Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: The cover art depicts Eddie with a mustache, though he doesn't have one in game due to graphical limitations.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Removed entries. He's probably not fast enough to count for Super Speed, and indexes are not tropes.





* PlatformGame: Obviously modeled after ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
* SuperSpeed: The title contains the word "fast", and Eddie's quick in the game, too.

Added some clarification.


There's no actual plot, so gameplay will be described instead. You play as Fast Eddie, who collects the levels' prizes (Hearts, tanks or fish for instance) and avoids Sneakers, who are blue {{Waddling Head}}s. At the top, there's an orange Sneaker named Hi-Top who's too high to jump over at first, but as Eddie collects prizes, Hi-Top gets shorter. After collecting nine prizes, Hi-Top turns normal size and Eddie can grab the key, which allows him to move on to the next level.

I think I've exhausted everything out of the game I could... for now. Page gets created.

->''"You've got to be quick and you've got to be steady\\
The skills you need to play Fast Eddie\\
He's on his way to the top\\
And man can he hop\\
And when you think you're the master\\
You face a disaster\\
'Cause the Sneakers are coming\\
So you better get running\\
And when you catch all the prizes\\
There's even more sizes\\
Cause when you get to the top and go after the key,\\
You can still get stomped by Hi-Top, you see.''"

!!He's on his way to the top, and man, can he trope:
* {{Acrofatic}}: The cover art shows Eddie as quite chubby, and he's fast, of course. Though in game, he has an average stature.
* BadassMustache: The cover art depicts Eddie with a mustache, though he doesn't have one in game due to graphical limitations.
* DifficultyByAcceleration: Later levels' Sneakers get much faster.
* EndlessGame: The game has no ending, even if you get 99990 points.
* HeartSymbol: The heart prizes on level one look that way.
* NoPlotNoProblem: There's no real plot to speak of.
* SuperSpeed: The title contains the word "fast", and Eddie's quick in the game, too.
* TankGoodness: The third level's prizes are tanks.
* UndergroundMonkey: Some Sneakers from the later levels may be twice, or even three times as wide (though slightly shorter) than the normal ones.
* WaddlingHead: Sneakers basically look like blue Goombas, before Goombas even existed.
