Line 41:
** A 24-ton weight drops on the Frankensteins father when large amounts of nuisance puyo fall on his field.
* [[Arc Number]]: 24, a Japanese ''goroawase'' pun on "Puyo". ''Puyo Pop Fever'' was even released on the 24th of a month for each platform.
* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|Aren't You Going To Defeat Me?]]: Asks {{spoiler|Strange Klug when Raffine and Sig take two of the items he had and leave him in Klug's body.}}
* [[Area 51]]: Is visited in Puyo Puyo 7.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Arle and Carbuncle.
** Almost everyone in Fever just because of the art style.
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]] and [[Bad Powers, Bad People|Bad People]]: Despite being half-demon, Sig doesn't care about it and seems to care only about his friends and bugs. It should be noted that, besides Akuma, most demons and monsters before are protrayed as [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]] or being [[Affably Evil]], as well as Sig's remains being part of {{spoiler|the demon within's Klug's book's orignal body. There's an unknown, but possibly good, reason that the demon was sealed away in the first place, something nobody even did to any previous demon. When the demon posses Klug, he intends to wound or likely ''kill'' Sig to get his remains.}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Rulue shows off hers in ~n.
* [[Battle Butler]]: Butler for The Prince of the Oceans. Execpt, he doesn't really fight.
Line 95:
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Popoi.
* [[Circus of Fear]]: Minus the fear. Except the [[Big Bad]] from ~n wants to replace Arle from reality.
* [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience|Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Puyo, natch.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: YMMV on Draco, Harpy, Seriri, the Banshee Trio, and so on.
* [[Cute Witch]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Witch]].
Line 103:
* [[Dem Bones]]: Oshare Bones and Skele-T.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Well, what did you ''think'' was going to happen when you carry around a possessed book? Some people just have to learn the hard way.
** ...and with Strange Klug filling in for Klug's adult transformation in PP7, [[What an Idiot!|I guess he never learned]].
** It also seems like Ekoro managed to take over Arle and decided Ringo a good substitute.
** And ''waaaaaay'' back before all of this, we had {{spoiler|Satan being possessed by Doppelganger Arle.}}
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Raffine in Deka mode.
* [[Difficulty Spike]]: Frustratingly common in many of the installments. The first arcade game is already blisteringly fast by the fourth level. The [[Dolled -Up Installment|dolled up installments]] [[Difficulty By Region|tone it down]] somewhat, though.
** HaraHara courses aren't called "hard" for nothing.
* [[Dolled -Up Installment]]: ''[[Kirby]]'s Avalanche'', ''[[Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine]]'' and...''[[The Lion King|Timon and Pumbaa's]] Bug Drop''?
* [[Doppelganger]]: Doppelganger Arle from ~n as well as Doppelganger Schezo from Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon.
* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Harpy, oh so much.
Line 118:
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Just add a hammer!}}
* [[Empathy Pet]]: Popoi, when Ms. Accord has him.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: The animations. Right now, the sprites have animated limbs.
** And with 20th out, we have fully animated sprites!
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Well, Strange Klug doesn't have a costume, per say; it's just Klug's outfit dyed red with a cape.
Line 139:
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: Oshare has one intact eye, while his other eye is simply an eye socket featuring [[Glowing Eyelights of Un Death]].
** Then there's Sasaki, Arle, Strange Klug, recently Satan, and by an extent, Sig.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Arle and Amitie use these three elements as their major spells(Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder Bolt). Rider uses lightning for one of her spells, and Schezo uses lightning for almost all of his spells.
** [[Abnormal Ammo|Abnormal Spells]]: However, Klug and Popoi use the names of objects in the sky, Ms Accord uses music notes and writes on her chalkboard for animations, and Raffine, Sig, and Rulue use [[I Know Kung Fu|martial arts]] with magic. And this is just to name a few.
* [[For the Evulz]] Ekoro wants to bury <s>the world</s> ''[[Omnicidal Maniac|all existence]]'' under Puyo. How fun that must be...
* [[Four Is Death]]: When four puyo of the same color connect they explode. Also means death for your opponent, since he/she is about to get hit with nuisance puyo!
** [[The End of the World As We Know It|Puyo Puyo 7 was the fourth game in the Fever Reboot.]] You don't need to get any farther than that.
* [[Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind]]: Akuma seems mean, but he helps Sig(sorta) in Fever 2. Sig himself is half-demon, but doesn't harm anyone.
* [[Frogs and Toads]]: Nohoho and Dongurigaeru are frogs.
* [[Game Mod]]: Making your own characters is popular. Someone even drew [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] ''in the Puyo art style''.
Line 157:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Every now and then...
* [[Gratuitous English]]: A good amount of the [[Calling Your Attacks|called attacks]] use this. Most even manage to get out close-to-correct pronounciations.
** Incubus lives for this and is known for his infamous [[Precision F -Strike|"Oh, Shit!"]] in SUN.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: For someone named Satan, he usually has different plans than being evil. If he ''is'' doing something "evil", the choice he has in mind [[Poke the Poodle|isn't]].
** Story-wise: The most Satan can do is creep you out. Strange Klug just seems to monolog. {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Gameplay wise, they're very hard.]]}}
Line 174:
* [[Instant Runes]]: Some attacks, but then again, these kids use magic.
* [[Inventory Management Puzzle]]: In Fever 2, you can carry up to [[Arc Words|24 items]]. Selecting chat or beating a HaraHara Course<ref>Or talking to Oshare at one point, or beating Raffine's WakuWaku Course.</ref> rewards you with an item, along side using the shop. [[But Thou Must|You]] ''[[But Thou Must|also]]'' [[But Thou Must|must take the item if you talk to them]], and Oshare won't give you items to replace it. So, in turn, you have to waste items in the courses... ''[[But Thou Must|which you can't leave]]'' '''either''' [[Failure Is the Only Option|unless you lose]] or beat the course.
* [[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context]]: Oh, boy... SUN, most of the plots, the reasons to fight, and Klug's... [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"magic magazine".]]
{{quote| '''Amitie:''' I never knew that you read this kind of book. ''(blushes)'' Gee...<br />
'''Klug:''' What, no! That's the ''wrong page''! }}
Line 208:
** By an extent, Arle too.
* [[Match Three Game|"Match Four" Game]]
* [[May -December Romance]]: Lemres (older) and Feli (younger), except Lemres doesn't reciprocate.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Several of the cast. For example, Amitie is French for "friend", and Amitie is a friendly character in the fever series.
* [[Mini Game]]: Not in the series proper, but it is one in ''[[Sega Superstars]]'' and ''Sega Superstars Tennis''.
Line 214:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Sig has one red eye and one blue eye. This is due to his demon side though.
** If it counts, Oshare as well. His [[The Dead Have Eyes|right eye]] has a pink pupil with yellow sclera, while his left eye is merely an [[Glowing Eyelights of Un Death|eye socket with a yellow pupil]].
* [[Million -to -One Chance]]: Klug discovers how to unlock the power of his book {{spoiler|to release the demon inside, which posseses him}}. Conviently, ''during that same day'', Lemres, Klug's hero, is delivering ''the exact items needed to unlock the book'' to Ms Accord '''''[[Too Dumb to Live|with no protection]]''''' on these magical items, and you can see where this goes afterwards.
** [[Convenient Questing]]: All three playable characters were hunting for the items for their own uses that Lemres were delivering, which were, of course, in '''[[Big Bad|Strange Klug's]] hands'''; taking them away depowered him.
* [[Narcissist]]: Hohow Bird, maybe Raffine.
** Incubus, too.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Klug; they make him creepier though when they flash.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In 20th Anniversary, Ringo basically tells an amnesiac Ekoro that people don't enjoy pranks, but really enjoy Puyo matches instead. {{spoiler|Bad idea. Ekoro soon gets bored with making people happy through Puyo matches one person at a time and tries to find a way to make [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|everyone happy on a large scale,]] eventually going as far as to try to possess Satan himself.}}
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Earlier games. The original [[Puyo Puyo]], which most know as ''Mean Bean Machine'' or ''Kirby's Avalanche'', didn't have the offset rule.
* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]: Raffine and Rulue have very impressive examples when they get high chain combos.
** Oshare has his own that pops up sometimes.
* [[No Export for You]]: Every game except the [[Dolled -Up Installment|Dolled Up Installments]], ''Puyo Pop'' on the GBA and ''[[Puyo Puyo]] Fever''.
** The Wii has some early games for download; untranslated, but downloadable.
* [[No Name Given]]: The demon in Klug's book, despite becoming an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] and having subtle history within Fever 2. We don't even know what he originally looked like!
* [[Not Himself]]: {{spoiler|Satan in PP~n}}, Klug in Fever 2, and Arle in Puyo Puyo 7
* [[Two -Teacher School|One Teacher School]]: In the original series, there was a preschool, but the rule seem to have stuck. In Fever, Accord's the only teacher to ever show up.
* [[Odango]]: Rider's hair style
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]
Line 236:
* [[Pillar of Light]]: The strongest final chain finisher for Amitie and Arle in Puyo Pop Fever 1 & 2.
* [[Pride Before a Fall]]: Klug looks unhappy about being sealed in a book. When he's released, he brushes it off like nothing happened. {{spoiler|He does learn from this though; he ends up giving the final item used to break the book's seal to Amitie rather than keep it.}}
* [[Pun -Based Title]]: The "Tsu" in [[Puyo Puyo]] Tsu means "master" and is also the number "two" spoken with a Japanese accent. Likewise, the "SUN" in [[Puyo Puyo]] Sun means "three" and also references the new Sun Puyo. Finally, "yon" means "four", hence, Puyo Puyo~n.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Strange Klug's infamous for this.
** Satan and Sig subvert this, though. Satan WAS threatening, but as mellowed out. Sig's unemotioinal, even as Black Sig, and takes everything in calmly and in stride.
Line 260:
* [[Soul Jar]]: Klug carries around a possessed book. Yes, [[Too Dumb to Live|bad things happen as a result]].
** And he continues to carry it, now with knowledge it ''IS'' possessed. As a result, 7 and 20th had appearances by Strange Klug as bonuses; '''[[Foreshadowing|Future]]''' [[Oh Crap|Klug]] in the Deka Fever for 7 and as an unlockable character with his own voice clips in 20th.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: There are fans who call Sig "Shigu".
* [[Spin -Off]]: [[Puyo Puyo]] is a Spinoff of ''Madou Monogatari''.
** ''Puyo Puyo'' itself has had a list of spinoffs as extensive, if not moreso, than the number of entries in its own series.
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Satan always comes up with some insane plan to get Arle to go out with him. Ever tried just walking up to her and asking, dude?
** Played creepily straight in 7. He randomly appears at one point, entering with something along the lines of, "Did I hear my Arle just now?"
* [[Summoning Artifact|Summoning Artifacts]] [[Artifact of Doom|of Doom]]: The Bookmark Of The Sun, the Lamp of the Stars, and the Rock of the Moon{{spoiler|[[Aerith and Bob|AKA some moisturizing cream.]]}} They're used to unseal Klug's book. See "[[Million -to -One Chance]]" above.
* [[Super Senses]]: Ringo apparently has 20/4 vision.
{{quote| Ringo: "I can sight the Andromeda Galaxy in the daytime."}}
Line 271:
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Every time poor Schezo tries to say something in the newer games, he blurts out "[[Catch Phrase|Be my desire!]]", and has to clarify just ''what'' he desires. (hint: it's never sex)
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Unusual Ekoro's eyes are teal with ''pink heart pupils''.
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]: Entering [[Limit Break|Fever/Henshin]] mode changes the music to a more up-beat song.
* [[Think Nothing of It]]: ...and Amitie realizes that she just lost out on a reward for finding the magic cane.
* [[Too Funny to Be Evil]]: Yes, we're never going to let SUN go, Satan.
Line 279:
* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: Doppelganger Arle to a T.
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Satan in his Hawaiian shirt trying to have fun and get a good tan by enlarging the sun in PP Sun. Just watch the intro [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM5U_hcxS7M here]...
** Ekoro's story in Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, which involves him doing silly things such as trying to pull Draco's tail. {{spoiler|Justified since he has amnesia, and he soon goes back to his destructive ways as a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] out to try to make everyone happy by fulfilling their deepest desires. He gets his memory back at the end though.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Lemres? ''Why'' did you give Klug a book with a demon inside, knowing he would find a way to exploit it? ''Why'' did you get lost in the desert when you have a flying broom? '''''Why''''' did you wish for the sea to turn into jelly!?
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Schezo
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Strange Klug looks rather suave. Then again, he only added a cape and changed the glasses.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Harpy and Satan.
