* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Common in many of the boot camp/flight school missions across the series. The most noticable one is in ''Air Tactics'' for the PC, [[{{SarcasmMode}} because all helicopters have keyboards and mouses]].

* AcePilot: Captain Blade.

** ''Air Attack'', for example, has a level where one of your bases is being torn apart... by ''ants''. And to dispatch them, you have to drop cherry bombs on their anthills. Another mission has winching a 12 V battery to power a toy train loaded with Green supplies. And to unlock the final chopper, you need to gather its construction pieces, which come in ''gunpla''-like packaging.

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: The second game and ''Toys In Space'' featured various failure cutscenes, complete with "You Lose" in army stencil font. Many of these tend to be horrific, especially the hospital scene in the second game.

* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: Plastic in the [=RTS=], and power, which is oddly treated as a gathered resource instead of being produced by dedicated buildings like in CommandAndConquer.

* SequelHook: The first Army Men game ends with Sarge [=M.I.A.=] after discovering the portal that had led into the human world, opening up to where part of Army Men II takes place there.

* FollowTheLeader: ''Portal Runner'' pretty much only exists because people still cared about [[TombRaider Lara Croft]] way back when.

''Army Men'' was a popular series of VideoGames by the now defunct software company [[ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]], about a war among several factions of plastic Army Men. The game was inspired by the developers' childhood memories of playing with miniature Army Men. The series lasted from 1998 to 2003, when 3DO went bankrupt. Many fans of the series laud the initial games' more "family oriented" take on the shooter genre. After Army Men: Air Attack, the brand started suffering from lower quality sequels and spinoffs (let's not talk about a certain game starring Sarge's girlfriend). Since 3DO went under in 2003, various other companies have since tried to make games based on the Army Men brand.

* {{Spinoff}}: ''Portal Runner'', which starred Sarge's girlfriend Vikki as a bow-shooting ActionGirl.

* KillEmAll: Sarge's War. [[spoiler: Every major character in the series except for Sarge himself is dead by the end of the game.]]

* KillEmAll: Sarge's War

** Major Mylar for ''Army Men 2''.
** Colonel Blintz in the [=RTS=] game.

* BigGood: Colonel Grimm.

** It was doing it as far back as the second game, where one two part mission was just one big shout out to ApocalypseNow.
