It's just that their opinions conflicted with ours, so there's bloodshed... Is it ever necessary?"''|Emela, [[Discussed Trope|discussing]] [[What Measure Is a Mook?|What Measure Is A Mook]]}}

=== All chapters provide examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Lampshaded if you talk to Emela while you're in it in Chapter 2. She questions how it's so large when Goznor is only a few tiny houses in size, and how it even works if there was no plumbing. Deugan replies:
{{quote|'''Deugan:''' There was this thing we were taught when we were little called '[[Willing Suspension of Disbelief|Suspension of Disbelief]]'. It's where you, well, just ignore things like that. [[Lampshade Hanging|Comes in very handy in this strange world of ours.]]}}
Line 188 ⟶ 185:
** Miserable Ol' Martin's opinion on the world:
{{quote|"I bet it's worse than ever, since it's surely descended into a [[Star Wars|hive of miserable scum and villainy]], where nothing works right and the evil people rule and all that. It makes me depressed just thinking about it."}}
** If, as implied by one bit of dialogue, the Mysterious Man is actually ''saying'' "[PROFANITY]ing", not actually swearing, it's either a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Discworld]]'s [[
** There's a guy [[Dronejam|hanging out in front of the sewers]] in Chapter 3 who's role-playing as [[Sonny|a zombie who wakes up on a boat with amnesia and a message he can't read, and he meets a blind guy, and...]]
** [[Peter Pan|Pixie Dust doesn't let you fly]]
Line 239 ⟶ 236:
* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: The afterlife works this way, according to the Aeropolis library. Naturally, this also means that [[Ironic Hell]] is in effect.
=== [https://web.archive.org/web/20100727095324/http://www.fighunter.com/gamepages/M/play2.php?c=1&w=900&h=660 Chapter One: A Fallen Star] provides examples of the following tropes: ===▼
▲=== [http://www.fighunter.com/gamepages/M/play2.php?c=1&w=900&h=660 Chapter One: A Fallen Star] provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[BGM Override]]: In the first area, the "Mighty Heroes" track plays over everything else up until the boss fight.
* [[The Bully]]: Mugbert's bestiary and encyclopedia article lists him as such. {{spoiler|And, while examples of his bullying are unseen, beating him up at the end of this chapter is strangely satisfying...}}
Line 258 ⟶ 253:
* [[Twenty Bear Asses]]: You have to collect five lead pipes in a sidequest, which you get from fighting strange rats which seem to have these as their tails.
=== [https://web.archive.org/web/20100727100337/http://www.fighunter.com/gamepages/M/play2.php?c=2&w=900&h=660 Chapter Two: A New Hero] provides examples of the following tropes: ===▼
▲=== [http://www.fighunter.com/gamepages/M/play2.php?c=2&w=900&h=660 Chapter Two: A New Hero] provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Angrish]]: The ''encyclopedia'' lapses into this in the description of the {{spoiler|zombie locksmith}} miniboss.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: A hilarious example of parody within the game would be [[Jerkass|Steele.]] {{spoiler|Until he seemingly dies, that is.}}
Line 291 ⟶ 284:
** ''Nobody even got hurt.''
=== [http://www.kongregate.com/games/Pseudolonewolf/mardek-rpg-chapter-3 Chapter Three: Keystones] provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: {{spoiler|Qualna}}. Actually justified, as he dislikes fighting and is more skilled in diplomacy.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: That purple plot item you handed to the Yalortian monk in Aeropolis? It quite fits the description of {{spoiler|The Violet Crystal, which kicked off the plot by making Rodoph's companions evil.}}
Line 327 ⟶ 318:
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Mentioned within a novel in Xantusia is one Baron von Doomkill, a 'crystal tyrant' who had, in the past, seized control of an elemental crystal and attempted to conquer the world. {{spoiler|He's one of the four souls summoned into Legion.}}
* [[Double Entendre]]:
{{quote|'''Melchior:''' I liked Qualna. He had one eye. I liked that about him because I have one eye too. So does everyone in this chamber. We're like one big happy family! He also solved his problems with words. Words which weren't things like "DIE!!" or "[[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|I have a small peanut and I'm not afraid to use it]]!"
'''Balthazar:''' You have a small ''what''?
'''Melchior:''' I'm a hermaphrodite. }}
* [[Dream Land]]: You get to travel within one. Unfortunately, it's populated by [[Demonic Spiders|Goddamned Pixies and other Ether- and Fig-elemental enemies.]]
