History Website / Fantendo

* ArtEvolution: The bar for both visual art and article presentation has raised substantially since the wiki started. Imitating Nintendo renders was the sought-after style at the turn of the [[UsefulNotes/TheNewTens decade]], be it by [[PaletteSwap recoloring the renders directly]], making more sophisticated image edits, using 3D shapes in Microsoft [=PowerPoint=], or designing bizarre [[{{UsefulNotes/Mii}} Mii]] heads as a base.[[note]]These images would also see the most use offsite due to showing up in Google Image Search.[[/note]] While there are still talented image editors on the wiki, the current trend has been digitally drawing characters and other elements in 2D, causing many users to improve their own art skills with practice. Articles themselves have gotten increasingly stylized, with authors squeezing as much graphic design potential as possible out of custom wikitext formatting and CSS rules not hardcoded into the Fandom skin.

* BlandNameProduct: The [[ShoehornedAcronym Fantendo Fanon Federation]] served as the site's equivalent to [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]].

** The LogicalExtreme for the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS family is some sort of four- or higher-dimensional handheld, an idea that has been posed multiple times. The DS-2000 goes up to stereoscopic 6D, [[YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm whatever that would look like]].

* RealTrailerFakeMovie: It is common, especially during the "showcase" events that take after [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]], to script out game trailers and presentations to hype up media that will only exist as a wiki article.

* RevisitingTheRoots: The Paper Mario RECUT trilogy (remade versions ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'') are the three games redone to follow ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', namely deeper plots, more characterization and designs and a partner system.

* RevistingTheRoots: The Paper Mario RECUT trilogy (remade versions ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioSplash'') are the three games redone to follow ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', namely deeper plots, more characterization and designs and a partner system.]]

* GameMusic: More rarely included on articles, ranging from Website/YouTube uploads of existing music, to the occasional original composition or soundtrack.

* PaletteSwap: Especially in the wiki's early years, many well-known fan characters were created by palette-swapping Nintendo renders and adding details to taste. Whereas Unten didn't get into the first ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' game back in 2009, several recolors did--chief among them the particularly illustrative [=RedYoshi=], a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin red Yoshi]] character. These days, recolors are viewed with more derision, but it's not ''purely'' due to ArtEvolution. At one point, thousands of recolors from [[{{Website/GoAnimate}} Vyond]] started flooding the image search results despite being unused on wiki articles, which prompted debate and special administrative response to deal with.

** The Misfits group is openly inspired by the Franchise/XMen.

* {{Continuation}}: Just about every sufficiently well-known Nintendo series has attracted ideas for new games. In addition to new plot ideas, many users describe new mechanics and features to brainstorm how the series can carry on and evolve from a gameplay perspective. Popular games like ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Super Mario Odyssey]]'' garner lots of focused story expansions. Fandom's page popularity rankings tend to skew toward these, as other fans search for unannounced sequels and find Fantendo articles in lieu of game news. Continuations for a specific work may be listed on a category page, or rarely, a "canon game" article created as a directory for this content.

* PoisonMushroom: Several inspired by the ''VideoGame/SuperMario'' series.

* TheWikiRule[[invoked]]: As it turns out, even if it [[FictionalMedia doesn't exist]], there's a wiki for it.

* WishFulfillment: A big draw for the site. Ever dream of being a game designer, especially at Nintendo, but you have more experience editing [[TheWikiRule fan wikis]][[invoked]] than patience to make a real fangame?

* MakeMeWannaShout: The Inkling character Gary has [[RequiredSecondaryPowers special vocal cords]] that let him raise his voice to 130 decibels. They are strongest after vocal exercises and [[LogicalWeakness overuse can damage his throat]]. Gary may also [[PowerIncontinence lose control of his volume]] when panicked or angry.

* LongTitle: Unten's home series is usually called ''That One Series With a Long and Uninteresting Name That I Do Not Wish to Remember''.

Now despite the site's innocent concept, it's grown infamous for it's extremely toxic community, bizarre and gross articles, and various NSFW incidents and controversies. So in all honesty It's an insane rabbit hole ... In fact one of the reasons "Fantendo" is so infamous In Internet culture is because of a specific incident which happened somewhere in 2020 where a user who went by the name of "Exotoro" who was accused of sexually harassing a child through private DM's 2 days right after she became a admin for the site and what made this event even worse is the fact that the user being "Exotoro" was already known for being a b!tch before the accident took place due to the fact that she would constantly start flame wars and bully people who were just trying to have fun in the community. Btw Exotoro admitted to the community herself coming forward stating that she forcefuly but the minor in sexual situations. Now, the exact happenings of their chats and how severe things got is unknown, and I doubt we ever will know. However, Exotoro admitted to having done wrong and voluntarily stepped down from moderation However, the other moderators refused to ban her or anything, insisting that she wouldn't do anything bad anymore. A LOT of people were outraged over this, in addition to the rather incompetent moderation in general, and a ton of people left the site in disgust ...

* ''WebOriginal/Centennials''

** Patterned after {{Wiki/Wikipedia}} (Japanese: ウィキペディア, ''Wikipedia'') and other wikis' articles on Nintendo games, many fangame pages try to provide Japanese adaptations and transliterations of names, even though more of the userbase seems proficient with European languages.

** Yvan accepts changing his name to [=TaBooki=] after his LiteralTransformativeExperience.

* LightningCanDoAnything: Gives Yvan a LiteralTransformativeExperience into [=TaBooki=] when he simultaneously touches a Super Leaf, causing an [[PowerGlows explosion of light]] in the process.

* {{Doorstopper}}: As of early 2022, the wiki has eight pages that are over a million bytes long. Many of them are subpages, split from their main articles due to their length, and so don't give the full scope of a project on their own. The longest page is a story mode transcript that, if printed with 300 words per page, would clock in at over one thousand pages. It is just one of 23 subpages of its main article. Three of its subpage siblings have also cracked 100,000 bytes (with their main article at 99,000).

* BalefulPolymorph: Doomulus Thunderine developed the Beorn Beam ability, which transforms its target into a Beorn, thus limiting their established abilities.

* {{Animorphism}}: Tai Z. Takara is able to transform into Tigzon the [=TigerStar=], an anthropomorphic tiger-fox hybrid. Through the same power, Noora Natsumi can turn into her demon-like spirit companion Nightless, and Yami Zu can become a human-cat hybrid named Meko.

** The Titans in the Fantendoverse are rendered in a different, sketch-like style that makes them appear wiry.

** The 1-Down Mushroom is the opposite of a OneUp. The concept clearly intrigued some readers, spawning the 3-Down and 5-Down Mushroom, which confirm that [[NonStandardGameOver collecting these with too few extra lives]] could cause an instant GameOver.
