Line 6:
=== The ''Shikigami'' series uses the following tropes: ===
* [[Badass Baritone]]: Munchausen. Holy ''crap'', '''Munchausen!!'''.
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Nigi and Nagino.
* [[Battle Butler]]: Munchausen.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do NOT call [[Hot Witch|Fumiko]] an "old maid".
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Batu's cross-shaped spear.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The second game is filled with very odd examples of Engrish.
* [[Bullet Hell]]
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Reika (''SnSShikigami no Shiro 3'') originally comes from an old Laserdisc game known as ''Time Gal''.
** Nigi Gorgeous Blue was originally from ''Gunparade March''.
* [[Charged Attack]]: Batu's Shikigami attacks.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Reika is certainly... "[[Understatement|out there]]".
* [[Comforting the Widow]]: Kohtaro had a woman with whom he made a [[Childhood Marriage Promise]], but who is now hospitalized. Sayo falls in love with Kohtaro. In the third game, [[Woman Scorned|that ex]] becomes the [[Big Bad]]. {{spoiler|Or seemingly so, until you realize that all the bosses in the third game are illusions and not the real people.}}.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: The "''Mobile Light Force 2"'' US cover of the first game features a trio of gunslinging ''[[Charlie's Angels]]'' lookalikes that appear absolutely nowhere in the game. [[They Just Didn't Care|It's also the exact same cover as the first ''Mobile Light Force'' game]] (which is actually ''[[Gunbird]]''.; Itit's all rather confusing).)
* [[Cute Ghost Girl]]: Sayo.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: What {{spoiler|"Tsukiko" (actually an illusion)}} turns out to be in ''[[SnShikigami no S]]Shiro III''.
* [[Fedora of Asskicking]]: Gennojo wears one.
* [[Flanderization]]: In-Universe. Kohtaro's story mode in ''Shikigami Nono Shiro III'' involves the uneasy grounds of Kohtaro's and Sayo's partnership, with the underlying tension of undisclosed feelings; Sayo being a [[Tsundere]] (while also feeling guilty about this) with Kohtaro constaly apologizing. Come Dramatic Change Mode, many story modes where Kohtaro is one of the two selected characters involve this dynamic in a rather one-dimensional way that varies from scenario to scenario (ie,i.e. Sayo is turned into a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] in some, in others, Kohtaro is almost completely [[Oblivious to Love]], etc).
* [[Gameplay Grading]]
* [[Head Pet]]: Nagino's bunny.
Line 29:
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Munchausen. When you can ''see'' his eyes, RUN.
{{quote|'''[[Battle Butler|Munchausen]]''': "''I shall educate you. Prepare yourself.''"}}
* [[McNinja]]: Roger.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Yukari, the fourth boss of the second game and first boss of the third.
** Reika too, but only because she's been displaced from her game of origin. [[Wrong Genre Savvy|She still thinks she's in an FMV game]].
Line 39:
* [[Physical God]]: Gennojo and Kagachi.
* [[Pinball Scoring]]
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Shikou (second boss, third game) shoots arrows that temporarily seal normal fire<ref>althoughAlthough Shikigami attacks can still be used.</ref> during his second attack phase.
* [[Psychic Powers]]
* [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]]: From the third game:
{{quote|'''Yukari:''' Yukari Horiguchi! Yu-ka-ri!}}
* [[Rank Inflation]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Both Fumiko and Sayo resemble Marisa and Reimu of ''[[Touhou]]''.
* [[Smart Bomb]]: Nearly every character has this in some form. Reika's allows her to [[Time Stands Still|momentarily freeze time]].
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Gennojo.
* [[Space Is an Ocean]]: [[Department of Redundancy Department|ofOf space]].
* [[The Stoic]]: Emilio.
* [[Stun Guns]]: Shikou, the second boss of ''Shikigami III'', uses arrows that prevent your character from firing if they connect.
* [[Time Police]]: Reika. Again, a callback to her ''[[Time Gal]]'' roots.
* [[Turns Red]]: Mini-bosses and stage bosses alike have at least three attack patterns, depending on how much HP they have remaining.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Nagino.
* [[The Vamp]]: Fumiko. According to the manual, she's said to be as evil, if not more so, than the game's [[Big Bad]].
