{{quote|''When the moon is full and trees are bare. Walk though the cemetery if you dare. Where skeletons rot and corpses fester. Locate the tomb with the skull of a jester. Feed him a token all shiny and new. It is then that [[Carn Evil]] will return for '''YOU!'''|'''The game's opening narration.'''}}
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Black Comedy]]: Most prevalent in the Rickety Town level, but pretty much everywhere.
** An example. In the food court area of Rickety Town, you can dunk one of the Skeleteens into a deep fryer.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: The arcade cabinet will assure you that "That isn't a zombie/it's just a silly clown
* [[Body Horror]]: Up to ''[[Splatterhouse]]'' levels in the Freak Show, but you really should've guessed that.
* [[Boss Banter]]: Krampus.
* [[Bowdlerization]]: "Junior", the boss of the Freak Show, was changed to a giant stuffed bear named "[[Punny Name|Deaddy]]".
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Enemy Mime]]: Zombie mimes show up in the Big Top level. They're harmless.
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: Boss of the Freak Show level. The developers, considering that even by this game's standards some arcade owners would find this too disturbing, have an option to replace him with a teddy bear.
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Umlaut at the start of every
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: On occasion, you are ''forced'' to take a hit.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: As expected,
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Evil Marie. The dissonance that results when this is coupled with her half-blown-off face is [[Black Comedy|both hilarious and disturbing
* [[Giant Spider]]: Here and there in the Haunted House level.
* [[Go for the Eye]]: One of the mini-bosses in the Freak Show level, appropriately dubbed Eyeclops. He has one eye in each of his two heads, three in his chest, and one in each arm.
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Hand Cannon]]: Hambone, the midboss of the Haunted House level, has a minigun attached to his arm.
** He shows up twice during this level, swapping the minigun for a skull launcher on his second appearance.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: The mimes in the Big Top
* [[Haunted House]]: One of the
* [[Homage]]: The miniboss Hambone is a throwback to slasher films. {{spoiler|His reappearance later in the level as "Hambone the Revenge" is a throwback to their many sequels
* [[Hostage Spirit Link]]: Every so often, a girl will pop up and you have to avoid shooting her. Shooting her anyway costs you some of your life.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: The eventual fate of Evil Marie, provided you haven't run out of quarters yet.
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Jerkass]]: Umlaut.
* [[Jump Scare]]: Pretty omnipresent, albeit this sort of thing is to be expected in a rail shooter.
* [[Late to the Punchline]]: Umlaut's introduction to the Freak Show level insinuates that
* [[Light Gun Game]]
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: All over the damn place.
** And ludicrous indeed. Skeletons bleed. SKELETONS!
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: The song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3gI1Uuk7gM "Big Bunyan Ride"] is a jaunty logging tune about your imminent death.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
* [[Monster Clown]]: The last
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: ''Professor'' von Tökkentäkker? What the heck could he teach?!
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: You're the one who puts in the token and starts the whole mess.
* [[Perpetual Expression]]: The "Smilin' Bob" enemy in the Rickety Town level (near the go-karts). He ''always'' smiles. '''ALWAYS'''.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: One of your potential upgrades is a flame thrower.
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: Umlaut, before every
* [[Say My Name]]: Half of the bosses announce their own name when they show up.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: A happy, wonderful Christmas jingle is played during the Slay Ride portion of Rickety Town.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: The Smilin' Bob and Flapjack enemies never stop smiling, even if they've barely got a face left to smile with.
* [[Subsystem Damage]]: Most enemies have no HP count and go down when you blow off something important.
** Interestingly, this does not necessarily mean [[Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain]]
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The player character, who not only decides to tempt fate by bringing the carnival up in the first place, but decides to ''do it again'' after you win.
* [[Wasn't That Fun?]]: [[Nintendo Hard|If you have enough quarters to beat the game]], the epilogue will have Jacob put the token in again while [[Oh, No, Not Again|Lisa screams for him to stop]].
