** The TakeThat doesn't appear to be so much against the genre itself, so much as the sheer omnipresence they have in the modern market. Outside of Nintendo systems, FPS games are seen by many as the easiest way to make money in the game world; because of this, other genres get less attention. Q-Bert, a character from a Platformer, is willing to settle for a cameo in an FPS.

* Why is [[ActionGirl Sergeant Calhoun]] female? Other than being an AfirmativeActionGirl she's from a space-marine style FPS, which would be considered "new" compared to the old-fashioned arcade games, also explaining a female protagonist, another "new" concept!

* Oh sweet Vanellope. She is pretty much the Deconstruction Personification of the DummiedOut trope. She herself, her car, her level...they weren't finished and she can't do anything about it. She's stuck in the game, ostracized by all the other racers and all she wants to do is be in the game. She can't. What's worse is that most players of Sugar Rush wouldn't even ''know'' she existed unless they could hack into the game and find her data or the creators of the game got interviewed to explain what was left in the final product. And if that's just her, what about all of the other games? How does it feel like to be the DummiedOut characters in those games, unable to interact in the game or just even being ''in'' the game?

** A Psychological issue: Statistically speaking, how many Street Fighter players actually ''play'' Zangief (and other MightyGlacier grappler types like him), compared to RyuAndKen, Chun Li, and other more balanced (or even [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute attractive]]) characters? Technically speaking, Zangief ''isn't'' a Bad Guy. But if you spend 95% of the time as an obstacle to the player rather than the PlayerCharacter himself, you might start to ''feel'' like one.

* Ralph's and Q-Bert's TakeThat about the FirstPersonShooter makes little sense. The genre is a distant minority in the arcade scene, where the only ones I can find are ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', SNK's ''TheSuperSpy'', and possibly Atari's I, Robot. (There is also SNK's CrossedSwords trilogy, but those are first person slice'em-ups.) Furthermore, shoot'em ups have a long and honorable history in the arcade scene. The rail versions dating back to ''Crossbow'' and ''OperationWolf'', and the scrolling versions to ''Commando'', ''IkariWarriors'', and ''Jackal''. Frankly he should be more bewildered at the way tournament fighting games have taken over. This feels more like a case of DidNotDoTheResearch.

* On the topic of Ralph's backstory in his game, there's some brilliance there in itself. Since Ralph is apparently only trying to destroy the apartment because its construction destroyed ''his'' home, well, [[JerkassHasAPoint he's not exactly looking like the bad guy here.]] But who is Ralph supposed to be an {{Expy}} of? Donkey Kong. And what was Donkey Kong's backstory in [[DonkeyKong ''his'']] original game? It's actually AllThereInTheManual that Donkey Kong was being ''abused'' by his owner and only stole his owner's girl to get revenge for said abuse. [[NightmareFuel I think we'd prefer it if he was just evil.]]

** I thought it followed Kid Radd rules. Each game has its own cast. Imagine an arcade with several different versions of Street Fighter, all containing duplicate cast members. Each would have its own version of said character, able to communicate. Duplicate heroes might be either such a scenario (game so popular multiple copies were needed) or the characters escaped a broken game and it got replaced by a working version. Now there are two sets of those characters. Maybe they even trade up who "plays" to give each other vacations?
