Tropes from the second gimmick round of Roleplay/DanganRoleplay.
!This round provides examples of:
* {{Allegory}}: Everything in this game -- the murder camp, kidnappings, even the limit that the characters have to have appeared on a Nintendo system and the majority of them needed to be first- or second-party -- leads up to [[spoiler:Ganondorf and Eggman's war, which is outlined, especially in the final execution, as representing the UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars from TheNineties.]]
* AstralFinale: [[spoiler:The ship the survivors find lifts them up into space.]]
* BackupFromOtherworld: [[spoiler:Everyone who's died in the camp, when they drain the Triforce before Ganondorf can use it.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: Clair is tsundere for the world, but especially Yomiel. Likewise, he plays his JerkWithAHeartOfGold side. Eventually, the two's fighting managed to blossom into a relationship of sorts, though both of them seem confused as to where it'll end up.
* BigHeroicRun: In the final trial, [[spoiler:Luigi and Hinawa race to hit the switch and activate Ganondorf's execution.]]
* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Clair while she and Yomiel are being executed.]]
* CallBack: To the canon rounds in the finale; among those listed as rejected murderschool candidates are nearly all the characters from canon rounds who would be applicable to Smash, plus Adachi, whose canonmates are applicable though he is not (as he wasn't in ''VideoGame/PersonaQ''). [[spoiler:Many of these characters also appear as part of the rescue party.]] The final trial also features prominent NPC mentions of Round 1's and Round 2's masterminds by important enemies, and [[spoiler:the Announcer Guy]] was killed the exact same way that [[spoiler:Round 2's Cecil]] was.
* CameBackWrong: Week 5's motive. [[spoiler:Monobear brings the dead characters back to life with Shadow bugs to torment the still living characters.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: The survivors who fit the expected roles grow into them from something very different; it's a major theme of the round. Luigi becomes TheHero by learning to be braver and more dependable instead of always following others or hiding, Hinawa avoids her walking deathflag fate to become a true [[TheHeart heart]], Wiitney starts as a naive blank slate but exposure to a harsh world and learning from her close CR turns her into the ''[[DeadpanSnarker cynic]]'', and Alastor sees that he's making his way to DecoyProtagonist and actively works to help Luigi become a hero.
* ChildrenForcedToKill: Because of the tendency for Nintendo properties to focus on {{Kid Hero}}es, the minimum character age limit is relaxed for this round.
* ContinuityNod: To the canon rounds, with [[spoiler:Clarice being a Team Flare grunt.]]
* ConvectionSchmonvection: One of the worlds is a LethalLavaLand.
* DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler: At the end of the hiking trail in World 2 is a peaceful glade... with statues of dead characters portraying the exact moment of their deaths.]]
* DevelopmentGag: A ship is shown to represent Smash Ronpa in the Round 3 Mock Trial, as its setting hadn't been decided on yet. The ship does eventually appear near the very end of this round.
* DistressCall: [[spoiler:The mocking "HELP!" in Dark Pit's execution acts as an accidental one, calling the Elite Beat Agents to investigate.]]
* [[invoked]] EpilepticTrees: Ashley immediately theorizes that their captor's motivation is [[ForTheEvulz just plain boredom]]. ''Luigi'' thinks it might be [[StalkerWithACrush more like Bowser's usual motive]] on a [[MarryThemAll larger scale]].
* EasterEgg: Monobear's profile starts to change, first disliking property damage, then having that changed to disliking the communal showers and his favourite food changed from salmon to marshmallows.
* FaceDoodling: Alastor draws on [[spoiler:Monobear when he goes unresponsive in the third trial.]]
* ForcefulKiss: [[spoiler:Clair to Yomiel in a fit of tsundere rage.]]
* ForbiddenChekhovsGun: As in every round, the characters are warned early on against attacking Monobear. Late in the game, [[spoiler:they get him to revoke the camp rules and mob-attack him.]]
* GenderEqualEnsemble: The closest a cast has ever gotten, with a 7:8 ratio not counting Monobear.
* GiveMeYourInventoryItem: Just like in its canon, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask the Hand in the Toilet]] asks for paper in exchange for hints. [[SubvertedTrope However,]] you can avoid giving it your own stuff; Luigi substitutes the roll of TP from the next stall over.
* GraveRobbing: The second victim's corpse goes missing after the trial, with the grave the students made dug up.
* HeelFaceMole: [[spoiler:Clarice, the VoiceWithAnInternetConnection who supposedly turns on Monobear, was a former student... and isn't being as honest as she comes off.]]
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Not Luigi, but it happened in a previous game.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: On a meta level. [[spoiler:Clair's self-vote is confirmed to have given Nephenee her spot in the survivor pool.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:Goombriel Goombaldi was recognized as the protagonist of the previous Smash Life of Mutual Killing. [[TheHeroDies Unfortunately...]]]]
* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:Actually pulled twice. Crazy Hand usurps Master Hand partway through Yomiel's trial, though the cast doesn't learn that until endgame, where Crazy Hand itself is betrayed and usurped by... [[TropeNamer who else]]?]]
* IHaveYourWife: The first motive has characters' loved ones held hostage. [[spoiler:They turn out to be fakes made of Shadow Bugs.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:The Shadow Bug duplicates wreaking physical and emotional havoc on the camp and the survivors. Seriously, {{Sucker Punch}}ing ''Hinawa?'']]
* KillTheCutie: On a regular basis. [[spoiler:Optimistic Little Mac is the first one dead, the two kids are out in short order, and the others don't look hopeful.]]
* LastKiss: [[spoiler: Ashley to Pittoo before he's dragged off to be executed.]]
* LevelsTakeFlight: [[spoiler:The pirate ship the party commandeers in the final week starts sailing into the sky a few days into the journey.]]
* MakeAWish: [[spoiler:Ganondorf's goal is to get the Triforce and wish himself into power. Dark Pit beats him to the wish instead and uses it to contact the living.]]
* MarathonBoss: The third and fourth trials both broke Dis-1's 14-hour record, both lasting ''into Sunday.''
* MenInBlack: [[spoiler:The VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents are this world's equivalent of the Future Foundation.]]
* MistakenForServant: Callie initially thinks Luigi is the camp's janitor, and Wiitney mistakes ''herself'' for a camp employee because she goes weeks thinking that she's still on Wuhu Island.

* MythologyGag: Luigi is placed in room 2 on purpose due to his history of being always second-best and invented as a Player 2 character.
** Lon'qu's cabin is surrounded by cabins occupied with girls. Appropriate considering his fear of them.
* NeutralityBacklash: Seems to be headed this way with the introduction of Resetti (and, to a lesser extent, the Hand), who doesn't want to "side with" either Monobear or the students... making the latter understandably angry. [[spoiler:Turns out that Resetti and his brother were on the students' side all along, though the Hand in the Toilet is still a toss-up.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In mocking the first culprit at his execution, [[spoiler:Monobear inadvertently makes a distress call to the Elite Beat Agents.]]
* TheOmnipotent: The second motive tempts the cast with a cheat device that would effectively make them this.
* OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding: Yes, the survivor pool gets a happy ending, [[spoiler:so do the dead, and the multiverse yet seems well... mostly. However, the Triforce is drained into the afterlife and may never be used again, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds and we all know what that leads to]].]]
* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:Wiitney addresses the statues of the dead and tells them to please come back.]]
* PokeThePoodle: [[spoiler:When Shadow Bug Clair's DespairGambit isn't working on Luigi, she shapeshifts into Mario to try and get at him... but her impression leaves something to be desired, as she's cribbing it entirely from the horrible live-action movie.]]
* PowerGlows: Shadow carries a Chaos Emerald that barely glows, indicating that the camp's power nullifier works on it just as on the campers. [[spoiler:The same effect is used for the drained Triforce.]]
* SourceMusic: Like [[Roleplay/{{Route 29}} another video-game-based DWRP]], there's background music piped in around the camp.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Ashley dies two weeks after her boyfriend, and Clair votes for herself when Yomiel's guilty.]]

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Explored with [[spoiler:the First Smash Life of Mutual Killing, where the class was composed entirely of generic enemies.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The first execution involves transforming the culprit into [[spoiler:a walking eggplant and then slicing him to bits]] in a manner that, had he ''not'' been transformed first, would have needed a GoryDiscretionShot.
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: [[spoiler:Ashley tells this to Luigi when she rejects his offer of friendship.]]
