Line 38:
* [[Say It With Hearts]]: The Time Goddess, [[Rule of Three|yet again.]]
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: The games run in chronological order, but the first three can be completed in any order.
* [[Shout
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: The story dictates that the objective must be accomplished in 30 seconds, but the timer stops during dialogues and in towns (in Hero 30 Normal difficulty only).
** If you use your [[Desperation Attack|desperation maneuver]] in Hero 30, giving the Time Goddess all your money without actually having enough to rewind time, then she'll still rewind time. However, time ''doesn't'' stop anymore, and when you get down to 10 seconds, you lose ''all'' of your equipment. Used carefully, it can win the stage. Used stupidly, well, there's always that "retry" button.
Line 53:
* [[Bling of War]]: There are multiple pieces of golden equipment. In a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]] of the usual video game variety of this trope, they are really expensive but absolutely useless as equipment, just like real solid gold armor would be.
* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: [PSP version] Quest 25 "Another Goddess" will likely not be available when you first reach it, as the stage will end immediately after starting. When you do get to access it, it has a completely different format than all of the other stages. [[Marathon Level|The par time is 4'30" for a very good reason.]]
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Broken Bridge]]: "I broke the bridge so no one can interfere with me!"
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Lampshaded when you meet the Time Goddess for the first time. She says, "Has there ''ever'' been an RPG that begins when you say 'no'?"
* [[Camp Gay]]: Older Brother(?) . . . ''if'' [[Ambiguous Gender|he's a man.]]
* [[Cast From HP]]: Hero's Dash ability. It [[Sprint Shoes|speeds you up]] ''and'' prevents random encounters, so in a game where time is critical, it's certainly worth the HP loss.
Line 91:
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: A few instances can lead to a premature end of your journey, such as not breaking the dam in "Change the Current" to regulate the currents, or not giving the Goddess the money she requires to break your [[Deal With the Devil]].
** There is at least one voluntary [[Nonstandard Game Over]], in the level "Treasure Island," you can decide to just end your quest there and [[Pooled Funds|bathe in the riches]].
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: See [[Shout
* [[Not So Different]]: {{spoiler|The final boss tells Hero, right after he defeats him, that he isn't so different from the Evil Lords.}}
* [[Olympic Swimmer]]: If Hero doesn't have a boat, he'll just swim across the ocean.
Line 99:
* [[Random Encounters]]: There are actually a couple of quests without them, and it's a ''problem'' because you need them for money and experience.
* [[Restart At Level One]]: As a side effect of the Time Goddess using her power to turn back time, the hero's level is reset to 1 after each level.
* [[Shout
** Not to mention the [[Dragonball|Turtle Hermit]].
** The secret/hidden mission "The Two Goddesses" changes the "Hero 30" logo to [[Valhalla Knights 2|"Valhalla Knights 30"]], and the enemy in this mission is not a Dark Lord but the other game's Goddess of Judgment.
Line 153:
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: The Princess has hardly ever left that castle before, so she has only a blurry picture of the outside world.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]
* [[Shout
* [[Super Strength]]: The crossbow also seems to have this effect on the Princess, as she can carry the Hard Mineral effortlessly.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Hugh, for Max. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], since the two are brothers.
Line 197:
== Tropes that apply to ''Hero 3'': ==
* [[No Plot, No Problem]]: Most of the game was composed of only [[Excuse Plot]], but ''Hero 3'' has ''absolutely no plot''. It's just the Time Goddess daring you to beat this level.
* [[Red Sky, Take Warning]]: In ''Hero 30'', the sky gradually turns red as time runs down. Here, it's red ''all the time''. That is, all the time when it's not purple which is an even more threatening situation.
* [[Ridiculous Future Inflation]]: Since the world is going to end in such a short time, all of the vendors happily gouge their prices by 500% or more. Good thing all of the monsters in this mode are [[Money Spider|Money Spiders]].
* [[Up to Eleven]]: All right...so you've saved the world in 30 seconds...multiple times. Let's see you try to do it in just '''three'''.
