Tropes

• Contested Sequel: pop'n music 20 fantasia, which forces the COOL judgement in all non-Easy modes.
• Gratuitous English: IN MAI RAIFU
• Memetic Mutation: "NO MEGANE NO LIFE"
• Nightmare Fuel: ?'s eye. His eye! HIS EYE!
• Periphery Demographic — According to That Other Wiki, pop'n was originally intended to be played by couples on dates.
• Shipping: Nyami and Mimi are frequently coupled with other Pop'n characters, the most common ships being those with MZD, or each-other.
• "Stop Having Fun" Guys — Some higher-end players will berate you if you don't use Cho-Challenge mode, or if you use Beat-Pop.
• Surprise Difficulty — Not convinced that a cute and cheerful game can be Nintendo Hard? Here you go. Well, there's a reason why on Wikipedia, the article states that pop'n music has some of the hardest songs in any rhythm game.
  • If you're used to "FLOWER" giving you a five-note hold at the beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD Homage part in IIDX and in REFLEC BEAT, watch out! Its higher-level charts convert the holds into a scale pattern!
• Tear Jerker — A song from Iroha, Shizuku was said to be so depressing that some players simply quit playing the song completely. (Lyrics here).
• Ugly Cute: Ash.
  • Hoshi no Hito, In purest form.
• The Woobie: In his fail animation, Timer sulks while Minit's comes up to him and pats him on the back.
  • Minit's cries in her miss animation. If you're playing her song, you'll see it a lot.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: A number of fans have had to ask whether Timer is a guy or a girl. His Detached Sleeves, Zettai Ryouiki, and Cross Playing certainly doesn't help.
