Line #8 PlayingWith/GoombaStomp


1	'''Basic Trope''': Enemies in a video game can be defeated by jumping on them.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob, the hero of Super Trope Land, can defeat the monstrous {{Mooks}} by jumping and landing on their heads, causing them to [[DeathThrows turn upside-down and fall off the screen]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''': ''Everything'' Bob lands on after jumping is destroyed in a [[StuffBlowingUp dazzling explosion]], and Mooks burst into LudicrousGibs.
4	** Bob can simply jump INTO Mooks and they'd take damage.
5	* '''Downplayed''': Bob can land on monsters to damage them, but it doesn't do much damage, and there are other, more effective means of fighting them.
6	* '''Justified''': The Mooks are small and he weighs much more than them, allowing him to clear them with a normal jump and flatten them with ease.
7	* '''Inverted''': Bob can defeat Mooks [[CollisionDamage just by running into them]], but he has to avoid being stomped on by them.
8	* '''Subverted''': Mooks come stock with a [[AttackItsWeakPoint large target painted on top of their skulls]], but Bob harmlessly bounces off if he tries to stomp on them. It's actually where he's supposed to shoot them.
9	* '''Double Subverted''': Shooting the top of a Mook's head merely opens up the top of its helmet, allowing Bob to defeat it with a stomp.
10	* '''Parodied''': All of the obstacles Bob comes across are solved by jumping on them. Mooks? Stomp them. Food? Stomp it to [[HyperactiveMetabolism restore health]]. {{Bottomless Pit\|s}}? [[BeyondTheImpossible Stomp it into submission.]] FinalBoss? What do you think? Rescued [[DamselInDistress the princess]] and now she wants to get married? ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Stomp her brains out.]]''
11	%%* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
12	* '''Averted''': Bob takes CollisionDamage no matter what angle he touches any of the game's enemies from.
13	* '''Enforced''': Super Trope Land is for small children, and the publisher decided that any realistic form of combat was too violent for the kiddies, but the game is still a platformer, and the devs still wanted to include some way to defeat enemies.
14	%%* '''Lampshaded''': ???
15	* '''Invoked''': When Bob receives incredible [[JumpPhysics jumping powers]] and sees approaching Mooks, he thinks back to when he played ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' as a child, and gets the idea to try stomping on them.
16	%%* '''Exploited''': ???
17	* '''Defied''': [[BigBad Lord Killington]] straps a helmet [[TheSpiny covered in nasty spikes]] to every Mook in his army, just in case Bob gets any funny ideas.
18	%%* '''Discussed''': ???
19	%%* '''Conversed''': ???
20	* '''Deconstructed''':
21	** Bob lands on a monster, crushing it to death in a [[LudicrousGibs violent splatter]].
22	** Bob is obsessed with killing monsters by landing on them, but they're human-sized and he has a normal, human jump height. This means he has to climb to a high place and lie in wait to pull it off properly. If he misses, [[FallingDamage he breaks his legs]], and even when he sticks the landing, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the high-impact collision]] [[CastFromHitPoints hurts him a bit anyway]].
23	* '''Reconstructed''':
24	** Bob is in a kill-or-be-killed situation, and the Goomba Stomp just so happens to be the most efficient way of incapacitating - fatally or not - the monster.
25	** [[ActionSurvivor Bob]] is in a desperate situation with no weapons, and is doing whatever he can to survive. Since he can't fight the Mooks head-on, he has to use whatever he has at his disposal, and what he has just happens to be his body mass.
