• Straight: Doing a Goomba Stomp on an enemy gives you 100 points instead of just one.
• Exaggerated: You get at least 10,000 points for everything you do in the game. Even just walking gives points.
• Downplayed: You get five points for minor actions instead of just one.
• Justified: Your score represents money, and you're being paid a lot for your mission.
• Inverted: You get 0.00000001 points for beating the Final Boss.
• Subverted: At the end of the game, your score is divided by 100, so you really only got one point for actions you thought gave you 100.
• Double Subverted: ...Then, your score gets multiplied by 1 million.
• Parodied:
  • The zeroes at the end of your score counter run off the edge of the screen.
  • The score requires scientific notation not to run off the edge of the screen. Then the exponent of 10 gets so huge that it has to be written in scientific notation...
• Zig Zagged: Your score is displayed in different units at different points in the game, making it look much larger in some places than in others.
• Averted: Every bit of progress you make in the game earns you only one point each.
• Enforced: The game company wants the high scores on their game to be really impressive, so they make the game give out points like crazy.
• Lampshaded: ???
• Invoked: ???
• Exploited: ???
• Defied: The character that writes the scoreboards gets sick of writing huge numbers and revamps the scoring mechanic completely.
• Discussed: "Do you think you're going to end up with several billion points?"
• Conversed:
  "I scored a million points in this game!"
  "Only 1,000,000 pts.? *sigh * I guess you need to practice more."
