''[['''Transformice]]''''' is a Flash-based multiplayer game, featuring a mischief[[hottip:* :<ref>[[Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life|Yes, that is the right term.]]</ref> of mice trying to get as many pieces of cheese back to the hole as possible on various deathtrap-laden maps. Among the mice is a Shaman, who can conjure up a variety of items to help his disciples in their task. Sometimes, the game will add a bit of competition by selecting two Shamans and pitting them against each other in a fight over who can get more mice to the hole of their color.
 
Because getting in each other's way is of course what this game is all about. Most maps are completely trivial and could easily be navigated successfully with zero casualties if it weren't for the fact that the mice tend to rush recklessly forward at the earliest opportunity. There are two reasons for this. The first reason lies in the scoring system. The player with the highest score gets to be Shaman in the next round, then their score is reset and they start over. Players score points by bringing cheese to the hole, and the more people they are quicker than, the more points they get. The second reason is that getting cheese first unlocks various [[Cosmetic Award|titles]]. [[Hilarity Ensues|The consequences of this arrangement are apparent.]]
 
Seeing as this is a browser game that anyone can play at any time, it offers a unique insight into the Internet's collective consciousness. The game currently runs on the following servers:

Line 80:
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: The game world actually extends beyond the edges of the screen, which can be used to bypass some obstacles on certain maps.
* [[Shout-Out]]: "[[Seinfeld|No cheese for you!]]"
** Also, one of the [[Cosmetic Award|Cosmetic Awards]]s you can buy with your cheese is a pair of [[Triangle Shades]], which resemble either [[Super Mario Bros. 2|the Mouser]]'s or [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]]'s.
*** You can buy [[The Simpsons (animation)|Marge Simpson]]'s hair, [[Dragon Ball|Super Saiyan 2]] hair, [[Mario]]'s cap, [[Asterix]]'s helmet, [[Viewtiful Joe]]'s helmet and [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'s helmet in the shop, as well as an eggshell hat reminiscent of [[YoshisYoshi's Island|Yoshi]]'s. [[Touhou Project|Yuuka's PC-98 Nightcap]] is also available.
*** Red and green [[Star Wars|lightsabers]], [[Bleach|Urahara's hat and Zangetsu]] are also available.
*** And now [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]-inspired hairstyles. Cue [[Colbert Bump]] from Equestria Daily.
Line 97:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: ''And how.'' Note, however, that any and all cruelty is done upon real players.
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: You have a map layout, the mice, the cheese, and the mousehole. Everything else is up to you.
* [[Wiki Rule]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120806061858/http://transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Didn't even take that long.]
* [[Wreaking Havok]]: It uses the [http://www.box2d.org/ Box2D] engine.
* [[X Meets Y]]: Observing the usual course of a game, one would surmise that this is a multiplayer version of ''[[Lemmings]]''.)
