These games include musical instruments where the player has the freedom to play a melody of their choosing.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
The daughter of a monarch or monarchs.
Used in fighting games, projectiles are objects that a fighter can launch at another fighter to attack from a distance. While they can be used to simply inflict damage, projectiles are often used to maneuver opponents into disadvantageous positions.
Games in which a solution or hint to a solution for a particular puzzle is printed somewhere on the game's packaging.

Video game combat in which combat actions are performed in real-time, rather than through a turn-based structure.
A sound effect that plays once the player has gained a level, solved a puzzle or reached a milestone within the game.
Monarchs and their families.
A Secret area is a place hidden that few will find unless they know where to look.
The ability to change shape. Humans shifting into animals is the most common type of shape shifting.

The ability to move from one area to another instantaneously - typically through some sort of special power or device.
Games that conclude with a screen displaying "The End" or a variation thereof, such as "Fin."

A mechanical system designed to capture or cause harm. Either the player can set traps for their enemies or others set them for the player.
Weapons can often be upgraded with new attachments, augmentations, or magical enchantments. These upgrades result in the original item being more powerful than originally intended.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
Marine mammals that can grow to be among the largest animals on earth. Whales are sometimes hunted for their meat, oil, and ambergris; this has left many species seriously endangered.
