Proof that you don't need to be Japanese to make a good WidgetSeries.
----
!Provides Examples Of:
* {{Animesque}}: A European game that looks a lot like an {{Anime}}. It even had a promotional {{Manga}}!
* AnnouncerChatter: The most basic sort, but oddly endearing with the GreekChorus of children yelling it. "GET READY!" "YOU LOSE!" "YOU WIN!" You get a few more varied soundclips for EnemyChatter.
* AttractMode: A pretty neat [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_cAhHp4DK8 animated opening.]]
* BizarrePuzzleGame: A very loose variation of a MatchThreeGame. While Spin Jam has a match-three element, that ain't how you win levels. The three matched balls provide a force (of sorts) in a straight line that runs through the center spindle, which will cause affected balls to be shot away from the center and (hopefully) into matching-colored flower petals. Filling those petals is the ultimate goal.
** In a variant, 2 player mode makes all petals infinite and the goal is to [[ThatCameOutWrong ram as many balls into them as possible]], because after a few seconds they'll come back on the opponent's side, possibly [[OhCrap transformed into negative status effects.]] You can also unleash a LimitBreak when your gauge is full and have you character blast theirs for a temporary stun. The match is won when one side's field is so filled up it spills out of the flower-shaped playing field.
* BonusFeatureFailure: What do you get after toughing your way through the expert story mode? A Powerpoint-style slideshow of [[ConceptArtGallery concept art]] set to the title theme music [[MostAnnoyingSound repeated 3 times]]. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYFmeYN1FwY
** Double failure - those exact same pictures can ALSO be unlocked by beating the infinitely more brain-breakingly hard 100-round arcade mode with each character. [[SarcasmMode Yay, that was worthwhile.]]
* BritishAccents: All of the characters that can speak normally have this. Justified with this game being made in the UK.
* CallARabbitASmeerp / NonIndicativeName: Moolamb. Not a cow or a sheep, but a [[CartoonCreature red marshmallow]] that [[CrazyAwesome rides around on a meteor.]]
* CandyLand: Poppy's world, to which she restrains herself from eating up by wearing boxing gloves.
* CharacterPortrait: Animated ones in the character select screen, taunting you compared to the [[OffModel sprites themselves...]]
* ContemptibleCover: The [[http://www.theoldcomputer.com/game-box-art-covers/Sony/Playstation-PS1/S/Spin%20Jam%20%5BU%5D%20%5BSLUS-01250%5D-front.jpg American cover,]] specifically of how Lemondrop is drawn on it. Not bad out of context but suffers from a weird sort of [[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore American Kirby Is Sexy]] as that hot anthropomorphic citrus fruit with the side boob is actually a little girl anthropomorphism in-game. SexSells is not the best sort of strategy for an ages 3 and up puzzle game...
* CriticalExistenceFailure: You can keep playing with a full field for hours as long as you keep blasting off bubbles before that very last grey one touches the center spindle, then BOOM! A character's defeat portrait can vary from merely [[InstantBandages being bandaged head to toe]] to [[DisproportionateRetribution having their robotic arms ripped off...]]
** Possibly justified, as the opening as well as the VersusCharacterSplash implies that the characters are actually fighting each other rather than popping petals. This can show that [[CuteBruiser they may be tougher than their innocent appearances let on.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: Wigsey. [[CaptainObvious Even his hair is artificial!]]
** SwissArmyAppendage / PowerFist / RocketPunch
** BubbleGun: More useful version than usual- Wigsey's robot hands can create giant rubber bubbles that he rides around like space hoppers and tosses to crush foes.
** [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: {{Justified|Trope}} as it's fake! (No one else in this game has an excuse though.)
* DefeatMeansPlayable: For [[FinalBoss Moolamb]]. And also, oddly enough, Baby, who's the starter character Babybot sans {{Mecha}} after you trashed it. [[OffModel And for some reason his face and skin color change slightly when he's a separate character.]]
* DifficultySpike: [[NintendoHard Hoo boy.]]
* EternalEngine: Babybot's world.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Gillybones the purple ankylosaur.
* ExcusePlot: A red marshmallow is threatening the universe somehow. Throw colored balls at giant flowers to defeat him and beat up everyone that gets in your way!
* FloatingInABubble: Every character has a pic of them doing this and a random one appears on the title screen each time.
* FollowTheLeader: Interesting example in that it obviously jumped on the bandwagon of ''[[VideoGame/BubbleBobble Bust-A-Move]]'' by being a NintendoHard puzzle game with a cutesy cast and a 'bubble' theme but its gameplay is refreshingly unique. Nonetheless, this trope probably contributed to bad sales.
* GainaxEnding: Moolamb gets into a spaceship [[BiggerOnTheInside smaller than himself]]/[[TomatoSurprise was a hologram all along?]] Just roll with it, in any case you just unlocked him as a character.
* GoingThroughTheMotions: In the pre-fight mini scenes each character has one animation, combined with one of three IncrediblyLamePun BondOneLiner snippets of voice acting. In game they have a couple of idles, a panic animation and a super move- varied enough not to get grating even as you grind through the hundred level arcade mode.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Several examples, but [[PunnyName Lemondrop]] stands out:
-->''Here's a bitter taste of defeat for you!''
* ImprobableAge: Babybot, who's [[CaptainObvious a baby in a mecha.]]
** TheEngineer
** GadgeteerGenius
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Poppy and lollipops. She can also ride one around like a witch's broom!
** SweetTooth: Poppy again. The manual says she wears boxing gloves to keep herself from eating her [[CandyLand home planet.]]
** Lemondrop tosses the lemon tutu around her waist as her personal LimitBreak.
** Booger's own LimitBreak is to throw his carrots at his opponent.
* LethalLavaLand: Gilly's world.
* LevelAte: Lemondrop's world, which is filled with nothing but citrus fruit.
* MadLibsDialogue: As a result of the abovementioned EnemyChatter snippets- it's two random lines stuck together based on the character matchup and if you're lucky it'll half sound like a conversation.
* MegaNeko: [[FunnyAnimal Nips the cat.]]
** UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Who really looks like [[EpilepticTrees a guy in a mascot suit.]]
* NamesTheSame: While the two are completely different characters, Aqualad shares his name with that of Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}'s {{Sidekick}}.

* PiranhaProblem: Aqualad's adorable fish friends [[KillerRabbit turn out to be these]] when he summons them for his LimitBreak.
* PlantPerson: An unusual variation in Lemondrop, who's part human, part lemon.
* PowerUp: Quite a mixed bag!
** Color Bubble- Turns the bubbles it touches into the same color.
** [[StuffBlowingUp Grenade]] - Blows up a few bubbles.
** [[UpToEleven Rocket]] - Blows up all bubbles in a straight line down to the spindle.
** [[LimitBreak Grenade Spray]] - Your super move in single player mode: a huge storm of grenades all at once.
** Multiplier - One bubble that counts as many.
* PoisonMushroom: [[NintendoHard You'll see these more often.]]
** [[DiscardAndDraw Randomise]] - Changes color of every bubble on screen.
** [[InterfaceScrew Reverse]]: Reverses directional controls.
** Death Bubble: Turns nearby bubbles grey, thus setting off a virus-esque spread. You lose if they hit the center spindle.
** Bubble Bomb - A timer ticks down and at the end if you haven't go rid of it it pops open into a huge amount of extra bubbles.
** Freeze Bubble - [[StandardStatusEffects Slows down]] the interface until dispelled.
** X-Bubble: A bubble that can't be launched into flower petals, only destroyed via Grenade/Rocket/Etc.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Aqualad's fish [[KillerRabbit when they're not biting]], and the small lemon creature on Lemondrop's planet.
* SpeakingSimlish: Booger.
* TakeThat: See the hard-to-reach ending video above. Can you spot Nips the cat [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar eating]] [[{{Pokemon}} Pikachu?]]
