Score Multiplier | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_12ac916e | comment |
Score Multiplier: Two are visible at the top of the screen. The "Streak" counter goes up as more notes are passed without running into them, and drops when damage is taken; it makes each note passed give more points, and having it at a full 30 lets Baton build up Treble Charge. The second counter is a direct multiplier, going up by one after hitting a cymbal and down by one after being hit. | |

Level in Boss Clothing | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_18c4c279 | comment |
Level in Boss Clothing: The game doesn't have traditional bosses, but four of the levels (Turtle Pipes, Barracuda Caverns, Piranha Jungle, and Saltwater Cape) feature another creature/creatures pursuing Baton, and she has to dodge their attacks while avoiding the other level obstacles to make it to the end. All of these are displayed in their own section of the Bestiary. ELE-94 mixes things up by having you fight him directly, but even his level contains notes to avoid. | |

| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: Crosses over with Carnivore Confusion. All the animals seem to have some level of basic intelligence, which makes the fact that they're all too willing to devour each other a little bit creepy. Often played for laughs in Etude's conversations. He advises that Baton shouldn't take it personally when someone (even himself) tries to eat her. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: "Evil" is a strong word (most of the threats on Baton's journey are just predatory animals), but the various boss-like creatures increase in danger as the game progresses. The first is Walt the turtle in Turtle Pipes, who barely notices Baton and won't bite her if she stays away from the scum covering the pipes. His only strength is how big he is, and even that eventually gets him to bonk his head on a narrow part of the piping. The second is Crescendo, a small barracuda in Barracuda Caverns who actively attacks Baton but doesn't do much outside of biting. He's scared away by light and eventually gets trapped inside a treasure chest before he can eat Baton. The third is Staccato, a group of piranhas in Piranha Jungle. They are much more strategic compared to Walt and Crescendo, using a variety of formations and attacks to hit Baton. Unlike the others, they aren't stopped by the level itself and will only leave Baton alone if she smacks fruit down for them to eat. Near the end of the game, Baton reaches Saltwater Cape and has to escape from Coda, the pelican who took her away from Tadpole Pond. Coda isn't a sea creature like the prior bosses, and is also gigantic, meaning that he can just swoop down and try to eat Baton whenever, requiring her to thrash herself free. There's no defeating Coda, the only option is to reach the end of the stage. Finally, ELE-94 is an Outside-Context Problem, a haywire, armed-to-the-teeth artificial intelligence in the Sunken Derelict. It's the only boss acting on violence over predatory instincts, and endangers all of Opus Island with its pollution until Baton destroys it. | |

| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: ELE-94 has three phases, each with a different goal and a different song. First Baton has to break the wires in the Sunken Derelict ("Sunken Derelict"), then she has to launch up and strike an egg-shaped device three times ("ELE-94"), and then she must attack the machine directly by smacking its lighter back at it ("Another Refrain"). | |

| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the final stage, electric wiring forms the lines of the implied staff bar on the playfield. One of Etude's conversations has him remarking on how Coda "kickstarted" Baton's adventure, saying that he thinks a thousand fans kickstarted it. This is a reference to the game being crowdfunded by Kickstarter. Sonata mentions he'll serenade Baton again if she decides to "come by for a high score". This also references the fact that the same song starts over every time you replay the level. | |

Do Well, But Not Perfect | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_5049f19d | comment |
Do Well, But Not Perfect: Getting F-ranks on levels is difficult because of this. You can't just avoid every sparkle/cymbal/bamboo rod to get a low score, you also have to take hits frequently so the Streak meter doesn't stay maxed for too long at a time, while still collecting enough health pellets (which thankfully don't give any points) to live until the end and take more hits. It gets even tougher on levels where you have to hit cymbals to avoid losing, like Thunder Creek; getting a multiplier by hitting a cymbal makes you score higher, but not hitting them enough gets you zapped in a level with very little health. | |

Really Was Born Yesterday: Sonata, the tadpole who tries to serenade Baton in Midnight Bayou, as pointed out by his bestiary entry. This of course applies to Baton as well, the game straight-up opens on her hatching from her egg. | |

Indy Escape: Partway through Gusty Rapids, a boulder gets knocked loose and rolls towards Baton on the current. Baton can knock it back with her tail until it eventually gets stuck. | |

| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Late in Trout Tributary, a massive trout blocks out most of the screen, making it hard to see incoming notes and bubbles. Gusty Rapids' current is so strong that it pulls Baton backwards. This is represented by the level going in reverse, with Baton starting at the right side of the screen and obstacles coming in from the left. | |

Shout-Out: The Travel Guide page for Tadpole Pond says that it's populated by 24,601 frogs (including Baton). Chiptune Lagoon features hills with cartoon eyes on them, a flagpole (which Baton can smack the top of), pipe transportation (complete with a familiar sound), and a stairway of blocks right before the level's end. In Snowfall Lake, there is a section where you go through an icy cave. You may be too focused and miss it, but if you look in the background in a specific part, you will see a key made of ice. In the bestiary page for the ducks, their weakness is mentioned as being "easily sniffed out by chuckling hounds." | |

Rank Inflation | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_f711f899 | comment |
Rank Inflation: A letter rank is awarded after each stage, with "S" being the highest as per tradition, with the "level cleared" jingle altering accordingly. In an interesting twist, the game also challenges you to do as poorly as possible (without dying) by rewarding you for successfully obtaining F ranks as well. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In Midnight Bayou, you can smack the mosquitoes that get in the way of Baton when she hits a cymbal (they do deal damage if you touch them, but they otherwise don't attack her). Swatting them all gets you the Pesky Fly. | |

Weakened by the Light | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_fab3c1e1 | comment |
Weakened by the Light: The "boss" of Barracuda Caverns is a barracuda named Crescendo, who can be temporarily stunned if Baton hits any fluorescent mushrooms. This is due to a previous injury that left Crescendo with vision problems. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: Coda the pelican is just a hungry bird who happened to snap up a tadpole who wandered too far from her mother. Etude and the bestiary pages also state multiple times that the many creatures trying to eat our heroine are just hungry predators trying to survive as well. It makes ELE-94 stand out even more, as it's the only thing that attacks Baton for no good reason. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Tadpole Treble (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: All individual characters' names are based off music terminology (or equipment, in the case of Baton). The only exceptions are the lone Stag Beetle in Thunder Creek, who's only referred to by his species, and Walt the turtle, though his name is probably a play on Waltz, considering the style of music in his stage, Turtle Pipes. | |
