Sparkles everywhere! Must be Magic!
Line 14:
Even when the sparkles are justified for the inherent qualities of the materials used, it's still a bit exaggerated in fiction.
 
[[Our Fairies Are Different|Fairies]] are often prone to sparkling. And this is often associated with [[Fairy Tale|Fairy Tales]]s and [[Princess Classic]].
 
Many video games use sparkles as a form of [[Notice This]].
Line 22:
A [[Super-Trope]] to [[Bishie Sparkle]], [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]].

▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga ]] ==
* Loads of it in a [[Magical Girl]] show.
** And [[Girls Love]]. ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'' is a good example.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'s'' GN tech. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VuwagwupX8 Just watch the opening.]
* In ''[[The Wallflower]]'' and its anime adaptation ''[[Yamato Nadeshiko]] Shichi Henge'' (''Perfect Girl Evolution''), all the pretty people are represented with sparkles, which is referenced by [[Gorn]]-loving protagonist Sunako; the people that do this are known as "people of light" (Sunako is one of the "people of darkness," of course).
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Alex Louis Armstrong]] and his [[Bishie Sparkle]]. Just not to his fellow officers, who get creeped out.
* Princess [[Go LionGoLion|Fala]]/[[Voltron|Allura]] sometimes sparkles.▼
** Just not to his fellow officers, who get creeped out.
* ''Just'' to give the [[Memetic Mutation|infamous]] [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|potato chip]] scene in ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' that much more oomph, this trope was invoked.▼
▲* Princess [[Go Lion|Fala]]/[[Voltron|Allura]] sometimes sparkles.
▲* ''Just'' to give the [[Memetic Mutation|infamous]] [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|potato chip]] scene in ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' that much more oomph, this trope was invoked.
* Rakuto sparkles an awful lot in ''[[Wild Ones]]''.
* In one episode of ''[[Gankutsuou]]'', Haydee attends an opera wearing what can only be described as the sparkliest dress ever.
* ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'' Contests feature these in spades, especially in Sinnoh. And we mean literally; there are plenty of spore-based attacks that resemble sparkles.
** Starting from ''Diamond and Pearl'', Pokémon now sparkle when released from their Poké Balls, which means that, as of 2006, ''every single episode'' invokes this trope!
* ''[[Karakuridouji Ultimo]]''. They had to have spilt glitter glue on the pages. Ultimo with all his [[Bishie Sparkle]] scenes. (Yamato gets in on it too.) the bonus comic Ultimo Ulate had ''entire pages'' with nothing but sparkles for backdrop. There was even a sparkly rainbow on one page. Oh did we mention the food yet?
** By the way, this is a science fiction, mecha/robot, ''shonen'' series.
* Soushi Miketsukami does that often when talking to or about Ririchiyo Shirakiin in ''[[Inu x Boku SS]]''
* All over the place in ''[[Rose of Versailles (Manga)|Rose of Versailles]]'', with [[Bishie Sparkle]] being one of the many types being used in the series.
** In fact, '70s [[shoujo]] manga have this as standard practice to have sparkles.
* Due to being an anime about figure skating (an sport full of glitter), there is no shortage of sparkling in ''[[Yuri!!! on Ice]]''.
 
== [[Comic Books ]] ==▼
 
▲== Comic Books ==
* [[Miracleman]] is a tall, superstrong superhero who routinely rips people apart. And he sparkles.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* This becomes a [[Discussed Trope]] in the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' fanfic ''[[Isekai by Moonlight]]'' when the Sailor Senshi watch an episode of their own anime.
{{quote|"Wow, that's a sparkly transformation sequence," [[Affectionate Nickname|Bunny-chan]] said.
Rei-san asked, "Would you rather people saw pictures of you naked?"
"Sparkly is good."}}
 
== Films [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Ramona and Beezus]]'' "Every princess needs a little sparkle"
* Used in ''[[Leonard Part 6]]'', showing that sparkles are better, but not funnyfunnier.
* ''[[Velvet Goldmine]]'' loves its glitter - which is appropriate as it's about a [[Bishonen]] glam rock star.
* [[Donnie Darko|Sparkle Motion!]]
* ''[[Dreamgirls]]'': Jimmy "Thunder" Early claims he invented flashy costumes, four cannons of confetti go off in the finale, and the credits look like they're set in a starfield.
* The 1984 movie ''[[Legend]]'' (with a very young Tom Cruise) is FULL''full'' of sparkles. Each of the characters is covered in glitter (including the devil-esque character's hooves). As are many of the sets, especially after the planet flash-freezes. The treasure trove scene where Tom Cruise gets his golden sword and shield takes it especially far over the top.
* Speaking of [[The Eighties]] and glitter, [[David Bowie]] in ''[[Labyrinth (Film)|Labyrinth]]'', anyone?
* Snow White's [[Pretty in Mink|fur-trimmed]] staking dress in ''[[Snow White and The Three Stooges]]'' is loaded with sequins.
* In ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]'', Swarglok (an equivalent of [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]]) has lots of sparkles for the background. Maruti's [[Dream Sequence]] also has lots of sparkles.
* Glinda's [[Pink Means Feminine|pink dress and hat]] in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' have sequins sewn into them.
* In ''[[The Wizard Ofof Speed and Time (film)|The Wizard of Speed Andand Time]]'', the television special's producers argue over whether the use of sparkle F/X will exceed the program's budget. They eventually agree to use ''one'' sparkle. (Meanwhile, Mike hand-animates a veritable hurricane of sparkles into his film.)
 
== [[Literature ]] ==▼
 
* ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'''s vampires sparkle in direct sunlight (you'd usually think vampires burn, but that's [[Common Knowledge]] from Hollywood films).▼
▲== Literature ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
▲* ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'''s vampires sparkle in direct sunlight (you'd usually think vampires burn, but that's [[Common Knowledge]] from Hollywood films).
** In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels, theThe Glingleglingleglingle Fairy has the job of heralding major fairy magic by ringing a handbell and throwing some chopped tinsel in the air. Discworld magic usually happens without any fuss, but fairies know what's expected of them.
** In one scene near the end of the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'', when Susan (Death's grand-daughter) hurls the nursery room poker (made of rather cheap metal) ''through'' Death's ribcage at {{spoiler|the assassin Mr. Teatime behind him, where it embeds itself in Teatime's chest and kills him,}} the flying poker "made [[Audible Sharpness|a ripping noise]] as it shot through the air, and trailed sparks". Death later admits to Susan that he did add the sparkly stars and the noise, because he thought it would be appropriate (because there were two small children watching).
* Odd hard sci-fi example: in ''[[The Diamond Age]]'' it's say that radio waves are too long to be practically used by [[Nanomachines]] and they instead communicate on visual light frequencies. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|yeah... nanobots talk with sparkles]]
* [[Mortal Instruments|Magnus Bane]] sure loves his body glitter.
* The subsea pioneers in ''[[Dark Life (Literature)|Dark Life]]'' eat bioluminescent fish--whichfish—which eventually makes their skin shiny.
* ''[[The Nutcracker and The Mouse King (Literaturenovel)|The Nutcracker and The Mouse King]]'' practically rolls in this trope, especially in the Land of Dolls.
 
 
== [[Live -Action TV ]] ==
* ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''. Every female dancer dress (and sometimes, even male ones).
* "[[Wheel of Fortune|Wheel! Of! Fortune!]]"
* There was an [[Anti Role Model]] type TV ad for heroin, with a sparkly logo, a song beginning "Everybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it," and black-and-white footage of a guy throwing up in a toilet.
* The transporters and replicators in ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' do this.
* On ''[[The Daily Show]]'', magic is usually indicated with a bit of hand-waving and the word "Magic!" The reason they ''don't'' use sparkles becomes clear when they briefly experiment with them - either the desk gets covered in glitter which someone will have to clean up, or [[Special Effects Failure]] [[Hilarity Ensues|Ensues]].
** The old (1998-2005) set was pretty sparkly itself. I'm thinking particularly of that glittery splash of magenta on the backdrop behind Jon's head.
* The ''[[Stargate Atlantis (TV)|Stargate Atlantis]]'' fanvid [https://web.archive.org/web/20090910045320/http://www.elefantpaw.com/vids.htm "Another Sunday"].
* In the [[Dork Age|Bruce Kalish seasons]] of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' the fire effects in the original [[Super Sentai]] footage were replaced with fire-type sparkle effects, when not cut altogether.
* ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]'', especially for the ladies.
* The magic on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' occasionally comes with extra sparkles. Especially when it comes from Willow.
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''The Stones of Blood'' features the Megara, entities of the law that manifest as two clusters of floating sparkles. With quite masculine voices.
* Whenever a contestant wins the top prize on ''[[Who Wants to Be Aa Millionaire?]]'', he or she is covered with falling confetti. And in the UK version, the confetti is metallic... or sparkly.
 
== [[Music ]] ==▼
 
▲== Music ==
* "Glitter in the Air" by P!nk
* "Give it Away" by the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] had glitter used.
* The entire genre of "Glam" Rock. All about the glitter.
* The sparkly synthesizer/electric piano used in many [[Award Bait Song|Award Bait songs]]s.
* Almost every [[Ke$ha]] song has at least one reference to glitter in it.
* The Japanese music video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fq2cwZf7pc LOVE Dokkyun] by Club Prince is a comically notable abuser: random sparkles cheaply overlayed throughout a large portion of the video, intersecting with [[Bishie Sparkle]]. The sparkles eventually [[It Got Worse|digress into]] [[Everything's Cuter Withwith Lucky Charms|pink spinning hearts]].
* The video for "Toxic" has [[Britney Spears]] wearing an amount of glitter and diamonds (and a glittery thong) barely enough to cover her modesty and still give her a very sparkly appearance. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ToxicMusicVideo.jpg Observe].
 
== [[New Media]] ==▼
 
* Fandom Wank denizens parodiesparodied this by using sparkly text to mocking out stupid or self-evident statements, [[Ironic Nickname|calling it]] "[https://web.archive.org/web/20121214193725/http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/Sparkle_text The Sparklies of Truth]" . The trend (and the nickname) began after reviewing a wank where the main person involved expressed her thoughts by using bold text with a sparkle background in a failed attempt to impose her point of view,. which<ref>Which was as [[Insane Troll Logic|batshit insane]] as you'd expect from anyone who uses sparkle text for emphasis and expects it to work, boiling down to "[[Fanfiction|fan fiction]] is evil but [[Abusive Parents|child abuse]] is just fine!"</ref>▼
▲== New Media ==
* During the [[Turn of the Millennium]] there was a fad of glittery texts and decorations in blogs, internet posts, and forum signatures, particularly in female-dominated areas of the internet. Several sparkly text generators still exists.

* Behold, [http://cutekaomoji.com/misc/sparkles/ the Sparkly kaomojis]!
* The NORAD Santa Tracker shows Santa's current location as an icon of Santa surrounded by sparkles.
 
== Video[[Tabletop Games]] ==▼
* Some editions of [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]] feature the spell 'Glitterdust', whose entire ''point'' is to create a cloud of sparkles. (Which have some combat applications, mostly by potentially blinding creatures in the area for a short time...but still.) A blinded combatant [[Captain Obvious|can't get line of sight to anything]]. [[Game Breaker|All targeted attacks and most area attacks require line of sight]].▼

== Theater ==
* "The Firefly Boy" in Cirque Du Soleil's Kà is a guy who swings from a trapeze and is covered in sparkles.
** 27.84% of ''every'' Cirque show is glitter.
* In Mark Siano's ''Modern Luv'', Mark and his chorus dancers don Sparkletards for several numbers, and in the 2012 run, Mark wore a green Sparkletard in the second act for St. Patrick's Day.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
 
* The majority of [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Zelda's]] attacks in the ''[[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games involve sparkles. The fairies in the ''Zelda'' games sparkle too, so much that you can't actually see their bodies.▼

* Shiny (or Alternate Colored) [[Pokémon]] sparkle upon leaving their Poké Balls (or being [[Random Encounters|randomly encountered]] in the case of wild Pokémon). It used to be so that you could tell they were special even if you were playing on a monochrome Game Boy, but the effect became so characteristic of Shinies that it's appeared in all games since.
** Starting with FireRed and LeafGreen, Poké Balls now sparkle after a Pokémon is caught.
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* In ''[[Persona 4]]'', {{spoiler|Teddie eventually grows a human form. It always sparkles; and he is very bishonen. His ham-handed attempts at "scoring chicks" prevents him from taking advantage of it fully; although it probably does prevent women from beating him up for trying.}}
* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' most healing spells DO sparkle, making whoever is being healed better, well, medically better.
* Not strictly a video game, but closest category, I think; a recent update for the {{Playstation3 [[PSPlay Station 3]]}} (among other things) added a new home background theme, naming it "Original" and setting it as the default, while renaming the old one "Classic." The difference? "Original" has sparkles!
* Used in ''[[Glider PRO]]'' for a [[Notice This]] effect... or whenever else the level designer feels like making something sparkle.
* Same with the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' games. Any important item will sparkle like a little star. Lesser items in later games will have a white gleam running over them.
* Appears in various places in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', due to [[Square Enix]]'s love of [[Visual Effects of Awesome|razzle-dazzle]], but perhaps most notably in the [[Super Mode|Ex Mode]] of each character, wherein they gain, along with various powerups, a colored aura and cloud/trail of sparkles. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Sephiroth's are purple.]]
* Sparkle Dust is the fifth gag of the Toon-up gag track (or the third strongest healer) in ''[[Toontown Online]]''.
* ''[[The Idolmaster (Videovideo Gamegame)|THE iDOLM@STER]]'' will have [[Unlimited Wardrobe|several]] [[Virtual Paper Doll|outfits]] that glitter.
* ''[[Robot Unicorn Attack (Sugar Wiki)|Robot Unicorn Attack]]''
 
== [[Web Comics ]] ==▼
 
* The webcomic ''[[Strange Candy]]'' has one Adventure Town based on this principle. It's full of Amazons that use sparkles as a weapon to weaken the will of the enemy. The climax comes when Petra uses her mastery of weapons (she loves to use [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hyperspace Mallets]]s) to "hammersparkle". In other words, she "suffocated" the enemy by sparkling so much that even the sparkle-loving Amazon couldn't handle the overload.▼
▲== Web Comics ==
* [[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire (Comic Book)|Louise Dem-Five]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150428210100/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20080216 shows how it's done.]▼

* Defied in the [[Anti Cliche and Mary Sue Elimination Society]]. Since Chrys's foundations are in weeaboo-ism, she likes to emit "desu" sparkles (which are not to be associated with the [[Gratuitous Japanese|Japanese verb of "to be"]]). This is a problem as people can be physically or mentally harmed at the sight of sparkles (they drive Tyler crazy and shock Karissa into a daze). On the other hand, they can be useful in diffusing an angsty atmosphere or can be used like ninja stars. Yes, you heard me.
* Excessively colorful and over-decorated [[Furry Fandom|canine characters]] are often referred to as "Sparkledogs".
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==▼
 
▲== Western Animation ==
* [[Disney Princess]] merchandise uses them, [[Exaggerated Trope|often liberally]]. And as in the picture, sometimes it's just making it look like their [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out Dresses]] are loaded with glitter.
** Also used to show off magic in [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney movies]] like ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'', ''[[Peter Pan]]'', and ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]''. Even [[Evil Chancellor|Jafar]] from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' is [http://magicalscreencaps.com/images/aladdin/gall/aladdin703.jpg Better With Sparkles]{{Dead link}}.
* The logo for ''[[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]]'', and a [[Follow the Leader|similar show]], ''[[Goldie Gold and Action Jack]]''.
** [[Justified Trope]] in that the logos for their shows were supposed to be made of polished gold and/or diamond which do sparkle naturally.
* The Animated ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Animationanimation)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[The Hobbit (Animationanimation)|The Hobbit]]'', and ''[[The Return of the King (Animationanimation)|The Return of the King]]'' rely on sparkles to an insane degree to illustrate magic... and also sword strikes, accompanied by "pew pew" sounds.
* [[Hanna-Barbera]] character Mightor finishes his [[Transformation Sequence]] with a sparkly aura around him and his [[Non-Human Sidekick]].
* <s> [[The Simpsons (animation)|Mr. Sparkle]]</s> [[Japanese Ranguage|MIISTAHH SUPAAKURU!]]
* [[Barbie]] in general uses this trope to the max, but ''[[Barbie and Thethe Diamond Castle]]'' deserves special mention for featuring sparkly ''puppies''. One of which is actually named Sparkles.
* Jessica Rabbit's [[Lady in Red|red dress]] in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''. It only sparkles during her stage show, but that was due to the expense of doing it the rest of her screen time.
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had a sleeping Heloise get covered in sparkles to go along with a bit of [[Ship Tease]].
* ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]''. "You've got a ''sparkly!''
* The sparkles in the ''[[Shrek]]'' movies were nicknamed "[[Disney]] Dust" by the animators.
* [[Jem]]. Many of the terrifyingly fashionable clothes the band wears have sparkles...and then there's the videos. SPARKLE VIDEOS.
* [[PJP.J. Sparkles]] is overflowing with sparkles. The title even tells us so.
* ''[[Winx Club]]'' has each of the girls' fairy wardrobe sprinkled in sparkles.
** Some of the girls have even worn sparkly wardrobe once...or twice...or more.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight Sparkle]], anyone? In the show, magic is indicated by sparkly halos, so it's not surprising that the pony with "Sparkle" in her name represents the Element of Magic.
* The ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' episode "Welcome to Republic City" has a [[Bishie Sparkle]]... for a [[Hobos]]'s ''bush''. When the trope title says "everything", it means ''"everything"''.
* When the [[Princess Classic|true]] [[Princess]] in ''[[The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (Film)|The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland]]'' revives [[Green Thumb|dying plants]], it's in a shower of sparkles.

* Pretty much every single outfit by [[Lady Gaga]].
* [[Kesha|Ke$ha]] cites glitter as her ''hangover cure''.
* Every "artistic" sport discipline that feature liberal use of glitter and studded crystals on the uniforms and on the participants themselves. Among the sparkliest ones:
** Figure skating. One male figure skater once commented about his costumes, "I am a glitter bomb and loving it."
** Women's gymnastics.
** Synchronized swimming.
* Apparently [https://web.archive.org/web/20100608031910/http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDYzMGFiNjQ0MWRjNmI0ZTlkYjgwZTExMjA3MWNiZTk= Sarah Palin's televised presence] is "so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America."
* ''Sparkle World'' magazine is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|exactly what you'd expect from the title]]-- it—it features ''[[My Little Pony]]'', ''[[Rainbow Brite]]'', ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'', and similar [[Tastes Like Diabetes|sickly sweet and sparkly]] stuff aimed at young girls.
* [[Disney Theme Parks]]: ''"it's a small world"''. This also applies to a lot of there parades and stage shows.
* When snow sparkles as it falls, that usually means it's good for making snowballs and snowmen.
