'''This game series provides examples of:'''
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: Micro Maniacs is ''people''. Most people don't even know it's part of the franchise at all.
* [[Backstory]]: ''Micro Maniacs''. (There's a lot of accidents)
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
** Pyra had a lab accident involving combustion.
** As did Vortex, concering black holes.
** Maw-Maw is a [[Mix -and -Match Critters|Mix and Match Critter]].
** Twister was a crazy twit.
** Beatbox was a DJ who wanted to be able to play more effectively with elements of [[The Spook]].
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
** Project X is [[All Your Powers Combined]] with a lot of [[Cloning Blues]].
* [[Different As Night and Day]]: Vortex and Pyra are almost the same, except for the exact details of their accidents.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Anyone with a basic knowledge of the English language would assume that is is indeed about small automobiles/aircraft/combat vehicles/whatever they think are "machines".
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Subverted - while the plot in ''Micro Maniacs'' is just a justification for tiny people running around, it's as developed as a real plot and has a resolution for every character.
* [[Expy]]: V4 of Spider. And, by proxy - Vortex and Bonnie, Pyra and Cherry, Waldo and Jethro, Twister and Emilio, Beatbox and Joel, Mesme and Anne, Maw Maw and Chen, Dynamo and Mike, Roach and Dwayne, Toxin and Walter (Project X is closest to Jade from ''V3'', since she's a slight [[Composite Character]], but being literally ''[[All Your Powers Combined|everyone]]'' he probably doesn't need a basis).
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Level Editor]]: Included in Micro Machines 2 for the PC, and Micro Machines Turbo Tournament 96 for the Genesis
* [[Macro Zone]]: naturally.
* [[Men Are Generic, Women Are Special]]: Inverted for ''Micro Maniacs'' - all the secret characters are men.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Again, ''Micro Maniacs'' - one for every character.
** V4 goes destiny-seeking with a motorbike Dr. Minimizer made from the rest of the crash parts.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
