History YMMV / FelixTheCat

** a minor one exists with [[''VideoGame/Bubsy'' Bubsy]], as there are a respectable amount of fanarts with the two together, some of these fans being a fan of both really helps, Felix the Cat fans might be even the least cruel (and be the easiest to get along with) to Bubsy fans.

** Poindexter, in stark contrast to how [[WarmupBoss ridiculously easy he is to fight in 1-3]], is much harder in the rematch with him in 7-2 without power-ups. His giant snowballs are very hard to dodge, and he constantly throws them and keeps a couple on screen at once, so unless you have their pattern down and have extremely quick reflexes, you will get overwhelmed in a hurry. While you can jump on them, it's very easy to fall off them or unwittingly collide into Poindexter if you stick around on them, and you can accidentally buffet Felix into the snowballs if you don't ''precisely'' land on top of them. He's not quite as hard as the Master Cylinder encounters, but the fight with him can still be a serious pain in the ass.

** Fans of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' tend to be fond of Felix, as one of the inspirations for Sonic's design was none other than Felix. Plenty of fanart exists acknowledging this connection.

* MyRealDaddy: While the bulk of the franchise up to the TV shorts attributes Felix as a creation of cartoonist Pat Sullivan, almost everybody today recognizes Creator/OttoMessmer as the real person behind Felix's creation and success, especially once information came to light that Sullivan had virtually nothing to do with creating Felix, or making the Felix cartoons (according to Hal Walker, one of the original artists on the silent cartoons, he was barely ever present at his own studio). The credits for ''The Twisted Tales of Felix'' go as far as to credit both Otto Messmer ''and'' Joe Oriolo as the creators of Felix, but [[UnPerson completely leaves out mentioning Pat Sullivan]].

* BrokenBase: The reception of the post-silent era Felix cartoons are contested among the fanbase, particularly in regards to the [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatJoeOriolo TV-era Felix cartoons]] and [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie the movie adaptation based on it.]] Some fans champion the Silent cartoons as untouchable masterpieces and consider the Trans-Lux Felix (and, to a lesser degree, [[StillbornFranchise the very short lived Van Beuren Felix]]) to be where the series declined in quality, while some nostalgic fans unapologetically love the Van Beuren and TV Felix cartoons and consider the silent shorts [[ValuesDissonance to be mostly dated and boring.]] ''Twisted Tales of Felix'', for better or worse, tends to land somewhere in the middle in reception.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While Felix is still modestly popular in the US, he is ''very'' popular in Japan to this day since the '50s TV series aired there in the early '60s, to the point that an entire spinoff, ''Baby Felix and Friends'', was made for that country. Also Felix served inspiration for Suihō Tagawa to create a black dog named Norakuro.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The NES game, released very late into the system's lifespan, pushes the aging 1983-era hardware to its limit, with a rich color palette and detailed animation for Felix, NPCs and backgrounds.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The Hudson Soft video game adaptation is a surprisingly enjoyable Mario clone, with fun gameplay and appealing graphics and music, with its only real flaw being its very easy difficulty (unless you're attempting a MinimalistRun and PacifistRun, which makes the game significantly harder), an underwhelming final world and very easy final boss. The same cannot be said for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis [[https://youtu.be/pqbuW7KPVaM?t=7m22s bootleg of it]], however, which is a PortingDisaster with bad controls, and inexplicably features a [[NightmareFuel frightening game over screen]] where Felix ''rips his face off''.

* CanonDefilement: The infamous GameOver screen of the Sega Genesis bootleg tainted the character for ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'' and ''Music/SiIvaGunner'' fans. Just look for the comments that say "[[MemeticMutation нет]]" on any Felix Website/YouTube video.

* MemeticMutation: Нет. WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Joel was playing a Russian bootlegged version of the game and selected нет, meaning no, on the continue screen, leading to a rather gory game over screen featuring Felix tearing his face off, revealing his skull, and standing in a pool of blood. This was later expanded upon by Music/SiIvaGunner, who played a sick and cruel joke based on the game over screen as a rip of the song “Rhythm Code” from ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' that shows a harlequin baby when “нет” is selected. The bootleg and the ''Kirby'' song are often linked with Felix himself to those in the Vinesauce and [=SiIvaGunner=] community.

* NightmareFuel: The Game Over screen in the Sega Genesis bootleg version is a particularly brutal example of SurprisinglyCreepyMoment. When you lose all of your lives, you are taken to a continue screen featuring Felix in a FluffyCloudHeaven, exactly the sort of thing you would expect from a game like this. Except, when you click "no" (or rather its Russian equivalent), you are treated to a shot of '''''Felix having torn his face off and standing in a pool of his own blood'''''. The reaction that Joel from Vinesauce had to it sums it up.
--> "'''WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!'''"

* PortingDisaster:
** The Game Boy version of the game axes out more than half of the levels, has very cramped and simplified level design, lots of slowdown, [[HitboxDissonance bizarre hit detection]], and it makes the game even ''easier'' than the NES version.
** The Sega Genesis bootleg port looks identical to the original game, but the gameplay is mangled by badly ported controls, and the bootleg lacked bosses.

** Poindexter, in stark contrast to how [[WarmUpBoss ridiculously easy he is to fight in 1-3]], is much harder in the rematch with him in 7-2 without power-ups. His giant snowballs are very hard to dodge, and he constantly throws them and keeps a couple on screen at once, so unless you have their pattern down and have extremely quick reflexes, you will get overwhelmed in a hurry. While you can jump on them, it's very easy to fall off them or unwittingly collide into Poindexter if you stick around on them, and you can accidentally buffet Felix into the snowballs if you don't ''precisely'' land on top of them.

* CondemnedByHistory: Downplayed, while the game is still well-liked, it wasn't the same when the Sega Genesis bootleg port's game over screen drove some people away.

* MemeAcknowledgement: Inverted with the Felix the Cat fans when it comes with HET, most Felix The Cat fans hated this meme.

* RonTheDeathEater: Because of the Sega Genesis bootleg's game over screen, some people consider Felix the Cat as evil, even [[spoiler: one went far '''TO TURN HIM''' '''[[VideoGame/GrandDadReboot INTO A LARGE, PUPIL-LESS FLOATING HEAD''']]
