Multiple Endings: Should you just walk away and not engage the final boss, a different set of images appear in the end credits, showing the AI leaving in her ship, and humanity rebuilding its city with the help of the now returned Dragonworms.

 Shing! (Video Game) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Had the AI ever tried to peacefully contact the locals and explained to them about the cores, they might have believed her about how they are damaging the planet. Instead, because she just had her minion take them, none of the heroes have any reason to trust her warnings when they finally meet her and they just take them after defeating the final boss. Unless the player just has them leave.

Bleak Level
 Shing! (Video Game) / int_3f8ef764
comment
Bleak Level: The Forgotten City level takes place in the ruined remains of a once great settlement long ago destroyed by reckless experiments with the Starseed, leaving a giant crater behind along with ash-covered abandoned homes and deadly cracks in the earth that shoot out deadly gases. The very prospect of having to go there makes the usually irreverent player characters act significantly more serious and somber for almost the entire level.

comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Despite having no reason to trust her, should you choose the alternate ending by heeding the AI's request to turn back to the elevator and leave without the Starseed, the quartet will comment on how it felt like a strong, overwhelming force was telling them it was the right thing to do, during the ride up. Wilhelm remarks that the will of the gods is not to be questioned.

comment
Sequel Hook: Before shutting down after the cores are removed, the AI that took back the Starseed ominously says,"They' won't, be happy about this." and that it's too late to stop the reanimation process. The Stinger shows a satellite in orbit, which begins to awaken its spacesuit-wearing inhabitants from cryosleep.

Cosmetic Award: Doing well in each stage, earns the player tokens which automatically unlock new costumes for the characters, once a certain number has been reached. While they have no gameplay benefits, they look really cool.

comment
Cargo Cult: It's revealed that the Starseed and the Worldsprout, are in truth some type of energy cores which fell from a crashed starship, affecting the environments they landed in before later being utilized by the locals who presumed them to be mystic artifacts. The one who stole both of them, did so at the behest of the ship's AI, who needs them all to restart the ship, she reveals to the heroes the cores were poisoning the planet when they arrive in search of them.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: The heroes love to exposit how skilled they are during combat. They can back that talk up, but so can the Tengu warriors, a special class of elite enemies they encounter, who dress in bird masks and like to use condescending Sarcastic Clapping to coax the player into fighting them.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: Some of the background posters in the mine level are based on recognizable ones from real life, like Rosie the Riviter, but with an Asian aesthetic. A number of the achievements are named after famous quotes from works of fiction, like Lord of the Rings, 300, Watchmen, and Dragon Ball Z. Just as the group is about to skate down the side of a crater, Tetsuo let's out a familiar catchphrase; COWABUNGA!!!

Gorn: In most beat 'em ups, the violence can be pretty tame with opponents just getting knocked-out. Not in this one, here one can bisect, dissect, decapitate, defenestrate, amputate and, probably, discombobulate, every Yokai encountered.
