History YMMV / VibRibbon

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The splashes of color that do occasionally show up in the menus and UI really stand out, and Vibri's very detailed, sketchy appearance and expressive animations make it positively adorable. The complete lack of polygons ensures it's just as appealing as when it came out, something that can't be said for quite a few UsefulNotes/PlayStation games.

** Your own music when playing with a Custom CD will become this no matter which difficulty you choose. However, it actually depends on [[UncommonTime how high is the track's tempo]] and how close it is to the {{pop}} genre. Otherwise, the faster the tempo is, [[DifficultySpike the harder the track will be]]. Any HeavyMetal subgenre, for example, is highly guaranteed to be this.

** "This is what happens when you make a mistake." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Vibri when she gets injured in the tutorial. It's used in response to less-than-desirable outcomes or anything considered to be bad (such as an infamous 2007 Website/{{YouTube}} video of NSFW furry art that used the tutorial's song where you can also hear vibri getting hurt and the failure jingle at the end), though mostly within the fandom.[[/labelnote]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: When the game came to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, the limitation that prevented players from selecting Track 1 on a custom CD was removed, owed to both the port's status as a digital download and the emergence of technology that allows software to differentiate between audio and data tracks on a CD. As a result, it's finally possible to play ''every'' track on a CD in-game.

* TearJerker: One of the GameOver screens has Vibri breaking down crying after failing to beat a level. It's surprisingly sad for new players.

* UncannyValley: Despite looking quite adorable, Vibri's smiling may invoke this to some players. Also, her eyes seem to be "frozen" and barely have eye-tracking, with the exception in some occasions such as the GameOver screen or during the Tutorial.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uukhrzk-5I "Roll Along"]] is fantastic, with its 60s rock style and sweet vocal harmonies.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: When the game came to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, the limitation that prevented players from selecting Track 1 on a custom CD was removed, meaning all tracks on any CD could finally be played.

** Not being able to play track one on any custom CD. There is a ''reason'' for it, as the first track of [=CDs=] with both music and data (such as ''Vib-Ribbon'' itself) is the data track, and attempting to play that would produce a high-pitched screech that could potentially damage your speakers and/or eardrums. However, it can be a real pain if you have a CD with a fantastic opening track, or if you want to play a whole album as a series of custom levels and don't want to exclude any songs. The [=PS3=] version doesn't have this limitation.

** Not an intentional feature, but the game has trouble reading Enhanced [=CDs=] ([=CDs=] with both Red Book audio and a separate sector for bonus features, usually music videos or mini-documentaries). If you put one in, the game hangs on the "Checking" screen until you take it out. The only way around it is to copy the audio tracks from the Enhanced [=CD=] to a CD-R.

* MemeticMutation: Cakey. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Pronounced as "Kēki" (ケーキ), which translates to "Cake" (and doubles as GratuitousEnglish) in Japanese, as Vibri says the line in ''Vib-Ripple'' when revealing a [[https://vibribbon.fandom.com/wiki/Peta_Characters?file=Cakey.png Peta character that resembles a cake]]. It also has become a recurring inside joke within the community where it's Vibri's TrademarkFavoriteFood.[[/labelnote]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: For all its {{Engrish}}, "Sunny Day" definitely qualifies as a peppy, high-energy song about waking up to take in the day while excited to reunite with a friend.

** The [[InterfaceScrew vibration effect]] after [[ShowsDamage Vibri gets injured several times]] turns her and the course into an unsettling, scribly mess.
** The scene in the GameOver screen where Vibri will [[JumpScare get close to the screen]] and shout at the player in frustration can surprise many, due to its suddeness and generally being out of place.
* ScrappyMechanic: Not being able to play track one on any custom CD. There is merit to this mechanic, as it exists to prevent players from playing the ROM data of ''Vib-Ribbon'', which ''does'' translate into audio, but can break your speakers thanks to said audio reaching frequencies outside of their limitations. However, it can be a real pain if you have a CD with a fantastic opening track, or if you want to play a whole album as a series of custom levels and don't want to exclude any songs.
