Line 14:

You install the wheels below your house, modify the remote to control them, and tie yourself to the chimney with the rope. Then, you proceed to swing around to shake the elves off, supported by your trusty cat, a princess and [[Stuff Blowing Up|lots of explosions]].

Line 21:

* [[An Asskicking Christmas]]

* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: The minigame is even initiated by a voice saying this.

* [[Badass Santa]]: According to ''[[~~Hyper Princess Pitch (Video Game)|~~Hyper Princess Pitch]]'' at least, he is [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|also a mecha]].

* [[Badass Santa]]: According to ''[[Hyper Princess Pitch]]'' at least, he is [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|also a mecha]].

* [[Building Swing]]: Sort of, without the detaching and reattaching part. You properly do this in the (unfinished) [[Spiritual Sequel]] ''Bear Miner'', but with a [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|chain-axe]], and a bear instead of a house.

* [[Button Mashing]]: You can shake elves off by rapidly pressing Left and Right. This was much easier in the Game Maker version, arguably even an easier way of dealing with them than hitting them with your gnome.

Line 29:

* [[Endless Game]]

* [[Excuse Plot]]: [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Princesses]]: Princess Pitch bakes airstrikes for you and collects gold bricks in a minigame.

* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Princess Pitch bakes airstrikes for you and collects gold bricks in a minigame.

* [[Grievous Harm ~~With~~ a Body]]: You can knock down sleighs with elves, or knock sleighs ([[Made of Explodium|which then explode]]) into hordes of elves. It's the main way to achieve hit combos, which in turn give you Whopees.

* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: You can knock down sleighs with elves, or knock sleighs ([[Made of Explodium|which then explode]]) into hordes of elves. It's the main way to achieve hit combos, which in turn give you Whopees.

* [[The Grinch]]: The Garden Gnome. ''Why'' he hates Christmas is unclear, but it's apparently a pretty harsh hatred.

* [[Helpful Mook]]: Sparkling sleighs still act like other sleighs and try to land on your roof, but they also drop blue bricks on defeat, which cause a huge explosion and split into golden bricks.

Line 54:

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The game was initially made in [[Game Maker]] and released on [[Daniel Remar]]'s website. It was later remade as a Flash version, with re-balanced gameplay (elves are easier to hit, but harder to shake off) and some new extras.

* [[Variable-Length Chain]]: The rope holding the garden gnome.

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]

* [[Widget Series|Weird Swedish Thing]]: The premise: You're a garden gnome tied to a building on wheels, and you're trying to hold off elves from dropping Christmas presents into the chimney (because gnomes hate holidays) by swinging into them and dropping bricks on them, in addition to the occasional air strike. And the bricks [[Made of Explodium|explode]]. Oh, and this game was made by [[Daniel Remar]] (of ''[[~~Iji (Video Game)|~~Iji]]'' and ''[[Hero Core]]'' fame).
