* JokeCharacter: Soulfie, the red Bug who sings solfege -- that is to say, Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do. Such a thing is pretty much useless in the creation of an actual song, which is reflected in the fact that Soulfie is the only Bug not to appear in a single one of the game's premade tracks.

'''[=SimTunes=]''' is a music video game released for Windows by Maxis in 1996. It's one of the lesser known ''Franchise/SimCity'' spinoffs, in the vein of ''VideoGame/SimTown'', ''VideoGame/SimPark'', and ''VideoGame/SimEarth''. The game involves creating pixel art, with each color assigned to a note. All the while, four "[[XtremeKoolLetterz Bugz]]" -- tiny, living musical instruments -- meander across the screen to be directed by the player across the colored dots. The result is a combination of an art maker and a music maker.

* SelfImposedChallenge: Most songs and pictures will use the Chromatic scale, where all colors are available. However, there are other scales available, and choosing one of those will "black out" several of them, making them unselectable. While this makes musical composition a bit easier by restricting notes to ones that sound good together, making images to go with it becomes considerably harder.

!!This VideoGame contains examples of:
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Zoundz, the keeper of animal noises, is under the red/percussion Bugz.
* AllGuitarsAreStratocasters: The [[MeaningfulName fittingly-named]] Strats. Averted by Ace, though.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: There can only be four Bugz in a single song; one of each color. Yellow and green tend to be melody and harmony, with which is which interchangeable. Blue is bass, and red is percussion.
* BalladOfX: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y3dz7xM_-E Ballad Of Outlaws]], one of the Gallery songs.
* BSide: Played with. Choosing "custom directory" in Settings and going with the default path given, labeled as "TUNESB", [[AllThereInTheManual as explained in the manual]], leads to some [[EasterEgg hidden songs]] in the Load menu.
* CamelCase: Along with the game's title, the Gallery songs [=AhoCalypso, BugzLabo, CityTalk, and DenDen Rappa=] are also named in this way.
* CreepyCircusMusic: The hidden tracks "Crazy Clown" and "what a circus". The lowercase in the latter is not a typo.
* GratuitousJapanese: "[=DenDen means 'snail' in Japanese. Rappa means 'horn'. So DenDen Rappa means...=]"
* HiddenTrack: See BSide.
* IAmTheBand: Loopy, one of the Blue Bugz. They combine notes from Bassie, Strats, Chordelia, and Beats.
* JungleDrumms: "Drummer", one of the Gallery songs.
* VisualPun: The gallery song "World Music". It has a very exotic tune... set to a world map.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: The Music Bugz.
