Line 4:
[[Chroma Squad]] is a tactical RPG by Behold Studios, the same people responsible for the destruction of the [[Fourth Wall]] in [[Knights of Pen and Paper]]. This game is an affectionate parody of the [[Sentai]] genre, to the extent that the title screen mentions that it was inspired by "Saban's Power Rangers".
You play as a group of stuntmen, tired of having other actors get all of the glory for your hard work. So you all walk out and start your own [[Sentai]] show. But little did you know about the real monsters in the world. Will [[The Power of Friendship]] and Ratings save you from the
{{tropelist}}
Line 12:
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Villain X, Master of the Universe
* [[Brain In a Jar]]: The Cerebro prop, though it turns out Cerebro is a real brain in a jar.
* [[Catgirl]]: The cat hanging around your studio? She's actually [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Catnigiri, the Salmon Ranger]] with a human transformation, at least in the ranger outfit. You only meet her in the Rider Route.
* [[Chroma Key]]: Your green screen is upgradable, and you shoot a lot in front of it. One of the origins of the name Chroma Squad, along with...
* [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Of course. You do get to pick your ranger colors at character creation, but let's face it, the game is called '''Chroma''' Squad.
* [[Cool Bike]]: The Night Cyclone, which even has a short-term [[Time Travel]] gadget.
* [[Cool Old Guy]] and [[Badass Biker]]: Night Driver Kanji Ahbo: legends never die!
* [[Conveniently Empty Building]]: Everyone wonders why there's no property damage in the game. By the time you start fighting real mecha battles, it's implied that A.R.M.O.R. does the cleanup work in your email.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Averted. They discuss doing this plot, but then decide to but the gender norms by rescuing a cast member's little bro rather than their little sis.
Line 29 ⟶ 32:
* [[Home Base]]: Cerebro's lair. "Wow, I didn't know you could do such cool backgrounds with chroma key!"
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The [[Once an Episode]] battles, starting in the second season. The first time you see the mecha you get a [[Combining Mecha]] animation. But since the game is about making a Sentai show, you don't get [[Stock Footage]] ever time.
* [[In the Blood]]/[[Legacy Character]]: [[Sixth Ranger]] Tammy Ahbo's father, Kanji Ahbo was the Night Driver, as was his father before him.
* [[Kaiju]]: Lots of boss enemies are fought at a larger size. Special mention goes to the Mini-Kaiju Squad of Lord Gaga, who you fight at normal size, just because. They have abilities similar to your own party, which makes them a dangerous group of enemies.
* [[Kamina Shades]]: Villain X, Master of the Universe
Line 42 ⟶ 46:
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: How this Chroma Ranger power works, natch.
* [[Real Person Cameo]]: All of the Kickstarter backers. Some can be members of the sentai, while others join as guest stars.
* [[Retroactive Preparation]]: "I traveled back in time with 'The Liner' until before I was at your studio and saved myself from Lord Gaga." Followed by [[Hanging a Lampshade]] on it with "you know, like video games".
* [[Science Fantasy]]: Both [[In-Universe]], and the game itself!
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: The monster Dopi looks like an iPod. A giant, mecha-size iPod.
Line 52 ⟶ 57:
** [[Nick Fury|Rick Anger]] from A.R.M.O.R.
** The giant angry yellow sponge insists on being called [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Robert]], no nicknames please.
** Ranger Night Driver gives the entire "[[Taken (film)|I have special set of skills]]" speech, when trying to find the rest of his team.
* [[Superhero Packing Heat]]: Everyone can, but especially Techie, who has special firearms attacks.
* [[Theme Song Power Up]]: In the final battle, natch.
