Line 4:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Attack Animal]]: The Good-Bye Doggie chases the targetted opponent with a stick of dynamite in its mouth.
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|Finish Game Show Mode and your character does indeed get his or her Hearts Desire, but is also trapped in a void, presumably forever. Also, the epsiode shows that Van survives the [[Final Battle]], which caused his show to be a ratings smash and the network to change their mind about cancelling it. This may have been intended as a [[Sequel Hook]] that never made it to sequel.}}
* [[Basement Dweller]]: Eugene.
* [[Battle Cry]]: Each character has their own stash of quotes for picking up a weapon. A lot of these quotes could count for other tropes too, like [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|pre-asskicking one-liners]] or [[Evil Laugh|evil laughs]].
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Deadly Game]]: Of the [[Bloody Hilarious]] type.
* [[Defeat Means Playable]]: Defeating {{spoiler|Van in Gameshow Mode}} unlocks him for Battle Mode.
* [[The Devil Is a Loser]]: Van is a demon, but not a particularly
* [[Dragged Off to Hell]]: Happens to the winner, but in this case, it leads to the final round being a [[Bonus Level of Hell]].
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: The "Chicken" game type.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Flaming Sword]]: Flaming meat cleavers, actually. Attacking any player with fire when they're holding a meat cleaver results in the meat cleaver being set on fire instead.
* [[Frank's 2000-Inch TV]]: The Highrise stage features one of these.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]] Despite what the game box shows, Lucy is naked, save for her boots and gloves. Her chest and hips are covered by censor bars.
* [[Gallows Humor]]: Happens whenever a player is "whacked"; for example, Lance shouts "Wipe Out!" and Lucy says, "That wasn't nice!"
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: The objective of the "Combat" games is to collect a certain amount of stars.
* [[Gotta Kill Them All]]: "Chicken" games involve killing a certain amount of chickens and collecting their stars. "Fragfest" requires you to kill the other players, and get the most amount of kills before time runs out.
Line 32 ⟶ 35:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Pretty much a given for a game like this. Improbable weapons include rubber duckies, staplers, dogs, cacti, shish-ka-bobs, dodgeballs, and cans of soda.
* [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]: Eugene often daydreams about pulling out a flamethrower and burning everyone.
* [[Ironic Name]]: Lucky. Know how they say that, before you guy a rabbit's foot for luck you should consider how much luck (or rather, lack of it) the rabbit had? Lucky is one of those rabbits.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Lucy the human bangs Lance the lion backstage at one point. (She isn't impressed.) {{spoiler| In her ending, she seems to fall madly in love with ''Otto's Chair''.}}
* [[Is This Thing Still On?]]: Happens to Van ''twice'', both times when speaking to the network and spilling some rather incriminating info on his motives.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Lucky.
Line 43 ⟶ 47:
* [[Notice This]]: Anything you can pick up sparkles and hovers above the ground while spinning. Also, far-away opponents glow brightly.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Making direct contact with a regular missile or the Good-bye Doggie results in one of these. Question Marks can give you "Da Bomb" instead of a power up, which is basically a bomb floating above your head and counting down from 10. Other players can die from the explosion too if you're near enough. Also, the "Death" Big Red Button event spawns a giant skeletal hand which chases players around the stage, and touching it instantly kills you. Toof's Exclamation Point turns the other players into walking hamburgers, allowing him to eat them by attacking them without a weapon. Lucy's Exclamation Point causes her to constantly blow kisses of death, which if they come into contact with anyone, causes them to levitate into the air and die instantly. Some stages have unique features that can cause one-hit kills. Finally, chickens die instantly when hit with any weapon.
* [[Planet Heck]]: The final level takes place in Hell itself.
* [[Power-Up]]: Question Mark pickups give characters a random one of these... mostly.
* [[Power-Up Motif]]: A hard rock theme plays whenever a character is under the effect of an Exclamation Point. The "El Vampiro" power up has a Mexican theme. Each Big Red Button event also has its own theme, though not all of them involve characters powering up.
* [[Random Event]]: Grabbing the Big Red Button activates these, and the Buttons can appear in any weapon spawn point, at any time.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Lucy. {{spoiler|In her ending, she borders [[Anything That Moves]] territory.}}
* [[Regenerating Health]]: Health regenerates very quickly. It's actually very useful because there's no other way to heal, and you're constantly getting crushed and maimed.
* [[Ring Out]]: It's possible to die in some arenas by falling.
* [[Scratch Damage]]: Characters can do a simple punch/kick if they're not carrying a weapon. It only takes about a pixel off the life bar, but still possible to kill someone with. Chickens can't die at all this way, though.
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: The contestants reflect all of the 7 sins: Lucky is [[Unstoppable Rage|Wrath]], Eugene is [[Green-Eyed Monster|Envy]], Toof is [[Villainous Glutton|Gluttony]], Lucy is [[Lust]], Lance is [[Pride]]: Charity is [[Greed]] and Otto is [[Lazy Bum|Sloth]].
* [[Sequel Hook]]: After the final battle in Gameshow Mode, {{spoiler|the show is renewed after it was cancelled}} in the cutscene before the battle. Too bad the game's developer went out of business.
* [[Spread Shot]]: Possible with the Rubber Ducky weapon. Holding down the attack button longer results in you throwing more rubber duckies at once, and they'll be spread out.
