4	The story is as follows: You are a small rodent-like critter who constantly glitches out, and you are exploring the vast world around you. Over the course of the game, you will fight weird bosses and monsters, gain awesome power-ups, and eventually unravel the secret of why you are here.

12	----
13	! ''Craz'd!'' has the following tropes:
14	* AnIcePerson: The Chilly Pepper, gained from defeating Mr. Fridge, functions like the Hot Pepper (see PlayingWithFire below), but instead you burp ice. ''Burning'' ice.
15	* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Planetary/Species Extinction, engineered. Loon's kind are apparently one of the few surviving species.]]
16	* AWinnerIsYou: With OneHundredPercentCompletion. Strangely averted with the normal ending, though.
17	* BossSubtitles: Parodied.
18	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: When most bosses turn red, they become vulnerable to the protagonist's jump attack. Then there's the triple boss of the Jolands, each part of whom has a colored face vulnerable only to like-colored shots [[TennisBoss that it spews out]].
19	* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: But only in Beginner Mode.
20	* DualBoss: [[spoiler:Shock and Horror, the punctuation brothers.]]
21	* FetchQuest: [[spoiler:After defeating the Doctor, two of these open up, and both task you with finding ten valuables for certain people.]]
22	* FissionMailed: [[spoiler:The Doctor creates a disease that sucks out Loon's sanity energy for its power, causing Loon to die. However, in this case, Death thinks that was cheap, and allows Loon to come out and face off against the final boss.]]
23	* GetBackHereBoss: The second part of the final boss battle.
24	* HoldTheLine: The first and third parts of the final boss battle.
25	* KaizoTrap: The player can still be damaged during boss cutscenes, so it's possible to finish a boss, only to get taken out by a stray projectile as the boss is giving his dying speech. Fortunately, you can still move around during cutscenes, so the player can still dodge.
26	* LevelAte: [=TacoSauceLand,=] The Cheeselands and the Pea Plate.
27	* LetsPlay: There's one by LetsPlay/{{Raocow}}, in the link in the description.
28	* LongSongShortScene: Some areas have a music track that go on for quite a bit, but the amount of screens the area has is very low, meaning the player has to stand for a bit of time just to let the full song play out. Special mentions goes to [=TacoSauceLand, KyldeTown, CoinLimbo,=] Mt.Political, and The Nest.
29	* MadDoctor: [[spoiler: As the BigBad. He even glitches out as much as Loon does.]]
30	* {{Metroidvania}}
31	* MinigameZone: The Crazy Carnival.
32	* PlayingWithFire: The Ghost's Hot Pepper allows the protagonist to burp fire.
33	* RedHerring: [[spoiler: After the Doctor harnesses the power of the Disease in the last stage of the boss fight, a trio of large arrows start pointing to the left, suggesting that you need to outrun the ensuing blast. But if you do, you'll just wind up trapped in a dead end with nothing to do but get killed. Instead, you're supposed to hold your ground and shoot the Disease before it fires.]]
34	* SanityMeter: Which doubles as a LifeMeter in [[IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels Awesome Mode]].
35	* ShoutOut: Sometimes, the phrase "VideoGame/CatPlanet" (or "palnet(s)", if you prefer) will appear.
36	* SpikesOfDoom: Several variations, like the shurikens, the spinning blades, the Garden's carrots, and the falling spikes from The Whoa.
37	* StylisticSuck
38	* TakeThat: One of the Bosses, {{Series/Hannah\| Montana}}, has the subtitle "terrible singer", and looks like her disembodied head with some crudely-drawn features on it.
39	* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: The game can become this if you forget to get the Chocolate Bar from Klyde, trap yourself in a location impossible to get out of without teleporting, ''and'' save at the statue from where you trapped yourself, if there is one.
40	* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Asylum. [[spoiler: But subverted when the final boss decides to play hide and seek with our protagonist all over the game world. Then DoubleSubverted when you have to HoldTheLine against him again where you last were.]]
