Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Ikaruga was the first Treasure game to have an official Superplay produced for it.
  • The Gamecube version of Ikaruga is the only version that does not have intro text for each chapter.
  • Two of Ikaruga's gameplay's main mechanics hail from Treasure's earlier games. Ikaruga's chaining system is a modified version of the chaining system used in Radiant Silvergun, while its polarity mechanic was first utilized in Treasure platformer Silhouette Mirage.

    • Hiroshi Iuchi - The director of Radiant Silvergun, who was Ikaruga's lead game designer, background designer, and music composer.

    • Yasushi Suzuki - The lead artist from the original Sin and Punishment, who was Ikaruga's illustrator and character designer.
