Line 55:
* [[God Guise]]: There's one based around mini-golf in "Nanoc the Obliviator", of which Smiley's old foe the Puttmaster takes advantage.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Mistress Ropes in the final stage.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Nordya
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Mistress Ropes becomes this when she transitions to the modern era.
Line 66:
* [[Japanese Stock Phrases]]: A 'sugoi' is dropped at one point in Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids.
* [[Jerkass]]: Every character to a certain degree, although Star probably the most. His entire life is apparently spent annoying and undermining Smiley while providing no help at all. He even takes giddy delight when {{spoiler|Smiley accidentally murders an innocent old man at the beginning of Nanoc's comic.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: [[Zig -Zagging Trope]]. During the whole game, Smiley appears as a pure and unadultered [[Jerkass]], only caring about his image and money. But he's also shown feeling awful about killing {{spoiler|an innocent old man and crashing his funeral}}. He then really try to understand [[Straw Feminist|Miss Ropes]] and calm her down instead of shooting her. Finally, there is his relationship with her sidekick Gerda. It's obvious he doesn't respect her at all, laughing at her when she's about to get {{spoiler|exploded in a sea of TNT}} but she never tried to earn it, mocking and insulting him repeatedly during his missions. Strangely, he genuinely cares about Star when he seems to feel sick, even if the guy had no problem before to show he literally ''hates'' him.
* [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler|Smiley both delightfully lets Gerda die again and brutally kills each nemesis in the final stage. When you get back to the base afterward, they're all pissed at him and quit, Gerda included.}}
** {{spoiler|Even the ''dev team'' is implied to be killed when their pet monkey throws a stick of dynamite into the giant pile of money they're standing in.}}
Line 93:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many.
** The "comic jumper" machine is pretty much the time travel device used in [[Time Cop]]. An unlocked piece of concept art had it being even closer in look.
** ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)]]'': "[[Wizard Needs Food Badly|Captain needs food badly!]]"
** ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'': '''Winklemeyer''' (in a gruff voice): "What're ya buying?"
** ''[[Total Recall]]'': Benny. Just...Benny. [[Blatant Lies|He's got five kids!]]
** ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'': Smiley's design in the Manga world is clearly based on Cloud Strife.
** According to the interviews on the website, ''[[Bottle Fairy (Animeanime)|Bottle Fairy]]'' was one of the big influences on the "Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids" stage, with its [[Tastes Like Diabetes|over-the-top cuteness]] and [[Sugar Bowl|cheerfulness]].
*** Later the sub-bosses divide their health in segments, [[Touhou|each one getting a different, individually named pattern.]]
** The developers [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] all these shout outs by having Smiley sometimes say, "Pop culture reference goes here!"
Line 126:
** {{spoiler|Well, being trapped in a Shoujo manga for three issues being a teacher when you were a super-villian in your previous job can break you down really bad.}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Captain Smiley and Star... possibly.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids, which reaches such [[Tastes Like Diabetes|disgustingly cute]] and [[Mind Screw|outright bizarre]] levels that it almost feels like a manga version of [[Charlie the Unicorn]].
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Paper Lad, who's basically a sentient wad of paper than can turn into other types of paper.
** Smiley and Brad agree with this trope when they reach the Manga section.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The last stage. Wow.
* [[Where It All Began]]: The final level is a repeat of the first, but changed to be more awesome.
* [[X Meets Y]]: It's essentially an amalgam of ''[[Comix Zone]]'', ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]'' and ''[[Sin and Punishment]]'', with Twisted Pixel's own brand of self-indulgent comedy by way of ''[[The Adventures of Sam and& Max: Freelance Police (Video Game)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]''.
** With perhaps a touch of ''[[Earthworm Jim (Videovideo Gamegame)|Earthworm Jim]]'' in there too.
* [[Yandere]]: The girls of "Cutie Cutie Kid Cupids" don't take it kindly when Captain Smiley tries to take Brad away.
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: LoLo, the goth looking cupid. After thanking Smiley for defeating her two sisters, she proclaims she's going to write a super sexy yaoi starring Smiley and Star. They have no idea what she means by that.
