Line 86:
* [[Credits Medley]]: Each game's credits has a medley of songs introduced in the game playing in the background.
* [[Critical Hit]]
* [[Cross -Dressing Voices]] - Most of the cast.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - Patapon 3 specializes in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xO3Q3ITC8A& EPIC SOUNDTRACK].
* [[Cruelty Is the Only Option]] - Trust me, to advance to the end of the level, you're gonna have to kill everything in your path. And I mean ''everything.''
Line 121:
* [[Eccentric Mentor]] - Silver Hoshipon.
* [[Everything's Better With Dinosaurs]] - Again, Dodonga and it's variants.
* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]] /EverythingsBetterWithCows /EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys /EverythingsBetterWithPenguins /CuteKitten /MessyPig /PreciousPuppies / [[Frogs and Toads]] /long etc.The list of rarepons in Patapon 2 is pretty large, with examples pertaining to almost every classic animal/creature stereotype. You can even make angels and [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragons!]]
* [[Everything's Better With Spinning]]: The "Don Chaka like it's 1999!" dance. Also, the Hero does a lot of spinning in hero mode if he's a Robopon or a Dekapon.
** [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]: The Uberhero Wooyari's Hero mode has him spin his weapon very quickly to make a ring of fire or ice, which can deflect arrows.
Line 212:
* [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]] - For some strange reason, the enemies and sometimes other things carry treasure chests with them in ''Patapon 3''.
* [[Informed Equipment]] - A rare voluntary variation of it. Since most helms don't look quite well on Uberheroes, they don't show on your character by default. However, you can choose to always show them in the options menu.
* [[Insurmountable Waist -Height Fence]] - A variation of it. Toripons fly high when in Fever mode, often not having to move at all to avoid being hit by enemy units or the [[Boss Battle]] ...but for some reason, high above the ground as they may be, they cannot fly past any obstacle (including the very low wooden fences or enemy units).
* [[Impassable Desert]] - Better get the rain juju.
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]] - In ''Patapon 3'', the weapons that can be carried, get extremely large at the end.
Line 221:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]- With the right combination,your hero can become this.For example, a pyokola dekapon with Rabasarana.
** One of the masks turns your character into one of these by granting both damage and speed, but also gives him a slight case of [[Glass Cannon]].
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]] - From the second game we get Mahopons who are weak at first look until you get the later game spells. Lighting which hits everything 3 times more so if its a large target, blizzard which spams ice, and fireblast which is your own little nuke. Of course the hero chaincasts meteor. That doesn't even cover the support abilities.
* [[Locked Door]] - Every single dungeon in P3.
* [[MacGuffin]] - IT is the main motivation of the Patapons on their journey to Earthend. What IT is, though, is unknown to anyone.
Line 290:
** Kacchidonga in Patapon 2.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] - The Karmen leader, Ormen Karmen, is said to be- well, [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|over seven hundred years old]]. And then Meden says that's not older than she is. Hmm. Many characters in ''Patapon 3'' too.
* [[Red Sky, Take Warning]] - Whenever you come into a level with a red sky... you better be ready to deal with major akumapon/demon ass...
** Averted by {{spoiler|Gorl, the final boss}} of the original ''Patapon''. The sky is just a really bright white. Of course, this doens't really help things when you notice the sickly reddish tones of the landscape, and the fact the sun/moon is ''[[Oh Crap|black]].''
* [[RPG Elements]] - The squad levels up in Patapon 3.
* [[Schizo -Tech]] - In first two ''Patapon'' games, the army uses things like spears, bows, swords, clubs, magic and so on. However, in ''Patapon 3'' cannons and laserguns are added to the mix. In addition, there is a minigame about launching tactical missiles into opponents' side of the area.
** Robopons are described as "the latest in Patapon technology."
* [[Strike Me Down]] - Beetleton,after a long battle he surrendered like a man!
Line 331:
** The second floor of Estate of Earnestness has you doing this. Fail to reach the end in time and you won't obtain the key needed to open the gate and get to the boss.
* [[Title Drop]] - And ''how''! Its TDPM (title drop per minute) is rather high when playing this game.
* [[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]] - {{spoiler|the Hero Unit lost his memory after he destroyed the world egg.}} The {{spoiler|five}} survivors from the disaster that starts the first game can't remember anything before it, either.
* [[Turns Red]] - In Patapon 3, when you reduce a boss's health down to half, they will not have a preparation time before their attacks and instead attack immediately.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]] - Gong {{spoiler|returns from the dead in Patapon 2}}. Exactly how is never stated, but {{spoiler|perhaps defeating Gorl returned the Zigotons to what they once were?}}
Line 350:
** Final bosses Gorl, Dettan Karmen, Arch Pandara. [[Eldritch Abomination]] with a hint of [[Body Horror]].
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]] - You're the god of a tribe of eyeball people, which you must command into battle against other tribes of eyeball people by drumming four sacred, colored drums, so they can reach their ultimate objective; IT, which is located at the end of the Earth and no one knows what it is, but [[Unfortunate Implications|is said to grant eternal happiness.]] Along the way, you deal with masks with great powers that wipe out memories when worn; giant multicolored easter eggs with several [[Sealed Good in A Can]] inside, including a princess and the core of the world; massive [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] with a second head on their stomach; star-shaped people that drop money from their body, demons, and even overweight djinns. Yep, not made on drugs indeed.
* [[When It Rains, It Pours]] - In the first two games. ''Patapon 3'' has a "light" rain too.
* [[When Trees Attack]] - ''Patapon 3'' introduces a tree-like enemy.
* [[Who Dares]] -
Line 368:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: General Gong is later honored to fight the player.
* ~You Shouldn't Know This Already~ - You can't learn new drumbeats until you unlock the relevant "drum" by finding it in the stage it's hidden in.
* [[Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning]] - Cartoonish lightning to accompany the storms is the way to go.
* [[You Bastard]] - The huntable Pekkora in Patapon 2. The tips not only mention that killing the Pekkora without killing it's children gets you a better quality fur, it actually encourages you to do it. Then you actually do it, and are immediately rewarded with [[Tear Jerker|the sight of the little Pekkorako crying]] [[What the Hell, Hero?|over the limp body of their mother in the background.]]
** Patapon 1 is filled with this from the desert stage and on until almost the very end.
