Line #80 VideoGame/KoopaTV


1	''Website/KoopaTV'' released several browser-based videogames using MIT's Scratch tool. In total, they have released ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'', ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'', ''Capture the Confederate Flag'', ''The Wonderful 1237'', ''Soviet Missile Run'' and ''Fire Withdraw''.
2
3	The purpose of these games is to bring value to the readers, but also to illustrate some of the points that [=KoopaTV=] talks about, whether it be about game design or culture. [=KoopaTV=]'s videogames are designed to be controversial. Some have been parodies or based on the mechanics of other games. ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' bills itself as part of the VideoGame/PunchOut series, while ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'' is a "spiritual sequel" to ''Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian'' made by Bendilin. ''Capture the Confederate Flag'' and ''Soviet Missile Run'' appear to be original, while ''The Wonderful 1237'' explicitly is based on ''VideoGame/PocketCardJockey'', at least mechanically. ''Fire Withdraw'' was also explicitly designed to be a gameplay progression of Egg Catcher from VideoGame/KirbysAdventure and Rock Harden from VideoGame/PokemonStadium.

7	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Chad Joseph now displays aggression and gusto, whereas before he was a complete BlankSlate.
8	* BlackMagic: The driving force of the game's plot. [[spoiler:Employed by Mad King Sharpnard.]]
9	* EasyModeMockery: There is a unique character ending edit to Little Mac's aftermath in the credits if you use the cheat code that makes Mac super strong.
10	* EdibleAmmunition: Rachel Jeantel tosses various food sprites from VideoGame/PaperMario at Mac.
11	* EveryoneHasASpecialMove:
12	** Little Mac has his Star Punch at the end of the game.
13	** Gosha's whole sprite changes and rams you with his arms, though it looks like [[ZombiePukeAttack something else]].
14	** Chad Joseph splits into clones and follows up by throwing a [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang beta PlayStation 3 controller]] at you.
15	** Rachel Jeantel's final form has PrehensileHair from a blow-dryer.
16	** [[spoiler:Trayvon Tyson's body contorts into a swastika and he rams you with it.]]
17	** [[spoiler:Mad King Sharpnard closes out the game by being a TennisBoss.]]
18	* HopelessBossFight: Though this is at the penultimate fight of the game, not at the beginning. The final boss makes himself invincible, and Mac can't even dodge most of his attacks.
19	* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: [[spoiler: Mad King Sharpnard]]'s Black Magic is colored purple. Overlaps with TechnicolorMagic.
20	* RollingAttack: Rachel Jeantel rolls on her side to try to flatten Little Mac.
21	* TheEndingChangesEverything: It's revealed in the epilogue that [[spoiler: Sharpnard's minions weren't as bad as everyone thought. Conversely, Mac's coach Adam Pollock is worse.]]
22	* ThinkOfTheChildren: On October 1, 2015 Scratch removed ''Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' for being "too violent or scary".
23	* VehicularAssault: The first boss turns into a car to ram Little Mac when he's desperate.

27	* BrokenAesop: For participants 13 or younger, they get redirected to a voice-acted life lesson page saying it's okay to defend yourself, and to treat women with respect. Of course, for those that play the game, this lesson is expressed through the glorification of violence.
28	* ClosingCredits: The credits for the game are astronomically longer than the game itself, and are astronomically long for a flash game of any sort.
29	* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Or twenty (twenty-one).
30	* [[spoiler:GroinAttack: One of the possible endings is that Anita kicks Bendilin in the crotch. It's the only ending where he survives.]]
31	* OnlyAFleshWound: It takes a total of 20 bullets for Bendilin to surrender, and even then he isn't actually dead.
32	* SubsystemDamage: The entire point of the gameplay is that you need to shoot each of Bendilin's many different body parts.
33	* ThinkOfTheChildren: On August 2, 2015 Scratch removed ''Defend Anita Sarkeesian'' for being "too mature". It returned November 16 and tried to direct younger viewers to the Broken Aesop above.
34	* WithLyrics: "Get a Gun" is a lyrical version of ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound\|1994}}'''s "Smiles and Tears".

37	!! [[http://www.koopatv.org/2015/12/PLAY-capture-the-confederate-flag.html ''Capture the Confederate Flag'']]
38	* CharacterPortrait: Every character who talks in a cutscene has one.
39	* ContextSensitiveButton: The very last fight of the game has different attacks come out depending on the distance between you and the boss.
40	* DamselInDistress: Also Petilil and Lilligant, being held captive by "terrorists and perverts" in each state.
41	* DeepSouth: The setting for the game. Applies it respectfully.
42	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Petilil and/or Lilligant, in three of the four endings, sacrifice themselves with Healing Wish to restore Robert's health. They never appear in the story again. This happens even if Robert is really healthy.]]
43	* OminousLatinChanting: The very final boss fight features the Dixie Land song Google-Translated into Latin.
44	* PressXToNotDie: Lampshaded and Parodied, since the game presents a dialogue box labeled “QUICKTIME EVENT!”. Then Conversed if you wait long enough when it says, “What are you waiting for? Press the Spacebar!”
45	* SouthernBelle: Petilil and Lilligant.

49	* BraggingRightsReward: Apparently the beating of the game by anyone not named Ludwig.
50	* DialogDuringGameplay: Jeb Bush invokes this by telling you how many seconds you have left to press space, which only serves as an annoying distraction.
51	* EdutainmentGame: The whole game teaches you the political process. Bobby Jindal teaches you math.
52	* GameplayGrading: Each endorsement minigame scores your performance and awards 0% to 100% of the candidate's delegates accordingly.
53	* HalfHumanHybrid: George Pataki the half-human half-giraffe.
54	* LoadingScreen: There are 30 tips screens that are randomly chosen in-between game rounds.
55	* MinigameGame
56	* NotHyperbole: Much of what ''should'' be fictional isn't fictional in the least. Not even Rand Paul's "Chainsaw the Tax Code."
57	* PoliticalCartoons: The video game version of these, when you think about it.
58	* ShoutOut: The game's title is a shout-out to ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101''.
59	* StickFigureAnimation: Lindsey Graham and John [=McCain=] as they stick-dance in "Follow the Leader."
60	* YouAreFat: Of all ''The Wonderful 1237'' minigames, Chris Christie's "Build a Burger" has the biggest file size.

63	!! [[http://www.koopatv.org/2017/12/play-soviet-missile-run-right-here.html ''Soviet Missile Run'']]
64	* BeepingComputers: More like Beeping Missiles, but the point is that you'll be hearing a lot of beeps.
65	* BombDisposal: You're tasked with this before you go up against the final boss. Comes in the form of a MiniGame.
66	* CheckPoint: After a game over, you have the option of returning to the start of the game, or retrying the level you just died in, including individual checkpoints for each phase of the boss battle.
67	* DirectionallySolidPlatforms: You can climb aboard a missile from any direction.
68	* DoomsdayDevice: The Soviets have a missile capable of destroying the world. The goal of the game is to take it out.
69	* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Varya. Possibly quintuple, sextuple, or even more.
70	* DudeNotFunny: Real-world missile crises were not nearly as relevant a topic when ''Soviet Missile Run'' entered development as they were when it left it.
71	* ExposedToTheElements: Varya battles the cold wearing everything you'd expect...[[StockingFiller from the waist up]].
72	* GameOver: The Soviets took over the world. And speaking of over, that's your game too!
73	* HuskyRusskie: Boris couldn't be more of one.
74	* LevelGoal: The platforming levels have a red flag at the end of them that you need to touch to end the level.
75	* MacrossMissileMassacre: The setting for most of the game.
76	* MiniGame: To defuse the missile, you suddenly have to play a mini-game where you are in top-down control and need to collect three wires while bypassing electric gates.
77	* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: She made Boris so strong that he can lug around a ballistic missile wherever he goes.
78	* ProjectilePlatform: This is generally how you navigate.
79	* RidingTheBomb: The game parodies the famous moment from [[Film/DrStrangelove Dr. Strange Love]].
80	* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Viktor is the most prominent NPC in the game, and Varya never fights him. He ends up dying off-screen in a cutscene.]]
81	* VictoryPose: Varya pulls out her camera and takes a snapshot.
82	* VictoryQuote: "I vun!", right before the VictoryPose.
83	* VideoGameTutorial: Called Level 0: Bootcamp, it introduces players to game mechanics (dropping missiles on switches) that aren't seen again until the final boss fight. Also features context-sensitive pop-ups telling you the controls.

87	* BigBrotherInstinct: Chad is the responsible big brother to Virgil (who is portrayed as disabled and can't really fend for himself) and tries to protect his younger brother, which is in contrast to...
88	* ChildishOlderSibling: Mario, the older brother, is portrayed as violent and reckless, and Luigi has to bail him out when he starts the fight with Virgil that encompasses ''Fire Withdraw'''s plot.
89	* DoomedHometown: The game's prologue begins with Mario burning down Virgil and Chad's house for fun.
90	* ForTheEvulz: How Mario is portrayed.
