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.
Most Annoying Sound: The loud Buzz/Honk while navigating the selection menus in Initial D 3
Scrappy Level: Happogahara in ver. 1 through 3 (and 5), Irohazaka and Myougi in Initial D 4. The latter, by the way, is supposed to be a beginner-level course, but it becomes scrappy when you combine it with a...
Scrappy Mechanic: In Initial D 4, corners have arbitrary speed limits that, if exceeded, will either lock your car's steering (in version 1.2) or cause you to spin out of control (in version 1.5 as well as Initial D 5).
That One Boss: Takumi when he's in the Trueno, his father Bunta in all of his appearances, and Ryousuke. There's even a mode in IDAS ver. 2 and 3 called "The Bunta Challenge" where you battle a version of Bunta who improves with subsequent races. It's the only mode where you can lose points if you lose.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Initial D 4 employs a completely different physics engine from its predecessors. Fans complained. Then the "version 1.5" update was released and changed some issues with the original version.
Tier-Induced Scrappy: Both versions of the Miata Roadster, and the AE85. Though the latter (and its driver in the anime and manga) are already in-universe Scrappies.
