History VideoGame / PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaPortable

** TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer reveals that it is possible to have Mami become a witch. Further trailers and promotional material reveal Kyoko is also getting a witch form.

* OffTheRails: Saving Mami from dying? Check. Saving Sayaka from becoming a witch? Check. ''[[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Turning Mami or Kyoko into a witch?]]'' '''''Check'''''. But the off-railing already starts since the tutorial route. In Madoka's route that follows closely to anime, [[spoiler:it ends with Homura failing to prevent Madoka's contract in Episode 8 and she has no choice but to repeat the timeloop.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Wanna see what Mami, Kyoko, and Homura look like as Witches? Go right ahead.
** ClippedWingAngel: Mami's witch form isn't that strong compared to [[ThatOneBoss Kyoko's]]. And you [[NonStandardGameOver don't get to fight Homura's one at all]].

* TheUndead‎: The game ''really'' highlights this aspect of the Magical Girls, as if you fail to retrieve Sayaka's Soul Gem after she throws it off the bridge quickly enough, necrosis will set in and when you ''do'' get it back she'll [[FaceFramedInShadow apparently]] look like something out of a horror movie when she wakes up.

* {{Balloonacy}}: Remember Madoka blowing herself up like a pufferfish in the Anime OP? In the game, she ''weaponizes'' it by flying into the enemy like a balloon with an open end(the skill is called 'Pannier Rocket').

* UnwantedRescue: After fighting [[spoiler: Gisela]] alone in Mami's route, Mami goes back to check on the Witch-kissed suicidal woman she'd encountered before... only to learn that the woman really ''was'' suicidal, and is none too happy with Mami for saving her. [[spoiler: This contributes directly to Mami's bad ending.]]

** VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ...but it looks like you can make things ''even worse''.

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Kyoko's route contains one; it is an adaptation of the third Drama CD.

** This is the usual MO of the bonus route. When Homura urges Mami to become an idol so she won't be so lonely anymore, she literally asks Mami if she wants to become an idol or she gets a dog.

** This is the usual MO of the bonus route. When Homura urges Mami to become an idol so she won't be so lonely anymore, she literally asks Mami either she becomes an idol or she becomes a dog, all while in the same monotonous drone of hers. A bit HarsherInHindsight [[spoiler:when you remember that one of the Witches, Uhrmann, has chosen a form of a dog so she can be loved, and Homura most likely knows about it]].

* Feelies: Apparently the limited edition of the game will include a Madoka figurine, a handkerchief, and a Kyubey pouch, among other things.

* AnachronicOrder: One of Homura's most powerful attacks, [[PowerGivesYouWings The Black Wings of Corrosion]], is lifted from the [[BolivianArmyEnding anime's epilogue]], yet she's able to use it alongside her [[TimeStandsStill‎ temporal powers]] and can attain it before fighting Walpurgisnacht.

* MagicIdolSinger: Mami becomes one(thanks to Homura's pushing) in one of the special routes.

* StopHelpingMe: An unusual case. The [[LoadingScreen Loading Screens]] give advice everytime you transition from floor to floor in a dungeon, and playing again on a NewGamePlus has this effect.

''Puella Mamam...''... ''Pulla Maga''... ''Plama Maka''... ''[[PorkyPigPronunciation PMMM Portable]]'' is a LicensedGame for ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. It was released on the {{PSP}} March 15th, 2012, and was published by NamcoBandai. It has heavy involvement from the anime cast; Gen Urobuchi is supervising the scenario, while StudioSHAFT and Gekidan [=InuCurry=] are providing visual designs.

** In Sayaka's route, Kyuubi suggests that Kyousuke could be one of "those types of artists" that may decide to kill themselves. Sayaka rejects the possibility. [[spoiler:She's wrong.]]

* EarnYourBadEnding: From Kyuubi's point of view, pushing the girls further into despair is a ''good'' thing.

* [[spoiler: SenselessSacrifice: If Homura dies alone but kills Walpurginacht; Kyuubey comments on how without a guardian Puella Magi for the city, eventually a witch will emerge again and he'll contract Madoka then.]]

* BonusBoss: The witches Quitterie, Albertine and Itzli are only seen in the bonus dungeons.

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Kyoko's route contains one; it is an adaptation of the third Drama CD.

* VisualNovel

** ClippedWingAngel: Mami's witch form isn't that strong compared to Kyoko's. And you [[NonStandardGameOver don't get to fight Homura's one at all]].

* ForMassiveDamage: The higher level skills on the girls' move trees can achieve this - particularly Mami's Bombardment and Homura's Anti-Ship Missile

* RestartAtLevelOne: See AlternateTimeline. Also in Mami and Kyoko's routes during the flashbacks.

* OffTheRails: Saving Mami from dying? Check. Saving Sayaka from becoming a witch? Check. ''[[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Turning Mami or Kyoko into a witch?]]'' '''''Check'''''. But the off-railing already starts since the tutorial route. In Madoka's route that follows closely to anime, [[spoiler:it ends with Homura fails to prevent Madoka's contract in Episode 8 and she has no choice but to repeat the timeloop.]]

* PlayableEpilogue: [[spoiler: Homura fights the Demons in the desert wasteland, just like TheStinger in the end of the anime, but the Demons can't attack and Homura can only use her arrow skill. She fights a literally endless hordes of them until the ending theme finishes.]]

* FandomNod: In many flavors, from the amount of ShipTease to the plots of some of the girls' routes taking nods from popular portrayal of characters.

** [[spoiler: Just like the anime, Madoka sacrifices herself and retcon the entire universe. OR]]
** [[spoiler: Madoka doesn't make a contract, the party(Mami, Sayaka, Kyoko and Homura) become best buds and defeat Walpurgisnacht, and the five of them make plans for shopping trips in Mami's room.]]
