''The Simpsons Game'' is a platformer based on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''. It's also an [[Affectionate Parody]] of loads and loads of other games, and [[Lampshading|lampshades]] just about every [[Trope]] they can think to lampshade.
Line 10:
During the game, Bart finds the manual to ''The Simpsons Game'', from which the [[Badass Family|family]] discovers their superpowers. Soon afterwards, there is an [[Alien Invasion]]. After that, the family is sucked into their computer and starts playing through levels based on other [[Video Game|video games]]. Finally, they attack the fortress of the creator, Matt Groening, and ultimately {{spoiler|make a stairway to heaven in order to battle [[William Shakespeare]], [[Benjamin Franklin]], and [[God]]}}.
Notable that it came out a few months after ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' was released, although they aren't connected beyond both being ''[[The Simpsons]] [Media]''. Also gets points for having both the writers and the original voice cast brought on to help with its development.

* [[Acting Unnatural]]:

'''Bart:''' This must be the level boss for this part of the game.
'''Homer:''' The boss! Quick, act natural. ''[puts on business glasses and [[Clipboard of Authority|pretends to write on a clipboard]]]'' }}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of just about everything.
* [[Alien Invasion]]

* [[Badass Family]]

Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys]]: The French villagers in [[Medal of Honor|Medal Of Homer]] play this trope straight to a [[Your Mileage May Vary|frankly]] [[Planet of Hats|absurd]] [[Dude, Not Funny|degree]]. Young Abraham Simpson even [[Exact Words|calls the French like this]] in the same segment.
** Just to be clear about this, the first mission in the level is a [[Fetch Quest]] to remove all the white flags from a French city.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: One of the collectibles in the game is "[[Video Game]] Cliché Moments", as pointed out by [[Meta Guy|Comic Book Guy]].
* [[Crossover]]: {{spoiler|Near the end of the game, [[The Simpsons]] fight the characters from ''[[Futurama]]''}}
** Namely, {{spoiler|Bender and Dr. Zoidberg clones in the Groening mansion, where they're summoned by none other than the man himself.}}
Line 53:
* [[Exploding Barrels]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|"Frustrating and AND hackneyed"]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Bart has the easiest reload rate for his shots and can crank up charged attacks in quick succession that way, but beyond that his powers aren't as adept in fighting as the others.
* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]: Each character has a set of items to collect in each level.
* [[Groin Attack]]: {{spoiler|At the end of "Shadow of the Colossal Donut", when Bart and Homer take down the Lard Lad Donuts mascot statue, Homer continually pounds the fallen statue in the crotch, with Bart telling him to show some dignity in victory.}}
* [[Helium Speech]]: Occurs when Homer inflates himself.
* [[Humanoid Female Animal]]: The orange female prostitute cats look more humanoid than Scratchy.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Professor Frink's relationship with his new turtle bride.
* [[Invisible Wall]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Because the game doesn't go on forever.]]
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The Clichés, obviously.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|"It's not that original."]]

* [[Mini Game]]: {{spoiler|The Simpsons Game}}.
* [[Mythology Gag]]
Line 69 ⟶ 71:
* [[The Power of Rock|The Power of Jazz]]: Lisa can knock people out with a few notes on her saxophone.
* [[Power-Up]]: Every family member has one that makes them deal more damage as well as being temporarily invincible.
* [[Rage Against the Author]]: Simpsons vs Groening. After beating him up, the family call him out for milking their franchise.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: {{spoiler|When defeating Groening doesn't stop the chaos in Springfield, they take it the one person more powerful than him - God.}}
* [[Respawning Enemies]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|"Infinite bad guys from a small door. Way to rip off the clown car."]]
* [[RPG Episode]]: Homer and Marge go through a level called [[
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Matt Groening's cameo.
** With a hell of a [[Take That]] in the mix:
{{quote|
'''Homer:''' "[[Seth MacFarlane]]?" }}
* [[Shout-Out]]: To a metric ton of other [[Video Game|video games]]. Even ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', when the Mario [[Expy]] says at the end "I hope it's a-spaghetti!". Not a lot of tropers are willing to describe them, but you have a list of them in [[The Other Wiki|The simpsons wiki]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130118045448/http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/The_Simpsons_Game/References
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]
* [[Slogan Yelling Megaphone Guy]]: Marge.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Lisa with her Buddha Hand power is the most powerful member of the family, but her physical durability and as her physical attacks are no better than the rest of her family, and she needs to be near a Buddha statue in order use her powers.
* [[Space X]]:
** "I told you to pick up your {{spoiler|space-rake}}!"
Line 89 ⟶ 92:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can beat up and knock out characters walking around Springfield. You can have Homer beat the crap out of Sherri and Terri.
* [[Video Game Tutorial]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Because you wouldn't read the manual]].
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Marge's powers arguably make her the most powerful member of her family (except maybe Lisa, who even then has a restriction to when she uses her powers), she can gather supporters of endless proportions and get plenty of help in situations she couldn't handle by herself. The game makes that civilians cannot die no matter what, so whenever a supporter is defeated, you can just recruit back into your cause. You can essentially prepare an army of your choice and size.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Marge has the power to bend people to her will, which she uses to create [[Torches and Pitchforks|a mob]] who destroy a bunch of [[Video Game]] merchandise and advertisements, as well as beating a bunch of innocents in the process. [[Moral Guardians|She does this in the name of censorship]].
* [[Widget Series]]: "Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game" is a pastiche of weird Japanese [[Video Game|video games]], including references to ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Katamari Damacy]]''.
* [[Worst Whatever Ever]]
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Playing as either Marge or Lisa won't protect you from the enemies anymore than Bart or Homer.
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Enemies don't seem to have a problem with attacking Bart and Lisa. Marge and her mob sure don't have a problem with beating up kids buying Itchy and Scratchy.
