Line 52:
** Same with ''Fever'', but this one is a remake of Night Walk from ''Tengoku'', featuring Marshal as the playable character.
** Notable in that both appear in their respective game's [[Final Exam Boss]], so you'd better have tried them at least once.
* [[Continuity Nod]] / [[Shout -Out]]: All over the place. For example, pay attention to the "Freeze Frame" game in ''Heaven'', and see how many stages/characters from the first game show up<ref>For the record: the white and black ninjas from "Ninja", the white mouse from "Stealth Mice", and the ghosts from "Sneaky Spirits" sometimes show up in photographs, and at one point you can see the Rap Men, the Clappy Trio, the Space Dancers, and the monkeys from Tap Trial watching the race</ref>. There's more in ''Heaven'' than in just that stage, but said stage is practically dripping with them.
** Continued in ''Fever'', there's a lot of them throughout the game, more so to ''Heaven'' but there are a few to ''Tengoku''. Most noticeably, the Cheer Readers will make pictures of characters from previous games, including the leader of the Space Dancers from ''Tengoku'' and DJ Yellow from ''Heaven's'' "DJ School".
*** Also, if you play Munchy Monk in ''Fever'' and [[Freeze Frame Bonus|look carefully on the window while playing]], you'll notice a bunch of characters from ''Heaven'' pass by the train such as the scientists from Love Lab and the Blue Birds.
Line 85:
* [[Fake Longevity]]: This trope comes into play when trying to unlock the bonuses. As the game is played, the player is randomly given a chance to get a perfect on a randomly selected game. If the player fails three times, they must wait for another random chance. Once the player gets gold medals on all 50 games, they have unlimited "perfect" opportunities, however, it still goes to another one after three attempts. Made more annoying by the fact that some games will require you to perform perfectly just to get a Superb, making the Perfect system feel arbitrary at times.
** Presumably done to avert a different form of fake longetivity, which would consist of the player playing the same game hundreds of times in a row, attempting to perfect it. This at least ''makes'' the player try different games.
* [[Fake -Out Fade -Out]]: At the end of Remix 10 in ''Fever''. {{spoiler|Twice.}}
* [[Fan Boy]]: The Monkeys in "Fan Club".
* [[Final Exam Boss]]: Each game has a Remix that consists of all of the games: Remix 6 in the first game, Remix 10 in the second and third.
* [[Foreign Queasine]]: Skirted with in the first game, which features a stage requiring you to pluck the hairs off of [[Gonk|oddly-faced]] beets. Yes, the same ones that [[Continuity Nod|show up later in "Crop Stomp"]]. There's even a [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade hung on]] how strange and unappetizing the beets look in one of the Guitar Lessons in the second game.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Big Rock Finish in ''Heaven'' foreshadows three things: the main riff is one of the duets in Rockers, their first song is a preview of Remix 7, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BA6zNh53hR8#t=71s their last song] is a salsa mix of [[Early -Bird Cameo|the credits music for ''Fever'']].
* [[Funny Afro]]: A lot of characters end up having afros, most notably the Clappy Trio in ''Tengoku''.
* [[Funny Animal]]: As mentioned elsewhere on the page, you not only have ''Dog Ninja'' and the strange chipmunk-man in ''Love Lab'', but there's also ''Tram and Poline'' in the first game, where two acrobatic trampolinists [[Animorphism|turn back and forth into foxes]] as they perform. At least, [[Biological Mashup|if you get]] [[Phlebotinum Breakdown|the timing]] [[Mix -and -Match Critters|right.]]
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Odds are you won't notice them due to focusing on what you're hearing, but quite a few minigames in ''Fever'' have things going on in the background, and some of them can be amusing. In "Double Date", every time a football is kicked up on-time, you can see it fall in the background and get caught. This continues into "Double Date 2", where barnyard animals will catch the football in the air.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: "Seesaw" ends with See and Saw doing an [[Air Guitar]] and then exploding without explanation.
Line 103:
* [[Hair Decorations]]: The statue that you control in "Moai Doo-Wop" is distinguished by the cute bow on it.
* [[Hard Work Montage]]: During "Blue Birds".
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Super Mario Bros|Daisy]] has become a sports reporter, apparently.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Invoked during "Love Lab".
* [[Hundred -Percent Completion]]: Good luck getting a Perfect on every game!
* [[Idol Singer]]: "Fan Club".
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Though the awesome is a little dampened by the games having painfully obvious names, with ''Tengoku'' 's Ninja and ''Heaven'' 's Dog Ninja.
Line 143:
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: The first game's Rap Men and Rap Women mini-games have appropriately-colored backgrounds.
** Cam and Miss Ribbon.
* [[Piss -Take Rap]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Love Rap.]] [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Punny Name]]: Ann Glerr, the fisher from ''Fever'''s "Catch of the Day".
* [[The Power of Love]]: A lot of the games deal with love.
Line 161:
* [[Sequel First]]
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: See [[Captain Obvious]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: ''Heaven'' makes plenty of references back to ''Tengoku'', ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]]'', Nintendo's GBA-slot based [[MP 3]] player; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pDnNRuWM0U&playnext_from=TL&videos=s6U81xcKvws and even the rarely heard of Play-Yan (the guy from the Night Walk stage is the character from the menu navigation for the Play-Yan's interface)].
** ''Fever'' has a Mr. [[Game and Watch]] cameo in "Working Dough", and one of the baseball players in "Exhibition Match" looks remarkably like something [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] had drawn in the '80s.
*** The 2P Endless Game Kung Fu Ball stars [[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Young Cricket]] as Player 1.
