1''Advent of the SMLPS'' was an UsefulNotes/RPGMaker series created by [=Countbleck479=]. There are three games, currently. The first game is finished, but is being remastered in RPG Maker VX Ace. The second game is finished, and is being tested by forum admin Sausagefanclub. The third game is in development.
2
3The first game takes place in the Sausage MLP Forums, where a villain named [[BigBad Valstriros]] took over the forum and also took control of the active users. Two users who had just joined named [=Cryptghast152=] and [=Exava847=] must stop him. The third game actually gives Valstriros his own set of baddies.

5The games were originally hosted [[http://sausagemlpforums.punbb-hosting.com/ here.]] However, the website went down years ago, and it is unclear if they were preserved anywhere else.

7!!This game contains examples of:
8* AffablyEvil: Nintendoandfriends, when possessed. [[spoiler: Samnrak could qualify.]]
9* AlternateTimeline: [[spoiler: In the Advent 2 Deluxe version otnayupidstay’s creating, CryptGhast and Exava are defeated,]] which leads up to a different game also created by otnayupidstay called The Journey.
10* AwesomeButImpractical: New Year's Eve Bombs in game 2, which can reduce any enemy's HP to one. Sausagefanclub only sells these after you've beaten the game (And talked to him twice) for the ridiculous price of 999001 bits, and they only have a 5% success rate.
11* AWinnerIsYou: Sausagefanclub quotes this trope exactly if you talk to him after beating the game.
12* BaitAndSwitchBoss: In one of the Colossi areas, it seems like you’re about to fight a Malamar, but Sinistar appears and immediately eats the Malamar.
13* BerserkButton: Whenever someone says "chortle" around the Count, he gets pretty darn angry.
14* BewareTheNiceOnes: Christie. She acts like a sweet little girl - but when you don't want to play with her, she becomes a freaking demon.
15* BigBad: Valstriros in games 1 and 2, [[spoiler: Xarpid in game 3. Whether he was pulling the strings in games 1 and 2 is unknown.]]
16* BonusLevel: The Graveyard, Vampire Village, [[spoiler: The Planes of Dementia,]] and the Seven Jewels stages.
17* BossCorridor: Valstriros's Lair in game 2.
18* BossInMookClothing: Jupiter Sparks, in all the games they appear in. Tons of HP, hard-hitting, and can instakill you, if you're not careful. Thankfully, it's only a 5% chance for an instakill, and they're rare.
19* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The forum members.
20* BreakingTheFourthWall: Exava does this often. So does the Count. [[spoiler: Exava even uses this skill in the Jewels sidequest so you can get the final Jewel.]]
21* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[spoiler: Irnbrox.]] The Count definitely qualifies, as well as otnayupidstay [[spoiler: especially in the Dementia sidequest.]]
22* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Definitely the "battle" against Xarpid from the 3rd game. Both phases of it, with Xarpid winning first, and then the Count coming and utterly destroying the {{Big Bad}}.]]
23* ADayInTheLimelight: The deluxe version of Advent 2 otnayupidstay’s creating features this, [[spoiler: as well as the 3rd game postgame.]]
24* DefeatMeansFriendship:
25** Most of the forumers, although some of them may hold a grudge against you[[spoiler: (the Count being the prime example of this due to his sidequest).]]
26** [[spoiler: This is sort of the case if you go back to stages after beating Xarpid(excluding Xarpid’s Lair, for obvious reasons). If you manage to beat the boss there, he/she/it’ll head back to the Lair and you can challenge them again and/or talk to them. Eventually, they’ll give you a letter that’s the key to the Extra Mode file, and once you get all the letters in the right order, you unlock the password for it! (Quick warning: Extra mode is brutally punishing.)]]
27* DemonicPossession: Valstriros does this to pretty much all the forum members.
28* DevelopersForesight: If you manage to talk to one of the forumers in the lair [[spoiler: while said forumer is already in your party]], they will have a unique dialogue exclusive to them [[spoiler: meeting themselves.]]
29* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Valstriros from games 2 and 3.]]
30* DiscOneFinalDungeon: [[spoiler: Valstriros's Lair from games 2 and 3.]]
31* DiscOneNuke: Shade from game 1 and Saint from game 2.
32* DualBoss:
33** The first otnay fight from Advent 1. Featuring Sentry Mark III.
34** Krunicus and the Free Bird qualify if you consider Free Bird a "boss".
35** [[spoiler: Nenico and M.A.T.D.A.K.]]
36** [[spoiler: The Twins at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials.]]
37* DuelBoss: [[spoiler: Xarpid VS the Count.]]
38* EldritchAbomination:
39** All the bosses in the Count's sidequest [[spoiler: including Colossus Count himself.]]
40** [[spoiler: Chaos, the final boss of Dementia, is one.]]
41* EldritchLocation: Doom Dimension, Irnbrox's stage from the 3rd game. The Forum Depths also qualifies.
42* EvilKnockoff: The bosses of the Ruins are duplicates of Cryptghast and Exava, except with different skills.
43%%zce* FauxAffa blyEvil: Valstriros and the Count(when possessed).
44* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: [[spoiler: The Xarpid "fight" before the Valstriros fight. Of course, right after that, the Count appears and kicks Xarpid’s ass.]]
45%%zce* FaceHe elTurn: This repeatedly happens to the forumers. [[spoiler: Also happens to Mightymetagross permanently in the 3rd game.]]
46%%zce* Final Boss: Valstriros in game 1, [[spoiler: Valstriros EX in game 2 and Xarpid in game 3.]]
47%%zce* HeelFa ceTurn: [[spoiler: Valstriros near the end of game 3... somewhat.]]
48* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Splatkirby. Literally the only thing he “says” is “...” [[spoiler:unless you talk to him after beating the second game. He happens to have a relative you can get as a party member that's also silent.]]
49%%zce* Ice Queen: Mightymetagross.
50%%zce* InfinityMinus OneSword: The Admin Sword in game 1.
51%%zce* InfinityPlus OneSword: [[spoiler: The Galacta Lance in game 1.]]
52* LastDitchMove: [[spoiler: Dimentio's Parent Killer, Giygas’s unknown attacks,]] Adumrod’s Strength Gather, [[spoiler: and Colossus Count’s Super Attacks]] just to name a few.
53* LethalLavaLand:
54** Any stage with Mightymetagross as the boss. [[spoiler: This doesn’t include Dark Mightymetagross’s stage.]]
55** [[spoiler: Pyrox’s stage qualifies, with lava that you can walk in... at the cost of life.]]
56* MacrossMissileMassacre: Nintendoandfriends’s most powerful attack. [[spoiler: It has display text very similar to Valstriros’s “Barrage of Everything” attack.]]
57%%zce* Magic Knight: Cryptghast152.
58%%zce* MultiMo okMelee: The Pit of 100 Trials.
59* MythologyGag:
60** There are various jokes and dialogues that only members of the forum would know, such as Mightymetagross's opening dialogue in the first game or even the villain himself, Valstriros, who was born from a thread in News Bulletin on the actual forums.
61** otnayupidstay [[spoiler: in the graveyard sidequest]] is actually a reference to otnayupidstay’s continuous deaths, both real life and in the series.
62* NonstandardGameOver: Some of the traps in Irnbrox's stage after you beat him. Also, if you choose the wrong choice while talking to Samnrak, he'll give you a Game Over.
63* OneHitKill: [[spoiler: Dimentio, Giygas, Chaos, Dark Mightymetagross, Colossus Count, [=GLaDOS=], Dark/Undead/Normal]] Jupiter Spark, Sausagefanclub,[[spoiler: Xarpid, Kitten/Undead/Demon otnay, Valstriros (EX), Sprinkles (2.0), Ulamog, Sinistar, and Nightmare Conglomeration]] all have an attack that either (has a chance of) instantly killing a party member or causing an instant game over.
64* PlotArmor:
65** All of the forumers, Cryptghast, Exava, and Valstriros have eluded death.
66** Parodied. When speaking to [[spoiler: Nintendoandfriends's clone,]] one possibility is he'll blow up, causing a game over, with the screen fading to black...and then coming back, with the characters namedropping this trope.
67* PuffOfLogic: Burstman723 disappears in game 2 [[spoiler: after he discovers he never really existed.]]
68* QuirkyMinibossSquad: [[spoiler: Every single boss in Dementia.]]
69* SanitySlippage:
70** Sausagefanclub in game 2.
71** [[spoiler: otnayupidstay does this for a postgame sidequest.]]
72* SevenDeadlySins: The forumers and Valstriros represent this pretty well.
73** Lust: Mightymetagross
74** Greed: Valstriros
75** Envy: SFC, to a lesser extent.
76** Sloth: Splatkirby.
77** Wrath: otnayupidstay.

79** Gluttony: The Count, also to a lesser extent.
80* SideQuest: Quite a few.

82* ThereAreNoTents: In games 1 and 2, talking to the Maid is the only way to sleep and recover your party.

84* TooDumbToLive: Free Bird.
85* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Magnus Von Grapple's rematch in game 2. [[spoiler: We are NOT talking about Magnus von Grapple 2.0.]] Plus, you fight him with Mightymetagross, making him die 20% faster.
86* WakeUpCallBoss: In the third game, Brobby will basically tell you that these games are done going easy. Adumrod also qualifies if you thought Game 3 wasn’t much of a step up from difficulty.
87* WalkingSpoiler: Everything past the second half of the third game.
88* WombLevel: Subverted. The Forum Depths appear to be this, [[spoiler: but it's revealed when you get to SFC that it's actually his hatred sprawled throughout the lair.]] Played straight in aesthetics, however.
89* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: otnayupidstay and Sausagefanclub have attacks like this, but the majority of [[spoiler: Giygas's]] attacks are this.
