Donkey Kong Island
- Candy's relationship with DK is a scaringly accurate depiction of a a toxic relationship. Candy presents herself as a charming and friendly girl, but will talk about people behind their backs and manipulate others to achieve her goals. DK's friends pick up on her facade immediately, but DK himself doesn't. Candy then procceeds to make DK's life a living hell by moving into his house without prior warning, turning him against his friends, almost making him quit his job, and overall making him her personal butler. Even when Candy is exposed for who she really is, DK blames himself by stating that Candy did all of that because he ignored her. It becomes even worse when you realize that this was all based on the horrible experience one of FreezeFlame22's friends had with a girl.
- For people who have or had to deal with abusive relatives, K. Rool's family can open up some rather nasty emotional scars. K. Rool was often neglected by his father, verbally, emotionally and psychologically abused by his older brother as his father always let him get away with his treatment of K. Rool, and often taken for granted by his cousin and sister. All of this caused K. Rool to become a cynical and bitter individual, so it also doubles as a Tear Jerker.
Wars of Frozen Flames
The Feeble King
- The Prologue talks about king Richard Koopa II, who was described as a ruthless tyrant. He became king when he was only 9 years old, and he was known for being a cruel child, often killing defenseless animals for fun, mistreating women for his own amusement,and overall getting rid of anyone that rubbed him the wrong way for very minor offenses, or simply just because he could. His behaviour only got worse as he grew older, and it resulted in his own uncle, Prince Tarquin, trying to depose him of the throne, which unfortunately backfired and he was executed alongside his son, who had no involment in the incident and was only executed for Richard's own amusement. Eventually, Richard's cousin John lead a campaign against him while he was out of the kingdom after he had ordered John's children to be executed. Richard's own troops put him under arrest upon his return to the Koopa Kingdom, and he subsequently starved to death in his prison cell as the newly crowned John IV forgot to have him fed. He was an evil scumbag who felt no remorse for any of his actions and, understandibly enough, he is regarded as one of the worst monarchs in the history of the Koopa Kingdom. It's definitely obvious where Bowser Jr. gets his superiority complex from.
- Queen Cynder. She is selfish, aggressive, rutheless, and resorts to bloodshed to solve her problems. She is also shown to enjoy seeing people get brutally killed as they scream for mercy. It's implied that she is the way she is due to her father's poor treatment of her and being forced to marry John VI, and that her affair with Blayne Phoenix is one of the few positive things she has going on for her.
- Lady Jane Phoenix is forced to give up her son James to someone at the service of the crown following her husband's death and subsequent remarriage due to the law of the time. Her only options are with her uncle Sigumd or her cousin Blayne, but she doesn't want to give him to either of them because they are self-centered and completely unpleasant to be around (Blayne outright mocks her over her husband's death and says that her child won't last long while Sigmund doesn't bother defending her when Cynder insults her after Jane begs her to not separate her from her son) and she's afraid they'll harm, or even kill him. Fortunately, her brother-in-law Rodrick offers to take James in and make sure he is safe.
