Line 1: {{work}} [[File:merrygearsolid2.png\|~~frame~~thumb\|350px\|[[Parrot Exposition\|Merry Gear?!]]]] ''[[Merry Gear Solid]]'' is a fan-made freeware game [[Affectionate Parody]] of the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series and [[Christmas Special\|Christmas Specials]] of all kinds, by the creator of ''[[The Underside]]''. There are two games: Line 8 ⟶ 7: * ''[http://www.superfundungeonrun.com/?page_id=256 MerryGearSolid 2: Ghosts of Christmas Past]'', in which you play as Old--er, ''Cold'' Snake during his mission to infiltrate Outer Savin' Mall. * ''[http://www.superfundungeonrun.com/?p=817 Merry Gear Solid 3: The Dead Of Winter]'' has been announced... Or should I say, Merry '''Fear''' Solid? {{tropelist}} * [[Affectionate Parody]]: Very much so. Line 15: Outer Savin' Mall. The "Revolting Omelot" restaurant: {{quote\| '''Recording''': Six buffets. More than enough to fill anything that moves!}} Nearly all of the weapons, including the "Holid Eye" and "Nova Cane." The soundtrack titles, including the remix of "Encounter", "He Sees You When You're Sneaking." * [[Bilingual Bonus]]: The "Bigotes Perfectos" project mentioned in the first game, and the store "Les Enfants Clotildes" in the second. * [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: [[Invoked Trope\|Invoked]] by Otacon to power some of the items. Used fairly disturbingly when explaining why the Missiletoe Launcher (missiles with giant lips on the end) doesn't kill the kids. {{quote\| '''Otacon''': Tell you what. Let's call it a... Missiletoe Launcher!~~<br />~~ '''Snake''': Missiletoe Launcher?!~~<br />~~ '''Otacon''': Yeah! It's just like the Nikita but it fires... hmmm... Let's see... Let's say it fires a missile with a pair of lips on it... A Kissile!~~<br />~~ '''Snake''': Otacon, you can't just--!~~<br />~~ '''Otacon''': That's right! And smooching a kid with the Kissile will overwhelm them... with love! (explains how to use it)~~<br />~~ '''Snake''': Kissiles?! Missiletoe Launcher?! This is ridiculous! Why should I believe a single thing you've said --~~<br />~~ '''Otacon''': Well, because if you don't... ...You'll end up blowing up a lot of child---~~<br />~~ '''Snake''': Alright! Alright! I believe you! }} * [[Continuity Nod]]: Often during codec conversations. Line 38: * [[Mission Control]]: Tiny Tim in the first, Otacon in the second. * [[No Fourth Wall]]: Frequently parodied, and in one scene doubly subverted: {{quote\| '''Otacon''': Snake, do you know what it means to "[[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|break the fourth wall]]?"~~<br~~ /> '''Snake''': I think I remember you telling me about this... It had something to do with [[Subverted Trope\|that wall in Shadow Moses]] that sounded a bit difference when I tapped on it... Sounded a bit more... hollow... That's when I broke the fourth wall... ... With some plastic explosives! I'm pretty sure Revolver Ocelot was just a few rooms further...~~<br~~ /> '''Snake''': ... [[Double Subversion\|But why are we talking about]] [[Metal Gear Solid]] 1?~~<br~~ /> '''Otacon''': What?! That's not it at ALL, Snake! }} * [[Parrot Exposition]]: Used very often, and to the point of [[Lampshade Hanging]] in certain scenes. Line 46: * [[Puzzle Boss]]: Both the milkman and the postman in the second game. {{spoiler\|To defeat the milkman, you have to set your computer clock ahead a couple of weeks, and to defeat the postman, you have to drag a file in the game directory onto the window.}} * [[Retraux]]: The graphics and overall style are roughly SNES-level, except for the voice acting. ** Judging by the trailer for ''Merry Gear Solid 3'', the series has moved up a bit to parody [[PS 1]]-era graphics with ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'''s free camera system. * [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler\|At the end of Merry Gear Solid 2, a mysterious group called the "Ha He Ho Ho Ho" has apparently taken possession of the Merry Gear.}} * [[Shout-Out]]: Numerous. {{quote\| '''Foreign Kid''': [[Deceased Crab\|DeceasedCrabcakes]]...? Let's eat!}} * [[Shocking Swerve]]: {{spoiler\|The Merry Gear is actually a virtual reality machine meant to train the next Santa Claus.}} * [[Speed Run]] Line 61: [[Category:Stealth Based Game]] [[Category:Merry Gear Solid]] [[Category:Video Games of the 2000s]]
