Bit.Trip: Difference between revisions

 

 

We are all on a [[Title Drop|BIT.TRIP]].|'''''CommanderVideo''''', ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue 244}}

 

* [[Large Ham]]: CommanderVideo himself. Just listen to [http://www.gaijingames.com/?p=730 his haiku readings].

** Listen closely in ''RUNNER'' and ''FATE''. CommanderVideo announces the mode he transitions to.

* [[Leitmotif]]: An identical-sounding heartbeat-like bass track is present in many of the series' songs, including Transition, Control, Id, and nearly everything in ''RUNNER''.

** CommanderVideo has a theme song that plays in the first world of RUNNER, {{spoiler|the end of FATE and the final level of FLUX.}} The distinctive first four notes play in varying orders in the first level of BEAT and {{spoiler|in the first cutscene of FLUX. All of FLUX's level songs are based around BEAT's first level's music. On FLUX's full soundtrack, the notes play in the correct order one last time at the very, very end.}}

** "I AM ONLY A CAT!" is actually available as fan-made merchandise.

** From the PotatoFoolsDay level "<test>":

* [[Scare Chord]]: While you are playing the first two levels in ''FATE'', a startlingly loud sound is heard accompanied by either a bleak message like "NO FUTURE" or "NO MEANING", or the level's boss, and the song itself moves onto its next part. The same thing happens in the other four levels, only the sound isn't abruptly loud.

* [[Schizophrenic Difficulty]]: Granted you play multiple times, some parts will become simple, while others will screw you up every damn time. For specific examples of levels, see the [[Breather Level]] and [[That One Level]] examples.

** In ''FLUX'', the music doesn't change, but instead the instrument used when Beats hit the paddle and leave the screen change - all the way up to a ''violin'' in Meta mode.

* [[Viral Marketing]]: Used for ''BEAT'' and ''VOID''. As Alex Neuse noted [http://www.argn.com/2009/01/commandervideo_we_barely_knew_ye/ in this interview]:

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-beat.html The website] [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-core.html takes this] [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-void.html trope and] [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-runner.html runs] [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-fate.html with it.] [http://www.bittripgame.com/bittrip-flux.html The whole way.]

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: You can't get any closer to this if you ''tried'', folks. The "trip" in the game title [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|is not lying to you]].
