History VideoGame / AliceInSpacelandSeries

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: In Alice in Spaceland 3, you receive a ton of lives in Level 5, just before you fight the '5' satellite boss. Given [[NintendoHard how the previous levels were]], and the fact that the challenging FinalBoss is just around the corner, you're gonna need 'em.

* BonusBoss: You'll usually find these if you use a password on some of the games or do something out of the ordinary, [[SchmuckBait like wait on the start-up screen for a while...]]

* CoresAndTurretsBoss: [[BonusBoss MC2.]]

-->--The first game's tagline, [[WidgetSeries and boy, does it ever take the quote and run with it.]]

** Cirno Xi: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Hina Kagiyama]]]]

** Some of the bosses certainly qualify for this position. Most of the bosses in Alice Xi seem to be this, and the final boss of Cirno Xi, [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Hina Kagiyama]]]], is definitely this, since there is no lead up or hints to her prescence at all. Special mention goes to the final boss of ''Spaceland Adventure'', [[spoiler: who is just an F.O.E in the shape of a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Goomba.]]]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: All of Zio's pre-battle appearances save the first Alice in Spaceland and Alice Xi were backed by [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Marx's theme]] from [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Likewise, [[spoiler: Mission's]] pre-battle appearances and actual battles are always backed up by part of [[Manga/ShugoChara Lulu's (unreleased) Theme]] and Nick Perrin's Transcend (from the Newgrounds Audio Portal) respectively.

...at least that's what Alice wishes to think, as we crescendo into the last part of the Cirno's Vengeance trilogy, ''Cirno's Vengeance EX''. [[GuideDangIt Provided you find out you need to press a button as Alice says the line in the right corner of the dialogue box]], you won't get to her last form. If you do figure THAT out, Cirno pits you through a hell of a survival round. You'll need to dodge her dash attacks, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou snowflakes]], [[FrickinLaserBeams badly hitboxed laser beams]], [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure a ZA WAURDO that doesn't even work]], and a poorly aimed nine-ball symbol, all in order to beat her. Then, Cirno tires out...and gets zapped by a laser, that happened to come from a sentient sword. Alice demands to know what happened to Cirno, [[TheStinger only for this new enemy to escape and breathe another day.]]

Once Eiki Shiki is defeated, she performs a HeelFaceTurn and joins the group. However, between games, [[WildMassGuessing they must have stumbled across a new dimension, got a new ship somehow,]] and thus they need to escape from it. This kicks off the third, [[SequelDifficultySpike and by far the hardest]], game in the series, Alice in Spaceland 3. New boss enemies are introduced, and old ones make a return. The trio finally faces Zio [[spoiler: who apparently duplicated himself during the events of ''2''.]] The three manage to take him down...only for him to resurface a little later in a different version of level 5. This time, they don't fight the [[spoiler: two Zios.]] [[spoiler: Instead, they fight his disciple, a ship called Mission. It's a hard and long battle, but they prevail yet again.]]

* SequelDifficultyDrop: Save for probably [[spoiler: the Quantum Zone]], ''Alice Xi'' is ''much'' easier than its predecessor.
* SequelDifficultySpike: Alice in Spaceland 3 is noticeably harder than the other games, though the same could be said for the previous installments.

His flash games (and the series as a whole) used to be played [[http://www.nonoba.com/kog here on Nonoba,]] but due to the site's shutdown, it took all of the games with it. Because [=KingOfGETs=] didn't back them up elsewhere, the games are likely LostForever, save for the first three as they're on Newgrounds.

* LostForever: Most of the games in the series are most likely gone since Nonoba's shutdown, namely Alice Xi, Cirno Xi, Spaceland Adventure 1 and Spaceland Adventure 2.

* {{Badass}}: Almost all of the main cast, but Cirno has been getting this treatment, [[spoiler: seeing as she HAS defeated some pretty powerful entities, and even '''the creator himself'''.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler: Up until the battle that kills Maribel, the amount of backup plans Renko has to tire out and lead the heroes atstray arguably makes her one of the most formidable foes in the series by far.]]

** Some of the bosses certainly qualify for this position. Most of the bosses in Alice Xi seem to be this, and the final boss of Cirno Xi, [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Hina Kagiyama]]]], is definitely this, since there is no lead up or hints to her prescence at all. Special mention goes to the final boss of ''Spaceland Adventure'', [[spoiler: who is just an F.O.E in the shape of a [[SuperMarioBros Goomba.]]]]

* GratuitousSpanish: Cirno [[ShoutOut speaks in Spanish]] [[CharlieTheUnicorn to a Z Satellite.]] It doesn't end well.

His flash games (and the series as a whole) can be played [[http://www.nonoba.com/kog here on Nonoba.]]

** Cirno's Vengance: Cirno, [[CaptainObvious duh.]]

* NoEnding: [[spoiler:Kind of. It sort of stops short before anything interesting could be done with the Death of Maribel Arc, instead opting for another Creator battle.]]

Thus begins the series proper, with Alice [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin flying through space, and trying to find this new threat and eradicate him.]]

* BadAss: Almost all of the main cast, but Cirno has been getting this treatment, [[spoiler: seeing as she HAS defeated some pretty powerful entities, and even '''the creator himself'''.]]

* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: ''Spaceland Adventure 2's'' ending. Cirno manages to defeat Renko and Maribel and put an end to Renko's plans once and for all. However, Maribel is now dead thanks to the fight, Alice is still trapped in the Sands of Time and Renko is distraught at the death of her close friend. There ''is'' a light at the end of the tunnel, though: Cirno extends a hand of help to Renko and promises to her that, once she makes sure Alice is okay, she will find a way to bring Maribel back to life and make Renko happy again.]]

* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasStandards: Renko is quite upset after the battle with her and Maribel ends up killing the latter.]]

* [[spoiler: NoEnding: Kind of. It sort of stops short before anything interesting could be done with the Death of Maribel Arc, instead opting for another Creator battle.]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Alice, at the start of the series, though since the CerebusSyndrome is kicking in, Alice isn't the only sane one anymore. [[spoiler: Cirno actually has been making an effort to bring Alice back, [[{{Determinator}} even bringing down Renko Usami to prove a point.]]]]

* [[spoiler: SamusIsAGirl: Mission and the Master F.O.E, who are really Renko under different pseudonyms and appearances.]]

** SequelDifficultyDrop: Conversely, save for probably [[spoiler: the Quantum Zone]], ''Alice Xi'' is ''much'' easier than its predecessor.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why do some of the shapes in Dimension 2 of Alice Xi die in one hit, but some take more? Because their health depends on how many sides they have.

* There'sNoKillLikeOverkill: Cirno tries to do this a lot during the ''Cirno's Vengeance'' saga. Most attempts either fail to harm Alice at all or are terribly hitboxed.

* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Cirno tries to do this a lot during the ''Cirno's Vengeance'' saga. Most attempts either fail to harm Alice at all or are terribly hitboxed.

* DemotedToExtra: Some of the main characters didn't show up for Alice Xi or Cirno Xi, though this has been getting averted lately, now that the characters are getting prominence in the Spaceland Adventure arc. [[TheHero Reimu]], however, has been playing this straight.
