Line 47:
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: "I'm gonna get stronger. ...I'm gonna get so strong even Dragos won't stand a chance against me!"
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Porky states at the end of the game that the Masked Man is nothing but a puppet, and there isn't a shred of humanity left in him. This is supported earlier in the game when Phrygia can sense Lucas' heart after he pulls his share of Needles, but not the heart of Claus, even though he's been pulling Needles as well. It isn't until the end of the game that Claus regains his humanity, after his mother's voice pleads with him}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Brute]]: To say the '''[[Exaggerated Trope|least]]''', his Masked Man form is the physically strongest and least verbose of the game's main villains.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cool Hat|Cool Helmet]]/[[Cool Mask]]: Worn by his Masked Man form.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: And how! He goes from a hyperactive, cheery kid to a silent, emotionless Pigmask Army Commander}}.
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cyborg]]: His Masked Man form.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Darth Vader Clone]]: His Masked Man form, '''so''' very much.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: Poor Lucas}}...
* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]: For Chapters 7 and 8}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dying as Yourself]]}}: [[Tear Jerker|It works.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: His Masked Man form is one of these to both himself and Lucas.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]: [[Subverted Trope]] - he's just [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}}.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* {{spoiler|[[Fighting From the Inside]]: His confusion about whether or not he should be fighting Lucas at the end of the game.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Insane Equals Violent]]: His Masked Man form.}}
* [[Keet]]: He even wears bright colors!
* {{spoiler|[[Knight of Cerebus]]: His Masked Man form.}}
* [[Logical Weakness]]: {{spoiler|Doesn't register a heartbeat}}, which renders your combo system useless.
* {{spoiler|[[Long Lost Sibling]]: Claus is the Masked Man}}.
Line 61 ⟶ 69:
* {{spoiler|[[Mismatched Eyes]]: The Masked Man is often depicted with these in fanart, even though it isn't actually in the game. This probably is based off the end of Chapter 7 when he leaps at you to engage in combat. The eye under the lens on his helmet [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|glows red]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]}}: Well, Flint never did despite his greatest efforts. {{spoiler|The Pigmasks though}}...
* {{spoiler|[[Non-Indicative Name]]: His Masked "Man" form is actually a Masked '''Boy''' and mostly wears a helmet rather than an actual mask.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Post Final Boss]]: His Masked Man form.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Lucas, blue, and Claus, red.
Line 67 ⟶ 77:
* {{spoiler|[[That Man Is Dead]]}}: King P ''gloats'' that this is the case.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Lucas and Claus are anagrams of each other.
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Monster]]: His Masked Man form.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Unwilling Roboticisation]]/[[We Can Rebuild Him]]: The Pigmasks found his fallen body and turned him into their cyborg commander}}.
* [[Walking Spoiler]]
== Flint ==
Line 84 ⟶ 96:
* [[Happily Married]]: To Hinawa.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: After the news of Hinawa's Death is relayed to him}}.
*
* '''[[Hurting Hero]]''': He {{spoiler|lost his wife}}, {{spoiler|lost one of his sons}}, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|got less screen time than Salsa]], et cetera...
* [[Irony]]: He is a cowboy who is named after a type of gun (flintlock) but doesn't actually use guns in combat.
* [[Kindhearted Simpleton]]: [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry|Until you make him angry, at least.]]
* [[Made of Iron]]: Special mention goes to when {{spoiler|he takes two PK Love Ω's for Lucas. Although he's knocked out for a bit, he eventually gets right back up as if nothing happened}}.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Flint wouldn't [[Shaped Like Itself|be Flint]] without his signature cowboy hat.
Line 115 ⟶ 128:
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Unlike [[Earthbound|King]], this giant puppy actually stays with Lucas until the end of the game (and is controlled by the player during combat).
* [[Enemy Scan]]: His sniff ability. Some enemies either have no scent or one that Boney can't handle.
* [[Evil-Detecting Dog]]: During the [[Mushroom Samba]] on Tanehineri/Tanetane Island, Boney's the only one that won't follow you into the hot spring. And for good reason...
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Can outright be upgraded to a [[Lightning Bruiser]] if you're skilled with the combo system.
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Basically [[Earthbound|King]] if King '''wasn't''' too lazy to become a permanent party member.
* [[Team Pet]]
{{break}}
Line 130 ⟶ 144:
* [[Badass Beard]]/[[Badass Mustache]]: Yes, he has both.
* [[Badass Normal]]: He doesn't need any PSI to take down Chimeras or otherwise, being a trained Thief.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Particularly in Chapter 2, during which [[Abusive Parents|Wess]] [[Running Gag|calls him a "moron"]] as if the word is going out of style. Later on in the game, however, other characters mostly just ignore (or [[Downplayed Trope|mildly]] insult) him.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: He walks with a limp, and it's noted by several characters. Surprisingly, [[I Know Karate|he incorporates it into his Secret Thief Arts combat style]]. [[Armed Legs|Duster's weapons are shoes, and he kicks enemies in combat.]] He can make preemptive attacks at the start of random encounters, and he can even negate sneak attacks.
* {{spoiler|[[Dude in Distress]]: Is held captive in the siege of Saturn Valley in Chapter 7}}.
Line 146 ⟶ 160:
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: He constantly belittles his son, Duster.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He's in his 60's (or thereabouts), and he's so tough
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Blatant Lies]]: "[[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|I'm not going to stick my butt out or anything, though.]]"
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]:
{{quote|'''Wess:''' I'd like to join the search, but they told me to stay here because I'm old. Seems nobody's aware of just how strong I really am.}}
* [[Domestic Abuse]]: His '''constant''' belittling of Duster.
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]: Especially whenever he is around Duster, whom he '''[[Abusive Parents|constantly]]''' [[Running Gag|criticizes]].
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: When he becomes one of Duster's combat sidekicks during Chapter 2.
* [[Running Gag]]: Him calling Duster a "moron".
== Kumatora ==
Line 157 ⟶ 174:
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: She looks like a sweet little girl but is actually a borderline(?) [[The Ladette|Ladette]].
* [[Bifauxnen]]: A little kid mistakes her for a boy at some point in Chapter 2.
* [[Black Magician Girl]]: Is this in contrast to Lucas's skillset.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]; her [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|actual]] attack power is mostly magic-related.
** [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]:
** [[Standard Status Effects]]: Along with Duster.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: {{spoiler|She's a princess in name only}}.
Line 167 ⟶ 185:
* [[The Ladette]]: Kumatora has this sort of personality and attitude, though she does not exhibit any of the behavior commonly associated with it other than swearing.
* [[Sir Swearsalot|Lady Swears-a-Lot]]: Although what profanity there is in the fan translation isn't very strong, most of it comes courtesy of [[Tomboy Princess|Kumatora]].
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: See the Lucas example above this one.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: With a bit of [[Nightmare Fuel]] mixed in.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Her name means ''bear-tiger''.
* [[Psychic Powers]]
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: {{spoiler|Though she turns out not to really be the princess of anything}}.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Unlike Nintendo's [[Understatement|many]] [[Damsel in Distress|damsels in distress]], this princess is '''not''' afraid to fight. Unless you're planning to '''heavily''' exploit her [[Psychic Powers]], however, [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|she isn't actually very good at doing so]].
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: In her normal attire, a little girl mistakes her for a guy. {{spoiler|In Chapter 4, however, she has to disguise as a waitress to get behind-the-scenes at Club Titiboo in order to convince an [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|amnesiac]] Duster who he really is. Suddenly, many of the men find her attractive. She even tells Lucas to stop changing his expression}}!
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Tomboy]]: She is by far the most masculine-acting out of all of the game's main protagonists (not counting Flint).
* [[Tomboy Princess]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]
Line 202 ⟶ 222:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Literally.
* [[Electric Torture]]: Constantly on the wrong side of it, to the point that it REALLY stops being funny after the first few times.
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: [[Cuteness Proximity|His cuteness]] eventually ends up being one of the things that Fassad uses in order to brainwash the people in Tazmily Village into (nearly) all wanting Happy Boxes and automobiles.
* [[I Have Your Wife]]: The Pigmasks have his girlfriend.
* [[Team Pet]]: Sort of fills the role in a couple places, most notably when teamed up with Kumatora.
Line 212 ⟶ 232:
* [[Arab Oil Sheikh]]: Fassad ''looks'' like one, in any case.
** It's also worth noting that 'Fassad' is an Arabic word that means [[Meaningful Name|'corruption']]. It's also a pun on Façade (no, not the game). And it's not even official.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Him {{spoiler|falling off of the top of Thunder Tower at the end of Chapter 5}} is barely even mentioned by any of the game's other characters after its occurrence, and to say the '''least''', he definitely deserved said fate.
* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]/[[Killed Off for Real]]: After falling from Thunder Tower, he's brought back to life with two musical horns attached. Much later, after the third encounter, he plummets into the sewers and either dies from drowning or disappearing when his Needle is pulled}}.
* [[Badass Mustache]]: He has a remarkably [[Super Mario Bros|Mario]]-esque one that eventually gets {{spoiler|'''[[Blow That Horn|horns]]'''}} added onto itself.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Towards Salsa the monkey.
* {{spoiler|[[Black Sheep]]: Of the Magypsies}}.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
* [[The Corrupter]]: Serves as this to the entire population of Tazmily. And he enjoys his job very much.
* [[Crutch Character]]: In Salsa's chapter, though Fassad only helpes out when he feels like it.
* {{spoiler|[[Cyborg]]: His New and Miracle forms, with the Miracle one barely even being recognizable as him.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death by Irony]]/[[Disney Villain Death]]/[[Karmic Death]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]; his Death By Banana Peel doesn't actually kill him, instead '''nearly''' killing him and resulting in him being reconstructed into his New and Miracle forms.}}
* [[Dirty Coward]]: '''Especially''' when he hides behind Salsa during combat encounters in Chapter 3.
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|At least until the Masked Man shows up}}.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: "Nwehehehehehehehehe!"
** That's one "Nwe" and eight "he"s.
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: He's one of the Magypsies}}.
* '''[[Fat Bastard]]''': Almost as much of one as {{spoiler|Porky}}, in fact.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|After you defeat Miracle Fassad for the last time, he falls into a sewer, too wounded to so much as move. Assuming his immortality keeps him alive, he's trapped down there until his needle is pulled}}.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: He seems like a nice guy at first, but
* [[Gonk]]: {{spoiler|His Miracle form, in which his New form's horn-stache becomes large enough to cover his entire torso.}}
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: A notable one, as it's likely that he'll be the one doing all the damage while Salsa is taking all the hits (and doing his best to disable enemies so he doesn't get hit).
* [[Hate Sink]]: You '''will'''
* [[Hypocrite]]: He repeatedly [[Bad People Abuse Animals|punishes]] Salsa for "misbehaving" while acting like a total dick himself, and he also calls the non-modernized version of Tazmily Village "incredibly un-civilized" while being quite-arguably '''the''' most brutish and obnoxious character in the entire game (and, of course, scarfing Luxury Bananas down like a total [[Animal Motifs|pig]]).
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: In Thunder Tower, he says that Lucas is "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the definition of a moron flying into a flame]]"; once he and Lucas reach the top of said tower, {{spoiler|he accidentally causes his own surprisingly non-permanent [[Disney Villain Death]] by slipping on one of his own banana peels, then gets reconstructed into a cyborg that flies using literal fire that its jetpack generates. Lucas' first battle against said cyborg takes place in a volcano.}}
* [[Irony]]: He has the mustache of [[Super Mario Bros|Mario]] but has the personality of [[Wario Land|Wario]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Fassad corrupts Tazmily village for his own profit while torturing an innocent monkey.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: To Salsa. Over. And over. And over. It won't take you long to feel sorry for the poor monkey.
* [[Make an Example of Them]]: Anyone who doesn't play ball and purchase a high quality Happy Box gets their house torched by lightning.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Fassad's name in the Japanese version was "Yokuba", which comes from {{spoiler|the Japanese word for "greed"}}. His name in the fan translation comes from the Arabic word {{spoiler|for "corruption"}} and coincidentally, {{spoiler|it sounds like the word "façade"}}. Fassad could also be something of a reference to Lier X. Agerate, a minor character from ''EarthBound''.
** {{spoiler|It's a miracle that Fassad is even still alive when Lucas encounters his Miracle form in New Pork City.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Musical Spoiler]]: His horns the second and third time around play a somewhat messy version of the Magypsy's theme whenever he talks}}.
* [[No One Could Have Survived That]]
Line 238 ⟶ 270:
* [[Snake Oil Salesman]]: Wouldn't YOU be happier with a Happy Box?
* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: Fassad may be a chode, but he's an effective teammate (a lot more than Porky or Thomas), and a lot stronger than Salsa. Itoi intentionally wanted to provoke this feeling in ''players themselves''.
* [[Stout Strength]]: Despite how fat he is, he's a very effective ally and {{spoiler|'''two''' of the game's strongest bosses}}.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Luxury Bananas. They even heal him for more than they heal your party members.
* [[Turncoat]]: See [[The Reveal]] above.
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Inverted -- the rest of the Magypsies are all psychic crossdressing guardians for good, except the comparatively conservatively-dressed Locria/Fassad}}.
* [[Villainous Glutton]]: Heavily implied by his [[Fat Bastard|physical]] [[Stout Strength|build]] and his obsession with Luxury Bananas.
* {{spoiler|[[We Can Rebuild Him]]: After he falls of Thunder Tower, the Pigmasks rebuild him into a cyborg who has horns sticking out of his nose}}.
Line 253 ⟶ 287:
* {{spoiler|[[Blinding Bangs]]: Continuing the tradition of being mildly creepy}}.
* [[The Caligula]]
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
* [[Climax Boss]]: And ''how!''
* [[Continuity Nod]]: {{spoiler|1=His playroom is full of small nods to ''EarthBound'', and his first battle theme is an [[Retraux|8-bit throwback]], just like in the previous game. This hints that he was Ness's friend}}.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: More-than-heavily implied by his Fan Room, which is populated by several female prostitutes and {{spoiler|a '''[[Bestiality is Depraved|robotic centaur]]'''}}.
* [[Dragon Ascendant]]: {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]] to Giygas in the previous game until he's taken out, he then eventually makes it to the Nowhere Islands where the events of the game take place, and becomes the [[Big Bad]] there}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Enfante Terrible]]: Mentally}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Old Folks]]: He might still have the mind of a child, but his body looks as if it is about to fall apart from how old it is.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Fat Bastard]]: You have to appreciate his audacity in theming his entire empire and army around his porcine build}}.
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]
* [[For the Evulz]]: {{spoiler|Everything Porky did was because he was bored and wanted a quick laugh}}.
* {{spoiler|[[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: He is perhaps one of '''the''' most nightmarish examples in any [[Nintendo]] franchise in existence, bar none. He went from basically just being a slightly more evil version of [[South Park|Eric Cartman]] in ''[[Earthbound]]'' to being a quite-literal human embodiment of Satan himself in this game.}}
* [[A God Am I]]
* '''[[Hypocrite]]''': Particularly when he {{spoiler|gives humanity a [[The Reason You Suck Speech]] while '''completely''' embodying humanity's problems (and, of course, calls the game's main protagonists "pathetic" while being a living '''corpse''')}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Immortality Hurts]]}}: Shigesato Itoi has confirmed that he will still be alive {{spoiler|5.5 billion years from now}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Insane Equals Violent]]: He is utterly demented to say the '''least''', and he also is downright-'''brutally''' aggressive with his [[Spider Tank]] during Lucas' (and his cohorts') obligatory almost-but-not-quite-final boss battle against him.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: He is a [[Fat Bastard|fat pig]] to say the '''least''', and he also leads an entire army of them.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]
* {{spoiler|[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: He tries to destroy the world just for the adrenaline rush, and that's after he raped and corrupted Nowhere Island}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Evil in a Can|Sealed Evil in a Capsule]]: The Absolutely Safe/Absolute Safety Capsule, in which the user is indeed [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Absolutely Safe]], but can never leave}}.
* [[Self-Disposing Villain]]: See above.
* {{spoiler|[[Spider Tank]]:
* {{spoiler|[[Time Abyss]]: Porky is between 1,000 and 10,000 years old when you finally meet him. Maybe}}...
* [[Time Is Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|The body of an invalid old man, with the mind of a deranged child}}.
* [[Walking Spoiler]]
* {{spoiler|[[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Even after the heat death of the solar system, ''[[Fridge Horror|Porky will still be alive]]''}}.
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]: {{spoiler|What did Porky do?! Porky sprayed something! Porky sucked something}}!
