3* ApprovalOfGod: ''Madness Day'' is a time-honored Newgrounds festival where many fans of the series submit Madness-themed artwork, fanfiction, and fan animations. It is not uncommon for Krinkels himself to directly endorse fans who make awesome content. In fact, during ''Madness Day 2020'', he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BamugvgH3CQ streamed himself reacting to animations and artwork]] and was very receptive to other people's creations, going so far as to give each and every submission he reviewed a 5-star rating on Newgrounds.
4* AscendedFanNickname: "Doc", the nickname that popped up back when he was known only as 2BDamned, has been acknowledged by Krinkels in the description of ''DISSENTER'' ("He's not even a real doctor, why do people keep calling him Doc?") and is used in ''VideoGame/MadnessProjectNexus2''.
5* ColbertBump: The ''Videogame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod known as ''VideoGame/TheTrickyMod'' has brought the series new fans (both youths & adults) and further increased Tricky's popularity. Krinkels has also [[ApprovalOfGod approved]] of the mod's existence and even joked that it was canon.
6* CreatorBacklash: Krinkels regrets making ''Tricky Madness 2'', which features things like Jesus graphically cannibalizing Tricky.
7* CreatorsFavorite: Krinkels said [[https://curiouscat.me/Krinkels/post/987092231 here]] that Sanford was probably his favorite character.
8* CreatorsPest: Krinkels didn't like the Sheriff much, which is why he died in ''Avenger'' and never came back.
9* DevelopmentHell: As of its release in January 2019, ''Expurgation'' had been in the making for around seven years due to being sidelined in favor of ''Project Nexus 2''.
10* DummiedOut:
11** There's one detail in "Aggregation" that exists but that cannot be seen while watching the animation. While looking at the Flash files of the episode, we can see that the Mag Agent: V3's head and mask are actually two separate assets that are "glued" together during the animation. Looking at the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2520_6.png head's asset]] reveals that V3 actually ''does'' have a facial cross like everyone else, but the mask hides it and the upper part of the cross is unusually short.
12** ''Madness: Project Nexus'' contains a few dummied out weapons, such as stats for melee weapons called the "severed head" and the "urinal".
13* FlipFlopOfGod: The mini-series starring Deimos in Hell is called ''Deimos Adventure'' on Krinkels's Website/Youtube playlist, but is instead called ''Dedmos Adventure'' in the video that compiles all of the mini-episodes.
14* FollowTheLeader: ''WebAnimation/BunnyKill'', ''WebAnimation/MaximumNinja'', ''WebAnimation/XionicMadness'', ''WebAnimation/{{REALM}}'', with several more fan series inspired by and even use the style of Madness Combat. [=MC=] itself is a descendant of stick figure fighting animations (''WebAnimation/XiaoXiao'', mainly).
15* GodNeverSaidThat: Contrary to popular belief that Jesus' inclusion in ''Madness Combat'' was to be a low-brow attempt to dunk on Christians, [[WordOfGod Krinkles]]' real reason for including Jesus was because he thought it was funny for a guy associated with pacifism and non-violence to be involved in a cartoon exclusively about violence.
16* HeAlsoDid: Krinkels also took part in the MultiAnimatorProject for ''WebAnimation/TeamFabulous2 [[https://youtu.be/OPV_3jkEpqI?t=756 Reanimated]]''.
17* HeyItsThatSound:
18** Dedicated ''VideoGame/CounterStrike 1.X'' players will probably recognize certain pained grunts as well as some gunfire sounds.
19** The noises made by swords have been used in ''{{Platform/Roblox}}'' for a classic item known as the Linked Sword.
20* NewbieBoom: While not as big as what ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' did for ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'', ''VideoGame/TheTrickyMod'' has had this effect with various people who were never aware of Madness Combat[[note]](never grew up with Newgrounds or were too young to find it back then)[[/note]] to discover the series and be interested in checking it out.
21* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: [=MadCom=]. Unlike most instances of this trope, this one is commonly used by the western community.
22* PromotedFanboy:
23** Jose Ortiz, aka [[http://www.mindchamber.net/ "Mindchamber"]] is long-time a Madness fan who worked on many tributes in the form of games, animations and 3D models inspired by the series. [[http://projectnexus2.com/team.html He is now one of Team Madness]] working on ''VideoGame/MadnessProjectNexus2'' as a consultant and contributing artist.
24** A Madness fan and animator called Cethic sometimes contributed to the episodes' arts since ''Expurgation'', however due to a RoleEndingMisdemeanor, Krinkels has cut ties with her.
25** Since ''Expurgation'', a Madness fan named [=CturiX=] is taking care of the episodes' sound effects.
26** Kelzad, a Madness fan-animator and creator of the ''WebAnimation/{{REALM}}'' Series, made the design of Scrapeface in ''An Experiment''.
27* RoleEndingMisdemeanor:
28** Cethic, who contributed redesigned sprites of the characters, props and weapons to Krinkels as part of his crew since ''Expurgation'' and the ''Deimos Adventure'' series, came under fire for events depicted in a [[https://cethic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1182202 confessional]] that she later put out. As a result, Krinkels has officially cut ties with her, and removed her contributions to his sprite library away from future animations.
29** After it came to light that Fleetwire, who worked on songs and almost worked on sprites for the series, groomed Cethic (another person who worked on ''Madness Combat''), he was barred from contributing to ''Madness Combat'' ever again.
30* SequelGap: Present throughout the entire series, but the longest one was between ''Abrogation'' and ''Expurgation''. Krinkels stated multiple times that Episode 11 was a constant work-in-progress, but that other ventures such as ''VideoGame/MadnessProjectNexus2'' limited the amount of time he had to work on it. ''Abrogation'' was released in June 2011, ''Expurgation'' was eventually released in ''January 2019''.
31* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
32** Early on when Krinkels was working on ''Expurgation'', it was planned that the Auditor absorbing Tricky's corpse in the previous episode would result in a fusion creature looking like the Smile.jpg creepypasta. While the fusion idea was dropped, the design of the creature (named "Demon") is used in the non-canon video ''[=Incident111A=]'', which came out years before ''Expurgation''.
33** Deimos's new rock form originally had a different design. He had less cracks in the skin and had a strap connecting his rock jaw from behind his head. His incomplete design can be [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/704776276669628466/846354824153137172/image0.jpg viewed here, on the left]].
34** 2BDamned's mask was going to be a bit different. It didn't have a headlamp and it had bigger lenses, which weren't colored. In his final design, his mask has thinner lenses that are tinted in red. His incomplete design can be seen [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/354717257731145729/852063564059639808/earlydamned.png here]].
35** The fictional lever-action shotgun used by Deimos in CHASE.fla, originally had a blockier design, but the program Krinkels was using crashed before he could save the shotgun, forcing him to re-draw the weapon. Both designs can be seen [[https://madnesscombat.fandom.com/wiki/Lever-action_shotgun here.]]
36** During the animation's development, the scientist from ''An Experiment'' originally had a [[https://madnesscombat.fandom.com/wiki/Scientist?so=search&file=Scientisthands.png darker coat]].
37* WordOfGod: Krinkels sometimes answers questions about the Madness Combat universe on his [[https://curiouscat.me/Krinkels CuriousCat account]], though some of the answers are obvious jokes.
38* WorkingTitle: When ''An Experiment'' was in production, the animation was called ''Ultimatefear.fla''[[labelnote:Note]] ".fla" refers to the animation being a Flash file, but given that Krinkels kept the ".fla" in the official title of six of his animations before ''An Experiment'', there's a large chance it really was part of the working title[[/labelnote]].
