''[['''Golden Sun: The Abridged Series]]''''' is an [[Abridged Series]] of ''[[Golden Sun]]'' made by Magmabear (now going under the new channel title of [http://www.youtube.com/user/KisukeOboro KisukeOboro]). Like most Abridged Series, ''GS:TAS'' relies on [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] for its humor and lampshading. Similarly, as the series progressed Magmabear recoded the in-game text boxes to suit the series' new dialogue. Since doing so, the series has made use of some particularly creative [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Big LippedNon AlligatorSequitur MomentsScene]]s for its humour.
 
As of Episode 9, the series has officially finished abridging the first game.
Line 10:
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Ivan, with more emphasis on "ambiguous" than "gay". We'd say Alex, but as of Episode Four it's not very "[[Camp Gay|ambiguous]]" anymore.
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: Done with Isaac for those unfamiliar with the games.
* [[Author Avatar]] / [[Take That Me]]: In Episode Eight, where "Isaac"'s [[Jerkass|Jerkassery]]ery is a thinly-veiled cover for Magmabear's lack of contacting his fans after his suspension.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Mia is quite the [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]] when she puts her mind to it.
* [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: Saturos and Menardi.
Line 43:
* [[Evil Mentor]]: Kraden is one. [[Final Fantasy XII|Venat]] may or may not be responsible.
* [[Expy]]: Kraden is one for [[Final Fantasy XII|Dr. Cid]], right down to talking to Venat... who may not even ''be'' there. Isaac and Garet also started out as ones for [[Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged|Yusuke and Kuwabara]], but then they got [[Character Development]].
* [[Follow the Leader]] -> [[Divergent Character Evolution|Divergent Series Evolution]]: Episode One is partially an expy of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged]]''. After that, the series became the torrent of [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator Moment|Big Lipped Alligator MomentsScene]]s, Extreme [[Jerkass|Jerkassery]]ery and [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] that we know today.
* [[Jerkass]]: The whole party has their moments, but most noticeably Isaac and Menardi.
** Mia quite possibly crosses the an event horizon of [[Jerkass|Jerkassery]]ery in Episode Five.
** As of Episode Seven, Garet has officially surpassed Isaac.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Deliberately invoked between Saturos and Alex.
Line 69:
** In the same episode, [[Half Life|head-crabs show up]].
* [[Squee]]: Garet gives a ''massive'' one in Episode Eight.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Saturos and Menardi aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. Every time one of their evil plans screws up, Saturos' immediate response is usually to say "[he's] out of ideas", ''even when they're constantly being fed to him''. Not to mention how Menardi completely ignores the possibility of letting Felix watch their hostages on Mercury Lighthouse. Subverted with Alex, whose [[Dirty Coward|Dirty Cowardice]]ice and general laziness put him in [[Selfish Evil]] territory.
** Ironically, Felix seems to be the most competent of them all. He willingly removes his mask (something they had to coerce him into doing in the original games) and volunteers to watch over Jenna and Kraden while Saturos and Menardi fight Isaac and co.
* [[Take That]]: To ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' and [[YouTube]]'s [[Ruined FOREVER|format changes]] in Episode Seven.
