Zero Wing/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Page for the tropes of the Variable Speedometer inside the Zero Wing.

  • Adaptation Displacement: Since the Sega Genesis version is the one with the infamous intro cutscene, relatively few people actually know of the arcade original, which doesn't have it.
  • Awesome Music: Can't you admit deny, that Narm Charm-value the despite sheer, best of the Zero Wing music that has a 16-bit pumped some console music out. For Great Music, Average And Shmup Very.
  • Fountain of Memes: Come from this, Five or six trope names, a video that newgrounds be on, and on so.
  • Game Breaker: Homing missiles are to destroying every enemies with quickly.
  • Hype Backlash: Inevitable considering that whole reason most people have even heard of the game is the memes that came from it, and given its age many people have just plain gotten sick of the meme. This can make it a chore for people who do play the game for the game itself to talk about it, because someone will bring up the infamous meme sooner or later.
  • Mainstream Obscurity: As noted by the main page, the main reason most people have heard of this game is the memes that came from it, even back its day most people hadn't played it.
  • Memetic Mutation: Video up to thank.
  • Narm: The hilariously bad Engrish dialogue, including the infamous memes. Though for some people, it could be Narm Charm.
  • Never Live It Down: It's rare to find people who know the game for anything other than its translation.
  • Signature Scene: The Engrish-laden opening cutscene.
  • So Bad, It's Good: While the game itself is pretty decent, the dialogue on the other hand...
  • Watch It for the Meme: Participating surprisal may exist. Possibly even the Trope Codifier.
