Line 33:
The game features examples of these tropes:
* [[A Taste of Power]]: ''Underground'' starts [[In Medias Res]] with a Bonus Car with nitrous, ''Underground 2'' starts with a borrowed tuned car, ''Most Wanted'' starts with a powerful BMW M3 that is sabotaged and lost in a bet, and ''Carbon'' starts with you thrashing that same BMW.▼
** Defied in ''Hot Pursuit 2k10''. A starter cop mission gives you Lamborghini Reventon, and things ''don't'' get worse from there. Mind you, ''<nowiki>NFS:HP2010</nowiki>'' absolutely ''loves'' this trope, heck, fairly early in the game (whichever side of the law you are on), you're gonna get a preview of a handful of cars you won't be driving for a while. The best examples include the McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda Cinque, Corvette ZR1 and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. All of which can be unlocked after a few hours of playing.▼
*** {{spoiler|And yes, the Veyron and the Konigsegg CCXR are the last two cars you'll unlock}}.▼
* [[A Winner Is You]]: Appears in ''Hot Pursuit 2010'', when the player clears all of the offline missions for one side.▼
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Inverted in ''Porsche Unleashed''. If you bought a used car, repaired it, and sold it, you would make a profit every single time. There was also an infinite supply of used Porsches as well, meaning that [[Game Breaker|you could have all the money you wanted for the price of grinding the menus]].
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Sure that light blue police Gallardo 560-4 in HP2010 is cool and all but that car ''actually exists in Italy as an interceptor unit''.

* [[Suspect Is Hatless]]: In Hot Pursuit 2k10:

* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]
* [[Vanity License Plate]]: 'NFS' on your plate. Supposedly these were going to be customisable for online play, until somebody realised that [[You Suck]] and would almost certainly use swear words...
Line 185 ⟶ 184:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Actually a Wham Race in the first ''Underground''. The race known as "Friends Are Easy To Make, And Easier To Lose" has you racing against {{spoiler|Samantha who's been your guide throughout the first two thirds of the game.}} Later, the other racers will [[What the Hell, Hero?|call you out on this.]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Possible example in ''Hot Pursuit''. Just listen to the Aquatica part of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsfzDAfvJoo Rear Flutterblast #19] (which is about halfway through the video,) especially 5:19 to 5:40. Keep in mind that Aquatica is ''a winding cliff-side road along the ocean at sunset.''
