History YMMV / Transformice

** The Groundhog Day event, which requires players to wake up a mouse named Charlotte by repeatedly typing her name in the chat box until a meter is filled. The problem with this event is that [[GuideDangIt no one, not even the Transformice wiki, knows exactly what has to be done]] to get the meter to start filling up. Many times, when the event starts, players will start spamming "Charlotte!" over and over, only for the meter to remain stubbornly empty. To make matters worse, when the event returned at the beginning of March 2018, it replaced the Valentine's Day event, which only lasted for half a month[[note]]for comparison, the Halloween 2017 and Christmas 2017 events lasted two months each[[/note]], denying many players the chance to obtain the much-desired swan and rose cartouches. As a result, Charlotte herself has become a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] in some circles.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The cartoon web series has a surprisingly dark sense of humor... Mouse death is often used as a punch line, and [[SadistShow the morality of the characters is very, very questionable]].

** The Fire fur is already insanely expensive at 15,000 cheese coins (more than twice the price of most already-expensive furs), but, for some idiotic reason, you have to buy the Wind fur (5,000 coins) and the Leaf fur (10,000 coins) to make it even appear in the shop, so its real price tag is a whopping '''''30,000''''' cheese coins. And, just to rub salt in the wound, none of them are purchasable with [[BribingYourWayToVictory fraises.]] Better hope it wasn't part of your dream outfit...

* ScrappyMechanic: The "Soul" maps mechanic. In them, you're [[ChainedHeat tethered to another player]] and forced to cooperate to get the cheese. Doesn't sound too bad, except for the fact that, nine times out of ten, one of the following happens; your teammate immediately rushes towards the cheese with reckless disregard, getting you both killed in the process, or you get an afk teammate who despawns after not moving for a while, or just immediately pops as soon as the map starts, usually making it [[UnwinnableByMistake unwinnable]] for you. As a result, soul maps are widely hated, and most players groan over having to play them.

* TearJerker: In real life, the death of Xaniv, a moderator for the game, in November 2016. The blue-tongued skink, her favorite animal, was added to the game as a pet to honor her memory.

* GodDamnedBoss: The Halloween Event's giant (skeletal) cat boss. It's a DamageSpongeBoss that has easy to dodge attacks and was designed to be fought in a large group. In a small group, it's almost impossible to beat him. To make matters worse, ghost spawn on the map. On their own, they're not too hard to deal with, but often unintentionally (or [[{{Griefer}} intentionally]]) mice will end up pushing the ghost into other mice in their attempts to "[[StopHelpingMe help]]" and end up taking out a large chunk of the team in the process. Beating the cat often comes down to pure luck of how many people are in the room, and how many of them are smart enough to ''not'' push ghost into the mice focusing on the cat.

* BreatherLevel: Starting with later updates, certain levels are added that don't have an overall goal like collecting cheese to them or such, and mostly seem to be there so one can chat or play around without accidentally falling into a bottomless pit.

** Most people find the [[FanNickname Anvil God]]. The mods certainly don't thin so though, although they're rather justified about thinking such since the Anvil God has the tendency to [[GameBreakingBug crash the game]] for some.

** You used to be able to spawn a portal (in any level) on screen AND off screen, pushing a mouse into said on screen portal will immediately turn said mouse into bubbles. Needless to say, dick Shamans ''loved'' this. Then they removed the portals (but re-used them later on), probably because of this and the fact Shamans only used portals to easily beat a level.

* AscendedGlitch: The wall jumping glitch. In the words of one of the staff themselves: ''[[WordOfGod No it's not [a glitch]! We find wall jumping funny and do not want to forbid it.]]'' Certain levels even feature a type of board ("Sticky" board) designed specifically for {{Wall Jump}}ing.

* ThatOneLevel: The oh-so-cluttered [[http://www.transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Map68 Map 68]], or the [[GameBreakingBug buggy]] [[http://www.transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Map42 Map 42]], or the easy to troll, hard to win [[http://www.transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Map77 Map 77]].

* GodDamnedBoss: The Halloween Event's giant (skeletal) cat boss.

* GoodBadBugs: Some call the {{Wall Jump}}ing technique a glitch. Others call it a feature. There's even a map that makes direct use of the physics glitches to create a two-armed monster made of connected anvils for the mice to overcome, known as the Anvil God.

*** Music/MichaelJackson didn't die. He [[IncrediblyLamePun transformed]] into a mouse.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: All the mice are female, because the word for mouse ("souris") is feminine in French.

** One could say this about every level, some them can be PlatformHell, make it to where you have to rely on a cruel shaman or one that isn't very good being one, more often ''it's a combination of those factors.''

* FridgeBrilliance: The April Fool mini game seemed rather random, with a luck-based fishing game to earn special fish-themed clothing... until you realise that in France, the holiday is called Poisson d'Avrile and is based on sticking fish to other people's backs... GENIUS (and also strange).
