Games Repainted was a YouTube and Twitch channel that played through various video games. However, there's a catch; the game's textures are dumped using emulators, edited, and stuck back in. The edits can range anywhere from dumb memes to original artwork. This makes classic games look like a beautiful trainwreck.
Games Repainted was hosted by a group formerly known as TheFappingGuys, although some repaints were hosted by Dat Stream, GeePM, and Vinesauce. As for the repaints themselves, the first two, Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine, were made by the GR crew themselves. Starting with Pikmin 2, most of the Repaints played were either created and sent in by fans, or were managed by GR but open to the contributions from the public.
After an extended period of little to no activity, a video was posted on the group's YouTube channel on October 28th 2023, announcing that the channel would be ending due to burnout amongst all the members.
Tropes found in Games Repainted
- Abandoned Catchphrase: Throughout part 1 of Fred's stream of Sponge Bob Square Pants Creature From The Krusty Krab Repainted, Fred often said "Guys I just realized that there's a racetrack in SpongeBob's front yard!" and "Ms. Puff's favorite pupil". He never said it once during part 2. However, Fred seems to have forgotten about most of the game, so it's understandable.
- Aborted Arc: After completing Pikmin 2's initial goal of gathering 10,000 Pokos, Fred never continued the game, meaning he still has the final area to explore and the final boss to defeat.
- Achievements in Ignorance: Andy, having never played Undertale before, only dies three times throughout the run. He also doesn't die once against Photoshop Flowey.
- In Genocide, he defeated Undyne the Undying with only one death, and killed Sans in less than ten attempts.
- This luck carried on into the Deltarune Repainted stream, where he defeated Jevil on his first try.
- Alter-Ego Acting: Sckrunkus and videogamedunkey are secretly the same person.note
- Always Someone Better: Every time Dommy tells a story about his life, Sckrunkus immediately tops him with an even crazier story.
- April Fools' Day: Coincidentally, the day they started Super Smash Bros. Melee Repainted.
- On April Fool's Day 2017, it seemed like the game would finally be streamed. After three hours of waiting, it turned out to be a picture of the Fred vector (with Bayonetta's legs) fighting a picture of Scrunkus.
- For April 2021note , there was a fake debut
for a Virtual YouTuber.
- Ascended Fanboy: Sckrunk made Pikmin 2 Repainted as a fan project, but after it was streamed, he became part of the team.
- Ascended Meme: The Fred Fuchs vector is now a purchasable figure
.
- Atomic F-Bomb: Fred lets one loose in Pikmin 2 when he sees his Pikmin carrying a picture of Adolf Hitler.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: On multiple occasions, the person playing the game will be distracted by a texture edit.
- Author Appeal:
- At least half of the streamers love Buff Riku, calling him their "lord and savior". Needless to say, they're very pleased when they spot him in a repaint.
- Chowder is also a favorite to many of the streamers, especially Angelo. The only time they weren't happy to see it referenced was in TTYD, when Angelo sees a rather suggestive picture in Creepy Steeple.
- Bait-and-Switch: During Mario Galaxy Repainted, upon entering the Honeyhive Galaxy, GPM explains that he wasn't able to change the music like he could for other parts of the game. Vinny is pleased, until the music starts to slow down... and gets replaced with this masterpiece
. "You son of a bitch! You played me like a god damn fiddle!" he says.
- Berserk Button
- Dommy really really doesn't like Sharingans.
- Angelo gets really upset at Paper Mario's stage hazards, namely the fog.
- The music that plays in Sonic Adventure DX Repainted's Cleveland quickly gets on the Repainted crew's nerves, and they often rush to get to the next stage to make it stop.
- Big "NO!"
- When Angelo sees the windows of Creepy Steeple. It's a drawing of Chowder squirting his mayonnaise on Panini.
- Spencer's reaction to the infamous Exodia picture.
- When Angelo discovers that the pillars in Mario Sunshine's Sand Bird level are covered in Cockwaffle.
- The Total Drama OC Poster in Pokémon Channel prompted one of these.
- Book Ends: The Hard Time stream begins and ends with Sckrunkus dancing to a song his friend made.
- Butt-Monkey: Fred. It doesn't help that his last name sounds like "Fucks".
- Lampshaded by a fan in TTYD Repainted. The poison mushrooms that fall when using Sweet Treat or Sweet Feast are his face.
- "Furry Nick was going to contribute to this texture pack, but he forgot to, as he was much too busy yiffing. Fuck Furry Nick."
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Sckrunkus. His stories alone are enough to make you wonder what kind of fucked up life he's living.
- Crossover: With Vinesauce for Super Mario Galaxy Repainted and Battle Repainted's Hero Story.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Throughout TTYD, Angelo makes references to how he's sure that he'll be defeated by the Shadow Queen. He defeats her with relative ease.
- Cuteness Proximity: Angelo is a sucker for cute animals, as shown during the Pikmin 2 streams.Angelo: I like puppies and bunnies, fuck you.
- Determinator: Despite complete lack of practice and overall incompetence in playing the game, Fred manages to power through Pikmin 2, even in its repainted state.
- Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Angelo tries (and fails) to pull off a glitch in TTYD that would allow him to skip a large portion of the game,
and keep Flavio with him for the rest of it.
- Don't Try This at Home: Averted; the Repainted team actively encourages fans to do their own repaintings and send them in for the team to play.
- Double Take: This happens frequently, as some textures can be too small to see, or flash by too quickly to notice at first glance, among other things.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine were hosted on the Fapping Guys' YouTube channel. They now host on a separate channel, or on Twitch.
- Elephant in the Living Room: After the conclusion of TTYD, they decide to finally give an update on Melee Repainted. Most of them have either completed at least 10% individually, or are just too lazy to work on it.
- Epic Fail:
- The "Tag and the Power of Repainted
" stream, where Spencer keeps failing at the game, amongst other issues. However, special mention goes to Spencer managing to softlock the game.
"Watch Spencer fuck up royal amidst the hardcore Memery in our repainting project of Tag: The Power of Paint."- Angelo consistently forgets to get the keys in Luigi's Mansion.
- Part 2 of Sponge Bob Square Pants Creature From The Krusty Krab Repainted has Fred lose all of his health to a Mook with a shield because he forgot about his charge attack and uselessly tried to use regular attacks at it.
- The "Tag and the Power of Repainted
- Even the Guys Want Him: Spencer is very popular with the stream chat.
- Everyone Has Standards: In community repaints, they don't tolerate textures that feature offensive language and/or slurs, or overall could offend somebody.
- Despite being a series about memes, contributors to public repaints are encouraged to be creative with their edits and not just plaster stuff on to textures and call it done. Doritos, Mountain Dew, and Illuminati symbols are usually removed because of this.
- Evil Knockoff: While playing Sonic Adventure 2, the streamers come up with one for Coldsteel named Warmflesh the Hedgehog. Since Coldsteel is an Evil Hero, the streamers state that Warmflesh is a very nice guy.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Lampshaded by the official tumblr page:"Welcome to Games Repainted, where we... repaint video games."
- Forced Meme: Most of the Running Gags featured in the repaints are this to some extent. Special mention goes to Buff Riku.
- Heroic Second Wind: Angelo nearly falls during the Pit of 100 Trials just before reaching the end, but manages to pull through with minimal health.
- Hope Spot: During Twilight Princess, Andy frequently turns off custom textures in order to load in new ones. This lasts only a few seconds until all hell breaks loose.
- I Have Many Names: While most members are known by their real name, Scrunkus has only mentioned it once. His given name is Dartanion (questionably spelled) though he is named Tanner for short. Before being a GR member, his online alias was Gigabolt or sometimes just Giga. In his first stream, he jokingly said that the GR team could call him whatever they wanted and listed off some random names finishing with "Scrunkus" to which they began to call him along with "Scrunk". This is, in total, 6 names: Dartanion, Tanner, Gigabolt, Giga, Scrunkus and Scrunk.
- Irony: During part 5 of Sonic Adventure DX Repainted, Seth rapidly moves EVA-01's scouter in a stroking motion, referencing the infamous time Shinji masturbated while staring at a naked and comatose Asuka. Who does Shinji fight in the next stage? Asuka.
- Joke and Receive: During Luigi's Mansion Repainted, as Angelo enters a new room, Cael jokes that the game will crash. And then it does.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After tossing away a regular Mushroom instead of the worthless Dried Shroom, Angelo tries to grab it again. It promptly falls off a cliff.
- Malaproper: One of the streamers accidentally calls Patrick "Petrified Steve". It stuck.
- Product Placement: Parodied during Wind Waker.Don't forget, Dat Stream is sponsored by Doritos AND Mountain Dew.
- Running Gag:
- During part 2 of Sponge Bob Square Pants Creature From The Krusty Krab Repainted: "You've turned her against meeeeeee!!" "You've done that yourself!"
- During Luigi's Mansion Repainted 2, the fact the stream was (allegedly) renamed to "Boy Plays Game That Doesn't Look Right".
- Series Mascot: The repainted Luigi smoking a joint.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
- Seth, after seeing a skeleton on a rock in Twilight Princess.
- Dylan, after seeing Dickbutt and hearing a Dickbutt remix in Undertale.
- Surreal Humor: Even more absurd than the repaints themselves is Sckrunk's "Let's Mow" video.
- Take That!:
- The crew frequently likes to make fun of Game Theory and Gaijin Goombah. Special mention goes to the first Yu-Gi-Oh! stream, where MatPat saying that Scott Cawthon made Five Nights at Freddy's 4 wrong is brought up.
- Upon seeing a picture of Roxas on the end of a log in Super Mario Sunshine, the person who put it there cites that the thought process behind it was mostly "What's the most wooden thing I can think of?"
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Angelo's suicide in a Cael x Spencer fanfiction read during an intermission in TTYD. It involves hanging, jumping off a large skyscraper, ingesting pills and alcohol, and stabbing himself, all at the same time.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Essentially how the Crew reacts to a brand new repaint.
- Unexpected Virgin: On March 6th, 2017 Fred admitted that he is a virgin in the official GR discord chat, writing "Fuch all of you, formality is for virgins and fat people. And I am both."
General tropes/Misc. games
- Boomerang Bigot: Hard Time Repainted reveals that Racist Luigi dislikes white people.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Some of the text edits end up like this.
- Fake Difficulty: Everyone who's had to play a repainted game will tell you that it makes the game much harder to navigate.
- Fanservice Extra: The bikini-clad "waifu trio": Aridia, Retsu, and Tsundere.
- Fantastic Racism: One of Kakariko Village's residents, as well as Princess Zelda herself, appear to be wearing black face.Cael: Zelda, you're a princess! Have some class!
- Fission Mailed: Downplayed in Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Sonic Adventure DX Repainted, which pretend that the game is unable to save. Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted also replaces the auto-save icon with a "Saving Failed..." prompt.
- Flipping the Bird: Quite a few textures of hands are changed to this.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Textures that are just one frame in an animation end up becoming this.
- Fun with Subtitles:
- Whenever subtitles are saved as a single texture (rather than individual letters), expect them to have surprisingly fitting imagery for the situation.
- In Metal Gear Solid: Repainted and Rescripted, instead of Vulcan Raven giving a speech as he's being devoured by ravens, the subtitles describe the various ways he's screaming in agony.
- Game-Breaking Bug:
- When trying to lower the game volume during Tag The Power Of Paint, Spencer accidentally softlocks the game, forcing him to start over.
- Standing for too long in SB:BFBB Repainted causes the game to overflow and crash.
- Inconsistent Dub: The Repainted games with changed plotlines can't seem to decide if the characters are who they were originally or if they are who they're repainted into. For example, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Repainted and Sonic Adventure DX Repainted has the title character referred to as both Sonic and Coldsteel. It gets more confusing when Sonic is Killed Off for Real by Coldsteel in the intro to Sonic Adventure DX Repainted, and is still treated as if they were the same person (such as after Tails's/Fox's flashback in Tails's/Fox's story).
- Interface Screw: In GPM's randomized repaintings, since the text counts as a texture, all of the dialogue is complete gibberish.
- Original Character: Three of VGFM's original characters
form a recurring "waifu trio".
- Reference Overdosed: All of them, but Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted and Deltarune Repainted really stand out.
- Running Gag:
- Buff Riku, and buff characters in general.
- The Fred Fuchs vector.
- After being used for every eye texture in Super Mario Sunshine, Sharingans naturally became one. In fact, every eye in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is one, too. In Punch-Out!!, it's used for every nipple instead.
- An out-of-context frame of animation in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show given the extremely accurate description of "Luigi's chinese cowboy impression is so offensive that Mario's stomach ulcer practically explodes and he is unable to tell Luigi to stop being so fucking racist".
- "You dropped the bloody Monado down the stairs again!"
- Changing the titles of games by lengthening them in absurd ways, such as Knuckles' World War II Simulator Advance 4 and Donkey Kong - Welcome amiibo: Wario Gets Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer Version 1.13.
- Adding in '& Knuckles' is often used with this. This gets taken up to eleven in Sonic Adventure DX Repainted.
- One piece of Spyro the Dragon Rule 34 that the GR crew refers to as Exodia the Forbidden One. Crops of the Fan Art in question as well as the actual Exodia cards tend to crop up in repaints.
- "Stop Using Your Cock To Fuck That Sock", after it showed up in TTYD.
- After Damien put "every texture was done by me, damien" on the title screen of Super Mario Sunshine Repainted it's become a running gag to have "him" claim the same in other repaints. Regardless of whether or not he was involved with it. And in Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted, he claims to be the player.
- Sensory Abuse: Some tiled or repetitive textures can cause this. Lampshaded by the streamers in the Sonic Adventure 2 stream.
- Surreal Humor: All of them.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: If the repainted game has text edits, you can expect almost every character to be much more mean-spirited than in canon. All of this is Played for Laughs of course.
- Word Salad Title: Many repaints edit the title to become one.
Luigi's Mansion Repainted
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Luigi's Mansion Repainted was only done over the course of a month, while others took much longer. As such, there's a lot of unedited textures.
- Establishing Series Moment: The intro cutscene is in-engine, so the game starts with Chuigi touching a picture of Hugh Neutron on his nose and Hugh winking at him. Fitting for the first repaint.
- Gag Censor:
- The roof of the mansion is a stretched out Yaoi image covered up by Banjo and Kazooie.
- A similar image is covered up by a red box that says "Can't show that!".
- Quote Mine: The save menu gets a bit creative.
- Do not touch the Memory Card
or the Power Button.
Super Mario Sunshine Repainted
- Babies Ever After: The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue claims that Manic married Amy Rose, and the two settled in Australia, expecting a child.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The credits are replaced with one.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Repainted & Rewritten
- Deconstruction: The TTYD Repainted deleted scenes reveal that Luigi is fully aware of his repainted (and rewritten) surroundings, and is deeply troubled by them.
- Department of Redundancy Department: A text edit explaining why the player is forced to let Koops join your party:"Something about his dead father. Who's dead."
- Disproportionate Retribution: Grodus wants to use the Shadow Queen's power to smite his enemies so that his hot dog stand will have no competition.
- Establishing Series Moment: The first public Repainted game opens up with the words "Stop Using Your Cock To Fuck That Sock".
- Even Evil Has Standards: Hookertail is disgusted of the thought of having Mario rub his sausages between her feet.
- Gender-Blender Name: All of the TTYD partners are named after members of the Repainted team, so naturally a few genders may be confused.
- Godwin's Law: The Excess Express's conductor's only edit is that he has a Swastika on his hat.
- Immediate Self-Contradiction: Hooktail begs Mario to "rub his sausage inbetween [her] toes", then calls him out for not refusing and attacks him by pretending to go along with it, which causes Koops to call out Mario, but not Hooktail. Even Squidward from Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted pointed out that it was Hooktail's idea. "(rub your sausage into my toes like Hooktail bb)"
- Interface Screw:
- The numbers that denote how much damage an attack does have been completely switched around, so it looks normal at first glance, but it ends up being impossible to tell how much damage you're actually doing.
- The 'No' option for Hooktail's attack of asking Mario to "rub his sausage inbetween [her] toes" is completely removed, forcing Mario to take damage.
- Jerk Ass Has A Point: Beldam is about as true to character as her original incarnation (aside from wanting Mario to 'take her to friso town'), but you can't help but side with the old jerk when she calls out Vivian for picking up a sex toy that may or may not have been used before, unlike the original version, where the player is expected to side against her.
- Jump Scare: Because of the way Dolphin loads the games, the streamers are treated to a picture of Paul Blart's face being flashed on the screen for a split second in TTYD Repainted.
- Nightmare Face: The Bulky Bob-Ombs in Pirate's Grotto sport these.
- Naked People Are Funny: Despite some very tight moderation for incoming textures, an uncensored porn picture managed to sneak into the credits.
- Perverse Sexual Lust:
- Goombella wants Hooktail to "ravish her butthole".
- Beldam has this for Mario.Beldam:I want him to bend me over a table and take me to frisco town!
- Hooktail really wants Mario to fuck her. Until Mario is forced to "rub his sausage inbetween [her] toes", at which point she's disgusted.
- Special Edition Title: Fans were also allowed to change the dialogue, giving it the subtitle Repainted & Rewritten. The only Repaints to have this distinction are this one and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Repainted & Rescripted, since it became a standard feature afterwards.
- Villainous Crush: Hooktail and Beldam towards Mario. However, Hooktail ends up changing her mind (see Perverse Sexual Lust) and the picture of Mario that Beldam was attracted to looked nothing like either the original Mario or Buff "Mario" Iwata.
Pikmin Repainted
- First-Episode Resurrection: While Olimar didn't die in the crash in the intro of the first Pikmin, the Repainted version has the subtitle "I can't believe Olimar is fucking dead" after the crash. He gets better, somehow.
- A Loser Is You: Olimar has 'Loser' hovering over an arrow that points to his head.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Repainted
- Adaptational Heroism: In the original Sonic Adventure 2, Eggman used The Eclipse Cannon to fire at the moon to intimidate the leaders of earth into surrendering. In the Repainted version, Eggman/Ken Penders uses The Death Egg to kill Cell.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Even after Sonic/Coldsteel was locked in jail for 32 years, Tails/Fox still can't believe that he would swear, take drugs, or harm the environment. Or praise the lord.
- Borrowed Catch Phrase: before launching Coldsteel to his apparent doom, Ken Penders says "Nothing personal, Coldsteel The Edgeheg!".
- Control Freak: Ken Penders' plan is to Take Over the World so that he can copyright everything, including walking.
- Darker and Edgier: Coldsteel the Edgeheg is the replacement for Sonic.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Ken Penders knows how to make advertisements, like:"BUY MY COMIC (The Lara-Su Chronicles) OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
- Fission Mailed: The pause menu shows the Dolphin emulator crashing.
- Jerkass: Coldsteel the Edgeheg. "What a sad story! (laughs)"
- Screwed by the Lawyers: In-Universe. Ken Penders tries to take the Master Emerald from Knox by saying that he filed a copyright claim for the emerald because it infringes on his original concept; the Mast'r E'm'rald. And that's just one of his many outrageous copyright claims.
- Sex Is Evil: Inverted. Ken Penders copyrighted all forms of sex.
- Suddenly Always Knew That: Upon encountering The Biolizard (repainted into the alien from the movie 2016), Knox says "How the fuck do I know anything about the prototype of the ultimate life form?"
- Time Skip: In the Hero/Saved story, Knox's first stage takes place 32 years after Coldsteel's first encounter with Shadobama.
- Too Dumb to Live: In the scene where Coldsteel tries to trick Ken Penders with a fake Crystal Gem, the center of the room has 'IT'S A TRAP YOU IDIOT' written on the floor. Coldsteel walks right on top of it and gets trapped in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Lampshaded when Ken Penders' Inner Monologue asks Coldsteel to 'Walk into this obvious trap pls'.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: A brief one plays during the ending.
- Wolverine Publicity: Vinny is mentioned in the epilogue just to boost Games Repainted's brand recognition.
Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted
- Adaptational Diversity: Both of the versions of Double Date replace a straight couple with a same-sex couple: Snake and Otacon in the first version, Cure Black and Cure White in the second.
- Adaptational Jerkass: The narrator ditches you in the middle of Fork Lift's tutorial.
- Book Ends: "Never Gonna Give You Up" plays at both the title and during the end credits.
- Call-Back: The cast roll features the Barista (or Doggo, as he's called here) reading the storybook from The Thousand-Year Door Repainted.
- Conspiracy Theorist: Inspector Gadget is depicted as one the Police Call toy, spouting out ridiculous ideas like the sun being a spy camera.
- Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Invoked in Karate Man 2, which throws in a fake "Pose for the fans!" cue from Ringside to throw the player off.
- Gender Flip: Nearly all female characters are replaced with male characters. Double Date 2, however, replaces a male character with a female one (because it's riffing on Futari wa Pretty Cure).
- Interface Screw: Being a rhythm game, some of the music edits end up as this. In particular, Cheer Readers 2 has the music constantly stop due to DIO using The World.
- Lampshade Hanging: The weirdness of the original Donk-Donk in Rhythm Heaven Fever gets lampshaded in the repainted version: "You know, I think this one makes MORE sense now."
- Noodle Incident: The flavor text for Screwbot Factory 2 in Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted mentions that the textures had to be replaced at the last minute for unspecified reasons.
- Only Sane Man: The Badge Bunny is characterized as one in the tutorial for Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted, both in contrast to the World of Weirdness and especially Squidward's Word-Salad Humor dialogue.
- Overly-Long Gag: The entire back half of Karate Man is Sonic repeating "I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!" over the music.
- Production Lead Time: Discussed in Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted. The wrist strap warning screen features a disclaimer that the repaint was in development for several months (when the usual turnaround for repaints is significantly shorter), and as a result, several of the memes it features were already outdated once it was finally released. Several other minigames joke about the repaint's long production cycle.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted mashes up Gary Jules' slow and somber "Mad World" with the fast-paced and upbeat song for Monkey Watch, and later on adds even more Mood Whiplash by briefly switching to the DK Rap.
- Straw Nihilist: Monkey Watch is themed after the "Stereotype vs. Reality"
◊ meme about nihilism, where one side depicts straw nihilism and the other side depicts The Anti-Nihilist.
- Stylistic Suck: Remix 8 in Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted is made to look as if it was drawn in Microsoft Paint,
complete with a border around the screen and a MIDI remix of the minigame's usual theme. The commentators note that this probably had more effort put into it than most of the other minigames.
- Trailers Always Lie: The trailer and box art for Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted both feature a completely unrelated game, Beat City (a running joke in the Rhythm Heaven community). Even the trailer itself is confused by its inclusion.
- Visual Pun: Double Date in Rhythm Heaven Fever Repainted has Revolver Ocelot paired up with a literal revolver with an ocelot's head.
- YouTube Poop: Karate Man has the lyrics "sung" by dialogue of Sonic sentence mixed from Sonic Adventure 2.
Luigi's Mansion Repainted 2
- Gag Censor: There's a picture of Yakko covered by the DIC logo. It really doesn't leave that much imagination as to what is behind it.
- Interface Screw: Just like in TTYD Repainted, the numbers' textures are switched around.Angelo: I fucking hate it when they change up the numbers.
- Take That, Audience!: The save screen says U R MR GAY.
Sonic Adventure DX Repainted
- Adaptational Badass:
- Shinji goes from a cowardly individual who's essentially his father's puppet to Guy Fieri's Elite Mook who ends up deserting him after finding out how cruel he is.
- When you get to play as Shadow the Hedgehog for the final battle, he has all of the properties of Super Sonic, despite the fact that he's in his base form.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Knuckles apologizes for attempting to punch Coldsteel for saying the n-word, instead of acting annoyed by Sonic's lack of seriousness in the original.
- Adaptational Villainy:
- In canon, Tikal trapped Chaos into the Master Emerald to stop him from destroying the world. In the Repainted timeline, she trapped Pepsi into a coke bottle for laughs.
- Shadow the Hedgehog is pure evil in this timeline, being summoned with evil power, while the canon version is a Knight Templar at worse.
- Bad Powers, Bad People: In the end, Coldsteel can use evil powers to summon Shadow the Hedgehog.
- Black Comedy Rape:Guy Fieri threatens Coldsteel, Fox, and later Shinji to 'take them from you by force...the hard way!' if they don't submit to his demands.
- Borrowed Catch Phrase: Upon discovering that Original Character's precious birb (sic) was carrying a Chaos Flavor, she remarks "No way, I can't believe this!".
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Guy Fieri's first meeting with Coldsteel has him asking if he entered his loading zone.
- Call-Forward:
- At the end of the intro, the gif of Mario X Sonic that was previously seen in Sonic Adventure 2 Repainted appears.
- After Guy Fieri tricks Knuckles into giving him two of the Chaos Flavors, he says "This is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me."
- Character as Himself: Knuckles. Subverted when the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue reveals that he's a body double of the original Knuckles.
- Darker and Edgier: The climax reveals that Coldsteel is the only person edgy enough to harness the evil power of the Chaos Flavor and become the Ultimate Life Form. Yes, that ultimate life form.
- Death by Adaptation: Shinji at the end of EVA-01's story. You even get to hear his death scream. Also, Asuka was killed off in canon, but she didn't come back to life in this timeline.
- Decoy Protagonist: In the intro cutscene, Sonic is seen running around similar to like he did in the original intro... until Coldsteel appears and shoots him dead.
- Dirty Communists: Guy Fieri plots to use Pepsi and his minions to take over Cleveland so that he can build a communist utopia called Flavortown. "And this time it will be REAL communism!"
- Downer Ending: The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue establishes that EVA-01 was indeed Killed Off for Real, and that Star Fox has no future.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Knuckles' story ends with one.
- Even Evil Has Standards: During Coldsteel's story, Coldsteel refrains from using the n-word... unless it's during a heated gaming moment.
- Evil Hero: Coldsteel the Edgeheg is not above using evil power. One would wonder why he bothers to helps the other heroes in the first place.
- Evil Knockoff: Guy Fieri 3D printed an Egg Carrier to carry eggs, an inversion to the hero's vehicle getting copied.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus Before and after Coldsteel finishes "Raiders of The Lost Galaxy" and exits the Tikal Flashback, the textbox briefly reads "if you read this you triple gay".
- Gameplay and Story Segregation:
- Both of the songs that play during Guy Fieri's mech fights have Doctor Robotnik say "I hate that hedgehog!". If you're playing as Fox, then this would seem like an Insult Misfire.
- The first song in 'Final Fieri' has Robotnik shout "It's Sonic The Hedgehog!?". It's possible to hear this while playing as EVA-01 or Original Character.
- Homage: EVA-01's story serves as one to Neon Genesis Evangelion, even having music from the Nintendo 64 adaptation.
- He-Man Woman Hater: Implied. Before the final battle, after Perfect Pepsi absorbs the sweetness of the Chaos Flavors, Tikal tells Coldsteel to pour Pepsi back into the bottle, asking him to 'help a girl out[,] will ya?'. Coldsteel says 'but what if i HATE woman?' and his next comment is 'removed for violating one or more of SEGA's Community Guidelines'.
- It Amused Me: The reason why Tikal put Pepsi into a Coke bottle. It didn't end well.
- Kaizo Trap: Lampshaded at the end of Coldsteel's story, where Navi tells Coldsteel to 'Watch out for (Guy Fieri's) shitty Kaizo Mario Trick' right before Fieri attempts a Last Ditch Move.
- Mood Whiplash:
- During Fox's story, after having a flashback of when he first met Coldsteel, he remarks that he owes so much to him... and then calls him a bitch.
- In EVA-01's story, the cutscene where Guy Fieri orders the EVA Units to look for Froggy starts off with the Kanto Team Rocket theme, and then turns into honkstep when Guy Fieri begins to speak.
- Also, EVA-01 dying to release the precious birb? Not funny at all. Shinji screaming at the top of his lungs as EVA-01 explodes? Hilarious.
- Negative Continuity: Knuckles' story ends with an Earth-Shattering Kaboom and the very next cutscene shows Knuckles still at the emerald shrine.
- Nerf Arm: The policemen at the beginning of Coldsteel's story are armed with Nerf guns.
- Never My Fault: Averted when Knuckles' actions cause Guy Fieri to get two Chaos Flavor. He admits that he was deceived and calls himself a fool, as opposed to trying to excuse himself.
- No Endor Holocaust: Averted. The final battle between Perfect Pepsi and Coldsteel/Shadow had 3 million casualties. Fox is upset that Coldsteel isn't one of them.
- Partial Transformation: In the finale, Coldsteel keeps his shoes, gloves, and purple hands when he turns into Shadow the Hedgehog.
- Robosexual: Deconstructed with Guy Fieri. He only humps his robots to cope with his wife leaving him.
- Running Gag: Pictures of guns in the credits of EVA-01's story.
- Satan: Before the final battle, Knuckles tells Coldsteel that they need to use the dark arts to summon him (with 'him' written in red text) with the Flavors. He's actually referring to Shadow The Hedgehog.
- Scream Discretion Shot: Shinji's death at the end of EVA-01's story.
- Sex Is Evil: Guy Fieri says this: "OooOogh...I ate that Sonic #vore"
- Shipper on Deck: After Guy Fieri gives Pepsi his first Chaos Flavor just as his fanfiction predicted, he declares that all of his ships are canon.
- Soundtrack Dissonance:
- Pepsi's theme
is probably the most peppy song that you'll hear for an Eldritch Abomination. And then there's his battle
themes
. Who knew that Pepsi was a fan of Gachimuchi?
- Whenever a character gets a Sanic power-up, Eric Idle joins in to talk about the speed of light.
- As many fans of the series would guess, being a Homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion, the final battle in EVA-01's story plays the Nintendo 64 version of Komm, Süßer Tod. The streamers even sing along with the lyrics as they fight.
- The music that plays during dramatic and Tear Jerker scenes are also replaced. So now you can watch Original Character beg Shinji not to shoot Coldsteel while Diddy Bramble Stage Clear
plays and Tikal and the Pepsi Chao's get trampled while Flea Market Montgomery
plays.
- Pepsi's theme
- Spiritual Antithesis: At the climax of Sonic Adventure, Chaos absorbs all of the negative energy in the Chaos Emeralds, and Sonic recharges the emeralds with positive energy. At the climax of the Repainted version, however, Pepsi absorbs all of the sweetness in the Chaos Flavors, and Coldsteel is the only one edgy enough to fill up the bitter flavor cores with evil power.
- Spoofed with Their Own Words: We have this gem after "Or else I'll take them from you by force...the hard way!":(Left unedited because this is already funny)
- Stealth Pun: After defeating Pepsi's fourth form, a blue screen fades in to say one thing to Hentai haters... and then shows Guy Fieri eating pizza. Food Porn?
- Straw Nihilist: Coldsteel, upon encountering Guy Fieri fleeing to "Final Fieri", declares that he'll "lecture him about my Nihilist philosophies!". Also, his ending theme is changed to SiIvaGunner's version of "It Doesn't Matter", further proving his status as this.
- Stylistic Suck:
- The Sky Chase levels are called 'Poor Mans Star Fox' and 'Poor Mans Star Fox 2', with music to match.
- Amy Rose is now "Original Character", a deliberate bad recolor. When she appears in the intro cutscene, everything temporarily gets redrawn poorly in Microsoft Paint and the music goes MIDI.
- Take That!:
- The intro has one to all of gaming: "Among all the gaming franchises across all of history, there's probably none that are actually any good."
- EVA-01's story is full of potshots towards Neon Genesis Evangelion; saying that Asuka as a shit waifu and that Misato is better and everyone knows, claiming that the Repainted is probally deeper than Evangelion, refraining from making a clever joke since it'll probably be a spoiler, having Shinji scream as he dies, having him say "I'm so fucked up" at the end of the credits, proving his status as the Butt-Monkey...
- Too Dumb to Live: Coldsteel, again. If it weren't for the game's script, he would have died long ago.
- Guy Fieri tells Coldsteel to go to the kitchen door of the 3D-printed Egg Carrier so that they can hang out. Coldsteel remarks that there's no way that it could be a trap.
- Later, when Coldsteel sees Navi heading towards "Raiders of The Lost Galaxy", he states that a light is heading him to danger and checks off the 'Ignore any warnings' box.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: Coldsteel is much more of an asshole than he was in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Repainted, calling Guy Fieri a 'lonely piece of shit', laughing at the deaths of Pepsi Chaos, and suggesting that he hates woman when Tikal asks him for help. By the climax of the game, he turns into an outright Evil Hero, as he gets filled up with enough evil power to turn into Shadow the Hedgehog. Technically an inversion, if taken as a prequel.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: A brief one, just like in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Repainted.
- Willing Channeler: This is how Coldsteel turns into Shadow the Hedgehog for the final battle.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: After losing the third Chaos Flavor to Guy Fieri and waking up from his sleeping gas, Coldsteel points out that Guy could have just killed him and Fox, but he didn't. "That guy must be a lonely piece of shit."
Deltarune Repainted
- Adaptational Heroism: In the original Undertale, Chara and Flowey were main antagonists. In Deltarune Repainted, they live with Frisk, Toriel and Kris, and they've joined Frisk on an (offscreen) adventure in the Dark World where they learn about friendship.
- Call-Back: The final choice in the game has its answers changed to "YEE HAW" and "YEE NAW", which is the same edit that was made to the final choice in Undertale Repainted, albeit taken completely out of context.
- Fighting Spirit: Susie is now a walking Jojos Bizarre Adventure reference, with sprite edits that depict her posing while her spirit does whatever she did orignally.
- Forced Meme: The Central Theme of Deltarune Repainted turns out to be Old Memes (Dank-ners) vs. New Memes (Lit-ners), leading to the forcing itself being a plot point.
- Forced Transformation: Niko transforms into Koichi due to meme poisoning.
- Hero of Another Story: The trio of Flowey, Chara, and Frisk are seen on their own adventure learning about friendship, and have apparently accomplished their goal by the time of their appearance in Bayonetta's room.
- Screwed by the Lawyers: In-Universe, just before Doctor Robotnik can finish off Kris in the final battle, an angry mob of Toby Fox's Annoying Dogs arrive to DMCA the repaint and decide to throw him into "The Pit".
- Significant Anagram: Since Deltarune is already one to Undertale, Deltarune Repainted is anagrammed into "Nudealert".
- Stylistic Suck: Many of the textures in Deltarune Repainted are memes garishly plastered everywhere, to reflect the overall theme of Old Memes vs. New Memes.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Rudy is replaced by Will Smith and is not Noelle's father.
