4 | ''[=LittleBig=] Loco Roco'' is a series of custom ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'' (and later, ''{{VideoGame/Dreams}}'') levels made by yoda115 and bigphil2695, inspired by the ''VideoGame/LocoRoco'' series. It follows the same basic plotline as the aforementioned games: the Moja Corps are attacking the peaceful world of the [=LocoRoco=], so it is up to them to stop the intruders and take back their rightful home. However, it also features a ''significantly'' [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] tone than the series it is based on, involving guns, [[TankGoodness tanks]], and frequent depictions of war, resulting in a generous amount of [[BloodierAndGorier blood and on-screen death]]. |

6 | The series is largely centered around the yellow [=LocoRoco=], Kulche, [[AdaptationNameChange known here as]] Kelche Olmee. Once a [[CheerfulChild cheerful, happy-go-lucky kid]] as in his home series, the traumatic events of the Moja War have [[BreakTheCutie had quite the effect on him]]. Thus, upon your arrival, Kelche makes your Sackperson [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse a simple deal]]: go kill the Moja, or else, he will [[SlainInTheirSleep murder you in your sleep]]. |

8 | Its first entry came out in 2008, while the latest, ''The Letting Go - Episode 1: The Hour of Lead'', was released in 2020. |
9 | ---- |
10 | !!This series provides examples of: |
11 | |
12 | * AdaptationNameChange: Kulche is now known as K'''e'''lche, and has been given the last name Olmee. |
13 | * AdaptedOut: Thus far, both Majoliné and Galanmar, who were major villains in ''[=LocoRoco=] 2'', have yet to make an appearance here. |
14 | * ArtifactTitle: Although the series has officially moved to ''Dreams'' starting with ''The Letting Go'', the "''[=LittleBig=]''" part of its title remains. |
15 | * BungledSuicide: Kelche tries to kill himself in various ways over the course of the series, but he fails every time. One of these attempts leads to [[spoiler:him and Dominus being imprisoned and then kicked off of Mr. Cheesemonkey's ship.]] |
16 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: For some reason, the Sackperson who helped [[spoiler:revive Kelche]] and later [[spoiler:kill Bonmucho]] is nowhere to be seen or even mentioned in ''The Letting Go''. Instead, these events are solely credited to [=MuiMui=] and Dominus, respectively. |
17 | * ComingOfAgeStory: The later entries detail Kelche's life from a child to an elderly man... er, [=LocoRoco=]. |
18 | * DeadlyEuphemism: When [[spoiler:Kelche is prepared to shoot himself [[BungledSuicide again]] on Mr. Cheesemonkey's ship:]] |
19 | ->[[spoiler:'''Kelche:''' It's time for the Loco Roco... to Dream again.\ |
20 | '''Dominus:''' KELCHE! [[BigNo NO!]]]] |
21 | * DemotedToExtra: The other [=LocoRoco=], who originally shared equal importance with Kelche, are scarcely seen. |
22 | * ADogNamedDog: Kelche's caretaker is a [=MuiMui=] named "[=MuiMui=]". |
23 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first few levels are far less story-oriented, each consisting of essentially just a hallway filled with [=LocoRoco=] [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] to talk to and the occasional Moja to defeat before reaching the end. |
24 | * {{Main/Flashback}}: The later levels in particular use a lot of these to give a look into various moments from Kelche's life. |
25 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Initially, the main way to tell Kelche and his brother Dominus apart is their antennae: the former has one, while the latter has two. |
26 | * InvisibleAnatomy: The limbless [=LocoRoco=] are able to carry objects and drive vehicles without a problem, among other things. Particularly jarring in ''The Letting Go'''s opening {{Main/Flashback}}, in which [=MuiMui=] explicitly instructs Kelche to arrange his fingers on a guitar, despite him not visibly having any. |
27 | * LastOfHisKind: [=MuiMui=] states that he is the only surviving member of his species, after his home planet collapsed. [[spoiler:This is [[OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace precisely why]] he wanted [[BrotherSisterIncest Kelche and Elisa to have a child together]], as they both possess his recessive genes. Later [[DefiedTrope defied]] once Kelche [[{{Main/Patricide}} kills [=MuiMui=]]].]] |
28 | * LookAlikeLovers: Aside from her eyelashes and slightly larger eyes, Elisa looks exactly like Kelche. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] once it's revealed that [[SurpriseIncest they were actually half-siblings all along]].]] |
29 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Shortly after Kelche discovers the [[MixAndMatchMan Elisa/Moja hybrid]] in their basement, [=MuiMui=] reveals to Kelche that they are actually father and son, respectively.]] |
30 | * MoodWhiplash: The first episode of ''The Letting Go'' begins with a [[HappyFlashback rather sweet flashback]] in which [=MuiMui=] teaches a young Kelche how to play the guitar... before [[SmashCut abruptly cutting to]] a flashback of [[spoiler:[[{{Patricide}} Kelche shooting [=MuiMui=]]]]] from the previous entry. |
31 | * MythologyGag: |
32 | ** Dominus has two antennae, just like the original Kulche whenever two or more of him are combined into one. |
33 | ** Kelche and his family's last name, Olmee, comes from the name of a creature introduced in ''[=LocoRoco 2=]''. |
34 | ** In the seventh entry, one {{Main/Flashback}} has you [[PromotedToPlayable take control of Kelche]] in an environment designed to be highly reminiscent of the original games, featuring [[{{Main/TheCameo}} Cameos]] by several characters such as the Nyokki and the Pickories. |
35 | ** One floor of Mr. Cheesemonkey's ship contains a barrel of toxic waste, which Kelche has the option to drink from. If he does so, he briefly [[ToxicWasteCanDoAnything transforms into his classic counterpart]], as the title screen song from the first game plays in the background. |
36 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Goudachimp bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Main/YouTubers YouTuber]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/nikocadoavocado Nikocado Avocado]]. |
37 | * PaletteSwap: The other [=LocoRoco=] all use the same model as Kelche, although with various colors and/or other minor differences. |
38 | * {{Main/Patricide}}: [[spoiler:Kelche murders his biological father, [=MuiMui=], after discovering that [=MuiMui=] secretly kept a living Moja in the basement of their home.]] |
39 | * PromotedToPlayable: Some of the [[{{Main/Flashback}} Flashbacks]] have you take control of Kelche himself. He fully replaces the Sackperson as your playable character in ''The Letting Go''. |
40 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [=MuiMui=] reveals at one point that he is over 1000 years old. |
41 | * SlainInTheirSleep: At the start of the early levels, Kelche threatens to do this to your Sackperson unless you help kill the Moja. [[spoiler: He eventually does it to [=MuiMui=] after learning that he secretly kept a Moja alive.]] |
42 | * StrippedToTheBone: [[spoiler:All that remains of Goudachimp after Mr. Cheesemonkey [[YouHaveFailedMe vomits all over him]] is a skeleton.]] |
43 | * SuddenAnatomy: Despite Main/InvisibleAnatomy being in effect for the most part, the [=LocoRoco=] sometimes have visible arms when needed. For example, when Dominus hugs Kelche at the end of the seventh entry, and when Kelche is choosing between floors in ''The Letting Go''. |
44 | * TimePassageBeard: Kelche and [=MuiMui=] both grow shaggy gray beards in the decades they spend locked up in their house together. |
45 | * VocalDissonance: Bonmucho, of all characters, speaks with a high-pitched [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Southern accent]], as opposed to the [[EvilSoundsDeep very deep voice]] he had in the original games. This is especially jarring considering he only appears in his mutated form here. |
46 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: Whenever Mr. Cheesemonkey vomits, it's always shown in its full glory. |
47 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: The ''[=LocoRoco=]'' characters hardly resemble their original counterparts. Special mention goes to Bonmucho, who for some reason looks more like a floating head with [[Main/RedEyesTakeWarning red sclerae]], surrounded by flames. |
48 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Mr. Cheesemonkey kills Goudachimp as punishment for allowing Kelche to retrieve his gun from the safe, [[StrippedToTheBone leaving behind nothing but a skeleton]].]] |
49 | * ZombiePukeAttack: Although he isn't a zombie, Mr. Cheesemonkey seems to utilize his own vomit as a weapon, and, at one point, uses it to [[spoiler:help Dominus and the Sackperson escape confinement.]] |
