6 | ''Slap Happy Rhythm Busters'' is a little known ridiculously named fighting game released on the PSX in 2000. Notable for its vibrant and weird design, its cell shaded 3D graphics during a time when such a thing was rare, and its unique gimmick in which super moves are performed in a Beatmania-esque mini game. |

9 | !! This video game contains examples of: |
10 | |
11 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Holemon is surprising mobile for someone his weight. |
12 | * AerithAndBob: The names of the characters go from Chad and April to Zekoo and Mercantile. |
13 | * AlmightyJanitor: Trash, quite literally, is a trash man who fights people. |
14 | * ArtificialStupidity: Despite the button reading, the AI still manages to usually not be much of a challenge. |
15 | * AwesomeButImpractical: This is Nitro in a nutshell, although the biggest standout in his move list is his beam spam super move, which has such a long start up that it's almost impossible to safely use in any given situation, and even then it can be simply blocked. |
16 | %% * AxCrazy: Holemon, Nitro, Frosty, Mercantile, and possibly Oreg and Trash. |
17 | * {{BFG}}: Nitro and Frosty have big guns they can use as special moves. April's revolver, used in her normals, is also rather large. |
18 | * ClothingDamage: April can and will have her hat knocked straight off of her head. |
19 | * TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: There's some blatant button reading going on the AI end, which is more evident with characters that have Shoryuken-type attacks. |
20 | * DamnYouMuscleMemory: Players might get a little frustrated at first when Shoryuken-type moves use a down-down input instead of the more commonly used DP motion |
21 | * {{Expy}}: Mia clearly emulates [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]] in appearance. Stealth also looks very much like a Franchise/{{Predator}}. |
22 | %% * FatBastard: Holemon |
23 | * ForcedTransformation: Holeman can turn his unfortunate victims into chickens with his birdcage helmet. |
24 | * {{Gasshole}}: Euri utilizes the exhaust from her jetpack in some of her attacks. |
25 | * GlassCannon: If someone can manage to grab the upper hand, Mercantile will go down very quickly. |
26 | * GratuitousEnglish: A given, due to the lack of export. Extremely apparent in some loading screen comics. |
27 | * {{Hammerspace}}: Trash's vacuum is capable of sucking up entire vehicles. |
28 | * HitboxDissonance: Nitro clearly has terrible aim, as his machine gun attacks don't hit unless his target makes contact with the actual gun. |
29 | * JokeCharacter: As vibrant and strange the cast is, Frosty manages to stick out as this. |
30 | * KamehameHadoken: One of Ramos' supers is a huge Kamehameha-esque beam. |
31 | * MightyGlacier: Nitro is a very slow but huge purple man who can turn his fists into heavy objects. |
32 | * NoPlotNoProblem: There's a little backstory in the loading comics, but it's usually nothing more than a brief glimpse into a character's personality as opposed to why everyone is fighting each other. |
33 | * OneHandedZweihander: Rude Boy and Jakoo use big swords, although the former mostly fights hand to hand. |
34 | %% * RyuAndKen: Oreg and Sledge |
35 | * {{Shotoclone}}: Ramos, and by extension Dark Ramos, have the usual fireball and dragon punch moves. |
36 | * SomeDexterityRequired: Largely averted; the specials and super moves are very easy to pull off in comparison to other fighters, never getting more complex than a simple quarter circle motion. |
37 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Oreg was spelled "Oleg" in his previous appearance in another fighting game by Polygon Magic known as ''VideoGame/{{Vs}}''. |
38 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Jakoo and Dark Ramos are evil versions of Zekoo and Ramos, respectively. Rude Boy can also do this mid-fight with a super move, although it doesn't do much besides make him bigger. |
39 | * TagTeam: |
40 | ** Both Chad-Gram and Vivian-Roxy are two characters that fight in a piggyback formation. |
41 | ** Merchantile has his wolf fight first, only participating in the fight when the wolf gets knocked out. |
42 | %% * TagTeamTwins: Vivian and Roxy |
