Otomedius: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

 

What follows is adventure. [[Hey Its That Place|Across the world]], [[In Space|across space]], [[Another Dimension|across dimensions]], [[Bullet Hell|involving a lot of bullets]], [[Mecha-Mooks|a lot of enemy robots]], and ''a lot'' [[Everything Is Better With Penguins|of penguins]].

 

Now has its own [[Otomedius (Video Game)/Characters|Character page]] (Under Construction)

* [[Action Girl]] - The entire cast. Emon counts as an Action Guy.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]] - More of the world of Otomedius is revealed through the DLC. Also, the relationship between Earth and Gradius - Esmeralda complains about Earth's military in her intro.

** Of particular note, the uniforms are now more like uniforms, with cuffs sporting the "G" Organization logo on each sleeve.

* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]] - Fan theories abound, but there's no current official explanation for why the characters have no trouble breathing in space, or don't get cold in Antarctica.

* [[Bullet Hell]] - In higher loops, there are enough bullets and enemies on the screen to cause slowdown on an ''Xbox 360''.

** Titi XIV's Scarab Core, on ''any'' difficulty, is this.

'''Tita Nium:''' "Wa, wa, wa..Powa Up!" }}

** Also seen when a character performs her P-Burst or D-Burst attacks.

* [[Child Prodigy]] - The ''Otomedius Excellent'' trailer shows the entire cast in their school uniforms. Colored ribbons are used to differentiate between classes. Poini wears the same colors as Esmeralda and Diol, marking her as an upperclassmen to the rest of the cast despite her apparent age of 10.

** By contrast, Madoka is also a genius, but still a first-year student. Madoka's know-how seems to be limited to engineering while Poini is more versatile.

** In ''Excellent'', Kokoro Belmont and Strarf are DLC.

* [[Fan Service]] - And how. ''Gorgeous'' and ''Excellent'' even include galleries of character art out of the box, which can be expanded even more through gameplay.

** [[The Hero]] - Diol Twee

** [[The Lancer]] - Erul Tron

** [[The Big Guy]] - Emon Five

** [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]] - Tita Nium, Poini Kune, and Esmeralda (The latter two [[Downloadable Content|introduced late]])

** [[Big Bad]] - Dark Force (The Gofer Sisters L.B. and R.B. also fulfill this role)

** [[The Dragon]] - Meta Lium, pilot of Big Core DX

** [[The Brute]] - Ryukotsuki

** [[Dark Chick]] - [[The Spy|T.B. Rika]]

* [[Funbag Airbag]] (Poini ''intentionally'' uses Esmeralda's chest this way in the ''Otomedius Excellent'' trailer. Doubles as a [[Freeze Frame Bonus]]. Esmeralda's reaction is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|predictable]].)

* [[Gainaxing]] - Especially from Anoa and Gesshi, though Diol and Esmeralda do it on occasion.

** ''Excellent's'' Red Hot Mine stage includes a branch filled with laser-refracting crystals, and there's an enemy type which reflects lasers back at the player as their only form of attack.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]] - {{spoiler|Gesshi and Kokoro join the team to [[Put On a Bus|replace Emon]].}}

* [[Schizo Tech]] - The game is set in what appears to be 21st-century, modern Earth. But then you have flying motorbikes with lasers and missiles.

** Somewhat justified, the Riding Vipers were built by "G", an alien organization from a far more advanced civilization.

* [[Sequel First]] - ''Otomedius''/''Otomedius Gorgeous'' remain Japan-Only, while the sequel ''Otomedius Excellent'' is migrating across the pond to America and Europe.

* [[Shout Out]] - Moved to the Character tropes page.

* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]] - The playable characters can initiate special moves termed P-Burst and D-Burst. After [[Calling Your Attacks|Shouting it out]] over their portrait, the character burns a P-Burst charge to clear the screen. A D-Burst, by contrast, is a character-specific super attack with a charge time, and is generally a [[Game Breaker]] when used on bosses.
