* DirectionallySolidPlatforms

* CameBackWrong: Culminates in Round 3 when [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson's body [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter turns swastika-shaped.]] While the primary function of this is just to UpTo11 the NightmareFuel, it also foreshadows Mad King Shapnard's [[GodwinsLaw Hitlerian]] modus operandi of [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil exploiting racial tensions for power.]]]]

** DarkChick: Rachel Jeantel is a chick... and she's also [[IncrediblyLamePun pretty dark.]]

* TheEndingChangesEverything: It's revealed in the epilogue that [[spoiler: Sharpnard's minions weren't as bad as everyone thought, and that Mac's coach Adam Pollock is more despicable than all of them combined. [[ItsPersonal For reasons.]]]]

* SoShortItRocks: Some of the most acclaimed minigames are more like [[WarioWare Microgames.]]

* HuskyRusskie: Boris couldn't be more of one of these.

* HuskyRusskie: Boris to a tee.

* VictoryQuote: "I vun! *snap*"

* GameOver: "The Soviets took over the world. And speaking of over, that's your game too!"

* DirectionallySolidPlatforms: Missiles are platforms, not obstacles. There are enough of the latter to go around.

* DirectionallySolidPlatforms: You don't hit your head on missiles when approaching from below.

* DirectionallySolidPlatforms: Missiles.

* DudeNotFunny: Real-world missile crises were not nearly as relevant a topic when ''Super Missile Run'' entered development as they were when it left it.

* CameBackWrong: Culminates in Round 3 when [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter turns swastika-shaped.]] While the primary function of this is just to UpTo11 the NightmareFuel, it also foreshadows Mad King Shapnard's [[GodwinsLaw Hitlerian]] modus operandi of [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil exploiting racial tensions for power.]]]]

* ClosingCredits: The credits of the game are astronomically longer than the game itself, and are astronomically long for a flash game of any sort.

* DudeNotFunny: Real-world missile crises were not nearly as relevant a topic when ''Super Missile Run'' entered development as they were when it left it. Scratch might could label it retroactively TooSoon based on the [[WhatAnIdiot false alarms]] alone.

* CameBackWrong: Culminates in Round 3 when [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter becomes a swastika.]] This foreshadows Mad King Shapnard's [[GodwinsLaw Hitlerian]] modus operandi of [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil exploiting racial tensions for power.]]]]

** TheDragon: [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson. He's not willing to go along with The Big Bad because he was reincarnated into what he is, but he's a central part of The Big Bad's organisation.]]
** The EvilGenius: Chad Joseph, or at least he's the smartest of The Big Bad's minions. He knows how to operate a [=PS3=] controller and he's the most articulate by far.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: For a game so focused on bad guys, [[spoiler:it turns out that the only ''actual'' bad one is The Big Bad himself.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Petilil and/or Lilligant, in three of the four endings, sacrifice themselves with Healing Wish to restore Robert's health. They never appear in the story again. This happens even if Robert is really healthy.

''Website/KoopaTV'' releases a flash videogame using MIT's Scratch tool every year. So far they have released ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'', ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'', ''Capture the Confederate Flag'', and ''The Wonderful 1237''.

The purpose of these games is to bring value to the readers, but also to illustrate some of the points that [=KoopaTV=] talks about, whether it be about game design or culture. [=KoopaTV=]'s videogames are designed to be controversial, and have so far been parodies or based on the mechanics of other games. ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' bills itself as part of the VideoGame/PunchOut series, while ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'' is a "spiritual sequel" to ''Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian'' made by Bendilin.

''Capture the Confederate Flag'' appears to be original, while ''The Wonderful 1237'' explicitly is based on ''VideoGame/PocketCardJockey'', at least mechanically.

* YouAreFat: Of all ''The Wonderful 1237'' minigames, Chris Christie's "Build a Burger" has the biggest file size.

* EdutainmentGame: Various, but Bobby Jindal's "Math Problems" applies especially.
* GameplayGrading: Minigame performance awards the player anywhere from 0 to 100 points.
* HalfHumanHybrid: John Kasich the half-human half-giraffe.

* MysteryOfTheWeek: One minigame to solve every Wonderful Wednesday. (Complete as of September 2017.)

* AdaptationPersonalityChange Chad Joseph now displays aggression and gusto, whereas before he was a complete BlankSlate.
* BlackMagic The driving force of the game's plot. [[spoiler:Employed by Mad King Sharpnard.]]
* CameBackWrong Culminates in Round 3 when [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter becomes a swastika.]] This foreshadows Mad King Shapnard's [[GodwinsLaw Hitlerian]] modus operandi of [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil exploiting racial tensions for power.]]]]
* EasyModeMockery There is a unique character ending edit to Little Mac's aftermath in the credits if you use the cheat code that makes Mac super strong.
* EdibleAmmunition Rachel Jeantel tosses various food sprites from VideoGame/PaperMario at Mac.
* EveryoneHasASpecialMove

* FiveBadBand
** The BigBad [[spoiler:Clearly Mad King Sharpnard. The whole plot of the game exists because of him, and he exerts undue influence on everyone else.]]
** TheDragon [[spoiler: Trayvon Tyson. He's not willing to go along with The Big Bad because he was reincarnated into what he is, but he's a central part of The Big Bad's organisation.]]
** The EvilGenius Chad Joseph, or at least he's the smartest of The Big Bad's minions. He knows how to operate a [=PS3=] controller and he's the most articulate by far.
** TheBrute Gosha. He is pure fists (and a car) and is pretty much the definition of a brute.
** DarkChick Rachel Jeantel is a chick... and she's also [[IncrediblyLamePun pretty dark.]]
* HopelessBossFight Though this is at the penultimate fight of the game, not at the beginning. The final boss makes himself invincible, and Mac can't even dodge most of his attacks.
* RollingAttack Rachel Jeantel rolls on her side to try to flatten Little Mac.
* TheEndingChangesEverything For a game so focused on bad guys, [[spoiler:it turns out that the only ''actual'' bad one is The Big Bad himself.]]
* ThinkOfTheChildren On October 1, 2015 Scratch removed ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' for being "too violent or scary".
* VehicularAssault The first boss turns into a car to ram Little Mac when he's desperate.

* BrokenAesop For participants 13 or younger, they get redirected to a voice-acted life lesson page saying it's okay to defend yourself, and to treat women with respect. Of course, for those that play the game, this lesson is expressed through the glorification of violence.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts Or twenty (twenty-one).
* [[spoiler:GroinAttack One of the possible endings is that Anita kicks Bendilin in the crotch. It's the only ending where he survives.]]
* OnlyAFleshWound It takes a total of 20 bullets for Bendilin to surrender, and even then he isn't actually dead.
* ThinkOfTheChildren On August 2, 2015 Scratch removed ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'' for being "too mature". It returned November 16 and tried to direct younger viewers to the Broken Aesop above.

* ContextSensitiveButton The very last fight of the game has different attacks come out depending on the distance between you and the boss.
* DamselinDistress Also Petilil and Lilligant, being held captive by "terrorists and perverts" in each state.
* DeepSouth The setting for the game. Applies it respectfully.
* HeroicSacrifice Petilil and/or Lilligant, in three of the four endings, sacrifice themselves with Healing Wish to restore Robert's health. They never appear in the story again. This happens even if Robert is really healthy.
* OminousLatinChanting The very final boss fight features the Dixie Land song Google-Translated into Latin.
* PressXToNotDie Lampshaded and Parodied, since the game presents a dialogue box labeled “QUICKTIME EVENT!”. Then Conversed if you wait long enough when it says, “What are you waiting for? Press the Spacebar!”
* SouthernBelle Petilil and Lilligant.

* BraggingRightsReward Apparently the beating of the game by anyone not named Ludwig.
* DialogDuringGameplay Jeb Bush invokes this by telling you how many seconds you have left to press space, which only serves as an annoying distraction.
* EdutainmentGame Various, but Bobby Jindal's "Math Problems" applies especially.
* GameplayGrading Minigame performance awards the player anywhere from 0 to 100 points.
* HalfHumanHybrid John Kasich the half-human half-giraffe.
* LoadingScreen There are 30 tips screens that are randomly chosen in-between game rounds.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Almost all hailing from the laughably-bloated 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.

* MysteryOfTheWeek One minigame to solve every Wonderful Wednesday. (Complete as of September 2017.)
* NotHyperbole Much of what ''should'' be fictional isn't fictional in the least. Not even Rand Paul's "Chainsaw the Tax Code."
* PoliticalCartoons The video game version of these, when you think about it.
* ShoutOut The game's title is a shout-out to ''TheWonderful101''.
* SoShortItRocks Some of the most acclaimed minigames are more like [[WarioWare Microgames.]]
* StickFigureAnimation Lindsey Graham and John [=McCain=] as they stick-dance in "Follow the Leader."
* YouAreFat Of all ''The Wonderful 1237'' minigames, Chris Christie's "Build a Burger" has the biggest file size.

* SoShortItRocks Some minigames are like the Microgames in ''WarioWare'' and last mere seconds. Others last a minute or more.
