the prehistoric era, the party is "hopelessly outnumbered" by eight Reptites, even though they'd just defeated five of them moments before. In Zeal, when the party gets captured by Dalton, they've taken out monsters and the Fiendlord by this point, and yet get captured by a few guards. When the party lets Dalton take Schala after he threatens her life. He obviously wouldn't kill her, since Schala is the only one who can control the Mammon Machine, but he tells them "I do not fear the Queen". | |

Broken Bridge | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_c5f23623 | comment |
Broken Bridge: A literal case of Zenan Bridge in 600 AD. The first time you go to this time period, the bridge is busted, and you can't cross. Only after coming there for the second time is the bridge repaired. Trying to cross Site 32 before investigating Arris Dome will trigger a never-ending loop of Random Encounters until you give up and go somewhere else. The unforgiving winds on Death Peak ordinarily need you to hide behind trees to avoid the winds. Get caught in the winds, and you're blown back down. If you try to climb Death Peak before you're supposed to, the winds will just blow you off the mountain, no matter where you are. | |

Campfire Character Exploration | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_c633ea76 | comment |
Campfire Character Exploration: During the Fiona's Forest sidequest, leaving Robo in the past to plant a forest ends with the party around a campfire. There's little they talk about, but it ends up with Lucca discovering a red Gate to the day her mother lost her legs. If the player is quick enough, Lucca can save her mother, restoring her legs in the present. Robo then comes up to her and comforts her whether or not she succeeded, and gives her an item he made. | |

Idle Animation: The party does this when they don't move around on the overworld. Crono waves his hands as if trying to get your attention. Lucca sits down and reads a book. Marle just sits down. Robo seems to power down, Frog inflates his throat repeatedly and Ayla dances. Magus poses with his head to the side. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Ayla, the cavewoman, is named after the heroine from The Clan of the Cave Bear, who is also a cavewoman. In the English translation, Magus' henchmen, the Quirky Miniboss Squad consisting of Ozzie, Flea, and Slash, reference the rockers John "Ozzy" Osbourne, most famously of Black Sabbath, Michael "Flea" Balzary, most famously of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Saul "Slash" Hudson of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. The NPC who tells you about them goes so far as to say that "they're tone-deaf, evil fiends!" Since Akira Toriyama did the character designs, Crono looks like Goku,note He wears a crown straight out of Dragon Quest in the one of the animated cutscenes in the Beyone Time ending, Marle wears one of Bulma's early outfits, Ayla looks like Bad Launch, and Lucca looks like Arale from Doctor Slump. Listen to the music played during the trial scenes. Then, listen to "The Trial" by Pink Floyd. Robo's theme sounds a lot like a certain song re-popularized on the internet.note According to Yasunori Mitsuda, though, this one is just a coincidence. Lavos' second form is likely a shout out to the Guyver series or the Super Sentai series. Not only does he look a lot like a Guyver, his chest blaster attack also requires him to literally open his chest to shoot the beam, much like mega smasher from the Guyver series, and it also happens to be his strongest attack. His second form also bears a striking resemblance to Imperfect Cell. A minigame at the Millennial Fair can spawn the NPCs Biggs, Wedge and Piett. If you are playing the SNES version of the Rainbow Shell sidequest, when Marle and the others head down to the Guardia Castle basement, the snakes are named Dumb and Dumber. The names of the three gurus, Belthasar, Gaspar and Melchior share their names with the biblical wisemen who went to see the Christ child in the new testament. Melchior's name in particular is subtle foreshadowing that the humble swordmaker is far more than he appears. The Knights of the Square Table are simultaneously a nod to Arthurian legend and to the game's development company. Tata, the would-be Kid Hero in the middle ages, looks like a hero from in a Dragon Quest game, another franchise Toriyama did art designs for. His role derives from the Erdrick trilogy with the Hero's Badge mimicking the Erdrick Seal, and his "quest" to defeat Magus parallels with the Edrick's quest to slay Baramos (and later Zoma). His idle sprite even walks perpetually in place like the sprites from the earlier Dragon Quest games did, when no other sprite in-game does this. Robo is almost certainly based on Tik-Tok from Return to Oz. Two rooms in the Fiendlord's Keep are obvious references to Donkey Kong, with a side view (instead of the top-down view used in the rest of the game) of platforms which Roly enemies roll down, and broken ladders you can use to avoid them. The name of the save point after fighting Magus is named, "Forward to the Past". Mother Brain is an optional boss in the Future. The monster musician in Porre 1000 AD claims to be the piano man. In the "Memory Lane" ending, Lucca remarks "Theeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" upon seeing the racer cyborg from 2300 AD. After the Reptites are defeated, one of the Ioka villagers' reactions includes the phrase, "Happy happy joy joy." | |

Freeing him will see him repay you later once he's returned to his family-run store in Truce. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Crono and his friends discover an ancient, city-sized alien that has leeched genetic progress from and plans to destroy all civilization. Their response is to begin Level Grinding until they are of sufficient power to stab it in the face.note They are intelligent about it. After seeing the power of Lavos at his strongest, they decide to attack it at its weakest, and try to get it before it can leech godly amounts of power from the planet. They just get the wrong era, and then can't actually attack it in the proper era. It's at that point that they decide to stop it in any way possible, out of necessity. | |

Outside-Context Problem: Lavos is an extraterrestrial planetary parasite, making him a literal Giant Space Flea from Nowhere. Lavos' existence is known to various people at various times, but nobody knew its purpose until 1999, when it woke up. The party when they arrive in any time period that they're not native to. Their one big defeat happens because they aren't out of context to the people of Zeal since they can do magic, have Magitek that rivals the tech from Robo's time, and Magus is there to warn them about the heroes before they even arrive. | |

Take Your Time: An interesting variation on this due to the time traveling nature of the plot. You can travel to several time periods both distantly before and distantly after Lavos's apocalypse, you can attack Lavos at nearly any point in the game after getting the Epoch, and one of the Gurus explicitly tells you to take as much time as you need to prepare for your confrontation with it. For once, time is not of the essence — but you only get one chance, so you'd better make it count. | |

In Spite of a Nail | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d243518d | comment |
In Spite of a Nail: Seems to be how time travel works in this game. Even if something changes hundreds or thousands of years in the past that should have major effects, like replacing a desert with a forest, ending Fantastic Racism between humans and mystics, or the Black Omen appearing in the sky, almost everything not directly related to those changes will be exactly the same as it was in the timeline without those changes. No matter what verdict Crono receives during his trial, he will still be sentenced to three days in prison, which the Chancellor takes advantage of to manipulate the Warden into thinking he's been sentenced to death instead. During the Fiona's Forest sidequest, it is revealed that the reason why Lucca's a scientist and engineer today is because she was powerless to stop the machine that crippled her mother. You are given a chance to rectify this, and if you succeed, a diary entry reveals that Young Lucca still dedicated her life to science, for almost the exact same reason. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Items which exist over multiple time periods obey causality.note Relative to themselves, at least; your intervention is another story. If you take an object from the past, it won't be there in the future, but the same item can be obtained twice by taking the one in the future first.note The game gives you a bit of a warning about this: if you try to take the item in the past, you'll get a confirmation message, whereas if you take it in the future, you just grab it. Frog has an ability called Slurp Slash, where he grabs the enemy with his tongue, drags them to him, and slashes them, knocking them back to their starting point. If you try it on a stationary object, like the winches in the fight against Ozzie, Frog will instead pull himself to the object, crashing into it and still dealing a chunk of damage. Additionally, if Slurp Slash misses its target, Frog will have a unique animation where he's forcibly pulled towards his foe with a surprised look on his face. When imprisoned in the Prison Towers, Crono is intended to break out of his prison before his execution day commences and stealthily sneak out of the prison while fighting off other guards until he regroups with Lucca at the entrance. If the player chooses to wait until execution day, however, the guards will take Crono to the guillotine and commence the execution, only to be foiled by Lucca at the last second. The enemies of the prison will all be defeated beforehand as Lucca will have taken them down on her way to rescue Crono. In the Blackbird, your party is stripped of their gear, and taken prisoner. You are rendered helpless and have to resort to stealth to continue to get your gear back. However, Ayla has been ripping things apart with her bare hands until this point, and will be more than happy to continue to do so if she is in your party, though she does lack armor and therefore takes more damage as a result. If you try and take on the Black Omen in 2300 A.D., Queen Zeal will actually come out and mock the party for failing to remember that the apocalypse already happened and attacking the Omen now would be pointless. The Black Omen obeys the same laws as items. It ceases to exist after you defeat it, but only in time periods further ahead. The Omen can, in fact, be explored three times, allowing three times the Charmed loot off of Zeal.note However, other than the fight against Queen Zeal, all one-time-only events in the Omen remain completed when you go back in time, including bosses fought and Inexplicable Treasure Chests opened. Early in the game, you can talk to Melchior while exploring the fair with Marle, who will take an interest in her pendant and ask if you can convince her to sell it. She'll understandably refuse, which will count against you in trial. But if you take the pendant after crashing into her and attempt to sell it to Melchior before talking to Marle, he'll instead say that the pendant is too valuable to you, and that he doesn't have any money to buy it. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: At the beginning of the game, Lucca tells you to step on the left Telepod. Oh, but look! There's a twinkle on the right one, surely it won't hurt to collect a hidden item before getting the plot underway, right? Right? In Ozzie's Fort, the final room has a treasure chest (containing a Full Ether) out in the open. Only problem is, it's guarded by an axe machine operated by Ozzie. The axe won't outright kill you, but it'll render your whole party's HP to 1. You can choose to do one of the following: A) Fall for the bait, get the Full Ether and just heal the damage off, or B) Head to the end of the room, have Ozzie tempt you even more and have a random Imp fall into said trap, causing Ozzie to run away, leaving the chest unguarded. In the Sewers, one passage will feature enemies that will attack if the player makes any noise whatsoever. Not only will interacting with the cat cause enough noise to draw in the monsters, but so will using the Save Point at the end of the passage, since save points chime when used. While it accomplishes literally nothing story- or game-wise, talking to King Guardia XXXIII, and later giving him Spiced Jerky, after the Chancellor implies he may have killed his wife, drives a wedge between him and Marle, the Spiced Jerky being bad for his health. It's so meaningless and optional that you can even miss it and it won't matter in the long run. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: In the Tyranno Lair, it's possible to drop a pair of monsters on each side of a hallway into a pit, sparing you the battle. Later, a trap switch sends you into a cell a few levels down, where the same monsters are now waiting for you. In a way, Lavos' defeat is a case of this. As part of its lifecycle, it uplifted humans and granted them the ability to advance both technically and magically, which ultimately provides the main party the tools they need to corner and fight it on even ground. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In 65,000,000 BC, Crono has to win the Dreamstone from Ayla by beating her in a drinking contest with prehistoric alcohol. To do this, the player has to rapidly press the A button. Failing enough times will cause Ayla to say that she can't drink anymore, and Crono wins by default. Should a character be forced into the party for story-related reasons, the party select screen will always come up so that the player can quickly rearrange their party members. Magus' Castle is a dungeon filled with enemies vulnerable to magic, including the trope-naming Barrier Change Boss. When Frog joins the party, if you fight the first battle in the Magic Cave before you take him to learn magic, he'll marvel at his teammates' ability, and an uncredited line will say he can use it too if they go to the End of Time, dropping a none-too-subtle hint that you're going to need it. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The player's party consists of an anthropomorphic frog, a self-aware humanoid robot, a cavewoman wearing a fur bikini, and — optionally — a world-threatening dictator who Looks Like Orlok. No one cares. Crono's mother has more to say on the odd ensemble of Crono's time-displaced sidekicks than the entire rest of the NPC cast, and even she doesn't seem too worried about them. This is especially evident with Magus, as while people will now suddenly know whatever name you've chosen to given him, they pay no mind to him, even when he's the one they're talking to. It gets a bit ridiculous during the Hero's Grave sidequest where Frog talks with the ghost of Cyrus. Bring Magus along for that part and he won't even as much as comment on why the infamous leader of the fiends and known conqueror, not to mention his own killer, is tagging along with them. Magus himself just stands there like nothing's wrong and only reacts at the end by covering himself with his cape when the Masamune shines brightly as part of a power-up sequence. During the Rainbow Shell sidequest, once you discover the shell, you need to get help from King Guardia XXI to move it. Have Magus leading your party, and when the King initially balks, Queen Leene will ask him to do it as a personal favor for Magus, the guy who nearly destroyed their entire kingdom. There's the Black Omen; since it appeared in 12,000 B.C. and stuck around ever since then, from the average schmuck's point of view, it's always been there. Only our time traveling heroes even know it's not "supposed" to be there. | |

In the SNES version, Magus' name is not spelled in all-caps like other NPCs during one of Frog's flashbacks. This is a very subtle clue that he is recruitable later on. Additionally, after the Kingdom of Zeal crash lands, you gain access to a dealer who sells scythes among other things. Scythes are the weapons for Magus, who can join your team shortly after. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Melchior manages to pull it off twice. At first, he seems like a mere merchant, but then it's revealed that he's the man who forged the Masamune, and thus can repair it. Then, still later, it's revealed that he's one of the time-displaced Gurus, the Guru of Life. The old man at the End of Time turns out to be another one of the Gurus, specifically he's Gaspar, the Guru of Time. And he gives you the Chrono Trigger egg to resurrect Crono after his death. The seemingly insane old man in the ruined future also turns out to be one of the Gurus, namely Belthasar, the Guru of Reason. You can't actually meet him again, but he installs his mind into a Nu and in that guise, gives the party the Wings of Time. This area is completely optional when you first visit the future though. | |

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: In 1000 AD, society seems largely modern (with Lucca's inventions going into sci-fi territory), but everyone except Lucca and the Dragon Tank are using swords. This is most glaring in the dungeon scene; while most royal soldiers wear military uniforms, the dungeon guards wear plate armor and carry swords and shields. The explanation for the dungeon guards is found if you talk to the soldiers in the castle after the Rainbow Shell quest; the dungeon guards were actually monsters that Yakra XIII brought in. | |

Marle says this exact phrase when the party is at Arris Dome's supercomputer in the Bad Future looking for a way back to their home timeline. Pressing the button brings up a recording of the Day of Lavos. | |

Updated Re-release: The PS1 version added animated cutscenes. These were kept in most of the subsequent rereleases. The remake added the Lost Sanctum, the Dimensional Vortexes and a new English script. The DS version also has exclusive content like the Arena of the Ages, the Dojo, and a bestiary. | |

Shoot the Medic First | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_df858e81 | comment |
Shoot the Medic First: A helpful strategy to take down many of the bosses, many of whom have small "healing units" that need to be taken out before taking out the big boss. Averted with Mother Brain. While the displays that keep healing her for 1000 HP a pop are a huge nuisance, destroying all three of them will let her pretty much screw your whole party in two turns. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
Optional Boss: Near the end of the game, some sidequests open up, most of which have boss battles. Melphyx, the monster living in the desert near Fiona's house and killing anything she plants. You have to kill it so Fiona can reforest the desert. Before you find the Rainbow Shell, you have to fight the Rust Tyranno. Then at the end of the questline, you fight Yakra XIII. You have to fight the Son of the Sun in the Sun Temple before you can get the Moon Stone, which then is needed for the Sun Stone. The Geno Dome quest ends by fighting the Mother Brain. Refighting Ozzie, Flea, and Slash, and ending them for good are also optional. At the end of each Dimensional Vortex, you encounter Steel Shade, Alabaster Shade, and Crimson Shade, which are clones of Crono, Marle, and Lucca, respectively. Beating them grants additional stats to the respective character. | |

That said, Gato is there to teach you about how enemies can move around during a fight, and that enemies will counterattack some of the time. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Several liberties have been taken with the pronunciation and meaning of names. Some names are closer to the katakana pronunciation, with some creative interpretation added. Maru/Marudia becomes Marle/Nadia, Eira becomes Ayla, Sara becomes Schala, and Jiru becomes Zeal. Jaki/Ma� becomes Janus/Magus. Gash, Hash, and Bosch become Melchior, Gaspar, and Belthasar, after The Three Wise Men. Vinegar, Soy Sauce, and Mayonnaise become Ozzie, Slash, and Flea, after rock musicians Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, respectively. Silvard becomes Epoch, fitting the theme of eras in time. Lucca's battle robot, Gonzalez, becomes Gato. Frog's signature weapon, the Masamune. Should come as no surprise that a Western knight sword is wrongly named after a famous Eastern katana. In the Japanese version, it's named Grandleon, which makes more sense. The Sky/Heaven element becomes the Lightning (SNES) or Light (DS) element. The Demons to Mystics (SNES) or Fiends (DS). | |

If an Optional Party Member is present for the fight with Queen Zeal, Magus will tell her exactly why she's pathetic, then resolve to kill her out of mercy. This is notable in that she has no clue that he's actually her son. | |

Expy: Since Akira Toriyama provided the character designs, this is to be expected: Crono looks like a red-headed version of Goku, so Super Saiyan God Goku. Marle is Bulma. Lucca is a teenage Arale. Robo strongly resembles some versions of mech armors used by Pilaf or the Red Ribbon Army. He also looks a lot like Auta Magetta from Dragon Ball Super. Ayla is blond Launch. Or Android 18 with larger hair. Magus is Piccolo. Melchior resembles King Kai. Slash looks like Cui. Lavos's second form◊ bears a resemblance to Cell's Imperfect form. One of the animated cutscenes featured in the "Beyond Time" ending shows that Glenn is pretty much a green-haired Vegeta. Interesting in that human Glenn's sprite, which was designed first, had long hair. One of the NPC sprites is Android 18. The Blue Imp enemy resembles Emperor Pilaf. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Yakra XIII starts the game off as an Evil Chancellor and adviser to King Guardia. During the very first time travel, when the heroes meet the first Yakra, his family swears vengeance after he is defeated. Yakra puts Crono on trial for abduction, and despite it being possible to get a Not Guilty verdict, he tricks the Warden into thinking Crono was convicted and must be executed. He also sentenced another young man to a similar fate, whom Crono and Lucca can rescue. Later, Yakra strains the relationship between the King and his daughter Marle. Then, he decides to trick the people of the Guardia Kingdom into convicting the King and forcing him to sign his kingdom over. It's only when Marle and her friends step in that the King is saved. Queen Zeal is never treated with anything but contempt by the story. There's hints that her mind has been corrupted by Lavos, but she makes no attempts to break free, constantly torments you, and is cruel to her own daughter. She's the warm-up for the final boss, and is never given any sort of justification for her behavior. | |

When imprisoned in the Prison Towers, Crono is intended to break out of his prison before his execution day commences and stealthily sneak out of the prison while fighting off other guards until he regroups with Lucca at the entrance. If the player chooses to wait until execution day, however, the guards will take Crono to the guillotine and commence the execution, only to be foiled by Lucca at the last second. The enemies of the prison will all be defeated beforehand as Lucca will have taken them down on her way to rescue Crono. | |

Combination Attack: Every combination of two characters has three Double Techs they can perform together once they have the appropriate skills (a spin slash and a flame thrower make a burning spin slash, for example). And every combination of Crono and two other characters (plus a few other trios that require special accessories) can do a Triple Tech, although you probably won't use those that often. | |

Standard Post-Apocalyptic Setting: The Future era is a wasteland of ravaged cities and highways under a permanent cloud cover and populated by aggressive robots, hideous mutants, giant bugs, and talking rats. Humans survive in the ruins of domes thanks to machines that keep them healthy (and the party can use them to fully heal for free) but don't prevent them from being hungry. In this case, the apocalypse wasn't caused by the robots or the AI known as Mother Brain (who operates a factory rendering humans down to their component parts) but by Lavos awakening, and visiting the era is what prompts the cast to prevent the Bad Future by defeating Lavos. | |

Standard Japanese Fantasy Setting | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_e9ed549d | comment |
Standard Japanese Fantasy Setting: Zigzagged. Because the game revolves around Time Travel, it creates a hodge-podge of many different tropes, from both Fantasy and Science Fiction. The three main protagonists are a Master Swordsman with Divine Magic, a Rebellious Princess with both archery (and a rare crossbow at that) with healing and Ice Magic, and a Gadgeteer Genius Gunner with Fire Magic. They are joined by a Magic Knight cursed with the body of a Frog, a robot from the future with a variety of weapons, a female cavewoman that fights with her bare hands, and a literal Maou that once led the demihumans to war against humans. The time periods they travel to vary from a post-Industrial early modern society, a medieval kingdom, an ancient magic society of Precursors, a prehistoric society, and a ruined future. The only thing the story lacks are actual "gods"; it's postulated at one point that some unknown "Entity" is manipulating events (speculated in the sequel to be the spirit of the planet itself), but they also speculate that is dead or dying. The only other worshipped entity, Lavos, is explicitly an alien parasite. | |

Teaser Equipment: At the very beginning of the game, Melchior is visiting the Millennial Fair and has a Silver Sword for sale. Unless you farm money for a long time, you won't be able to afford it until you've progressed through at least one more dungeon. The first time you arrive at Medina Village, the shopkeepers sell weapons three tiers above what you'll currently be using, for 10 times the gold you'd expect. This is because the fiends of the village hate humans after losing a war 400 years ago. After you've changed history to make fiends no longer hate humans, the prices become more reasonable, but by then, the gear is outclassed. | |

Atlantis | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_ee19033d | comment |
Atlantis: Played with in the magical Kingdom of Zeal. The society has all the trappings—great wisdom and knowledge, unique technology (in this case, magic) which allows them to dominate the world, Crystal Spires and Togas, and an arrogance beneath all the beauty that ends up being its downfall. Rather than being a regular island (or continent) nation, however, it's a Floating Continent—except for the Ocean Palace, which is already under the water rather than having sunk there after an earthquake and flood. And rather than being merely one of the greatest cultures of the time, it was the only culture due to existing during the Ice Age. That said, the floating kingdom does fall, and the palace is damaged during the awakening of Lavos (only to rise in another form as the Black Omen), and this sets back humanity's progress for centuries; there's a reason (besides the truth the player learns about the Queen and the source of her power) the original translation for this era was the Dark Ages. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Your party cannot have more than three people in it at a time. This is Hand Waved in-game that groups larger than three cannot make it through the time warp without being spit into the End of Time, and they only have a single Gate Key. Once they find the Epoch, which only has three seats, their destination can only be time periods which can be accessed with the Gate Key. Afterwards, there are multiple instances where the entire party is present in an area other than the End of Time, but the game mechanics remain unchanged as to how many can fight together. | |

Bizarro Universe | |

Bizarro Universe: The "Successor of Guardia" ending. Thanks to Frog marrying Queen Leene while still in his frog form, everyone in the present day thinks Marle is wearing a disguise, and the player hears a frog croak each time. This includes Marle, much to her chagrin, even though she wasn't one when she left the Present. The "Legendary Hero" ending flashes back to the showdown at the Fiendlord's Keep, except this time, Frog is replaced with the diminutive Tata. In addition, Crono is now standing in for Magus, complete with Marle and Lucca as his molls. In the "Dino Age" ending, life goes on for the subjects of Guardia except they're all Reptites, Planet of the Apes-style. | |

Medieval European Fantasy | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_f8173bd9 | comment |
Medieval European Fantasy: Both 600 AD and 1000 AD fit the definition, despite the presence of various anachronisms. The "Present" is not that dissimilar from the Middle Ages. 600 AD is an even more clear-cut example, since the technology level is more traditionally medieval, without electricity, unlike the Present as presented in-game, which has some degree of modern technology like refridgerators and electrical ovens. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: The Black Omen is a gigantic, black aircraft, but once it's raised in 12,000 B.C., peasants in later time periods are rather blasé about it, since it's been in the sky for hundreds of generations and no one sees anything unusual about it. Also, it's in no way required to fight the Big Bad, you can complete it three times in different time periods, and even entering it is completely optional. | |

Surely in this case the Chancellor, who hates Crono enough to want him dead more than he wants to take over the kingdom, can be trusted at this point, right? | |

Darkest Hour: After the Fall of Zeal. Crono is dead and obliterated by Lavos, Zeal is destroyed, and your party barely escapes. Schala used her powers to teleport the rest of the party out of danger, but was caught in the Ocean Palace as it caved in. You've lost the Epoch, the time gate out of 12,000 BC is on an island you can't access, the remnants of Zeal's army, led by Dalton, are trying to conquer what little remains, and the closest thing you have to an ally is someone you've been trying to kill for a large portion of the game. Things get better, but for a while it looks pretty dire. | |

Place Beyond Time: The End of Time. So it's said, it's where time travelers who didn't follow the rules are sent. Lavos itself and the Black Omen. Unlike other areas of the game where you can loot a chest in both the future and then the past, the Black Omen will remember when you have defeated portions of it. Lavos' shell will also remain broken, even if you destroy it in 1000 AD and try to fight him again in 600 AD or 12,000 BC. Interestingly, Queen Zeal is not affected: you can fight her up to three times and she will remember it like it is the first. | |

The Call Has Bad Reception: King Guardia XXI sits out the game's second act, having been struck in the back by an arrow while leading his men against Magus. The bedridden King puts all of his hope into "the Hero" to find the Masamune. While it's obvious that the Hero is Frog, the player must endure every NPC proclaiming Tata the kingdom's savior. He gets as far as the Denadoro Mountains before fleeing in terror. This whole farce is a nice inversion of the Holy Grail myth, with Tata being the would-be Galahad. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: You can head straight to the Prehistoric era right after getting to the End of Time a good while before you are actually supposed to go there and thus grind for significantly greater rewards than you would get if you followed the storyline, which makes the next several sections a complete cakewalk. There's even an area in the Prehistoric age itself that you aren't supposed to go to until after the next section that makes even the first intended visit pretty easy. You can go to Medina Village where the shops sell advanced weapons and armor for over 65,000G a piece. You don't get these normally until you reach Algetty, but you can get them if you bother to grind for money. It is possible to do one of the Fated Hour quests early. You can do the sidequest to revive Fiona's Forest in 600 AD the moment you reach the Kingdom of Zeal and tell a particular person to keep a plant. It's more challenging to do the sidequest, but it lends itself to getting some of the best helmets. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
At the beginning of the game, Lucca tells you to step on the left Telepod. Oh, but look! There's a twinkle on the right one, surely it won't hurt to collect a hidden item before getting the plot underway, right? Right? | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
Queen Zeal's boss fight is followed by the Mammon Machine, and then Zeal in her One-Winged Angel form. Not only that, but beating her immediately triggers the battle with Lavos, fusing two sequential bosses together. | |

Theme Naming: Ozzie, Slash, and Flea are named after rock stars in the English localization. In the Japanese version, they're named after condiments. | |

Critical Hit Class | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fe069e49 | comment |
Critical Hit Class: Upon reaching Level 96, Ayla gains the ability to deal 9999 damage when she scores a critical hit. In the DS version, Robo can find a weapon that can do max damage on a critical hit, except the critical rate is rather low, and the base attack stat is significantly lower. There are, however, accessories that boost the critical hit rate of the character they're equipped to. Crono's ultimate weapons, Rainbow and Dreamseeker, give him a huge critical hit rate, to the point that he pretty much only does double damage from then on. The Rainbow has a seven-in-ten crit chance, and the Dreamseeker has a nine-in-ten chance. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: The Masamune's power. The sword is capable of cutting a cliff in half, and it's not even the most powerful form that the Masamune can take. Practically everything Magus does before his powers get drained by Lavos. With enough grinding you can eventually get him back to his former power level and have fun spamming Dark Matter on everything you see. Dalton. He's such a wimp in his boss fights, and yet on two different occasions, he nullifies the entire party with a flick of his wrist.note Once in Queen Zeal's throne room, when after the party beats the Golem, he imprisons them in a forcefield, the second just after the fall of Zeal when he knocks them out with fireballs. He's even fated to score an Offscreen Moment of Awesome when he turns Porre into a military state and brings down Guardia with it. | |

Situational Damage Attack | |
| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fef3305b | comment |
Situational Damage Attack: Lucca has the Spellslinger which does damage based on the last digit of her MP. Robo's Crisis Arm's damage depends on the last digit of his HP. Frog's Frog Squash technique and Ayla's Dino Tail both do damage inversely based on their overall HPs, making them effective Desperation Attacks. | |

| Chrono Trigger (Video Game) / int_fff08e5c | comment |
Montage Out: The "Beyond Time" ending has one of these set to the wonderful ""To Far Away Times"/"Outskirts of Time", showing quick glimpses of the cast resuming their lives after Lavos' defeat. The animated cutscenes, which is set to a remastered medley, goes into more detail. This includes Crono and Marle's wedding, Ayla getting Kino to propose to her, Glenn being knighted as a human, and Lucca finding a mysterious infant. | |
