El Gran Juego de la Oca: Difference between revisions

The player to successfully make it to space 63 by exact count won any money he or she had banked and earned the right to perform a final challenge outside the studio, sometimes even abroad, for a chance to win a car.

----

* [[Bonus Round]]: ''La Reoca'', in which a player had one week to complete a final mission outside the studio to win the car.

* [[Bonus Space]]: Landing on an ''Oca'' (goose) allowed you to move to the next ''Oca'' and [[Extra Turn|roll again]].

* [[Consolation Prize]]: None were mentioned until the tournament semifinals, where the losers had to complete a ''[[Bonus Round|Reoca]]'' to win one. Losing tournament finalists each won a motorcycle.

* [[Home Game]]: Inverted; the board game was invented first.

** Any other "punishment" space, as not going through with the "punishment" cleaned out the contestant's bankroll.

=== Tropes played with as part of specific challenges: ===

* [[Bankruptcy Barrel]]: On a couple of episodes, a contestant would be required to lie down on a large wheel which would then be spun. Along with spaces that awarded or took away money, as well as one that did nothing, three of them had a picture of a goose in a barrel - if the contestant's head landed on one of these, he or she had to get inside an actual barrel, strip completely naked, and finish the rest of the show wearing only the barrel.

* [[Celebrity Edition]]: Done twice; one on [[New Year Has Come|New Year's Eve]] and one in the spring.

* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: Maxtor attempted it once, and the challenge was automatically awarded to the contestant.

* [[Crowd Chant]]: "¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui! ¡Fle-qui!"

** Done for some contestants as well (most in 3/4 time).

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: Natch.

* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: The lyrics are an invitation for you as the viewer to come play the game yourself if you are brave and "feel like [[Superman]]''.

* [[Fan Service]]: Pretty much ''any'' supporting cast member.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: ''La fea besucona'' ("the ugly kissing lady") and her male counterpart ''el mimoso pringoso'' ("the greasy lover").

* [[Minigame Game]]: Consisted of ''pruebas'' in three or four different forms: those that appeared every show and were assigned a specific space (the wall, chopping watermelons, and the "punishment" spaces, to name a few, although this did not mean they were actually played every episode); those that appeared regularly but were not assigned a space (most notably ''"Beso y tortazo"'', the "kiss or slap" game); those that appeared only a handful of times throughout the run; and those that were only played once.

* [[Recursive Import]]: The show originated in Italy as ''Il grande gioco dell' oca''. The Spanish version was the first to use a barber (an idea of Emilio's). The next season in Italy, they had a barber.

* [[Sampling]]: The end of the [[Theme Tune]] and the cut-to-commercial music both sample the opening bar of "Stars and Stripes Forever".

* [[Scary Black Man]] / [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Maxtor, who started beating the crap out of everyone immediately upon entering and against whom the contestant had to beat in a contest.

* [[The Thunderdome]]: The cage near the end of the board.

* [[Troperrific]]: The show used so many and to such an extent that it was almost (if not directly) an invitation for contestants to test their skills against the raw elements of every movie and TV show ever produced.
