[[folder:General/All Music Bugz]]
* AnimateInanimateObject: They’re all living, somewhat animalistic musical instruments.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: You can only use one Music Bug of each color per song.
* CastSpeciation: Notably [[AvertedTrope averted]], as sometimes multiple Bugz share the same instrument- Plucks and Strings are both violins, for instance. All four “Pings” and “Keys” all produce the same sounds, as well.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Melody Bugz are yellow, Harmony Bugz are green (although in practice the roles of “Melody” and “Harmony” are pretty interchangeable in this game), Bass Bugz are blue, and Percussion Bugz are red.
* InformedSpecies: “Bugz” obviously aren’t actually bugs, and don’t really look like insects at all.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: “Bugz” is always spelled with a “z”.
