40----
41!!His Let's Plays and other videos provide examples of:
42
43* AbortedArc: His Sonic Advance 2 LP
44* AndAllIGotWasThisLousyTShirt: From Episode 1 of Zero Mission: "I committed mass genocide and all I got was this lousy t-shirt".
45* {{Angrish}}: "You flipping-dipping poop pants!" is one of the many examples of this trope Roy demonstrates.
46* ArcNumber: 725. Some of his shorter videos are 7:25, and apparently his birthday is July 25th.
47* ArtificialStupidity: Accuses Swampy of this whenver something goes wrong, or when Swampy does something Roy doesn't want him to do.
48* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: During Red Rescue Team this would happen whenever Roy saw ANY item.
49* BerserkButton: In Magma Cavern he starts freaking out due to the ArtificialStupidity and poison, with no solution to the point where it breaks him, both physically and mentally. [[note]]WordOfGod says doing the whole recording got him sick for a week.[[/note]]
50** [[http://youtu.be/XNNHOMNjXJY?t=4m2s He also doesn't take his emulator crashing very well]]
51--> "[[GoshDangItToHeck Aw butt.]]"
52--> *{{Beat}}*
53--> [[MadnessMantra "Sometimes, you can't win.]]" *sighs* "Sometimes, sometimes you can't win. You just can't, you just can't win. Y'know, sometimes you can't [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] win. Ah my [[CurseCutShort f-awwgh]]. Sometimes, I like to think that you can't win. Sometimes, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext when I'm alone, I vaseline,]] [[{{Angrish}} butt fudge]]. See-" *sighs*.
54* BigNo:
55** When [[spoiler:Swampy dies in Silent Chasm]] Roy treats us to a chipmunk-styled "NO".
56** After [[spoiler:Roy fails at the tennis machine by 2 Points]] Roy treats us to a nice "NO".
57* BlahBlahBlah: Whenever the text scrolls too fast or he just doesn't care, he basically does this.
58* BlatantLies: Somehow, he convinced Poz during Metroid Fusion that the ARC sector was the sky world, when it was actually the ice world.
59* BornLucky: Out of the 30ish people called up to play at LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys' Thrown Controllers Panel, he gets called up to play and actually won one round.
60* BorrowedCatchphrase: He borrows LetsPlay/NakaTeleeli's catchphrase of "Welcome back to [[TitleDrop Kirby]] [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror and the Amazing Mirror]]! Why is it so amazing? Because..."
61* BreakingTheFourthWall: "Skype, shut up" sums up the whole situation pretty nicely.
62* BriefAccentImitation: Quite Often.
63* CampGay: One Word: Wigglytuff.
64* CatchPhrase: He uses many different catchphrases including, but limited to:
65** "Hey guys it's 725roy!"
66** "I call 'em Gauntlets!"
67** "The next morning!"
68** "Cuz y'know..."
69** [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere "Just say no!"]][[note]]With the occasional [[ArtificialStupidity "JUST SAY NO SWAMPY!"]][[/note]]
70** "...So that's pretty cool."
71* CallBack:
72** During Poz's Metroid Fusion LP, Roy references his Blind LP of Super Metroid by commenting "At least it isn't tilting..."
73** In the second episode of Power Tour, he says "The following morning" in a similar way he said "The next morning".
74* ChewingTheScenery: "IT'S TILTING!" from the first episode of Super Metroid and "THE SCREEN IS SHAKING" from the finale.
75* CliffHanger: He seems to be pretty fond of these, and often uses them before certain bosses.
76* ContentWarnings: "So much flashing it's inducing seizures. Better not watch it, kids under 6!" from the premier of Amazing Mirror.
77* CurbStompBattle: Almost every boss in Amazing Mirror excluding Mega Titan and [[spoiler: Dark Mind]], in contrast, almost every boss does this to him on the first fight with said boss in Super Metroid.
78** Also the tennis matches against Sophia and Mason, Roy aces them both 5 times out of the 8 serves that he served, and returns almost all of the serves for winners.
79* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: At the beginning of Episode 12 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Roy points out how much he likes the music that is playing via on screen text, and then compliments the music again right before entering the dungeon.
80* {{Determinator}}: With only 43 Missiles, 24 Super Missiles, and 782 units of energy [[note]]which is HALF of the amount of health recommended[[/note]], after 4 HOURS, Roy beats Ridley, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything and then proceeds to rejoice.]]
81--> "I started recording at 11:30... It's now 3."
82* EnragedByIdiocy: Roy gets VERY upset when the AI does something stupid.
83* EpicFail: He dies on [[spoiler:WISPY WOODS]] on Kirby's Dreamland. Supposedly in his failed recording, he did WORSE.
84* FourIsDeath: By the end of Sky Tower in Red Rescue Team, Roy had exactly 4444 Poke. [[spoiler:Ironically, he didn't die during the Rayquaza fight, but rather in Stormy Sea]].
85* FreezeFrameBonus: Doubles as a [[ShoutOut Shout Out]], in episode 9 of Power Tour, at approximately 1:43, the words, [[LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} "CAT PLANET! *DINK*".]] It's also worth noting that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJfPjxADMfE Sand Canyon 1 music is playing.]]
86* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the finale of Super Metroid, screams can be heard in the background right as the credits start to roll. Roy, Poz and Matt all hear this and proceed to laugh.
87* GenreSavvy: But not TOO genre savvy. Namely, his Metroid savviness shows more or less in Super Metroid.
88* GetOnWithIt: His reveal of his Red Rescue Team LP was like this wasting a full minute recapping all the clues.
89* GigglingVillain: Occasionally during Metroid Fusion, especially when he's "helping" Poz.
90* GoshDangItToHeck: Too flipping much.
91** [[LampshadeHanging "Pretty gosh darn easy...]] [[Website/TVTropes well TvTropes, person who made my page,]] [[ShoutOut Gosh Dang it To Heck!]]"
92* HeliumSpeech: Whenever Roy has to speed up going through a dungeon, he generally resorts to using this tactics, often producing hilarious sounding content.
93--> [[LampshadeHanging "I'm a chipmunk"]] [[note]]Noted on-screen while play his video at a super fast speed[[/note]]
94* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The titles of the episodes where Roy goes to Mt. Thunder, Mt. Blaze, and Frosty Forest are named around an adjective related to the mountain and a synonym of anger. [[note]](Thunderous Rage, Blazing Fury, and Frosty Malice)[[/note]]
95* IncrediblyLamePun: So many...
96** "Holy Moley!"
97--> [[LampshadeHanging Why did I say that? That's going to be the video title isn't it! ]]
98** "I Guess you could say this house is BERRY well built" [[note]](In reference to seeing his base for the first time in Red Rescue Team)[[/note]]
99** "You can take a Rhydon my big green tractor."
100** "I like tubes, they're totally tubular!"
101** "I guess you could say it's a real FOUR PAW"
102* LampshadeHanging: Roy provides HEAVY amounts of this.
103* LargeHam: Without a doubt.
104* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: PlayedForLaughs in Metroid Fusion
105* [[PerformanceAnxiety Let's Play Curse]]: In the first episode of Amazing Mirror, Roy fails and then tells the view he practiced, literally 5 MINUTES before he started recording.
106* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Matt's quote "No I want an Arcanine, I don't want a Charizard" in the Finale of Super Metroid. Everyone proceeds to crack up.
107* MoodSwinger: Like crazy in Magma Cavern, especially during his "breakdown".
108* Mystical108: The amount of swings Roy does and the Practice Lake.
109--> "Are we gonna die 'cause I got 108 swings?"
110* NeverMyFault: In Episode 3 of Amazing Mirror, he blames the video quality on the viewer's eyesight.
111* OhCrap: Roy says this quite often.
112* OldShame: He considers anything before [[VideoGame/KirbyandtheAmazingMirror Amazing Mirror]] to be just awful.
113* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "Easiest. Boss. Ever."
114* RunningGag: His Game Over counter in Super Metroid. [[note]]Which leveled out at 67 Game Overs.[[/note]]
115** Also the not-as-accurate Luma Suicide Count from Super Mario Galaxy Versus
116** The Game Over counter appears to have returned for Zero Mission, this time with pictures of Schir holding up a piece of paper with the number on it.
117* SarcasticClapping: All the time, especially in Metroid Fusion.
118* SelfDeprecation: Happens quite often.
119* SequenceBreaking: Happens quite a bit in Amazing Mirror.
120** He tried doing this in Zero Mission. So far, it hasn't really worked out for him.
121* SeriousBusiness: Apparently he believes [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries card games]] are serious business.
122* ShipperOnDeck: He ships Samus and Draygon, and that's not even the weirdest shipping he does.
123** According to {{LetsPlay/TheBestWorstPokemonPlatinumLetsPlay}} he ships [[{{LetsPlay/FireEmblem237}} Tanner]] and [[{{LetsPlay/Poz159}} Eric]]
124* SiblingRivalry: With Tim
125* StealthPun: Episode 9 of Power Tour is named "I Screwed Up" which is meant to reference the fact that he failed miserably at [[ThatOneLevel Jump Gym]], but it's also worth noting that he also does his favorite minigame, Swift Spin, which involves riding screws up and down.
126* SublimeRhyme: "Don't go away, Roy will be back, another day!"
127* TakeThat: To his hometown of Minneapolis with his constant complaining of the cold.
128--> "It's so cold... just like Minnesota."
129* TheXOfY: "Into the dune of dusty!"
130* UnusualEuphemism: "That was easy as peasy"
131* VocalDissonance: Rayquaza certainly doesn't sound like what you'd expect it to sound like...
132** Whisker and Paula. Just Whisker and Paula.
133* WallOfBlather
134* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Kid Magnemite's Friend?]]
