** One of the attractions at the Midway of the Carnival is the "World's Strongest Kitten", which has a sign depicting it as lifting a 5 lb weight. By the time Vince finds it, the poor thing had been crushed under a 50 lb weight.

* ActionBomb: The Killadillos try to roll into you and detonate. Appropriately, they even have a bomb-like design.



* GanglandDriveBy: The "1930s Mob Hit" power has Vince get lit up by some goons who are in a period-appropriate car using Tommy Guns.



* HarmlessVillain: Actually, Kosmo is quite harmful, it's more in spite of himself than anything. He's only dangerous during the game's events because his goons had finally managed to steal Madame Charmaine's Zombie Dust, and even an idiot like Kosmo can be dangerous with a RealityWarping magical artifact.

* MeaninglessLives: Pretty much. You have a limited amount of lives, but the only consequence of losing them all is being spit back to the main menu, where you can just reload your last checkpoint (which in turns gives you three more lives to work with). Makes you wonder why they even bothered with lives in the first place.

Makes you wonder why they even bothered with lives in the first place.Collecting an extra life restores Vince's health to full capacity, so it's a good idea to collect them either way.



* ProperlyParanoid: After collecting the things for Crawdad Jimmy's gumbo, he invites Vince to a fanboat race. The latter begrudgingly agrees, and [[BreakingTheFourthWall confides with the player]] that he doesn't fully trust Jimmy. [[spoiler: Sure enough, Crawdad Jimmy was in cahoots with Kosmo the entire time and had been keeping Vince busy long enough for the Inscrutable to arrive.]]



* TakingYouWithMe: The Killadillos try to roll into you and detonate.

''Voodoo Vince'' is a 2003 PlatformGame for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} about a VoodooDoll come to life. His creator Madam Charmaine is kidnapped by passable EvilSorcerer and seventh grade dropout Kosmo the Inscrutable, and he must rescue her by adventuring through crazy lands that have been warped and corrupted by "Zombie Dust". Voodoo Vince must use his voodoo doll powers and hurt ''himself'' to hurt enemies and progress.

The game was never made backwards compatible with the UsefulNotes/Xbox360, nor was it re-released for Xbox Live, because the game used some unique custom code that prevented porting over on that platform. However, the game received a remastered version for UsefulNotes/XboxOne and [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows 10]], primarily handled by the game's original creator, Clayton Kauzlaric.

* BossBattle: One per region in the game. The majority of these take the form of [[RuleOfThree three-cycle encounters]], with the exception of the first boss.



* LampshadeHanging: A major part of the game's humor. Crosses over often with [[BreakingTheFourthWall]] fourth wall-breaking]] above.

* RuleofThree: In the boss fights, Vince often has to pilot vehicles or otherwise engage in a particular set of mechanics to damage the bosses three times each. With every round of fighting, the fight progressively gets harder through the attacks getting more aggressive and frequent, the environment becoming more hazardous, or a combination of both.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: A core part of the game's humor, spoken or otherwise and frequently overlaps with [[LampshadeHanging lampshade hanging]].
** If the player loiters for an extended period of time, Vince will look over his shoulder at the camera and motion as if to ask what is the holdup.
** Frequently in cutscenes, Vince will throw the camera a [[AsideGlance sideways glance]], especially if the goings-on at the time are particularly silly.
** If the player dies a number of times in rapid succession, Vince will call attention to their poor playing ability by saying "Try to keep me alive this time!" upon respawning.

** [[GeniusDitz She made a decent plane, though.]]]] Indirectly lampshaded when you realize why it's conveniently proportioned for a pilot the size of a voodoo doll.



* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: "What now? A giant crab? A giant dog? A giant... carrot?"
** Every seemingly friendly character you encounter will eventually turn on you.
* EvilTwin: An evil, demented version of Vince appears in the Hall of Mirrors.

** Vince will sometimes remark on the amount of absurdly-shaped and colored collectibles in the world by saying "Who leaves this crap lying around?"
