Tropes

 * Comic-Book Time: TBD.
 * Cry Cute: Alexis.
 * Dark World: The Terrifying World is this.
 * Darker and Edgier: This franchise tends to go to this route at times, especially Colin in the Terrifying World.
 * Gender Bender: Colin turns into Christine whenever he goes into Lovely Kingdom.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Samantha, despite being a spoiled whiny brat while caring about her looks, deeply cares about Colin and the other gang, willing to keep them safe if possible.
 * Not Allowed to Grow Up: The characters stay in their current age, regardless of the installment of the series and time going by.
 * Official Couple: Colin and Delaney since TBD.

Nightmare Fuel

 * The citizens at Outlands Kingdom can scare viewers.
 * The creatures at the Terrifying World, including Grinsley, while kinda cute, can scare some sensitive viewers.

Trivia

 * Cash-Cow Franchise: TBD.
 * The Character Ice Cream Bar: Colin himself has one, being shaped like Colin's head with brown gumball eyes. He is blue-raspberry and strawberry flavored, and has started selling in late 90s/early 2000s and is still selling today.
 * What Could Have Been: It has a lot of examples, it has its own page.

YMMV

 * Fandom Rivalry:
 * [Mega Man, at first extent]
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: Half of fans shipped Colin and Delaney while half shipped Colin and Amanda. However, as the former became canon, the latter faded into obscurity until in recent years, thanks to a meme, the latter was bought back.
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * [Mega Man, at later extent]
 * [Sonic the Hedgehog]
 * [other Capcom franchises]
 * Vindicated by History: The series has a fair share of commercial failure games with positive feedback.
 * The prime example is with Colin in the Terrifying World where, while it had mixed reviews but positive fan reception, flopped in terms of sales and faded into obscurity as time went on. However, in the recent years, it became a cult classic.
