Part [[Rhythm Game]], part tactical war game, part [[Ear Worm]], pure fun, '''Patapon''' is a game in the [[PlayStation Portable]] that has you as the deity of a tribe of eyeball villagers, the titular Patapons, waging war in their quest to reach Earthend and gaze upon IT.
 
The main gameplay of Patapon has you issuing orders to your army of 'Pons via four drums, each corresponding to a button in your joypad. There are plenty of commands, each with preset drum sequences, that you have to input in time with the rhythm to successfully issue an order (Advance, Attack, Defend, Run Away, among others). When you successfully enter your orders in in time with the rhythm, your army can then enter into a "Fever mode", greatly increasing their effectiveness in battle.

=== Provides examples of: ===
 
* [[A God Is You]] - But of course.
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]] - Akumapons and Bonedeths.
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]:
** The four drums
Line 56:
* [[The Blacksmith]]: Ton Kampon. Oddly, while being a Dekapon means he fits the standard "large and muscular" depiction, he doesn't do anything except work the (admittedly large) hammer; the anvil itself takes care of everything else.
* [[Blow You Away]] - Gong and his tornado powers, as well as Ravenous in Patapon 3.
* [[Boss Battle]] - you encounter [[Sand Worm|Sand Worms]]s, [[Giant Enemy Crab|Giant Enemy Crabs]]s, and around a dozen other behemoths.
* [[Call a Hit Point a Smeerp]] - Call money life force (Ka-Ching).
** Used to justify why it drops from fallen enemies.
Line 349:
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]] - Mild violence, censored bad words (Rarely in Patapon, at least), pole dancing, creepy monsters [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and]] [[RPG Elements]]. Yup, E-rated.
** 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]]s 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.
