'''''Epic Battle Fantasy''''' is a trilogy, soon to be{{when}} tetralogy, of flash games developed by Matt Roszak. You play as a [[Magic Knight]]-type character in [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Pirate gear who uses "Bushido"]] (and a rather impressive collection of specialized swords and other weapons) along with his team mate ([[Word of God]] [http://comments.deviantart.com/1/129527314/1192202029 denies] any further relationship), a [[Fan Service]]-y mage named [[Ms. Fanservice|Natalie]] (or Natz for short). The plot for the original game is literally non-existent; you just fight wave after wave of enemies with the occasional stop at a shop to buy items. The second game continues the fight-only tradition (with an actual plot this time), but now there are save points and a minigame you can play to earn more money for the shops. After defeating the final boss, a neo-Nazi named Lance who tried to take over the world, he sides with the heroes and joins the party for the third game.
 
''Epic Battle Fantasy'' is a trilogy, soon to be tetralogy, of flash games developed by Matt Roszak.
You play as a [[Magic Knight]]-type character in [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Pirate gear who uses "Bushido"]] (and a rather impressive collection of specialized swords and other weapons) along with his team mate ([[Word of God]] [http://comments.deviantart.com/1/129527314/1192202029 denies] any further relationship), a [[Fan Service]]-y mage named [[Ms. Fanservice|Natalie]] (or Natz for short). The plot for the original game is literally non-existent; you just fight wave after wave of enemies with the occasional stop at a shop to buy items. The second game continues the fight-only tradition (with an actual plot this time), but now there are save points and a minigame you can play to earn more money for the shops. After defeating the final boss, a neo-Nazi named Lance who tried to take over the world, he sides with the heroes and joins the party for the third game.
 
The third game in question involves the heroes (along with Lance, now a member of the team) [[Restart At Level One|cruelly reduced to Level 0]] after releasing an [[Eldritch Abomination]] named Akron by [[Too Dumb to Live|poking it with their weapons]]. The game now uses a more traditional RPG approach, where the characters walk around a world map, level up, learn new skills (and re-learn old ones), etc. They travel across several locales, do [[Fetch Quest|optional fetch quests]] for NPCs, and get into the occasional minigame.

Has grown its own [[Shout-Out]] [[Epic Battle Fantasy/Shout Out|page.]]
 
----
=== Tropes used in Epic Battle Fantasy: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adorable Evil Minions]]: Kittens, slimes, and bushes show up throughout the series as [[Mook|mooks]].
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The first two games can be seen as this, exaggerating the linearity of [[Eastern RPG|Eastern RPGs]], particularly [[Final Fantasy]], but also showing how fun they can be. The third game becomes a straight [[Eastern RPG]], however.
* [[Airborne Mook]]: Most flying enemies in general have high evade rates, making them a pain to hit if you don't debuff their evasion beforehand.
* [[Always Check Behind the Chair]]: Some treasure chests in the third game are hidden behind the [[Obstructive Foreground]], requiring the player to check behind places like bushes, a gravestone, and a snow sculpture.
Line 32 ⟶ 29:
* [[Awesome but Practical]]: The Deep Blue gunblade in ''Epic Battle Fantasy 3''. It's unique as one of the few Water-element weapons/skills usable by the player in the game, and completely dominates the Desert and Lava portions of the game because of the abundance of enemies weak to water or take neutral damage from water. In addition, the gunblade's abilities itself are fantastic: the primary stats boosted by the weapon are Atk and Magic, which go hand in hand with its upgradable ability to counter AND a chance to cast Flood when attacking (including when counter attacking!). Even its "Unleash" special synergizes well with Lance by boosting his Atk by up to 50% when fully upgraded, allowing him to use his Unload spell to inflict massive damage before repeating the combo with more Atk buffs.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|No Legs the cat]] goes [[One-Man Army]] on whole [[Zerg Rush|zerg rushes]] of enemies during the bonus stages of Epic Battle Fantasy 2, and is [[Character Tiers|top tier]] in [[Bullet Hell|Bullet Heaven]].
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Although, he was a relatively weak boss in the first Epic Battle Fantasy, and pathetically weak in the [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/458245 quick-draw competition].
* [[Bag of Sharing]]: Averted. It applies to items in all of the games, but it then expands to drops in the third game and is averted with equipment.
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in the third game, where doing something stupid makes the heroes lose all their equipment and get depowered.
* [[Beach Episode]]: In the third game. Unfortunately, it does not end well.
* [[Beehive Barrier]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Barrier]] spell.
* [[BFG]]: Lance likes them. Some enemies also use them. The Gunslingers in particular have a massive cannon that attempts to instantly kill a party member. This is also lampshaded ingame: when the attack is first used, the characters mention that if it hits, your chances of survival are low, but with a gun that huge, their accuracy can't be good...
Line 45 ⟶ 42:
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the third game. First, the whole group throws up while eating slimes (except for Natalie; she threw up before she could eat one). Then it is implied that they ate the Giant Squid boss. Finally, Matt and Lance try to eat the last Woolly Mammoth after defeating it. Only Natz's pity for the creature saves it from becoming dinner.
** After the party defeats a turtle enemy:
{{quote| '''Matt:''' Let's make a turtle soup out of this guy!}}
** In the volcano area, Matt comments that it's a shame they didn't get to kill whatever left those giant skeletons around, because the lava would've made it easy to cook. A few screens later they fight a dragon, though sadly aren't shown eating it.
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: To some extent. The second game has a "blood" option.
Line 55 ⟶ 52:
* [[Boss Rush]]: There's one in Adventure Story, along with a "Foe Rush" which has rooms of the regular enemies from each level. Interestingly in the boss rush the arenas have been upgraded to make the fights much harder.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In the third game, Natz says, "Why are the jellyfish flying? Would it be harder just to draw some water underneath?"
** In the first secret area, Lance speculates that the author was too lazy to add a background.
** In one of the first two games, when Natz does her limit break and thus gets a jiggly breast close-up, she then has a chance to comment "That's enough Fanservice for now."
* [[Breast Plate]]: The third game's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|breastplate]] armor for Natz.
Line 61 ⟶ 58:
* [[Bullet Hell]]: The [http://www.kongregate.com/games/kupo707/bullet-heaven Bullet Heaven spinoff]. Lance also has a fire-elemental attack in the third game that is named Bullet Hell, and the animation really fits.
* [[Cameo]]: Lots and lots, including several bosses in the first game, many of the summons, and a lot of the NPCs in the third game. Cameos are generally from anime and Pokemon.
* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: The second game makes no mention of the first game's final boss outside of his suicide explosion.
* [[Cat Smile]]:
** Matt and Natalie use this a lot.
Line 67 ⟶ 64:
* [[Censor Box]]: Used during the beholder's "secret move". Also on naked NPCs.
** If the players are to be believed, the beholder's "secret move" is {{spoiler|exactly what you'd expect.}}
{{quote| '''Natz''': Eww. I hope I don't get pregnant from this.}}
* [[Changing Clothes Is a Free Action]]: Averted. Matt can instantaneously switch swords, but doing so eats up a turn. The third game follows suit for all characters, though multiple pieces of equipment can be changed at once.
* [[Character Development]]: The third game.
Line 78 ⟶ 75:
* [[Cool Sword]]: Loads of them appear in the series that define this. Naturally, it's Matt's [[Weapon of Choice]].
* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: They appear a lot in the series, mainly in [[White Magic]] spells. However, the fourth game has them as decorative "flair".
* [[Cute'Em Up]]: The Bullet Heaven spinoff pretty much defines this.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: ''[[Author Appeal|Everywhere]]''.
** No Legs.
Line 86 ⟶ 82:
*** Godcat (the 4th of the EBF 3.3 bosses) is coming back for EBF 4.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Natalie has those when she uses her Kyun [[Limit Break]].
* [[Cute'Em Up]]: The Bullet Heaven spinoff pretty much defines this.
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: The characters lampshade this frequently in the third game, often showing no concern when they or their teammates die.
{{quote| '''Natalie:''' Meatshield down!}}
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Defeat also means less [[Those Wacky Nazis|Swastikas]] and reduced desire to conquer the world.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: The Beholder, Zombie Hydra, and Sandworm are back in the 3rd game as enemies. Fortunately, they have far less hit points, the Hydra can no longer revive each head, and the Sandworm isn't assisted by its tail.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!]]: Yeah! Poke the chained demon lord!
** [[Only Sane Man|Natalie]] states that she warned the other two not to touch it, but, like always, she was soundly ignored.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|The first game, in which Zombie Goku's death explosion not only nearly kills the heroes, but also severely devastates the world. The second game has you dealing with the fallout.}}
** {{spoiler|Nearly occurs in the second game when Matt and Natz are graphically poisoned to death due to eating a dead sand worm. Luckily for them, an [[Deus Ex Machina|aptly named angel]] comes along to save the day.}}
Line 100 ⟶ 97:
** As seen in the opening cutscene/introduction and the very last cutscene with the final boss, Lance was supposed to have a [[Wave Motion Gun]] attack that shot a golden laser. He ''does'' eventually get that attack, though, but in 3.3.
** Matt released a video post-''Bullet Heaven'' on his [[YouTube]] channel showing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBGUrJcJiQ attack patterns that didn't make it into] ''Bullet Heaven''.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Akron, the demon. After being awakened, he makes a black hole in space and causes a volcano to erupt, along with warping space and leading the protagonists to the town.
* [[Electric Jellyfish]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Oh boy... first there's the basic stuff like {{color|red|fire}}, {{color|yellow|thunder}}, {{color|cyan|ice}}, and {{color|brown|earth}}, along with rare (as of the third game) elements such as {{color|blue|water}} and {{color|gray|wind}}, where only a few attacks and items deal them. There is also {{color|purple|dark}} and {{color|pink|holy}}, but then it gets weird since {{color|green|poison}} (which mostly goes for plant/organic themed things) and {{color|orange|bomb}} are also counted as elements.
** on the subject of holy, Natz' bomb in Bullet Heaven is as of the time of editing a [[Holy Hand Grenade|page image]]
* [[Electric Jellyfish]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Akron, the demon. After being awakened, he makes a black hole in space and causes a volcano to erupt, along with warping space and leading the protagonists to the town.
* [[Enemy Scan]]: In the second game, Natalie could summon a Scanbot, and in the third, Lance had a Scan skill. Both games had medals for scanning enough enemies.
* [[Essence Drop]]: In ''Adventure Story'', enemies drop hearts and green bubbles, which restore your health and mana respectively.
Line 114 ⟶ 111:
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Played straight with Natalie for all three games.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Every damn boss in the third game is this. Even the [[The Dragon|Pyrohydra]], who at first seems to avert it by being a [[Dual Boss]] instead, starts summoning minions when reduced to one head.
* [[PowerFreudian Trio]]:
** [[Freudian Trio]]: Matt, (Id) Natz, (Ego) and Lance (Superego).
** [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]
** [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]
** [[Two Guys and a Girl]]
* [[Gainaxing]] : Not only does Natalie happily jiggle here and there, clicking her boobs while she's standing still will make them bounce. {{spoiler|You get a ''medal'' for doing it enough.}}
** Please don't leave 1,000 comments about this again.
Line 125 ⟶ 127:
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels|Epic mode]]. [[Nintendo Hard|Oh so]] [[Luck-Based Mission|very much]].
** [[Bullet Hell|The bonus levels in 3.3]]. They're just upgraded versions of the bosses. This being a [[Bullet Hell]] game, have fun finding the parts of the screen that ''aren't'' occupied with '''pain'''!!!
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: This apparently happens each game. First, No Legs joins your party in the second game, when in the first game he rides the first mini boss, and then the Beholder joins too ([[Face Heel Turn|and then it's an enemy in 3 again]]). Then, of course, Lance after you beat him in the second game.
* [[He Knows About Timed Hits]]: Typically from [[NPC|NPCs]] in town.
** Matt, Natalie, and Lance all [[Medium Awareness|seem to be aware that they are in a game]], often making note of the game's mechanics midbattle.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: This apparently happens each game. First, No Legs joins your party in the second game, when in the first game he rides the first mini boss, and then the Beholder joins too ([[Face Heel Turn|and then it's an enemy in 3 again]]). Then, of course, Lance after you beat him in the second game.
* [[Ice Breaker]]: The ''other'' way to get rid of the freezing effect besides healing is to get attacked while frozen, for bonus damage. Lampshaded by an [[NPC]] in the third game as you go into [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|Glacier Valley]] that it's probably a bad idea to do that to allies, and it's better to heal them. Also lampshaded by Natz when she first uses Regen, remarking that it'll probably be a good way to get rid of freeze.
* [[Idle Animation]]: A frequent source of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]
Line 133 ⟶ 135:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: If the second NPC preview tells anything, there may be at least two: one male, one female. In the world map, they are both found at Rock Lake, which could imply that it's a nude beach.
** Turns out they're not "innocent", however...
{{quote| '''Matt''': Don't come any closer, gramps. You'll scar this girl for life.<br />
'''Natalie''': Too late. D: }}
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]]
* [[Instant Runes]]: They frequently pop up whenever a spell is cast. Matt, Natalie, and Lance also have unique ones representing them and cast them when defending.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Arguably, Lance. The guy tries to take over the world after it was left in bad shape from the first game, and in the scene before you fight him, it's hinted that he killed basically anything in his way. ''His'' comeuppance? He joins the party because he used to be the male lead's friend. <ref>That, and also because he and the male lead grew to admire each other's fighting spirit during the battle. Or something like that.</ref> However, [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|seeing as you can play as him in the third game...]]
* [[King Mook]]: Giant slimes and the Beholder to the slimes and eyeballs.
* [[Kill Sat]]: The Ion cannon.
{{quote| '''Lance:''' "Don't worry, it's solar powered. Minimal damage to the environment and radiation, but still lethal. I'm quite proud of it."}}
* [[King Mook]]: Giant slimes and the Beholder to the slimes and eyeballs.
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: In the third game, you can actually walk around in a world map. And thus, this trope is born.
** Lampshaded in Glacier Valley if you go to an igloo. Matt will wonder if the vikings will mind if you take their stuff, Lance will say that you'll need to anyway [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|if you want the treasure hunter medals]], and Natalie will try to get them to stop stealing everything. Lampshaded yet again when you come across ''another'' unlocked tent in Volcano Peak, at which point Natalie agrees to steal things.
{{quote| '''Lance:''' "[[OOC Is Serious Business|You've changed]]." }}
** Lampshaded early game if you find the "secret" back area of the shops where you can loot the shopkeeper's treasure chests. Natz will question if it's stealing, and Matt will only reply "Just take it and run!"
* [[Last Lousy Point]]: Certain single coins or far-off chests in ''Adventure Story'' can be this.
Line 152 ⟶ 154:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Natz in some early artworks.
* [[Monster Compendium]]: The Bestiary in the second and third games.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: To different degrees, Matt and [[Good -Looking Privates|Lance]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Natz <s>is slowly becoming</s> ''is'' this. Heck, it gets taken to a whole new level in the second game's [[Game Over]] screen, where her dress is nearly ripped apart. You can even click her breasts to induce [[Gainaxing]]. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the third game with her [[Catgirl]] and ''Cow Girl'' outfits.
* [[Multi Melee Master]]: Matt, in all three games. Excluding a few pieces of concept art, it's never shown where he stashes all of his swords; in battle, he just glows and voila, the sword changes.
Line 159 ⟶ 161:
** When the Ancient Monolith uses an [[Kamehame Hadouken|energy beam]] on the party, Matt will say that he once knew [[Dragonball Z|a spiky yellow-haired guy who shot beams like that]], referencing [[FF Battle]]. Or the first EBF. Or [[Final Fantasy VII]].
* [[New Game+]]: In the third game, it's possible to start a new game while retaining your levels, skills, items, etc. It is very satisfying to go through again and easily destroy every single boss that gave you trouble previously.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Matt always wears a pirate hat in the games. In the third game, he even swims with his hat on. The third game gives him and Lance different hats to wear, but chances are you'll never see them without a hat on.
* [[Notice This]]: Several instances in the third game.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Matt always wears a pirate hat in the games. In the third game, he even swims with his hat on. The third game gives him and Lance different hats to wear, but chances are you'll never see them without a hat on.
* [[Ninja]]: In the third game, there's Ninja equipment for both guys and Natz.
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: Humorously averted in the third game. Matt expresses fear over crossing an unstable bridge, Lance just says that the party isn't coming back for him if he falls.
* [[Notice This]]: Several instances in the third game.
* [[Number of the Beast]]: In Bullet Hell, you get a medal for dying with over 666 bullets on the screen.
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: Humorously averted in the third game. Matt expresses fear over crossing an unstable bridge, Lance just says that the party isn't coming back for him if he falls.
* [[Obstructive Foreground]]: The third game uses this extensively to hide treasure chests.
* [[Only Sane Woman]]: Natz.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: The first two games have a pattern where the second-to-last boss and the last boss have one. One of the zombie hydra's attacks, and one of the tank's cannons in the second game, and the spirit bomb and mega lazer in the first. Thankfully, all of these (except for the Zombie Hydra's instant-death spell) are [[Charged Attack|Charged Attacks]], and they aren't true One-Hit Kills - they just do such ridiculously high damage that they might as well be. As long as your HP is high enough, you can use the [[Defend Command]] to avoid utter annihilation.
** In addition to all of the above, one of the platforms that the Valkyrie (aforementioned tank) can bring up to assist itself is a nuke-launching station. Its only attack is to advance a countdown. And the nuke will be launched at you when it ends. The only way to save yourself from that one is to demolish the nuke station before this can happen. And it's entirely possible for it to have ''two'' nukes being prepared for launch simultaneously. For more [[Final Boss]] cheapness, Goku from the first game still gets to take his turn after his [[Combined Energy Attack|Spirit Bomb]] lands. Thankfully (or not,) he never spends that turn charging up ''another'' Spirit Bomb. Instead, he uses one of his ''other'' super-painful moves. Though he can<ref>and probably ''will'' when at low health</ref> launch another Spirit Bomb on the turn ''after'' that.
** The third game adds in a handful of regular enemies that can use these (or, more specifically, that instant-death move that the Zombie Hydra used. You'll know when this is the case because the display indicating how much damage you took will read "'''DEATH'''" instead of a numerical value. By the way, that little [[Grim Reaper]] isn't the only enemy move that can cause instant death anymore... it's just the only one that's ''guaranteed'' to be a [[One-Hit Kill]] if it connects. And you've got quite a few [[One-Hit Kill]] moves in your arsenal, as well (though most of them are functions of specific weapons.)
*** On top of all the instant death attacks in EBF 3, Doomsday counts too, and is a definite [[That One Attack]]; if you don't have sufficient dark resistance, you WILL die.
* [[Only Sane Woman]]: Natz.
* [[Overly-Long Fighting Animation]]: Some [[Limit Break|Limit Breaks]] in the third game have their own cutscenes. Luckily, they're short and fun to watch.
* [[Panty Shot]]: While averted, [http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7173/eb3shot.png Lance seemed to get flashed] when the party tried to jump across a cliff. After he made it, Matt tried to carry Natz across, and accidentally held her at a rather awkward angle.
* [[Parasol Parachute]]: The last hidden item in Adventure Story. Surprisingly good as a sword too.
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Anna's hair shades nicely over her right eye.
* [[Tank Goodness]]: In the third game, Lance has an ability where he orders his boss tank from the second game to fire its machine guns at the enemy. If you find and completely upgrade his old Nazi hat and outfit from the second game, the tank will randomly fire either its machine guns or its main cannon (and sometimes ''both'') at the enemy for free.
** Don't forget one of his limit breaks, in which he ''pounds the tank into the bad guys and then [[Stuff Blowing Up|blows it up]]''.
* [[The Power of Rock]]: The Power Metal attack, which plays a small bit of "Through the Fire and Flames".
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The three characters are ''not'' bright. They die in the second game when they eat a sandworm, despite knowing that it had attacks that implied it was obviously poisonous. Then, they poke a chained, obviously evil demon that steals their power. Lampshaded in the third game, when they admit that solving a puzzle hurt their heads.
* [[Treasure Room]]: There's one after each [[Boss Battle]] in ''Adventure Story''.
* [[Power Trio]]:
** [[Freudian Trio]]: Matt, (Id) Natz, (Ego) and Lance (Superego).
** [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]
** [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]
** [[Two Guys and a Girl]]
* [[Putting on the Reich]]: Lance's outfit in the second game is quite... [[Shaped Like Itself|Nazi-like.]]
** Note that the Swastiska on Lance's uniform faces the opposite direction from its Nazi-emblem variant. This version of the Swastiska is, believe it or not, the Buddhist symbol for peace... {{spoiler|which [[Fridge Brilliance|is a neat reflection]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|on Lance's ultimate goals]].}}
Line 192 ⟶ 185:
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Especially if they're also Gunblades.
* [[Rule of Fun]]: The whole point of the series.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|The second game tells you that you get a new party member at the ''very'' end of the game.}}
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Matt has a move called "Screamer", as in the "Scary Maze" kind of screamer.
** According to the creator, it's a picture of his dog with the colors inverted. Note that this revelation shows up in the art gallery of the first game - the other two use the ''exact same screamer image''.
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: Play as one player. Or two in the third game, seeing how there will be up to five enemies in one battle in contrast to the first two games' three, one player will be nearly impossible. Although stunning and freezing enemies will make such a challenge harder.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|The second game tells you that you get a new party member at the ''very'' end of the game.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Now with it's [[Epic Battle Fantasy/Shout Out|own page.]]
* [[Storm of Blades]]: The Ragnarok [[Limit Break]].
Line 201 ⟶ 194:
* [[Super-Deformed]]: The party in the overworld map is drawn in chibi style in the third game.
* [[Sword and Sorcerer]]: Matt and Natz in the first two games.
* [[Tank Goodness]]: In the third game, Lance has an ability where he orders his boss tank from the second game to fire its machine guns at the enemy. If you find and completely upgrade his old Nazi hat and outfit from the second game, the tank will randomly fire either its machine guns or its main cannon (and sometimes ''both'') at the enemy for free.
** Don't forget one of his limit breaks, in which he ''pounds the tank into the bad guys and then [[Stuff Blowing Up|blows it up]]''.
* [[They Killed Kenny]]: Earlier flashes made by the creator had this happen to Goku. You kill him once in the first game even.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://epicbattlefantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Epic_Battle_Fantasy_Wiki Here.]
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: The Ion attack in the second game. While you ''can'' use it whenever you want, doing so causes ''extreme'' damage to the entire party. In the third game, Lance and Natz both have attacks that hurt the party: Nuke and Black Hole, respectively (though not Ion).
** In addition, Meow Meow and Catastrophe in the first. Summoning Meow Meow featured a 30% chance of his sword breaking and damaging the party as well, and [[Golden Sun|Catastrophe]]'s third sword always hit P2 (Natz) for high damage.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The three characters are ''not'' bright. They die in the second game when they eat a sandworm, despite knowing that it had attacks that implied it was obviously poisonous. Then, they poke a chained, obviously evil demon that steals their power. Lampshaded in the third game, when they admit that solving a puzzle hurt their heads.
* [[Trauma Inn]]
* [[Treasure Room]]: There's one after each [[Boss Battle]] in ''Adventure Story''.
* [[Dual Boss|Triple Boss]]: Fighting the Red Hydra in the third game is more like fighting three bosses at once.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: "{{smallcaps|DEATH}}"
Line 218 ⟶ 214:
** [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Volcano Peak
** {{spoiler|[[Space Zone]]: Outer Space}}
* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: The Wooly Mammoth boss can kill the party within a few turns if you're not careful. It basically serves to teach that there are more aspects to gameplay than attacking and using spells.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: a lot of the enemies. Also, Lance's bomb in 3.3.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://epicbattlefantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Epic_Battle_Fantasy_Wiki Here.]
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: The Wooly Mammoth boss can kill the party within a few turns if you're not careful. It basically serves to teach that there are more aspects to gameplay than attacking and using spells.
* [[You Should Know This Already]]: Lance joins the party at the end of the second game, Zombie Goku razes the planet causing an [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] at the end of the first game, and the plot of the third game is propelled by an [[Idiot Ball]] from [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!|poking a demon god.]]
