1	Describe ''Miami Shark'' here.

3	(ThreateningShark + StuffBlowingUp) × SerialEscalation = ''Miami Shark''. Easy!

5	Oh... you want a real explanation? Well, we can try...

7	''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/513760 Miami Shark]]'' is a Flash game series hosted on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, chronicling the exploits of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a shark in Miami]] as it goes about its daily routine of eating dolphins, scuba divers, surfers, and pulling unsuspecting aircraft down several hundred feet to a watery doom, from small one-man helicopters all the way up to a B-52 Stratofortress. It came out in 2009.

9	The sequel, ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/533302 Sydney Shark]]'', was released in 2010. It takes place (obviously) in the waters near Sydney, as your shark aims to drag down even more absurd categories of self-propelled objects, such as crocodile-shaped passenger jets, a [=UFO=], culminating with a [[NukeEm nuclear missile]].

11	The third game, ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/590705 New York Shark]]'', showed up in 2012 and allows you to eat the Statue of Liberty among other things in [[BigApplesauce New York City]]. In early 2013, the fourth game, ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/604236 Medieval Shark]]'', takes place in a FantasyKitchenSink, where your shark has an axe. In October 2013, Mausland released the fifth game: ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/627518 Prehistoric Shark]]''. The sixth and final game, 2015's [[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/662486 Los Angeles Shark]], features the shark rampaging in Los Angeles, and the final boss is strangely a rubber duck. [[SurrealHumor It's a bizarre game]], but that's what Wiesi and Mausland are known for.
12	----
13	!!The ''Miami Shark'' series provides example of:
14	* AnachronismStew: An airship in medieval times? Doesn't matter; the shark will take it down all the same!
15	* ApocalypseHow:
16	** In ''Sydney Shark'', the Shark ends up bringing down a missile that causes a huge nuclear explosion seen from space.[[labelnote:*]][[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "Shark!"]][[/labelnote]]
17	** Taken to its most extreme when the Shark brings down a meteor and ends up '''[[EarthShatteringKaboom destroying]]''' [[EarthShatteringKaboom the goddamn planet]].
18	* BigApplesauce: ''New York Shark'' is set in New York City.
19	* BloodyHilarious: If it doesn't explode, it bleeds.
20	* TheCameo: Three cases in ''New York Shark'':
21	** You get to fight Film/KingKong by biting off his head.
22	** One repeating landmark in the scrolling background above water is the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Stay Puft Marshmallow Man]].
23	** You can also catch and kill ComicBook/SpiderMan.
24	* ColonyDrop: The ending to New York Shark if you manage it.
25	* CoolShades: The shark gets a pair in ''New York Shark''.
26	* CoolMask: The shark gets its very own executioner's mask in ''Medieval Shark''.
27	* DeathFromAbove: That leap? You can crush boats with it, not to mention people. Also, the shark can bring down anything it gets its jaws on, from a Cessna, to ''a Chinese missile'', to a '''''goddamn meteor!'''''
28	* EarthShatteringKaboom: The result of pulling down a meteor.
29	* ExtremeOmnivore: You also eat surfers and windsurfers pretty much in one bite, too.
30	* MadeOfExplodium: Anything you pull underwater.
31	* MadeOfIndestructium: The titular shark. Getting caught in dozens of explosions doesn't slow it down in the slightest, and getting nuked doesn't leave so much as a scratch. [[spoiler: Not even ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom Earth getting blown to smithereens]]'' and thus [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace floating around in space]] can stop it.]]
32	* MayanDoomsday: ''New York Shark'' was released in 2012, and fittingly features a meteor that you can pull down to cause an EarthShatteringKaboom.
33	* NukeEm: Take a guess what happens when the shark pulls down the nuclear missile.
34	* OmnicidalManiac: The shark.
35	* RefugeInAudacity
36	* RuleOfCool
37	* RuleOfFunny:
38	** Go ahead, laugh as the stealth bomber goes invisible. We understand.
39	** And how does an astronaut respond from space when he sees a nuke blast Sydney? "Shark!"
40	** What happens to the Shark after it destroys the earth via meteor? [[spoiler:It's ''still alive''. And [[SpectacularSpinning slowly spinning towards Mars]], to boot.]]
41	* SequelHook: [[spoiler:After destroying the Earth at the end of "New York Shark", the Shark is seen drifting towards Mars.]]
42	* SerialEscalation: You are a shark, who leaps several hundred feet into the air to catch its prey. And what are you hunting? Helicopters, airlines, attack jets, stealth bombers, space shuttles, [=UFOs=], ''a goddamn nuclear missile'', and '''''[[PrecisionFStrike a fucking meteor]]'''''...
43	* SharePhrase: "Shark!" and "OMG!"
44	* ShoutOut:
45	** A couple in ''Sydney Shark''; the hat the shark picks up is similar to the one worn by Film/CrocodileDundee, and when you take down a ''[[RefugeInAudacity living, breathing]] [[RuleOfCool crocodile plane]]'', [[Series/CrocodileHunter Steve Irwin]] pops up. You can't eat him, but then again [[MemeticBadass you probably wouldn't be able to]] [[WhatMightHaveBeen even if you had the chance]].[[labelnote:*]][[DueToTheDead Fucking stingray...]][[/labelnote]]
46	** The bonuses are also calculated using a ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' reference. In ''Los Angeles Shark'', this style is used interchangeably with the jackpot system first introduced in ''New York Shark''.
47	* SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness: In ''Medieval Shark'', you can find bigger and better weapons in treasure chests at the bottom of the river, culminating in the appropriately titled ''[[CoolSword Demon Sword]]''.
48	* StuffBlowingUp: If it doesn't bleed, it explodes.
49	* ThreateningShark: Did you really expect anything else? It's taken up to eleven, too, since the Shark will destroy anything and everything in its path.
50	* VillainProtagonist: The shark, wanton property damage and mass murder isn't exactly heroic...
