Tropes that apply to multiple Works

1-Up: Due to most of the stories being crossovers with Nintendo properties the one ups appear on multiple occasions to revive characters who perished either due to their own stupidity or at the hand of the big bads of the stories.
Adaptational Badass: Several characters who are considered to be wimps in their home series are made a lot stronger and durable in the stories. Allowing them to go toe to toe with god like beings that appear in the stories.
A Day in the Limelight: Several times such as Meiling in Dream Team and many RWBY characters such as Roman and Neo in Super RWBY Sisters.
Adaptational Explanation: Several stories explain stuff from the games like having the Big Lantern Ghost be explicitly working for General Guy in Paper RWBY and Antasma's Warm-Up Boss battle in Dream Team being explained as him trying to attack the gang in their dreams and not expecting several members of the gang to fight back.
Adaptational Wimp: Some characters have been made a lot weaker in order for them to fit the stories
- In Super RWBY Sisters, while downplayed, the characters from Gensokyo become weakened when they leave their planet.
- The Fawful Express is easily beaten by Bowser, Bowser Jr and General Guy all culminating in Giant Bowser jumping the bridge and throwing the train into the chasm where it blows up.
Adaptation Amalgamation: The Legend of Ruby: Breath of the Wild is mostly based off of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but includes Terrako from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
Adapted Out: Certain sequences are left out depending on the story. For instance, in Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake, Luigi calls up Rosalina to take the Mario Bros, Sora, Koops, Vivian, Nocturne, Bobbery, Bea, Noire and Aerith to the Moon, meaning that they don't have to go to Fahr Outpost and deal with General White for the cannon (though the Fahr Outpost's cannon is mentioned by Professor Frankly).
Alternate Universe: The stories that take place in the paper universe always take place in a different world from the non paper stories.
April Fools' Day:
- In 2017, the author posted the final chapter of Kingdom Hearts: Dawn of Chaos which ended with setting up Touhou Dream Team and including a preview for that story.
- In 2020, the author posted Touhou Odyssey (April Fools 2020) that has Sans interrupting Mario and his friend's fight against Bowser at the start of the game, beating Bowser and then turning on Mario and his friends before it's revealed to be a dream Reimu had. In the actual Odyssey story, the April Fool's story gets brought up a couple of times.
- In 2021, the author posted RWBY: Outbreak, a story which seems to have everyone dying from the enemy attacks...and then it's revealed that Caboose was telling the story.
- In 2022, the author posted MAJC's Bad Fur Day which has Mona retelling the events via puppet show and skipping over most parts except for The Great Mighty Poo, the Tediz war and the ending having the other characters not understanding what happened and Zoey beginning to tell them the real story...at which point the story ends.
- In 2023, the author posted a chapter of Super RWBY IF that has Iris deciding to catch a Pokémon for herself...but then after she catches a Roaring Moon she releases it saying that she wanted to catch a Pokémon, having never said anything about keeping it. He also did a one shot called New Super RWBY Chibi that has a coded message It's in the titles and spells April Fool's.
- In 2024, the author posted a one shot called Twilight Gaming wherein Chiaki playacts herself battling and killing her Twilight version using Minis while Hajime, Ibuki, Elfilin and BB-8 watch.
Archive Binge: Seeing as the author has written around a hundred stories it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that going through and reading the stories is going to take a while.
Ascended Extra: Many stories do this for certain characters such as Sienna and Winter and the Branwen twins in the SRS or Sheik accompanying Link and Youmu in Touhou: Ocarina of Time.
Big Fancy Castle: In the stories where they make an appearance Peach and Bowser's castle's act as this due to their massive size, and the latter usually acting as the final dungeon of some of the stories.
Buffet Buffoonery: The Shy Guy Buffet is a recurring location in the Touhou-verse and Super RWBY Sisters-verse with characters frequently heading there to eat.
Canon Foreigner: Many examples such as Oran and Team LAFF in Super Ruby Sisters and a Platinum Lynel in The Legend of Ruby: Breath of the Wild which is far stronger and way more persistent as according to legends, no matter where you are it will slaughter you and wiped out both Kuroyuri and the Branwen Tribe.
Crossover: While already a given, the characters of the different stories can cross over as well such as Lightning from Sora's Adventure in Rogueport appearing in Paper RWBY: The Thousand Year Door for the X-Naut base chapter and characters from the Kingdom Hearts-verse appearing the Touhou stories starting with Dream Team and excluding the Remake stories. This ends up nearly dooming the paper universe when Dark Ruby's torture of Ruby in the SRS universe causes her to lose her link with Chaos Ruby when Ruby temporarily dies, driving the latter to try and destroy the world in Chapter 165 of Gaiden but luckily, Ruby reestablishes contact and talks Dark Ruby out of it.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Appears at various points, usually whenever a character from one franchise goes up against a character from another franchise without planning. One example being when Sora fights Bea in the third Elite Four battle in the Glitz Pit. Bea beats Sora easily due to her having studied his moves such as when Sora tries Ars Arcanum, Bea simply catches the Keyblade by clapping her hands together and then yanks the Keyblade out of Sora's hands and throws it aside. Sora ultimately gains something of an upper hand via Thundaga, Aeroga and Aeroga Punch, but when he airsteps to deliver a Firaga Punch, all the damage he took catches up to him and he stumbles and falls onto Bea. Bea then smirks and falls off the ring, turning the fight into a draw.
Doorstopper: The Author has written a lot, with his Super RWBY Series having around 2 million words, his Touhou Series having hundreds of thousands of words and the Kingdom Hearts Stories also having several hundreds of thousands of words. Add the unrelated stories to that, and the author has written around 5 million words.
Early-Installment Weirdness: Several of the author's stories have major differences in the early parts such as the The Koopa Bros appearing in the early Super RWBY Sisters stories and the heroes having earpieces in the original Touhou Galaxy 2. In addition, though Dry Bowser's always been separate from Bowser's forces being a predecessor to Bowser named Emperor Bowser, in the Sabrinaverse and the Touhouverse, he's a one-off villain who only shows up, battles the heroes some and gets curbstomped by Bowser. It's not until the SRS that he truly comes into his own.
Holiday Episode: There have been several one shots and Chibi chapters released that focused on real life holidays, these include April Fools Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween and so much more.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In Chapter 26 of Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake, Noire comments that it feels like it took her, Sora and their group a full year just to get back to Rogueport. Ryuji later says the same thing at the end of Chapter 29 after the Phantom Thieves beat Bonetail.
Meaningless Villain Victory: In Chapter 8 of Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake, Lord Crump blows up the Boggly Tree with a spare detonator but Vivian saves Mario and the gang with her powers of going into the ground, Madame Flurry and the Punies decide to rebuild the tree and the next chapter has Crump getting chewed out by Sir Grodus over what happened including the possibility that Crump may have blown up the Crystal Stars (which he didn't).
Official Couple: Several including Mario/Princess Peach, Luigi/Princess Daisy, Byleth/Dorethea and Bea/Korrina
Pragmatic Adaptation: In the stories that adapt Collectathons such as the Mario platformers, the characters don't collect all of the objects due to how many there are, especially in Touhou Odyssey as the base game has 999 Power Moons!
Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Chapter 8 of Touhou: Twilight Princess has Marisa telling Reimu "Go to hell." before unleashing a point-blank Final Spark that sends Reimu flying into the Hakurei Shrine causing it to explode. Then it turns out even that didn't really do anything to Reimu.
Record Needle Scratch: A very frequent occurrence, such as in chapter 14 of Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake when Team Sky and Byleth charging at each other as Chasing Daybreak (Rain) plays only for this trope to ensue when the Phantom Thieves drop a smoke bomb into the arena.
Series Hiatus: Super RWBY Sisters, Touhou Galaxy and Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake have experienced this.
Setting Update: Any time the Author updates his stories (The Touhou Remastered stories and Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake), he'll add in newer video games such as Team Fortress 2, Pokémon Sword and Shield and Akame ga Kill!.
Shout-Out: One of the Author's Signature Style in his writing is including many pop culture references. This can be anything from anime, manga, video games, to even real life events. In addition, the characters in the stories can make references to other stories such as Touhou Odyssey and Chapter 26 of Sora's Adventure in Rogueport Remake making mention of the Super RWBY Sisters stories.
Suddenly Voiced: Yoshi could speak normally during the early fics such as Galaxy 2. Later on, he does his regular Pokémon Speak.
The Multiverse: Several of the author's stories - namely, Touhou, SRS, Sora's Adventures, Paperverse, IF and Sabrina - exist in one of these and ever since Chapter 17 of Dream Team, the characters have been crossing over into the other universes such as Sabrinaverse characters appearing in the non-remake Touhou stories or mentions such as Yang and Tifa Lockhart being friends in the main SRS universe like they are in the Paperverse.
Tournament Arc: All four of the adaptations of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door feature this in the Glitz Pit chapters, though with their own twists (e.g. Sora's Adventure in Rogueport having Sora battle Lightning and the remake having an Elite Four consisting of Incineroar, Little Mac, Bea and Captain Falcon and all of Team Sky battling Tifa after she beat Rawk Hawk and became the new champion.
The Worf Effect: Chapter 6 of The Legend of Ruby: Breath of the Wild has Wiess coming across a Red Lynel who had its head cut off, weapons taken and was skinned by a Platinum Lynel. Downplayed as the slash marks on its body indicate it did not go down without a fight
Writer's Block: This has happened several times for the author:
- One example of Touhou: Odyssey had this several times.
- Another the author took a break from Super RWBY Sisters between Mar 28, 2019 and Oct 16, 2019 due to a burnout from writing the final 2 long chapters of Paper RWBY: The Thousand Year Door.
