History VideoGame / MeloettaMelodyOfDiscord

* RazorWind: One of the attacks you can get, also used by some enemies and bosses.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: [[ThatOneBoss Serperior]] and his master [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]].

* DarkIsEvil: Discord [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn until the very end]],]] as well as the Darkrai and Nightmare Moon illusions.

* TheDragon:
** Serperior is one to [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]].
** Darkrai is apparently Nightmare Moon's (although they are both just illusions made by Discord).
** [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Splash Woman]] is the Dragon to Chrissa.
** Dr. Wily is the Dragon to Discord.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Between Meloetta and Miku.

* AllJustADream: Nightmare sequences. Though, dying on the bosses of those results in a Game Over, so this might be a case of NeverSleepAgain or YourMindMakesItReal.

** Also Meloetta when she is captured by the Nisshin Maru.

* CardCarryingVillain: Most of them, really.
--> '''Discord''': I'm incurable!

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The whalers have this kind of vibe going on.

* GottaCatchThemAll: The notes, in order to [[spoiler:reform Discord]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: Consider the following quote from one of the whaling ships:
--> ''"Sacrifices are necessary, [[{{Greed}} to make mon]] - I mean, for research!"''

* MakingASplash: Chrissa and Kyogre. But ironically enough, not Splash Woman.

* TheWallsAreClosingIn: In Meloetta's nightmare sequence.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: In the true final battle against Discord, he can shapeshift into diverse Pokémon, gaining their strengths and weaknesses.

The story centers on an [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]] [[MadGod Discord]]'s influence tempting Meloetta into singing a chaotic song, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which frees him]]. The spirit of chaos immediately goes on a chaotic spree, enraging wild Pokémon, resurrecting evil whalers, discording Miku Hatsune and more. On her quest to stop him, Meloetta will team up with her friends Miku Hatsune and Pinkie Pie, and eventually defeat him with the very thing that freed him - [[MagicMusic music]]! Yes, apparently they all live in the same universe. [[MST3KMantra Don't ask.]]

''Meloetta: Melody of Discord'' is a freeware [[CrossOver crossover game]] created by [=DialgaBrite=], also known as [=Groudon128=]. This game involves ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and Music/{{Vocaloid}}, not to mention Mega Man, dolls, whale poachers, and much more. The gameplay differs greatly depending on the character you are currently controlling - Meloetta flies, Pinkie and Miku platform.

* StandardStatusEffects: Numerous attacks from bosses don't inflict damage, but instead cause various unpleasant effects. The whalers' [[SonicStunner siren attacks]] drastically slow down movement, leaving you open to their harpoons. Kaa fires blasts that put Meloetta to sleep before trying to melee her. Darkrai uses his Dark Void ability, but because of his Bad Dreams effect this actually deals damage. Tickled Pink's tears severely reduce your resistance to her attacks.
** Burn and Poison are also present.

* OcularGushers: Tickled Pink's crying attack.
* PetalPower: Razor Leaf.

* SssssnakeTalk: Kaa and Serperior.
* SonicStunner: The whalers' sirens.
* ShockAndAwe: One of the attacks you can get.

* HeelFaceTurn: The discorded Miku is restored after Meloetta defeats her. So is Splash Woman.

The gameplay differs greatly depending on the character you are currently controlling - Meloetta flies, Pinkie and Miku platform.

* AuthorTract: DialgaBrite is a fan of Series/WhaleWars and the game contains numerous Japanese whaling ships as bosses.

* AbnormalAmmo: examples of projectiles used in this game include musical notes, leeks, fish and the color pink. And that's just the ones used by players.
* AllJustADream: nightmare sequences. Though, dying on the bosses of those results in a Game Over, so this might be a case of NeverSleepAgain or YourMindMakesItReal.
* ArtShift: some characters are sprited, some are drawn, and the whalers and their drones are even photorealistic!
* AttackDrone: the helicopters and ships that try to stop you from reaching the whaling vessels are referred to as drones, presumably so that the player characters can blow them up without worrying about destroying humans just doing their job.

* BossBanter: many bosses will say things when they reach 75%, 50% and 25% health.

* CardCarryingVillain: most of them, really.
--> ''Discord'': I'm incurable!
* ComputerVirus: the Nightmare sequences are based on Creepypasta games. While Miku and Meloetta fittingly fight dark-affiliated foes (Nightmare Pokémon Darkrai and Nightmare Moon, respectively) Pinkie, as per her MediumAwareness, gets to fight something else entirely: a computer virus who takes the form of a [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Met]] wearing PoweredArmor (possibly referencing their status as computer viruses in the ''Battle Network'' series). This is a nod to the creepypasta games that forcefully create unwanted files on your computer (the Luna Games are known to do that, for instance).
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: the whalers have this kind of vibe going on.
* {{Creepypasta}}: the Nightmare sequences reference creepypasta games, notably the infamous Luna Games. The game even goes as far as to forcefully create PNG files in your game folder, just like the Luna Games do.

* {{Demonization}}: while few would say whale poaching is a good thing, the evilness of Japanese whalers is significantly exaggerated in this game, almost to CardCarryingVillain levels. They are minions of [[BigBad Discord]], to begin with, and the Nisshin Maru even plans to [[IAmAHumanitarian sell Meloetta as food]]. This is necessary in order to justify the heroes blowing up their ships.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: the game uses the Pokémon weaknesses system and you can use notes you get from beating levels and bosses to buy some elemental attacks. It doesn't matter much on normal enemies, as they die in one hit (except for Meloetta, who can switch her Forme between Normal/Psychic and Normal/Fighting to mitigate damage dealt to her). It's useful on some bosses, however.
* EvilLaugh: many of the villains. Nightmare Moon gets a vocal one at the beginning of the battle against her, and Discord laughs every time he is about to attack.
* FakeDifficulty: if your display is not bright enough, it can be hard to make out the dark notes Discorded Miku fires from the equally dark background.
* FissionMailed: in the Nightmare chapter, both Miku and Meloetta are unavoidably killed by spikes. This is required for progression and takes you to the boss.
* GottaCatchThemAll: the notes, in order to [[spoiler:reform Discord]].

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: between Meloetta and Miku.

* MusicalAssassin: all the characters, though "assassin" may be a strong word. The actual effects of the musical attacks story-wise vary depending on the evilness of targets, they are implied to simply "calm down" furious Pokémon, but definitely destroy the whalers.
* NotDrawnToScale: either your characters are huge, or the whaling ships are very tiny. Especially blatant in Miku's case.

* PowerUpMotif: overlaps with ThemeMusicPowerUp. Every character sings a different song while using their super special. As the song ends, so does the attack.
* RazorWind: one of the attacks you can get, also used by some enemies and bosses.

* SonicStunner: the whalers' sirens.
* ShockAndAwe: one of the attacks you can get.
* StandardStatusEffects: numerous attacks from bosses don't inflict damage, but instead cause various unpleasant effects. The whalers' [[SonicStunner siren attacks]] drastically slow down movement, leaving you open to their harpoons. Kaa fires blasts that put Meloetta to sleep before trying to melee her. Darkrai uses his Dark Void ability, but because of his Bad Dreams effect this actually deals damage. Tickled Pink's tears severely reduce your resistance to her attacks.

* TheWallsAreClosingIn: in Meloetta's nightmare sequence.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: every character in the game has a different song or music that plays during their super special. When the super special is used, this music overrides whatever other theme was playing at the moment, even boss themes. For instance, Meloetta sings the "Relic Song", Miku sings her rendition of Ievan Polka, and Pinkie Pie sings "Giggle At The Ghostie".

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: in the true final battle against Discord, he can shapeshift into diverse Pokémon, gaining their strengths and weaknesses.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: [[ThatOneBoss Serperior]] and his master [[Disney/TheJungleBook Kaa]].

** Serperior is one to [[Disney/TheJungleBook Kaa]].

* TheDragon: Serperior is TheDragon to [[TheJungleBook Kaa]]. Darkrai is apparently TheDragon to Nightmare Moon (although they are both just illusions made by Discord). [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Splash Woman]] is TheDragon to Chrissa, and Dr. Wily is TheDragon to Discord.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: [[ThatOneBoss Serperior]] and his master [[TheJungleBook Kaa]].

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Meloetta can swim for an unlimited amount of time without even needing to breathe. So can [[MegaMan Splash Woman]], but of course she's intended for just that.

* SssssnakeTalk: Kaa.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Discord in this game does some deeds more evil than in his canon appearance. Notably, [[spoiler:he's responsible for turning the world of PuellaMagiMadokaMagica into a CrapsackWorld where magical girls are doomed to become witches, when it was originally supposed to be an innocent and friendly MagicalGirl world.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: Discord in this

* MostAnnoyingSound: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

* ThatOneBoss: the Serperior. That's right, the very first boss. The reason for that is because his razor leaf projectiles stick on screen for a long time, so it is all too possible to run into them trying to avoid his other attack. Better spend the note you get from the level before him to get an attack that [[ElementalRockPaperScissors exploits his weaknesses]] (Serperior is Grass, so get Fire or Poison).
** Whalers can be hard to get the hang of, since any mistake can send you tumbling into the sea [[SuperDrowningSkills and die instantly]].
