{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes in the ''[[Freddi Fish]]'' series: ===
* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]]: ''Water Worries'', ''Maze Madness'', and ''The Case of the Creature of Coral Cove''.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: This is how Freddi and Luther access the school's boiler room in ''The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse''.
* [[All Deserts Have Cacti]]: ''Freddi Fish 4''.
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: As noted above.
* [[Coat Full of Contraband]]: Standard behavior for Ray, who's pretty much [[Honest John's Dealership]] without the dealership.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: In ''Water Worries'', the bubbles with red outlines are the ones with bad things in or on them.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: The third game has one for each thief.
* [[Cut Song]]: Some games' HE4 files contain [[Dummied Out]] music.
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: ''ABCs Under the Sea'' takes locations from the first, fourth, and fifth games and puts them in completely different places. Grandma Grouper's house from the fifth game even appears twice (well, either that or she got a duplicate house)!
* [[Guilt Based Gaming]]: Luther will sometimes say this if you hit the "Stop" button at the end of the first game:
{{quote| '''Luther''': Freddi! [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|I'm melting!]]}}
* [[Hammerspace]]: To the point where it gets lampshaded in the fourth game, after Freddi manages to store an entire piece of wood.
{{quote| '''Luther:''' How did you do that?<br />
'''Freddi:''' That's my special secret. }}
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: The Junkyard Dogfish. In ''The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds'', he's hungry and growls at Freddi and Luther (biting Luther's tail fin if Freddi and Luther swim too close to him) after Luther accidentally wakes him up, but once Freddi gives him a [[Stock Femur Bone|bone]] he thanks her and leaves. In ''Maze Madness'', he keeps chasing Freddi no matter how many times he takes a Peanut Butter and Jellyfish Sandwich from her. In ''ABCs Under the Sea'', he [[Informed Ability|(supposedly)]] sorts the junkyard's trash, and is happy to let Freddi and Luther help him sort it.
Line 102 ⟶ 101:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Luther pulls a few of these, which are usually followed by [[Don't Explain the Joke]].
* [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]: In ''The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds'', Freddi has a [[Dummied Out]] one.
{{quote| '''Luther:''' Whatcha thinking about, Freddi?<br />
'''Freddi:''' Oh, nothing, Luther. }}
* [[It May Help You on Your Quest]]: Everything.
Line 108 ⟶ 107:
* [[The Lancer]]: Luther.
* [[Large Ham]]: Luther.
* [[Level Editor]]: ''Maze Madness'' has one.
* [[Linked-List Clue Methodology]]: ''The Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds'' has Spongehead's [[Message in a Bottle|bottles]] that lead to Grandma Grouper's stolen kelp seed treasure.
* [[Long Title]]: All the main games. Just look at the top of the page.
Line 136 ⟶ 135:
* [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]]: In ''The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse'' and the ''One-Stop Fun Shop'' [[Canon Discontinuity|storytime coloring book story]] ''A Ghost Story'', {{spoiler|the ghost is actually Boss and Spongehead in disguise.}}
* [[Severely Specialized Store]]: Just Buckles from ''Freddi Fish 4''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In ''Water Worries'', the background of Levels 91-100 has a [[Pirate|piratey]]-looking skeleton holding on to a treasure chest. The name on the treasure chest is partially obscured, but starts with "G. Th..." and ends with "...od." Given [[Lucas ArtsLucasArts|where Humongous's co-founder Ron Gilbert came from]], this is almost certainly a reference to [[Monkey Island|Guybrush Threepwood]].
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: The Shy Octopi from ''Water Worries''.
* [[Simpleton Voice]]: Spongehead the shark has one. In ''Maze Madness'', he has a simpleton laugh.
Line 158 ⟶ 157:
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: ''One-Stop Fun Shop'''s Freddi-o-Matic and Luther-o-Matic.
* [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma]]: ''ABCs Under the Sea'' is [[Spell My Name with an "S"|sometimes called]] '''''ABC's''' Under the Sea''
* [[Wasted Song]]:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjdvLKKBqes The ending theme to the second game.] It's actually three separate songs put together in the same cut scene, and they all change upon a specific point, so a good half of it is unheard of in-game.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ICjqnTtuRc The intro/ending theme for] ''Water Worries'' is cut off 40 seconds in, when the whole thing is about a minute and 3 seconds before looping once.
Line 165 ⟶ 164:
* [[You All Look Familiar]]: The enemies in ''Maze Madness''.
* [[You Meddling Kids]]: {{spoiler|This line comes out of Marty in the fifth game upon entering Coral Cove:}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|Marty}}: Those meddling kids are going to ruin my grand plan.}}
* [[Unnamed Parent]]: [[All There in the Manual|According to]] "[[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|Frankly Freddi]]" on the old Humongous web site, Freddi's parents' names are [[Species Surname|Mr. and Mrs. Fish]].
