History VideoGame / Elebits

''Elebits'' is a 2006 game for the Creator/{{Nintendo}} UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} developed by Creator/{{Konami}}. It was a launch title in Japan, and appeared in the US a bit later, and several months later in Europe and Australia as ''[[MarketBasedTitle Eledees]]''.

A sequel was released on the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS in 2009, named ''Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero''. There was also a 2010 [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS game]] named ''Elebits: Capture''.

* PreOrderBonus: A very cute plushie of an Elebit!

* AmusementPark: [[spoiler: The final set of levels]].
* ArtShift: In contrast to the fairly standard graphics of the actual gameplay, the cutscenes are done in an elaborate, painterly style.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler: Zero. Arguably all the other Elebits.]]
* DieChairDie: So much. ''[[SerialEscalation So much]].''

* FirstPersonShooter: ''Sort of.''

** Elebits in Tank levels.
** Also the [[spoiler: Second Phrase of the Final Boss takes over a giant robot.]]
* HumongousMecha: [[spoiler: Final boss, part two]].

* RewardingVandalism
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Elebits, of course.

* WreakingHavok: [[TheMovie The Game]]!

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Kai and Zero, which is why Zero becomes Kai's pet.]] Awwwww.

* FakeDifficulty: There are hair-pulling moments even in the earliest of levels that scream unfairness. The noise meter, for example, ignores blatant sounds as a plate falling to the floor from a good three feet, but it's apparently very good at picking sounds from items that don't even budge one bit when touched. As for the things that can break apart, you know the producers are being shady by randomly tossing in a glass pyramid in the kitchen that can easily make you fail the mission.

* HauntedTechnology: Elebits in Tank levels.

** Why did the Park's mascot had to be [[spoiler:freaking Robbie the Rabbit from ''VideoGame/SilentHill?!'']]
** The superheroes in the trailer on the stage of level 26 resemble ''Series/SuperSentai''.

As goofy as it sounds, it's actually quite a lot of chaotic fun, if you're willing to look past the fact that the game makes no sense and that the graphics aren't that great. Other strong points include the beautiful artwork present in the cutscenes of the game, and the bouncy, jazzy soundtrack.

* AwesomeYetPractical: Finishing 20 Challenge missions gives you the infinite Homing Laser. It's easier and faster to get (you can obtain this if you do pass each challenge before the third boss battle, even before reaching Mission 24). Not only it makes Elebit capturing way easier and less messier to do, but it totally ignores hitting Black Elebits. Watch as the little bastards helplessly try to get hit!
