7!! The ''Crazy Frog Racer'' games contains examples of the following tropes:
8[[folder: General]]
9* AdaptationalModesty: Crazy Frog lacks his visible penis from the videos here.
10* CanonForeigner:
11** Everyone in the first game was created specifically for said game, barring the title character and the robots that appeared in the music videos.
12** The second game brings us the Annoying Drone, a robotic version of the titular Crazy Frog.
13* TheCutie: Ellie is a blond haired fairy who wears a blue dress.
14* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Matilda, despite being the sole SecretCharacter in the first game, is completely absent from the second game and the DS version of Crazy Frog Racer.
15* EvilChef: Michel, judging from his SlasherSmile and tendency to wave his hatchet around.
16* FragileSpeedster: Crazy Frog, the Holiday Thing and Ellie are really fast and have amazing acceleration, but don't turn particularly well and tend to get bumped around by everyone else.
17* GoKartingWithBowser: Crazy Frog is racing with several types of Drones (the red and black robots that appear in the music videos).
18* JackOfAllStats: Jack ([[MeaningfulName fittingly enough]]) and the Annoying Drone have decent stats all around, but don't excel in anything except road-holding.
19* JigglePhysics: Present on [[{{Fanservice}} Ellie's breasts]] and [[FanDisservice Crazy Frog's belly]].
20* MightyGlacier: Drone and Sub Drone, who have poor acceleration but a high top speed and weight.
21* SkyscraperCity: The City Cup from ''Crazy Frog Racer 2'', based on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85mRPqvMbE Axel F]] clip. Another fun fact: it's also the ONLY landscape of the first game.

23[[folder:Crazy Frog Racer]]
24* BonusFeatureFailure: If you manage to beat all the four cups in the first game, you can unlock a SecretCharacter, Matilda. Which is just a lambda crazy cow.
25* LightningBruiser: Matilda, who has above-average stats in everything: she has 3/4 in speed, acceleration and road-holding in a game where 2/4 is considered average, and is so heavy she actually has 5 points in weight [[BrokeTheRatingScale in a game where no other character has any stat above 4]].

27[[folder:Crazy Frog Racer 2]]
28* TheArtifact: The game's intro movie was reused without accounting for the characters added to this game and Matilda still appearing at the end of it despite [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome not appearing anywhere else in the game]].
29* MissionPackSequel: The second game is almost exactly like the first game, albeit with some new characters based off the music videos, an overhauled item system and some new minigames. It even reuses the exact same track layouts from the first game, but with different skins as to avoid overusing their repetitive SkyscraperCity theme.
30* MovesetClone: Each of the four newcomers in the second game shares their stats with another racer on the roster:
31** The Holiday Thing for [[FragileSpeedster The Annoying Thing]];
32** Sub Drone for [[MightyGlacier Drone]];
33** The Annoying Drone for [[JackOfAllStats Jack]];
34** And Boss Drone for [[LightningBruiser Michel]].
35* MultiSlotCharacter: The second game has two versions of the titular frog as seperate characters, his regular self and his HawaiianShirtedTourist costume from "Popcorn, referred to as The Holiday Thing"
36* PalmtreePanic: The Beach Cup from ''Crazy Frog Racer 2'', based on the second [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwI1j7sslYI Popcorn]] video clip.
37* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Ice Cup from ''Crazy Frog Racer 2''.
38* TheSmurfettePrinciple: With [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Matilda's removal]], Ellie is the only playable female in the second game's roster.
39* SpaceZone: The two final tracks of the Football Cup, based on Crazy Frog's dream in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_IAqwrvEuU We Are The Champion]] video clip.

41[[folder: Crazy Frog Racer GBA]]
42* DolledUpInstallment: This game was created from a reworked version of Mario Kart XXL because they were both created by Denaris Entertainment Software.
43* DreadlockRasta: Rasta Dog is based off the Rastafarian stereotype of having dreadlocks, gold chains, rasta hat and smoking a joint.
44* GlassCannon: Puschel has maxed out acceleration and speed but low curve stability and power.
45* JackOfAllStats: Dream Boy's stats are perfectly even, befitting of his average design.
46* LightningBruiser: Big Elk and Toro have maxed out speed and power but low acceleration and low curve stability.
47* ReformulatedGame: Unlike the console versions which play like VideoGame/FZero, this version is far closer to the likes of VideoGame/MarioKartSuperCircuit.
48* TheMafia: Mafia Hen is a chicken wearing a brown suit and hat, blue goggles, a black afro and fake mustache.
49* TheQuincyPunk: Punk Girl as her name so states, is a punk girl. It also doesn't hurt that her excellent stats make her one of the best characters in the game.
50* VersionExclusiveContent: Aside from the Annoying Thing himself, the remaining characters are exclusive to this version and aren't seen in any other version of the game.
