Patapon: Difference between revisions

* [[Anti-Magic]] - Slogturtle has this ability.

* [[Anyone You Know]] - "Aid us, Oh Mighty Troper!"

* [[A Taste of Power]] - When the player gets another unit type in Patapon 1 and 2, the first unit they get of that type is incredibly overpowered. It leaves when the stage is finished.

* [[Back From the Brink]] - In all three games.

* [[Blow You Away]] - Gong and his tornado powers, as well as Ravenous in Patapon 3.

* [[Boss Battle]] - you encounter [[Sand Worm|Sand Worms]], [[Giant Enemy Crab|Giant Enemy Crabs]], and around a dozen other behemoths.

** Used to justify why it drops from fallen enemies.

** Call a dragon a Dodonga. ''Patapon 3'' justifies calling them dodongas as less cartoonish real dragons are present in that game.

* [[Catching Some Zs]] - Patapons under sleep effect.

* [[Cats Are Mean]] - The Myamsar class in Patapon 3 specializes in high critical ratio along with nasty status effects such as poison. Leveling up their class skills makes them poison their attacker, have a 8x damage bonus against shield-based classes (which they are made to counter), and upon death, explode, sending poison everywhere. Their Set skills include things such as ''Cornered Rat'' which quadruples their attack when HP drops below 25% and ''Peerless Cat'' (in contraposition to other classes's ''Fearless <animal>'' abilities), which inflicts instant death when critting a poisoned enemy. And their Hero Mode, Sic'Em Shadow, makes them pounce on the closest enemy while releasing an angry meow, pin the foe to the ground rendering him/her/it vulnerable (and cutting their own hero mode), and start stabbing them. Repeatedly. ''And they don't. Let. Go.'' Playing this in VS is bound to get you called a dick.

* [[Cartoon Conductor]]: Shuraba Yapon, who doesn't even ''have'' an orchestra.

* [[Charged Attack]] - the Pon Pon Chaka Chaka Song activates this. Also, some bosses telegraph their attacks this way.

* [[The Chosen One]] - Patapon Hero.

** The plot itself is [[Darker and Edgier]], including the deaths of several important characters, and the fact the world is in it's current [[Crapsack World]] status due to the Patapons's obsession with IT leading them to rediscover what should better have been left forgotten.

*** Ironically this brings it back to Patapon 1's level after Patapon 2's [[Lighter and Softer]] storyline. The humorous dialogue part still remains,though.

** What each and every one of the Dark Heroes did to achieve that status. However, it's more like trickery on their respective Archfiend's part than actual deals, though.

* [[Death Is Cheap]] - Patapon warriors (as long as they don't get eaten) and especially Patapon Hero.

* [[Easy Logistics]] - For some reason, Toripons, Yumipons and Yaripons have infinite ammo. No Patapon of your army ever seems to get tired in the battlefield,even if you never see them eat, and in fact you never see them leave the obelisk.

* [[Eccentric Mentor]] - Silver Hoshipon.

* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]] /EverythingsBetterWithCows /EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys /EverythingsBetterWithPenguins /CuteKitten /MessyPig /PreciousPuppies / [[Frogs and Toads]] /long etc.The list of rarepons in Patapon 2 is pretty large, with examples pertaining to almost every classic animal/creature stereotype. You can even make angels and [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragons!]]

** [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]: The Uberhero Wooyari's Hero mode has him spin his weapon very quickly to make a ring of fire or ice, which can deflect arrows.

* [[Evil Counterpart]] - ''Patapon 2'' 's Dark One is an [[Evil Knockoff]] of your own hero, down to changing classes when needed.

** ''Patapon 3'' turns this [[Up to Eleven]] with a whooping total of '''7''' Dark Heroes, all evil counterparts to your own Uberhero (as well as each opposing one of the already stablished Uberhero classes).

** Black Hoshipon is an [[Evil Twin]] of the normal Hoshipon introduced in the first game. An usual gag is Hoshipon "confusing her/him with an imposter" whenever they meet.

{{quote| '''Ragewolf:''' Erk! Curses!}}

* [[Extra Eyes]] - Gate Ghoul Baban in ''Patapon 1'' has several eyes. Its upgraded form Bababan from ''Patapon 2'' has dozens of small eyes and a few large ones.

** Present in Patapon 3. Naughtyfins falls in love with your Hero, and at times she'll defend him or help him out without either him or the other Dark Heroes looking, even if still technically enemies. She often flirts with him during cutscenes. {{spoiler|Although, she's really the princess you rescued in Patapon 2, so she's not necessarily a foe. Later in the game, you can turn her back to normal by hugging her. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Talk about]] [[Defrosting the Ice Queen]]}}

* [[Fog of Doom]] - Presented both as normal fog and as dust storm, it prevents you from seeing any enemies coming at you until they're right at your feet. Can be dissipated through rain, though you can also counter it by being [[Genre Savvy]] enough to check the expression of your long-range units...however, this still won't allow you too see exactly ''what'' is coming to get you, so [[Oh Crap]] moments may ensue.

* [[Forging Scene]]: Ton Kampon and Fwoosh Famooze's minigame.

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] - Some of the bosses shoot these from their mouths. In ''Patapon 3'', players can get the lasergun too.

* [[Random Event]] - Patapon 3. Sometimes (very scarcely) a special boss will appear, a very strong one. Chances are you are going to need multiplayer help to take them down if you don't want to be pummeled, though you may attempt them solo if you grinded enough. You'll be notified when this happens by Sukopon.

** Kacchidonga in Patapon 2.

* [[Red Sky, Take Warning]] - Whenever you come into a level with a red sky... you better be ready to deal with major akumapon/demon ass...

** Averted by {{spoiler|Gorl, the final boss}} of the original ''Patapon''. The sky is just a really bright white. Of course, this doens't really help things when you notice the sickly reddish tones of the landscape, and the fact the sun/moon is ''[[Oh Crap|black]].''

** Robopons are described as "the latest in Patapon technology."

* [[Strike Me Down]] - Beetleton,after a long battle he surrendered like a man!

* [[Sequel Hook]]

* [[Seven Deadly Sins]] - Each of the 7 dark heroes and their Archfiends in ''Patapon 3'' represents one sin.

* [[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]].

* [[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.

{{quote| '''Ragewolf:''' You rotten little spherical scoundrels! How dare you!}}

** Several enemies through the whole game series as well.
