As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Combo attacks are named Oronte's Grudge, Ptolemaios' Anger, Wrath of Cyrus, Rage of Darius, Azad's Furious Retaliation, Zaroaster's Ire, Asha's Fury, Ahriman's Revenge, and Mithra's Vengeance.

Arrow Cam: Thrown sub-weapons would sometimes be followed by the camera in slow-motion until they hit their target.

Animal Theme Naming: In this game, the Prince's main swords (save for the Driftwood Cudgel and the Water Sword) are named after animals, some 'noble' (Eagle Sword and Lion Sword), some venomous and deadly (Spider Sword, Serpent Sword, Scorpion Sword).

The existence of these two timelines eventually morphs into a Stable Time Loop, thereby removing the necessity for the Sand Wraith to commit suicide so that the Prince can fight Kaileena.

Alternate Timeline: There are ultimately two versions of the Prince's initial fight with Kaileena: 1) Where the Sand Wraith dies, allowing the Prince to fight Kaileena fore the first time, and 2) Where the Prince dies and the Sand Wraith can once again become the Prince.

He drops the 'Advancing' and 'of Doom' parts in the Golden Ending by becoming its True Final Boss.

Advancing Boss of Doom: The Dahaka, when he pursues the Prince in the Present, will destroy the Prince if he catches up or even if the Prince takes too long navigating the path ahead and away from him.

In a desperate effort to avoid this fate at the hands of the Dahaka, he travels to the island where the Sands of Time were originally formed, hoping to prevent their creation.

The creature is apparently a guardian of the timeline and wants to ensure that the Prince dies for releasing the Sands of Time, despite the Prince having used the Sands to prevent himself from having released them in the first place. Seven years after the events of the previous game, the Prince is being hunted by an unstoppable beast, the Dahaka. While the gameplay was refined and improved (especially the combat), the Prince himself was reduced to an arrogant thug instead of the more cheerful character of the first game. The storybook 'Arabian Nights' feel of the first game was replaced by sexual content (including several stripperific female characters, one of which is introduced via a five second focus on her metal thong), graphic violence (the loading screen is a waterfall of blood), language, and heavy metal music by Godsmack. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is the 2004 follow-up to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which Ubisoft hoped would be more financially successful by giving the sequel one of the most amusing Darker and Edgier twists in history.
