History VideoGame / Transformice

* LuckBasedMission: Your success in most of the collision maps depends entirely on where you spawn in the mouse pile and/or lag at any point. Most levels are also impossible to finish if you happen to get a shaman who doesn't know what to do.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The titles "Princess of Transformice" and "Shaman Princess"

*** A large number of user-made maps feature Pokémon, among them Vanillite, Cherubi, Charmander, Magnemite, Unown, Weedle, Beedrill, Chimchar, Bellossom, and Parasect. Another map depicts Ash Ketchum and a series of lightning bolts.

*** The shop has Ash's hat, a Pokémon egg shell hat, and a reskin that changes a shaman's beach balls into Poké Balls.

** You can use cheese coins to buy accessories for your mouse in the shop, such as hats, wigs, contact lenses, and tail decorations, with the most expensive being furs that change your mouse's fur color and pattern. Because it takes a long time to rack up enough cheese to buy things, wearing a lot of accessories is usually a sign that a player is a Transformice veteran.

* HeavySleeper: The Groundhog Day event revolves around waking up a hibernating mouse named Charlotte by yelling her name in the chat One .

*** Several maps feature Pokémon, among them Vanillite, Cherubi, Charmander, Magnemite, Unown, Weedle, Beedrill, Chimchar, Bellossom, and Parasect. Another map depicts Ash Ketchum and a series of lightning bolts.

*** Two of the available consumables are Jigglypuff's microphone and a dragon pet that looks like Dragonair.

** Cannonballs are supposed to be used for knocking down obstacles, but are frequently used by Shamans to blast troublemaking mice off the map.

* DarkIsNotEvil: You can dress up your mouse with the creepiest accessories imaginable--black fur, a SinisterScythe, a spiky helmet, and a spider-shaped earring, for example--and still be a kind, helpful shaman at the end of the day.

** Unlocking Divine Mode gives your mouse permanent cosmetic wings. They don't do anything, but they look ''very'' cool.

* RealIsBrown: The default look for every player is a little brown mouse. During gameplay, players wearing lighter-colored furs have the advantage of being easy to locate quickly in a crowd of similar-looking brown mice.

*** The title "Pumpkin Juice" is available from the Halloween 2017 event.

*** Several maps feature Pokémon, among them Vanillite, Cherubi, Charmander, Magnemite, Unown, Weedle, Beedrill, Chimchar, and Parasect. Another map depicts Ash Ketchum and a series of lightning bolts.

* VictoryPose: The /dance command, [[CaptainObvious which makes your mouse do a little dance]], can be used for this effect.

** You can use cheese coins to buy accessories for your mouse in the shop, such as hats, wigs, contact lenses, and tail decorations, with the most expensive being furs that change your mouse's fur color and pattern. Because it takes a long time to rack up enough cheese coins to buy things, wearing a lot of accessories is usually a sign that a player is a Transformice veteran.
** The default color of shaman fur markings is light blue. But after unlocking Hard Mode by saving 1000 mice, you can change the markings of your shaman to any color you like. Different colored markings on a shaman are definitely a sign of experience, since access to Hard Mode can't be bought with cheese coins.

** Opportunist, which makes you automatically win the round when the last mouse enters the hole. Great for getting saves and saving time, but it also means ''you'' don't get to enter the hole with your cheese[[note]]a shaman can't enter the hole with cheese until all the mice in a round are either saved or dead[[/note]], which means no cheese for you. Not so bad when you're playing on a map with 20+ people, but when you're cheese-farming with 2 or 3 friends, it reduces your cheese intake significantly.

* HeroicSacrifice: Some Shamans choose to spend the last few seconds of the round helping the remaining mice get into the hole, sacrificing their own chances at getting the cheese. Less scrupulous ones just blast them off the map with cannonballs.

* NiceHat: Quite a few. A Soviet-looking CommissarCap among them.

** The Wizard 2017 event revolves around collecting resources to build a wizard school called [[Literature/HarryPotter Hograts.]]

** On the non-skill side of things, some of the larger accessories look cool, but are so big that they block your view of the cheese on the mouse's back during gameplay, so you can't see if your mouse actually has the cheese or not. Slightly mitigated if you turn on the sound; getting the cheese makes an audible "poof" noise.

** The default color of shaman fur markings is light blue. But after unlocking Hard Mode by saving 1000 mice, you can change the markings of your shaman to any color you like. Similar to the above example with accessories, if you see a shaman with differently-colored markings, it's a sign that they are experienced.

** The Clean Mouse skill, which spawns a bubble that functions like a balloon when a mouse dies. Useful in theory, but when a bubble actually appears, it's almost always swarmed by several mice at once, which causes it to pop (and take the mice with it, if it was floating over a bottomless pit). For this reason, having Clean Mouse is usually discouraged, though it can still be useful in some situations.
** The Big Shaman skill, which increases your shaman's size. It makes you [[LargeAndInCharge easy to see and follow,]] but also makes it easier to [[HelpImStuck get stuck in small spaces]] or hit with cannonballs by other shamans.

* RealIsBrown: The default look for every player is a little brown mouse. During gameplay, light-colored furs or large accessories give the advantage of helping a player locate their mouse quickly in a crowd of similar-looking brown mice.

* HumanPopsicle: Shamans can kill off mice by freezing them in ice cubes, usually to punish them for trolling. Or just because they feel like it.

* PowerGivesYouWings: The "Angel" skill, the highest-tier ability in the Wind Master skill tree, allows a shaman to deploy wings that can help them glide or slow their descent.

** You can use cheese coins to buy accessories for your mouse in the shop, such as hats, wigs, contact lenses, tail decorations, and furs. Because it takes a long time to rack up enough cheese coins to buy things, wearing a lot of accessories is usually a sign that a player is a Transformice veteran.
