4	->''"…And to be honest," Chris chuckled, "I was thinking about [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor meeting as many characters from the 'worlds beyond the real world' with you…]]" He shook his head. "I could make interesting friends if I get to talk with any of them… but… now that I think about it…" Once again, he looked worried. "It's not like I CAN really make friends with the protagonists of the worlds in just one single conversation! It took me like a year to get you to like me! To them, I'm… I'm a non-playable character [[WelcomeToCorneria who will keep saying the same thing over and over again if spoken to…]]"''

7	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4112682/1/The_Subspace_Emissarys_Worlds_Conquest The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest]]'' is a ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' fanfic that is [[DoorStopper absurdly long]] and entertaining. It stars the {{OC}} Chris and Lucario, who embark on a quest to stop the Subspace Emissary from taking over all the worlds. Soon, the Brawl cast is slowly gathered and the spotlight switches over to one or two focus characters for each arc, so that you forget there's an {{OC}} running around that takes a lot of attention. Among the Smash Bros. fandom, it remains as one of the most dedicated stories of all time.
8
9	As the work [[{{Anvilicious}} implies many times]] throughout, it shares the CentralTheme of its predecessor (''Fanfic/TheBondOfAura''): solitude is a horrible feeling, but [[YouAreNotAlone the people you spend time with are there to help you out]].
10
11	At 4,102,217 words as of June 2018, which is the last time it's been updated, the story has become one of the largest works of fan fiction ever, and was sometimes claimed to be the longest single work of fiction ever written[[note]]''Literature/InTheRealmsOfTheUnreal'' is likely considerably longer, but has apparently never been measured[[/note]], sparking attention from many media outlets. In January 2018, another fanfic, ''Fanfic/AmbienceAFleetSymphony'', surpassed it at 4,418,061 words.[[note]]As of May 2022, ''that'' fanfic has been dethroned by ''Fanfic/TheLoudHouseRevamped'' at over 16 million words.[[/note]] Calling it a {{Doorstopper}} is probably an understatement.

13	----
14	!!Tropes found in this work:
15
16	* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: The group is provided with their own personal shop (run by Crazy Hand) to obtain all sorts of powers. Common sense would dictate that they'd be given everything, but Master Hand discourages it and forces everybody to gain Smash Coins finishing worlds and fighting battles so that nobody becomes lazy.
17	* AdaptationExpansion: A few times does the story use this, such as giving [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Wes and Rui]] their own [[{{Backstory}} backstories]] to flesh them out or making [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Ai]] the main representative of her series.
18	* ADayInTheLimelight: Each arc focuses on a particular character dealing with a personal issue. Usually, they get a partner from a crossover world rooting for them the most.
19	* AerithAndBob: Bound to happen. There are many normal names being mixed with weird ones.
20	* AnAesop: Never feel alone no matter what.
21	* AlternateUniverse: The "[[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed werehog]]" world where every Smasher is one. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain The cast is so horrified and disgusted that they forgot all about it for very good reasons the next chapter.]]
22	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Each game world has a different set of protagonists. On a greater extent, each Smasher gets a "partner" character in each world.
23	* ApocalypseHow: A Class 0 on Nintendo City. It gets better once a village starts to grow.
24	* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Up to nine different Smashers who fit the criteria to visit a different world can go. This factor is usually accompanied by more specifics or even reduces said amount. Reason for this imposed requirement is because the author wishes to keep ridiculous character choices from meeting other characters that have no chance of having good chemistry with them.
25	* ArtEvolution: The author is actually striving to become an artist and release artwork for the story himself. That picture on this page? He made it.
26	* AscendedExtra: Many second main characters from other games are promoted, particularly Quill from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''.
27	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Chip at the end of the Werehog Saga.]]
28	* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[spoiler:Dark Gaia will keep existing as long as Light Gaia lives. However, as long as both are keeping each other from going insane, all things will be kept in peace.]]
29	* AttentionWhore: Chip clearly displays this when he ''rammed a battle tank into the mansion's living room''. He gets beaten up for nearly scaring the living daylights out of Chris.
30	* AutoRevive: A special skill they all have. It only works once per battle.
31	* AxCrazy: Dark Super Sonic, only when he's in full control of Sonic's body at every night. During the days, he's a conscience constantly mocking the hedgehog.
32	* BerserkButton: Do something nasty on Chris, and his Lucario '''will''' put you near death in less than five seconds.
33	* BenevolentBoss: Master Hand thinks he is this.
34	* BewareTheNiceOnes: The less courageous Smashers fall into this.
35	%%* BigBad: Tabuu.
36	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Sometimes, characters stare flatly at "nobody in particular" after listening to a completely absurd idea as if they were trying to say "this guy is seriously not being serious."
37	* BreakTheCutie: Many characters go through this a lot, especially in the Werehog Saga.
38	* BookEnds: Apparently, each 100 chapter batch is a disc. The author wishes to go for 400 chapters. On a lesser extent, each arc ends in its own set of chapters.
39	%%* BossInMookClothing: A very unfortunate encounter with a Malboro in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' arc. In a few words, they should be given pity.
40	* BossBanter: Insults and attacks are in high demand during boss battles.
41	* BountyHunter: The supposed bounty hunter that's trying so hard to finish sidequests before the Smashers can turns out to be [[VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter Red Savarin]].
42	* BreatherEpisode: The Mansion Chapters. Random events involve multiple Smashers doing something together inside the mansion or outside the village.
43	* TheCameo: Many singular characters from other games seem to take residence in the nearby village, not to mention the musicians living in the mansion.
44	* CantDropTheHero: Chris must absolutely go to every mission regardless of what happens because Master Hand expects him to bond with each single Smasher and unlock powerful moves.
45	* CantStandThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Snake, Wolf, Mewtwo, and Meta Knight.
46	* CassandraTruth: The Smashers roll their eyes to the idea that all of their universes were all created through Chris's world when Snake brings it up. [[spoiler:They do get over this revelation and start bragging about their own games.]]
47	* CentralTheme: The main focus of the story seems to be ThePowerOfFriendship like its predecessor. However, it's not the power drawn out from friendship, but rather how valuable it is to have people by your side at all times when you feel truly lost.
48	* CharacterDevelopment: Tons of it, most of the time making a certain character start acting mature.
49	* ChaseScene: Yuffie causes this in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' arc to an absurd degree, outrunning every single pursuer except for her scripted kidnapper.
50	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Chris]] due to [[spoiler:his knowledge of all the worlds he knows about.]]
51	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Link is this, but he undergoes a very psychological issue with it in the VideoGame/ChronoTrigger arc.
52	* ClimaxBoss: One at the end of every arc.
53	* CollectionSidequest: Agitha's golden bugs. They all are scattered all over the universe due to Chip disrupting their ball.
54	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Lucario can tell who is an ally/normal person from an enemy using his aura ability. Blue aura is nice, red aura is nasty. [[spoiler:This does not work on robots like the Ancient Minister since they don't have a soul.]]
55	* CombinationAttack: All characters can do certain combinations (a total of 3 each) only if they support with Chris. Anything unlocked through him can apparently be used freely by unfamiliar characters that have the means of doing it.
56	* CompetitiveBalance: Everyone can virtually become a killing machine if given the right skills. It's just that both Mewtwo and Lucario are in their own league. Even then, the restrictions put on each character balance everything.
57	* ContinuityNod: The story has multiple nods to every single character from their beginning and (chronological) latest games. The most brutal example is the Dark Super Sonic nod that was never resolved in the [[Anime/SonicX hedgehog's anime]].
58	** ContinuityPorn: Bound to happen since the story does have more than 40 main characters.
59	* CoolAirship: The Halberd. [[spoiler:It's seemingly reclaimed back by the escape team.]]
60	* CounterAttack: Several Smashers have this. The Monk job has this as a skill as well.
61	* CreepyChild: The "little Toad girl with pigtails" that appears out of nowhere on occasion to MindScrew anybody who dares talk to her by talking about the laws of the universe and life itself.
62	* CurseCutShort: Let's keep it friendly.
63	** Yet the author is now allowing this to happen without interruptions.
64	* CutenessProximity: Peach to all cute things. To a lesser extent, ''Chris himself''.
65	* DarkerAndEdgier / LighterAndSofter: The story tends to shift between these two quite a bit in a dynamic way. In short, anything can happen.
66	* DavidVersusGoliath: The Smashers VS. Dark Gaia [[spoiler:who is truly Dark Super Sonic having taken over his body due to having a stronger negative will]]. The only reason they can even hurt him enough is that [[spoiler:he hasn't absorbed Sonic's werehog essence]].
67	** Which leads to plenty of ColossusClimb.
68	* DeadpanSnarker: There are so many characters showing up that fall into this, but special mention goes to [[spoiler:Soren]] for having joined the group because [[spoiler:he found out that Ike died so he remained behind to keep Mist from ever finding out their dark secret herself]].
69	* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:After finally getting his ass kicked, Dark Super Sonic starts to wonder what would've happened if he did manage to destroy everything and have nothing else.]]
70	* DefrostingIceQueen: The Werewolf world arc, for Wolf.
71	* DemonicDummy: Chris's Tokunaga doll. The same one [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Anise Tatlin]] uses.
72	* DifficultyLevels: The group can actually tamper with the difficulty of the missions. Higher difficulties mean more rewards and money. This also applies to the Battle Floor.
73	* DoomedHometown: None of their hometowns is ever destroyed, but the one in the "Smash World" is.
74	* DoorStopper: As of October 2016, the story has over 4 million words and 220 chapters. It's one of the longest fan-fics on Fanfiction.net and definitely the longest ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' fic. That's over 17,000 words per chapter.
75	** According to several [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/meet-the-college-junior-behind-the-longest-fan-fiction-ever websites]], it is the single largest piece of fan fiction ever written. It's a reasonable competitor for the longest piece of fiction written, period, against [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger Henry Darger]]'s 15,145-page ''In the Realms of the Unreal'' (measuring difficulties make it unclear which one is longer). It's more than ''six times longer than Literature/WarAndPeace''. Hell, the 60,000 word prologue itself is longer than a few novels!
76	* DrivenToSuicide: The story adds a little more backstory to [[spoiler:Shiki Misaki]] by having her do this because [[spoiler:of her jealousy towards Eri driving her to deep end]].
77	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: The Melee characters and the in-game Lucario are killed off-screen.
78	* EncyclopediaExposita: Just in case readers are unable to understand a crossover world and its characters, the chapters have entries explaining every important little detail they should know for the arc. In case one doesn't show up, it'll be most likely going to be explained by a character.
79	* EnemyScan: The Scholar's Study ability. It can also shatter barriers as an added effect.
80	* EnigmaticMinion: The Ancient Minister is obviously trying to backstab Tabuu at the right moment.
81	%%** HiddenAgendaVillain
82	* EnsembleCast: A large cast done right.
83	* EvilCounterpart: The main theme of the Werehog Saga ala ''VideoGame/Persona4'' without the TV World.
84	* {{Foil}}: Many examples are everywhere.
85	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Right at Geno's final battle, he's the only one who notices Sonic having some body changes that he hides from everybody. It gets worse as Sonic's slow transformation into a werehog allows his Dark Super Sonic side to come out later...
86	* FromBadToWorse: A regular day starts off on a good note before [[spoiler:Chris gets kidnapped by the Subspace Army. From there, the Smash Mansion is blown up by a special Subspace Bomb and the only ones who get out of trouble are Pikachu (who went back to Ash to distract himself from the utter depression from Pichu's death without even knowing what happened at the mansion) and a stray Riolu (whom Lucario tossed away just in time before the bomb blew up). Later on, the Ancient Minister's plans fail one by one: apparently, Mr. Game & Watch had a second copy made out of him as an emergency reserve for Shadow Bugs, and all the robots he told to board the Halberd to escape from the facility all went back to it without his intervention. Their escape is halted by Meta Ridley.]] The icing on the cake is [[spoiler:Chris sacrificing his last life to save the Ancient Minister from the Halberd's cannon.]]
87	* FirstKiss: [[spoiler:Chris]] gets one from Maylene after having solved her conflict with her missing Lucario.
88	* FillerArc: The Smash Mansion chapters between worlds.
89	* GlobalCurrency: Smash Coins can work anywhere outside Crazy Hand's shop.
90	* GoldfishPoopGang: The Bonne Family in the VideoGame/MegaManLegends arc, especially Tron Bonne.
91	* GuestStarPartyMember: The characters that belong in each different world fall into this. On a greater extent, several guests who barge into the mansion are promoted to this if they nag Master Hand long enough.
92	* HammerSpace: Up to ten items can be taken around for anybody to use no matter how big the item is. This is immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].
93	* HeelFaceTurn: Wolf, only because the army left him stranded as a trophy in Kanto and thus wants to get back at them.
94	* HeroesPreferSwords: And there are so many of them running everywhere...
95	* HeroicMime: Both Links can talk and so does everyone who used to be this. The only one so far outside the cast who has ''feigned'' being this is [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Crono because he had made a bet with Lucca behind everybody's backs]].]]
96	* HiddenDepths: Also bound to happen, but special mention goes to [[spoiler:Peach being a yaoi/yuri fangirl of deviantart]].
97	%%* HilarityEnsues
98	* HopelessBossFight: [[spoiler:Culex randomly appears at the very end of the Geno Saga and hands everybody's heads back to them in the most brutal manner, dooming Nintendo City.]]
99	* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Mt. Battle is under siege. With a name like that, you'd expect bad things to happen eventually.
100	* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: During the TTYD arc, the Smashers find themselves unable to do many mundane actions only because the game doesn't let them. As such, they can't even double jump and reach out for the Yoshi egg on top of the hot dog stand.
101	* InterspeciesRomance: [[VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime Peppita]] developed one for Fox, though it was one-sided for her. She ultimately chooses the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy route.
102	* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: The Millennial Fair in the VideoGame/ChronoTrigger arc. Due to some [[TemporalParadox hilarious-yet-dangerous results]], it became razed from existence due to a ''Laser Bird Flock'' season.
103	* ItsAWonderfulFailure: Geno doesn't take it too well that his efforts ended in failure.
104	* JobSystem: Chris' Special Ability, which also might alter his behavior. Later on, he can share his jobs with others.

125	* JoinedYourParty: Used all the time, sometimes saying more than it should.
126	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Chris, ''three times''.]]
127	** [[spoiler:For the sake of making things PRETTY serious, the story has canned Fox, Pichu, Ike, and Ness in the worst, yet dramatic, way possible.]]
128	** [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: This gets subverted later when Chris and Fox reunite in the afterlife...or rather, Shibuya's Game.]]
129	* LethalChef: The food is unwilling to cook itself for Fox.
130	* LetsSplitUpGang: The party sometimes has two objectives that take place each in different worlds.
131	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain / OtherMeAnnoysMe: The cast was morbidly frightened of seeing some of their bizarro-versions of themselves in the ''Night of the Werewolf'' chapter that they all decided to forget all about it. Though the author had made that chapter as a collaboration with another one and left a note saying that it wouldn't be referenced again to avoid giving it so much focus.
132	* LimitBreak: The Final Smash attacks and the Combined Final Smash attacks.
133	* LimitedWardrobe: Averted for Chris as each singular job has a different set of clothes. It later gets averted for the Smashers with the inclusion of costume-changing titles.
134	%%* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy
135	* LonelyRichKid: How it opens, and we almost never see Chris' parents.
136	* LoveAtFirstSight: It's a one-sided love at first sight from [[VideoGame/SonicRiders Wave the Swallow]] to Falco. She was so distracted by his looks that she swallowed the bomb meant to hinder Sonic's progress in the last race.
137	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The characters have gone so many places, even out of Nintendo. ''Mega Man'' and ''Final Fantasy VII'' are noticeable ones, but there have also been references to ''Persona 4'' and many, many other games. The current list is as follows:
138	** VideoGame/EarthBound1994
139	** VideoGame/MetroidPrime
140	** VideoGame/StarFoxAssault
141	** VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 [[spoiler:Anime Form]]
142	** The Melee Universe, only because Master Hand wanted the only two characters to go fetch Roy, Mewtwo, and Pichu, seeing they were offed.
143	** VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror
144	** VideoGame/PaperMario (entire series)
145	** VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl [[spoiler:Anime Form]]
146	** VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon
147	** VideoGame/PokemonColosseum
148	** VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]
149	** VideoGame/SonicUnleashed
150	** VideoGame/SonicRiders
151	** VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy
152	** VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess
153	** VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker
154	** VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia
155	** VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia (though the characters only wandered into the mansion)
156	** VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness
157	** VideoGame/MegaManLegends
158	** VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV, and to that extent, Porom's Tale from TAF.
159	** VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII
160	** VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX
161	** VideoGame/FinalFantasyX
162	** VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime
163	** [[spoiler:VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou]]
164	* MayDecemberRomance: A very one-sided happens from [[VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime Peppita]] to Fox. [[BreakTheCutie She does not take it well.]]
165	* MedicalDrama: The pseudo-''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' arc which only focuses on Naomi Kimishima and her team of inexperienced interns plus Dr. Mario.
166	** [[spoiler:YouDidEverythingYouCould]]
167	* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Partially invoked. The coffins with the four dead Smashers have been lost to the underground sewers and possibly to the sea itself.]]
168	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Chris and Lucario get different powers depending on which world they're in.
169	** Though it ultimately falls on Chris as Lucario decided that his obscene SuperStrength was enough overkill. It gets deconstructed later on as now any character can learn whatever they can get.
170	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Getting Dark Gaia/Dark Super Sonic to absorb Sonic's werehog essence]] only powers the monster up.
171	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Don't go walking around with [[spoiler:Shiki]] if you have a clothing malfunction. [[spoiler:Neku]] and Fox learned the hard way.
172	* {{OC}}: Chris, one of the main characters.
173	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Chris gets hit hard with this, and wishes he was this again.
174	* ParentalSubstitute: This is mildly invoked during the Partners in Time arc.
175	** Played straight when [[spoiler:Lucario adopts a wild Riolu as his nephew]].
176	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Mewtwo and Lucario. The first controls his powers just fine. The latter does it too, as long as he doesn't snap violently and destroys every single living being and local landmarks within ten miles...
177	* PhantomZone: [[spoiler:Shibuya.]]
178	* ThePowerOfFriendship: The only way of unlocking a CombinationAttack is if Chris and a character understand each other very well. Sadly, screwing things up can block him from using one again till both sides are reformed.
179	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Smashers. Becomes a whole lot sillier whenever they join forces with other groups temporarily.
180	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The extensive use of crossovers is only limited by the writer's knowledge of one.
181	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Master Hand. On a lesser but much better extent, Mario and Meta Knight.
182	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Each Shadow Nightmare to their originals.
183	* RebelliousPrincess: Peach happily joins the team by jumping down the terrace from her castle, despite the fact Toadsworth yelled at her not to do it.
184	* RecurringTraveller: Crystal Chronicles' Stiltzkin. He also sells rare wares whenever called.
185	* RougeAnglesOfSatin[=/=]WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: Quite common, especially in the beginning.
186	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Peach and Zelda. King Dedede might be another example.
187	* RuleOfSeven: The Smashers end up doing this a lot. [[VideoGame/PaperMario Seven Star Spirits]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Seven powerless Chaos Emeralds and Seven Temples of Gaia.]] They somehow feel that it's going to be repeated again in the future. To add more to the list, there's the implication that [[spoiler:the dead ones will take part in three weeks playing Shibuya's Reapers' Game.]]
188	* RunningGag: Every universe and their main characters will always tell werehog Sonic that his transformation's explanation is [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga "so overused nowadays,"]] much to his annoyance.
189	* SavePoint: Each chapter always ends with a "save file" to remind readers where the setting left and what characters are currently being used.
190	* ShesNotMyGirlfriend / ShipTease: The cast definitely think that Link and Zelda will hook up one day. Both strongly deny it.
191	** ShipperOnDeck: [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Marle]] can't just give Zelda a rest.
192	* SidequestSidestory: The [[VideoGame/Persona3 Elizabeth]] sidequest story. It's not only a CallBack to the game, but it also throws Theodore for good measure to add to the group's MindScrew moments.
193	** OhCrap: Pit is morbidly frightened of the two so much, especially Elizabeth.
194	* SquishyWizard: Chris gears towards this role the most given the cast is seriously devoid of any magic users. [[WrongGenreSavvy That and he'll be safe from getting smacked in close combat]], [[ShootTheMedicFirst or at least that's what he thinks]].
195	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Pichu, Roy, and Mewtwo are main characters in the story despite not even appearing in Brawl before.
196	** The story also goes out of its way to spare some unfortunate people from dying. Namely, [[spoiler:VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Rhyme]] gets rescued by Fox when she's about to get killed.
197	* StrawNihilist: The Little Toad Girl with Pigtails. Chris avoids her by now, but Marth brushes him off and tries to talk to her... He shortly returns without a single sense of emotion left in him.
198	* {{Superboss}}: A especially-designed Battle Floor in the mansion housing the universe's most chaotic bosses. The first one that bit the dust almost gave everybody nightmares.
199	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Dark Super Sonic + werehog form = merciless bloodshed.
200	* SuperStrength: Chris's Lucario, due to being a legendary one at that. To make a point, ''he's over six-feet tall''.
201	%%* SurroundedByIdiots: Tabuu and Ganondorf. They can't really be blamed, though.
202	* TeaserEquipment: Crazy Hand's shop has some absurdly powerful equipment that cost a hell lot of money.
203	* TheStoic: Wolf, complete with a Defrosting the Ice King chapter.
204	* [[HeWasRightThereAllAlong They Were Right There All Along]]: [[spoiler:There are R.O.B. sentries spying on the group's every move from afar.]] The only reason why Lucario couldn't sense their auras is because [[spoiler:they are not living beings]].
205	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Master Hand has had many uninvited guests take residence in the mansion besides the Smashers. Those guests are Geno, Mallow, and Twink. [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Lucas, Dawn, and Barry]]. The ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' cast ([[NoExportForYou minus Patty]]). The Sonic reps minus Team Dark plus Chip. And lastly, [[spoiler:Soren]].
206	%%* UnstoppableRage: An issue Chris is trying to stop Lucario from doing.
207	* VerbalTic: Averted...for Mario. The author thinks that writing an "-a" sound most of the time would become annoying.
208	%%* ViolationOfCommonSense: The trope goes all out during special events.
209	* YaoiFangirl: [[spoiler:''Peach''. She has spent one minute too many in Deviantart that everybody in the mansion is obscenely horrified of her hobby. Worse yet, they just don't want to yell at her because that would be reaching YouMonster territory.]]
210	** {{Squick}}
211	* YouAllLookFamiliar: The Diamond & Pearl arc has a hell lot of Lucario everywhere. There's Chris's huge Lucario, there's Maylene's insufferable Lucario, there's Riley's loyal Lucario, and then there's Cynthia's composed Lucario. Add the fact there's a valley full of them. Of course they all will look the same ( but not the main Lucario).
212	%%* WorldOfBadass
213	* WhamEpisode: Oh ho, plenty.
214	** Chapter [[spoiler:74: Chris gets killed by Dark Mewtwo while three of his comrades argue their heads off during the first half of the battle.]]
215	** Chapter [[spoiler:130: Nintendo City is destroyed and Geno blames himself for everything.]]
216	** Chapter [[spoiler:143: Chris is slaughtered by Dark Super Sonic.]]
217	** Chapter [[spoiler:156: Fox lashes out on Peppita. She cries and calls him a moron.]]
218	** Chapter [[spoiler:182: Pichu, Ness, Fox, and Ike die.]]
219	** Chapter [[spoiler:196: Chris gets kidnapped by the Subspace Army.]]
220	** Chapter [[spoiler:199: A HeroicSacrifice ensues with Chris sacrificing his life for the Ancient Minister. Earlier, though, '''a special Subspace Bomb consumes the Smash Mansion and everyone in it'''.]]
221	* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: Whenever a character realizes something bad is going on to them.
222	* WillTheyOrWontThey: Fox actively tries to hook up with Krystal, but the two always are about to reach a romantic point until something ruins it for Fox in the end, much to his annoyance.
