  • 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.

The only good game for the N-Gage. A parody of the most noticeable videogames and gaming tropes from the golden age of arcades through to the modern day, in which parodies of popular franchise characters fight each other on pathways made from falling Tetris blocks in an attempt to 'rescue' one another's princesses. Yes, it's that kind of game.

Contains examples of:[]

  • Affectionate Parody - All the characters, really.
  • A Winner Is You - Often said outright by a rescued princess.
  • BFG - More specifically, the BFGP (Biggest Freaking Gun Possible) powerup.
  • Captain Ersatz: Count for yourself. Most obvious:
    • Plumber = Mario
    • Hedgehog = Sonic
    • Monster Tamer = Tabletop Games/Pokemon
    • Cyborg = Quake III Arena/Unreal Tournament/ Metroid Prime
    • Level 50 Elf = Everquest
    • Doctor Lovebomber = Bomberman
  • Cloning Blues - "Fortunately, I have a backup of... me!"
  • Creepy Child - The Monster Tamer. Brrr.
  • Crossover - At least in terms of the parodic characters.
  • Geo Effects - By creating "Combos", which are horizontal or vertical lines of at least five blocks, players can gain multiple advantages, such as faster movement and increased attack and defense. Blocks that form combos are also harder to remove than those that do not.
  • Gotta Catch Em All - All The Princesses, at least. The "Monster Tamer" lampoons this brilliantly.
  • Level Grinding - The Level 50 Elf, in order to become level 50, kills bunny after bunny after bunny after bunny after...
  • Mad Scientist - Doctor Lovebomber, and how.
  • Murder Simulators - Doctor Lovebomber regularly chuckles over this idea while attacking other characters.
  • Retraux - "Welcome back to the playground of your youth!"
  • Riding the Bomb - In the cutscene for Doctor Lovebomber's special move.
  • Rocket Jump - The Cyborg's special move.
  • Shout-Out - Too many to count, with one of the finest being when the ending cutscene for Cyborg reveals 'him' to be an attractive woman, a'la Samus Aran.
  • The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard - Seriously. They'll always get the best items every. friggin. time.
  • Totally Radical - Hedgehog pushes this trope to the limits- perhaps unsurprising as he is created from bling and market research by Doctor Lovebomber.
  • Unwanted Rescue
