Added DiffLines:
'''Once Upon a Smile''' is a retelling of ''SmilePrettyCure'' by [[Tropers/PerfumePreppy Cure_Shabon]]. Like other PrettyCure [[FanWorks/PrettyCure fanfics of this franchise]], it adds several new plot points, removes existing ones, and adds a SixthRanger to the main roster.
!!Once Upon a Smile contains examples of:
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The Misery Angels, a biker gang who takes over the Bad End Kingdom generals' place as the resident QuirkyMinibossSquad after the latter group [[FountainOfYouth is aged down]] in episode 23.
* AscendedExtra: Genki, who becomes one of ThoseTwoGuys with Houji, and Pop, who becomes part of the main cast from episode 21 onwards.
* BadGuyBar: The Pit of Doom, an interdimensional bar that the Misery Angels hang out at.
* BeachEpisode: Episode 26, part 2 of the Pretty Cure in Brazil arc. The Hino family goes to the Tambaba beach (a ''[[NakedPeopleAreFunny nudist]]'' beach, at that rate -- though nothing is shown thanks to large amounts of SceneryCensor and, oddly enough, CensorSuds), Houji tags along, and he and Genki wind up meeting a mermaid named Tallulah, who escaped from Märchenland during Pierrot's initial invasion.
* BigDamnHeroes: Houji, of all people, in episode 23.
* TheCapitalOfBrazilIsBuenosAires: Averted. During the Pretty Cure in Brazil arc, Brazil is portrayed in a surprisingly unstereotypical and accurate way; for instance, the girls' hotel is located in Recife, an entire episode takes place in the Tambaba nudist beach, and there are even a few references to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John%27s_Eve St. John's Eve festivities]]. This is justified, as Cure_Shabon is Brazilian.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After becoming leader of the Misery Angels, Joker discards his canon white and purple outfit for [[HellBentForLeather a black and purple leather ensemble]] with SpikesOfVillainy and replaces his [[MalevolentMaskedMen mask]] with CoolShades. When Sazaoni is the only member of the initial group left, he switches back to his canon look.
* EvolvingCredits: In episodes 23 and 24, the EndingTheme is updated to feature Silver Knight joining in and clumsily trying to keep up with the Cures' pace as they dance.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange:
** Early on with Miyuki. She at first wears her hair in a ponytail, and after becoming Cure Happy decides to wear it in her usual "[[GirlishPigtails chocolate cornet twintails]]".
** Also, to go with his aforementioned [[EvilCostumeSwitch Eviler Costume Switch]], Joker slicks back his hair, giving him more of a biker feel.
** Reika goes through an AdrenalineMakeover in episode 27, sporting wavier hair halfway through the episode after Tulio convinces her to do so. [[StatusQuoIsGod She changes back to her usual]] HimeCut by the following episode, though.
* FiveBadBand: The Misery Angels.
** BigBad: Joker
** TheDragon: Enenra
** TheBrute: Franken
** EvilGenius: Sazaoni
** TheDarkChick: Chii
** TagalongKid: Kid!Akaoni and Kid!Majorina
** TeamPet: Puppy!Wolfrun
** BiggerBad: Pierrot
* FountainOfYouth: Wolfrun, Akaoni and Majorina, as consequence of being hit with Pretty Cure's purifying {{finishing move}}s in episode 23. [[spoiler:They go back to normal in episode 39.]]
* GodivaHair: Tallulah from episode 26.
* ImagineSpot: Houji has a brief one in episode 3, as he imagines how Yayoi would look like as a Cure. ''Before'' she actually gets powers.
* InTheHood: Houji, whose summer casual wear includes a hooded vest, invokes this trope during his BigDamnHeroes moment in episode 23, shortly before transforming into Silver Knight for the first time.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Houji's ringtone is one of the ''GoGoSentaiBoukenger'' opening, and the Misery Angels' {{leitmotif}} appears to be a more evil-sounding one of [[ANTFarm China Anne McClain]]'s "Calling All the Monsters", of all things.
* LegacyCharacter:
** There was another team of Smile Cures prior to Miyuki and her friends, with the exact same colors and Cure names. [[spoiler:While this is played straight with Akane, Yayoi, Nao, Reika, and even Candy, it's subverted with Miyuki, whose predecessor is ''Ryunyo'' -- or at least her human form.]]
** [[spoiler:There were also five additional members, whose Pretty Cure lights were assumed to be annihilated by Pierrot prior to the beginning of the story. One of these five was none other than the current Cures' teacher, Namie Sasaki.]]
* LowerDeckEpisode: Most of the episodes focused on [[ThoseTwoGuys Houji and Genki]], notably episodes 14 and 26, the latter of which showcases their misadventures in the nudist beach of Tambaba while the rest of the Hino family serves the beach-goers. Though since Houji already has powers by the time the events of episode 26 happen, it isn't quite as "lower deck" as episode 14.
* MinionShipping: Ryunyo has a blatant one-sided crush on Wolfrun... which fades away in episode 15 after she hears him say that love is a weak feeling.
* MonsterMash: The Misery Angels.
** FrankensteinsMonster: Franken
** OurVampiresAreDifferent: Chii
** VillainousHarlequin / MonsterClown: Joker, of course.
** {{Youkai}}: Enenra and Sazaoni
* MonsterOfTheWeek: After the Bad End Kingdom, and by extension, the Akanbes, meet their demise, Joker produces black cross-shaped amulets that allow the Misery Angels to create monsters known as Kusanics, which are considerably scarier in appearance than the Akanbes and used much less often, as the Misery Angels are much more active fighters.
* NakedApron: Akane is clad in one through the entirety of her screentime in episode 26.
* NonMammalMammaries: Ryunyo, ''full stop''.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Tallulah from episode 26 is an AmbiguouslyBrown BigBeautifulWoman with WildHair, in stark contrast with her fellow mermaids.
* OriginalCharacter: [[Characters/PrettyCureOriginalCharacters Houji]], Ryunyo, and the Misery Angels (excluding Joker).
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Tallulah, from episode 26, resembles the more humanoid types of mermaids, such as those seen in ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', uses the Splash Method to become human, and is purely benevolent.
* PinkySwear: Done by Houji and Tallulah at the end of episode 26, when he promises her that he and the Cures will succeed in saving Märchenland and allowing her to see her mermaid friends again.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Ryunyo/Itari Sakuraba, after episode 24.]]
* RealSongThemeTune: From a certain point -- more specifically in episode 29, after the Pretty Cure in Brazil arc's end -- onwards, the opening theme is changed to "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_lgowTGQrI The Light]]" by Aya Kamiki ([[KamenRiderDouble W-B-X]] anyone?).
