History DarthWiki / SantaStory

** A boy from [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Icirrus City]] is named [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]].[[note]][[NoPronunciationGuide It was pronounced "Icarus City" by the GM.]][[/note]]

* TeleportersAndTransporters: The North Pole's transporter can make a portal to just about anywhere, as long as some sort of coordinates or reference is known. This includes worlds that, in real life, are fictional.

* ScienceFantasy: The combination of things from all over (including [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} magical bullet storms]] and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog advanced robots]]) give the story this sort of feeling.

* FinalDeath: The result of running out of lives.

** Demonstrated at the biannual Santa Convention, which ''every Santa in the multiverse'' attends. Some Santas seen include a [[TheSmurfs Smurf]] and a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Saiyan]].

* MundaneMadeAwesome: The UMSP sells many things that can help make or break the game for Santa: [[VideoGameLives extra lives]], time manipulating devices, and [[SummonMagic esper pacts]] just to name a few. It also sells [[CoolShades sunglasses]], [[HairDecorations hair ribbons]], and marbles (But each one has a different colored ribbon inside!). These items are as ordinary as they sound.

* AwesomeYetPractical: '''The transporter and locator'''. The first lets you go just about anywhere, and the second lets you find just about anyone/anything. There is no end to the practical uses for these devices, and they are very rarely made useless.

** HarderThanHard / PlatformHell: WordOfGod states there is no known way to get out of situations unscathed in Impossible mode, so to achieve any success there requires you to outsmart the GM. This is hard, because [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything he's pretty good about considering all possibilities.]]

* [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything The GM Thinks Of Everything]]: Too many examples to list.

* The North Pole makes extensive use of [[MagiTech magitech]]

** An elf damages Santa's gift sack by [[WillItBlend putting it in a Blendtec blender]].

** An artist elf at the Santa Convention venue looks like [[TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross]].

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The premise is about what you'd expect]], but [[BetterThanItSounds there's so much more to it than that]]. This story plays with the SantaClaus mythos in many expansive ways, such as:

** and a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Magikoopa-style]] MagicMissile

* Santa himself has a lot of useful abilities, such as invisibility magic, the power to make temporary openings just about anywhere, [[AzumangaDaioh amazing lockpicking skills and government funding]]

** Santa has government funding and [[MasterOfUnlocking amazing lockpicking skills]]. [[AzumangaDaioh Sound familiar?]]

** FullSetBonus: By using the gold and platinum wands together, tremendous power can be evoked.

* TheArcher: The elves are, by default, not trained in any sort of combat and can't gain much skill with any weapons, besides the bow.

** A boy from [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Icarus City]] is named [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]].

* MundaneMadeAwesome: The UMSP sells many things that can help make or break the game for Santa: [[VideoGameLives extra lives]], time manipulating devices, and [[SummonMagic esper pacts]] just to name a few. It also sells [[CoolShades sunglasses]], [[HairDecorations hair ribbons]], and marbles. These items are as ordinary as they sound.

* FiveManBand: Santa E-17 forms one with the [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Unova Elite Four]] during the Team Plasma StoryArc:
** TheHero: Santa
** TheLancer: Grimsley
** TheBigGuy: Marshal
** TheSmartGuy: Shauntal
** TheChick: Caitlin
** TheSixthRanger: Alder, who doesn't show up until later.

* KilledOffForReal: Due to the abnormal threat [[VideoGame/SonicCD Metal Sonic]] poses, Santa E-17 decides to track down and destroy every spare body Metal Sonic has and every memory/data device that has his info. If he is ever seen again, he will be starting from square one...hopefully.

* MyGreatestFailure: Santa E-17 didn't take it very well when he accidentally killed 1000 Team Plasma members and all of their Pokemon.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Santa E-17 used [[FullSetBonus both magic wands]] to super-power himself: this extreme power surge was detected by [[VideoGame/SonicCD Metal Sonic]], kicking off the Metal Sonic StoryArc.

* AWizardDidIt: Magic and [[MagiTech magitech]] explain away a lot of things, such as how [[StarfishAliens a sentient cloud of gas native to a nebula]] is able to function in an environment suited for the more corporeal Santas and how it can communicate with them.

* AlternateUniverseFic: The story pulls this with PokemonBlackAndWhite. Team Plasma are much more violent and successful, using weapons and even tanks to forcibly acquire and occupy the Pokémon League headquarters, among other places. They're working on a secret science project. From that point it totally deviates.
* ArcVillain: [[SuperPaperMario Mimi]], [[SonicTheHedgehog Metal Sonic]], [[PokemonBlackAndWhite Ghetsis]].

* KilledOffForReal: Due to the abnormal threat [[SonicTheHedgehog Metal Sonic]] poses, Santa E-17 decides to track down and destroy every spare body Metal Sonic has and every memory/data device that has his info. If he is ever seen again, he will be starting from square one...hopefully.
