History YMMV / LocoRoco

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Galanmar.

* ParanoiaFuel: In the first game. Remember the green top hat creature that stands in front of the [=MuiMui=] house? [[spoiler:He turns out to be the final boss. This means that the EvilOverlord of the Mojas has been watching your ''every move'' and biding his time since you ''started playing the game.'']]

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler:The tall, green creature standing in front of the Loco House in the first game is the BigBad]].

* TastesLikeDiabetes: So, ''so'' much.

* SurpriseDifficulty: In ''Midnight Carnival''.

** For anyone who has tried to collect all Pickories in every level, mentioning World 3 Level 4 might trigger some PTSD. This is largely in part due to the last section of the stage where the [=LocoRoco=] are stuck in a tight elevator and are quickly moved across the area past a couple dozen Pickories. Timing your jumps is hard enough in this tight space, but if you miss even one? Start the entire stage over, finding all the other Pickories again just in the hopes that you’ll get lucky with the elevator this time. Expect a broken controller or two.

%%* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was a commercial failure in Japan.

* ThatOneLevel: The unlockable ''[=LocoRoco 2=]'' level, "[=BuiBui=] Fort 3", as in ''[[SpikesOfDoom spike pits]] '''everywhere'''.'' Suddenly, the otherwise rarely seen "game over" screen makes more appearances.

* NonSingingVoice: Kulche and Chavez both have different 2 voice actors, depending on if they talk or sing. (Although Budzi has 2 different voice actors too with the second one singing the chorus only)

* EarWorm: All over the place. Almost every song. If you haven't noticed it already.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was a commercial failure in Japan.

* NintendoHard: Averted with the main games, but played straight with ''Midnight Carnival''.

* SurpriseDifficulty: In ''Midnight Carnival''.
* TastesLikeDiabetes: So, ''so'' much.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Galanmar.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Several, mainly anything in the final level of the second game, such as [[spoiler:Majoline's launching of her bomb and the subsequent collaborative effort between the [=LocoRoco=] planet and its inhabitants to send it right back at her.]]
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The ending to the [[spoiler:second time you face Bonmucho]] in the second game. [[spoiler:He ends up falling on several pointy objects after you send him flying, and then subsequently bounces away to his mother.]]
** What about the first fight in 2? [[spoiler:He attempts to transform into his super powerful Mutated form, but he hits his head on the ceiling and is instantly downed.]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: See also EarWorm. Take your pick. Singing Simlish has never sounded so cool.
** And now so much awesome [[AwesomeMusic/LocoRoco it now has it's own page.]]

* EarWorm - All over the place. Almost every song. If you haven't noticed it already.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff - It was a commercial failure in Japan.
* IAmNotShazam - In case anyone is fooled by a [=MuiMui's=] opening speech, the [=LocoRoco=] are a species, and each of the different colors has their own name. For example the yellow [=LocoRoco=] is named Kulche.
* NintendoHard - Averted with the main games, but played straight with Midnight carnival.

* ViewerGenderConfusion - Galanmar

* EvenBetterSequel: The original ''[=LocoRoco=]'' is already a fun and quirky game, but ''LocoRoco 2'' is vastly improved; levels are separated into different regions instead of being randomly scattered around, so it's easier to find levels, the [=MuiMui=] House was changed from a MiniGame in which AnInteriorDesignerIsYou (sort of, it's really more of a mini level maker than a house decorator) where you can unlock new items for the [=MuiMui=] House to let you get ''more'' items for it to a different AnInteriorDesignerIsYou game (sans the ability to place furniture where you want) that lets you unlock new levels, and the little sequences where the [=LocoRoco=] split up and sing are turned into a [[RhythmGame rhythm]] MiniGame, among others.

* FanNickname: ''Midnight Carnival'' is often called ''Nightmare Carnival'' due to its difficulty.

** What about the first fight in 2? [[spoiler: He attempts to transform into his super powerful Mutated form, but he hits his head on the ceiling and is instantly pwnd.]]

* UnfortunateImplications: The villains are all black with dreadlocks or afro-style hair, and their voices and music match this.

* NintendoHard - ''Heavily'' averted with the main games, but played straight with Midnight carnival.
