1	'''Basic Trope''': A song in a minor key that is used in a positive context or associated with a friendly/heroic character.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** "Party Song" is in the key of A Minor, and it's meant to be a fun song that's conducive to dancing.
4	** "Wonderful Man's Theme," the theme of the superhero Wonderful Man, is in D Minor, conveying his boldness and bravery.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** The party in which "Party Song" is played has a bittersweet tone. It's meant to be a celebration, but something sad happened just prior to the party.
8	** Wonderful Man is an AntiHero, so his theme song conveys that he's not necessarily a saint.
9	* '''Justified''': "Party Song" is klezmer music for a Jewish party.
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** Dr. Atrocious, Wonderful Man's archenemy, has a {{leitmotif}} in a major key.
12	*** Wonderful Man's theme is in a major key. (May be too common to trope.)
13	*** Dr. Atrocious's theme is in a minor key. (May be too common to trope.)
14	* '''Subverted''': Either of the two songs starts out in a minor key, but then switches to major key and stays that way.
15	* '''Double Subverted''': ???
16	* '''Parodied''': "Wonderful Man's Theme" sounds downright villainous. People InUniverse can hear his theme and call him out on it.
17	* '''Zig-Zagged''': The two songs jump back and forth between major and minor keys.
18	* '''Averted''': None of the music in the work is in a minor key.
19	* '''Enforced''': "Wonderful Man's Theme" was originally supposed to be in D Major, but the composer changed it to D Minor to make it sound more unique and powerful.

22	* '''Exploited''': ???
