History VideoGame / SuperAnimalRoyale

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The Super Animals available from the start are Fox, Tiger, Bear... and Skullcat.

** You can find Mini Animal pets that look like just smaller, quadrupedal versions of themselves in various places around the level. You can also buy them as pets that follow you.

* RearrangeTheSong: The main theme that plays in the Welcome Center gets seasonally-appropriate new renditions for the summer, Halloween, and Lunar New Year events (the [=CRISPRmas=] event features a different tune entirely), as well as the Story Time with Donk attraction. Pete's Song (used in the credits and in his shack) also gets a rock rearrangement (more or less) that plays inside the Crocodile Club.

** The Minigun is a rare and absolute ''monster'' of a weapon which lets you lay waste to your opponents by [[MoreDakka mowing them down with bullets]] in under a second even at mid range. High rate of fire, good damage, and simply [[CoolGuns awesome]]. Unfortunately, it takes almost a full second to spin up, slows you down to a crawl while it's spun up, making you vulnerable to Snipers, you can't roll, and every player within about a screen and a half of your location will be made aware of where you are. One grenade tossed at your feet, and you're basically dead. You might prefer using the [[BoringButPractical regular weapons]] and keeping your mobility instead.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The Beakeasy has posters for Kelly Larkson, Lady Caw Caw, and Blue Jay Z, and plays a little snippet of one of each of their songs at random intervals. You can tell which is which because Lady Caw Caw's is essentially the chant from "Bad Romance" over the beat from "Poker Face", and Larkson's sounds like "Since U Been Gone" (this is much more evident in the full version on the soundtrack, where the verses pretty much ''are'' "Since U Been Gone" in Simlish).

* TuftOfHeadFur: A few Super Animals have a few stray wisps of hair on their heads, but the Super Skunk has a big ol' shock of white hair not unlike an Elvis pompadour.

* CantYouReadTheSign: There are multiple "no dancing" signs in the park. One is right next to the welcome center fountain; expect to see several players flouting it during the warmup--and doing it during a round nets you one of your very own to smack other players with. The others are in the Heath Juice factory, which is staffed by the same crabs that will dance with you anywhere else on the island; if you dance next to one of them, they will respond with grumbling and a PictorialSpeechBubble containing either a frustrated scribble or a picture of the sign.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Upon levelling up, the player has a chance to receive cosmetics, such as shirts, hats, glasses, along with other things such as emotes, umbrellas, melee weapons and death explosions. Cosmetics are also rewarded upon completing Super Milestones, which are basically achievements.

* CarFu: You can use the hamster balls scattered around the map to move around quicker, but you can also use them to run your enemies over. On a related note, you can also peck people to death with rideable emu's.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Bots often display pinpoint accuracy, something that makes them annoying if they have regular weapons or downright terrifying if they're holding more powerful ones like the Sniper or the Shotgun. They even have no need for ammo pick-ups, as in the rotating game modes where you can have bot allies, upon death you have a chance to auto-spectate from one's perspective, and see that they even go into negative ammo, though they still have to reload like any other player. They also deliberately fire their semi-auto or automatic weapons noticeably slower than a human player can or would.

* HaveANiceDeath: Dying brings up a randomly selected message, each of which is an IncrediblyLamePun:

* HealingShiv: Dogna's Dart Gun will heal allies if you shoot them with it, whilst poisoning enemies.

* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: Super Animals and Humans coexist in this world. Super Animal World was a theme park built to entertain the latter, while the former being the attraction themselves.

* RearrangeTheSong: The main theme that plays in the Welcome Center gets seasonally-appropriate new renditions for the summer and Halloween events (the [=CRISPRmas=] event features a different tune entirely). Pete's Song also gets a rock rearrangement (more or less) that plays inside the Crocodile Club.
* RewardsPass: The "Animal Pass", which offers cosmetics, currency and DNA in both free and paid tracks. Unusual among games with such a feature though, is that these passes can be purchased and accessed after their respective seasons end via the vault, as well as having multiple passes active at once.

*** The season 2 ''SART'' episode "How the Finch Stole [=CRISPRmas=]" has a number of shout-outs to ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' – aided by the Finch having green feathers and the episode being narrated by Donk in rhyme.

** An amusement park located in an island, its main attraction being creatures created by genetic manipulation, which became [[AbandonedArea abandoned]] after an incident. [[Film/JurassicPark Sounds familiar?]]

* SpeakingSimlish: The super animals speak entirely in "bwah-bwah-bwah"s pitched up to chipmunk levels. This includes when players talk to each other using the chat. The exceptions (not counting the announcers in the promo videos) is Jennifer Dogna, who speaks in distinct bow-wow noises instead, not unlike Blue from ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''; and Rabbita Smith, who talks in peppery hippity-hoppity noises.

* UniversalAmmo: Ammo for the weapons are split into simple types, "little bullets" for weapons such as pistols and tommy guns, "big bullets" for larger guns such as magnums and [=AK's=], "rifle bullets" for the hunting rifle and snipers, "shells" for all shotguns, and "specialty ammo" for miscellaneous which includes dart guns, egg launchers, and crossbows.

* IncrediblyLamePun: You will be met with several animal-related puns every time you die.
--> You have been dis''koala''fied
--> Must have been a ''cheetah''
--> You ''otter'' try again
--> For ''fox'' sake, call a doctor

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Dr. Jennifer Dogna seems to think so - one hundred ''million'' Super Animals were killed throughout the course of the Super Animal Royale games, and she is not phased at all after mentioning this to the player. Implied to be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as Super Animals, in her words, don't end up living for longer than three minutes after they get out of the vats they come from, so they might not even be able to even think of a name before the mayhem starts.
* MoodDissonance: The game has cute critters and a colorful pallette for its visuals, but has somewhat serious lore, and the guns, while simplified due to the artstyle, are clearly based on real world weapons, making it strange to look at in many respects.

** The names of the ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' reporters, Donk Patrick, Howl Michaels, and Joe Cluck, are a reference to real life sportscasters Dan Patrick, Al Michaels, and Joe Buck, respectively.
*** An unrelated shout-out would be their later companion, Super Husky inventor [[UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison Thomas Sledison]].

*** Continuing the trend of characters having names that are parodies of real life people, Doctor Jennifer Dogna is named after Nobel Prize winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna.

* SpeakingSimlish: The super animals speak entirely in "bwah-bwah-bwah"s pitched up to chipmunk levels. This includes when players talk to each other using the chat.

* WorldOfPun: The creators of Super Animal World went all out with this one. Establishments include the Beakeasy, Pie of the Tiger, Cattitude, Eggsotic Cuisine, and a Pandup Comedy stage. The Beakeasy in particular boasts performances by [[Music/JayZ Blue Jay-Z]], [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Caw-Caw]], and [[Music/KellyClarkson Kelly Larkson]]. See also HaveANiceDeath above.

* Crossover: Had a crossover event with ''[[VideoGame/TurnipBoyCommitsTaxEvasion Turnip Boy]]'' in late September 2023, with limited time quests to unlock ''Turnip Boy'' themed items as well as the permanent addition of the Super Apple Cat breed.
