Line 80:
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Fire Leo in ''Viewtiful Joe'', Drill Sergeant Big John in ''Viewtiful Joe 2''.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Punch Out A God?]]: {{spoiler|King Blue. He gets better, though.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Silvia in the first game. In the second, and one [[New Game
* [[Do Androids Dream?]]/[[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Miss Bloody Rachel learns to feel emotions after experiencing the Viewtiful nature of life at Joe and Silvia's hands. This doesn't fly with Dr. Cranken, who promptly [[Kick the Dog|electrocutes her]]. {{spoiler|She gets better.}}
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Gran Bruce needs a second to think before he does... uhh... dehh... ANYTHING!
** Except for telling Joe every detail of their dastardly plan.
Line 97:
{{quote| '''Alastor''': "We're supposed to be enemies, but you treat me like I'm your cousin or something."}}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Joe, Alastor, and quite a few others. Justified to the extreme in that they are all characters in an action movie and are entirely aware of that fact. Oddly, the first game's main villain, {{spoiler|King/Captain Blue}}, ''averts'' this Trope; he's supposed {{spoiler|to be the guy who makes these films, and knows their cliches and ideas in and out}}, so [[Fridge Logic|how is he not a more dangerous threat if he's got those traits]]?
** It's [[Wild Mass Guessing|possible]] that {{spoiler|being part of Movieland as the [[Big Bad]]}} binds him to the associated tropes [[But Thou Must!|whether he wants to play them straight or not]], the way the other characters act according to their own [[Troperiffic]] roles as [[The Hero]], [[The Rival]], [[Femme Fatale]], [[Goldfish Poop Gang]], ect.
* [[Genre Shift]]: In the very last level of the first game, when you find out the main villain is none other than {{spoiler|Captain Blue}}, Joe makes very few jokes, and the end of the game is a little more serious than the others.
* [[Glasses Girl]]: Silvia and Sprocket.
Line 114:
* [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels]]:
** [[Easier Than Easy|Sweet]] mode from the [[Updated Rerelease]] and [[PS 2]] version of the first game.
** Kids (easy)<ref> You cannot do a [[New Game
** Adults (Normal)
** [[Nintendo Hard|V-Rated]]
Line 147:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Silvia in ''2''. From a [[Stripperiffic]] outfit during boss battles to loads and loads of [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]] to the most sensual Zoomed-in pose you'll ever see, Silvia has this one in the bag. Sprocket '''does''' give her a run for her money in the anime and ''Red Hot Rumble'', though.
* [[Nebulous Evil Organisation]]: JADOW in ''1'', GEDOW in ''2'', MADOW in ''Double Trouble''. (How do they come up with those names?)
* [[New Game
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Fire Leo. Also, the Rainbow V challenge to unlock "super" versions of each character with unlimited VFX is quite possibly one of the most masochistic things one could do for a video game.
** Ultra V-Rated Mode is ''sadistic''; even if you know how to predict their blows without the indicators, it's still kinda hard.
Line 178:
* [[Running Gag]]: Whenever Alastor is defeated, he appears to "die" honorably. The narrator gets very sentimental over this. However, Alastor usually appears ''immediately'' afterwards to lament his lack of screen-time; in the first game [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|he appeals directly to the players]], and in ''2'' he speaks with Jet.
* [[Sentai]]: An [[Affectionate Parody]].
* [[Second
* [[Sequel Hook]]: [[Invoked Trope]] at the end of the first game and the second game.
** And ''Double Trouble''.
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: In the fourth "episode" of the first game, It's possible to run across the torpedoes without deactivating them, which allows you to skip the first "mission" of the area and go right to the chapter end boss.
* [[Shout
** To ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', which is made by the same studio.
*** To go in-depth, Alastor himself. Not only does he possess the attacks (Stinger, Air Raid, Round Trip, Vortex, etc.) and [[Shock and Awe|purple lightning powers]] of his sword namesake, but when fought in Dante's story, Alastor reveals that he's [[Anthropomorphic Personification|the spirit of the sword]] and fumes that Dante didn't take him along during ''Devil May Cry 2''. Alastor also possesses a version of Joe's Red Hot Kick called Ultraviolet Kick; this is a nod to the [[Leitmotif]] of Nelo Angelo in ''DMC1''. In ''2'', his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] (Underworld Emperor Alastor) physically resembles Dante's Alastor [[Super Mode|Devil Trigger]] and speaks the same line to Joe ("I am Alastor. The weak shall give their heart and swear their eternal loyalty to me.") that he said to Dante before [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|impaling him]] (Joe is much luckier, due to his VFX powers).
Line 225:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlS8tjoKFCs&feature=related You can infer for yourself if this was unintentional or not.]
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: The Narrator persistently attempts to make Joe's showboating look heroic.
** It's even more hilarious when you realize the narrator [[Hey, It's That Voice!|is]] ''[[Final Fantasy X|Jecht]]!''
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Hulk Davidson in the first game, Flinty Stone in ''2''.
* [[Warrior Poet]]: Frost Tiger in ''2''. He even utters some poetry in his death throes. It makes his death all the more epic.
