This work provides examples of:
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[After the End]]
* [[Action Girl]] - Jet.
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
** Manny the skeleton bartender bears a striking resemblance to [[Grim Fandango|another adventure game skeleton]].
** John Clark cameos as a ninja in [http://www.wickedawesomeadventure.com/2011/03/289-go-west-open-coconut.html turn 289.]
** The Red Heavy from [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]] works for [http://www.wickedawesomeadventure.com/2011/05/325-go-west.html the pirates].
* [[Cow Tools]] - Subverted because the characters do know what they are, but when Rhys, Cadungery, and Jet awake they are in rooms stuffed with strange and sometimes useful implements.
* [[Design It Yourself Equipment|Design-It-Yourself Equipment]] - A speargun out of a vevuzela and sharp stick? No problem. A... brusherhang? Apparently also useful.
** Spirit of the trope most closely followed by the customizable sidekicks. Standard/elective equipment: horns; fangs; claws; tusks; helmet; weapon.
** Equipable weapons are of the sort created not found (i.e. vevuzela spear gun).
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] - The inventory system may be one of these: no limit yet found on Cadungery's bottle capacity.
* [[Idiot Hero]] - Cad (somewhat).
* [[It May Help You Onon Your Quest]] - Red rubber stoppers, saucy literature, scrabble tiles... [[Wicked Awesome Adventure]] has them all.
* [[Mind Control Eyes]] - Alan develops these when he stares into an Irrational Portal in turn 262.
** Jill and M. Bison develop these when staring into the Irrational Map.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Utility Belt]] - All the characters have pockets and use what's in them in [[Utility Belt]] ways.
** Cadungery tries to turn his into a [[Bag of Holding]]. [http://www.wickedawesomeadventure.com/2010/09/187-take-cutlerybottles-check-sandwich.html Lampshaded].
* [[Variable -Length Chain]] - Jet's length of rubber hose.
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]] - In Rhys' case, it's more of a "Hat Uniform Accent," but he nevertheless assumes it to infiltrate Fort Ferris.
* [[Writing Byby the Seat of Your Pants]] - The author takes reader suggestions for every daily update, and [[Word of God]], he's mostly just making it up as he goes along.
* [[Game Over|You Have Died]] - Characters die, but continue to live on in an alternate reality where the players made a different choice.
** Death Count Rhys: 1
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
*** [http://www.wickedawesomeadventure.com/2011/03/294-knock-out-captain-steelwood-take.html Advice you need like a hole in the head: Don't tease the dangerous pirate.]
** Death Count Alan: 0
* [[You Wake Up in Aa Room]] - Rhys, Jet and Cad have all woken up in Darwinian Refuges without immediate explanation.
