Line #22 PlayingWith/ThemeMusicPowerUp


1	'''Basic Trope''': Character's theme music plays during their [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome most awesome moments]].
2	* '''Straight''': ActionGirl [[MeaningfulName Melody]] has a [[{{Leitmotif}} distinctive theme]] that kicks into high gear whenever she scores a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Everyone in Melody's series has a {{Leitmotif}} of their own, which plays whenever they do anything at all.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The same theme is played for all characters during their [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Moments of Awesome]], but a few characters receive a version edited to some degree for tempo, pitch etc, as is appropriate for their characterisation and situation.
5	* '''Justified''': Melody gets her power from a music box which gives Melody strength when it plays.
6	* '''Inverted''':
7	** [[TheRival Hymn's]] theme plays whenever she challenges Melody. She always loses.
8	** Same as above, except the one time Hymn's theme ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness doesn't]]'' play when she fights Melody, Hymn is [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass a significantly greater threat.]]
9	** ButtMonkey Flat has a quirky, off-key melody that always plays when he's [[TheChewToy getting humiliated again]].
10	* '''Subverted''':
11	** Melody's theme starts playing as she charges towards [[EvilCounterpart Hymn]]... [[TheDayTheMusicLied but her rival calmly deflects her into the nearest wall]].
12	** The music plays AFTER the beatdown starts.
13	* '''Double Subverted''': ...And then, as Hymn [[EvilGloating gloats over her victory]], her own {{Leitmotif}} segues into a dramatic remix of Melody's theme as she [[{{Determinator}} pulls herself back up]] and launches another attack.
14	* '''Parodied''':
15	** Melody's theme (which includes a dramatic OminousLatinChanting) plays whenever she does ''anything''... Even as simple as [[MundaneMadeAwesome making a sandwich]]. [[LargeHam In the most exaggerated fashion possible]].
16	** Melody's theme is quite absurd and outlandish, so [[SoundtrackDissonance it never matches the scene it's supposed to fit in]].
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Melody's power up music sometimes plays when she's about to turn the tide, sometimes when she's about to fail, and sometimes doesn't play when she's about to win because the composer wants to try a different track.
18	* '''Averted''': There is no background music in the show.
19	* '''Enforced''': "We want the kids to get excited whenever Melody is in a tough battle, so compose a stirring tune for when she's about to win."
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh no! Melody's leitmotif again! Better run!"
21	* '''Invoked''': Melody brings an mp3 player with her to get invincibility.
22	* '''Exploited''': The villain, who can transfer the trope to themselves, transfers Melody's theme to themselves to make the beatdown easier. In other words, "Your theme will only make me beating you up easier!"
23	* '''Defied''': The Dark Lord [[BigBad John Cage]] casts a spell of silence that prevents Melody from using her power up music.
24	* '''Discussed''': "And remember, if you hear Melody's leitmotif, she'll start kicking some villain butt"
25	* '''Conversed''': ???
26	* '''Played For Laughs''': Melody actually composed her own theme song and has it on her headset so she can cue it up when she thinks she's about to do something cool.
27	* '''Played For Drama''': Melody's theme song is a tune that was written by her mother for her before she died, and it plays whenever Melody needs her strength.
