History WebAnimation / FreezeFlame

* AdaptationExpansion: In truckloads.
** For starters, Bowser is a descendant of ''many'' historical figures and has a cousin named Tyson, who constantly plots against the Koopa Troop to claim their king's throne. He's also given a complex backstory, having several of his loved ones pass away and undergoing a level of CharacterDevelopment to reach his kingly status.
** Of course, the Koopalings are also given better developed personalities, with each of them having their own vices, dynamic, relationships, and interests. And while they didn't have a clear backstory in the games, in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' continuity, where they came from and how they became Bowser's children gets explained.
** The Koopa Kingdom as a whole is more explored in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' universe, mainly their history and how their society works.
** King K. Rool's background is also fleshed out in the series, becoming a far more sympathetic character because of this. Similarly, the current Donkey Kong Jr. and his wife are finally shown.
** While a self-proclaimed king in the games, he runs a Goomburger business in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' continuity. Like K. Rool and Bowser, his family tree is also explored, though they mostly run the Goomburger like Dedede and look exactly like him.

* AlternateContinuity: Of the Nintendo canon, which is primarily indicated by Bowser, the Kongs, and King K. Rool's backgrounds in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' Universe.

''Bowser's Koopalings'' is the DenserAndWackier of all the shows. The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[ButtMonkey Larry]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], [[OnlySaneMan Iggy]], and [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]]. The series showcases a mostly DysfunctionalFamily given the personalities of the Koopalings and Bowser favouring his biological son, [[BrattyHalfPint Bowser Koopa III]] (Bowser Jr.), as [[BitchInSheepsClothing he pretends being nice and innocent]] when in reality [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's anything but]]. Despite this, the Koopalings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Tiny, Dixie and Katryna have this dynamic. Tiny is the Beauty (being a DumbBlonde who constantly flirts with other men, but that is still a good person at hand) Dixie is the Brains (being the smartest and most rational of the trio, which compliments her DeadpanSnarker personality), and Katryna is the Brawn (being significantly less feminine than Tiny and Dixie, not afraid of what she says or what others may think of her).

* BornUnlucky: The Universe itself seems to love making Diddy suffer.

* SharedUniverse: Each show has their own distinct identities, but clearly exist in the same continuity. A few characters have even appeared in more than one show, such as King Dedede, King K. Rool, or Titch Smalley.

** Of course, the Koopalings are also given better developed personalities, with each of them having their own vices, dynamic, relationships, and interests. And while they didn't have a clear backstory in the games, in the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' continuity, where they came from and how they became Bowser's children are answered.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Bowser, King K. Rool, and the Koopa Kingdom as a whole were the primary villains of their home series. In the ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'', they're not at all evil and are instead protagonists.

* {{Crossover}}: With ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''Franchise/DonkeyKongCountry'', [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]], and Franchise/{{Kirby}}.

* {{Crossover}}: With Franchise/SuperMarioBros, Franchise/DonkeyKong, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]], and Franchise/{{Kirby}}.

* FloatingTimeline: In all of the three shows, characters acknowledge that time passes, but none of them look any older than when their respective series first started

* VillainProtagonist: Each of ''[=FreezeFlame22=]'' shows place focus on the bad guys and villains of Nintendo franchises, including Bowser and his Koopa Troop or King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew, with the supporting cast being almost entirely comprised of enemies and antagonists from Nintendo games, such as Koopa Troopas, Goombas, King Dedede, Chef Kawasaki, etc. The exception to this are the Kongs in ''Donkey Kong Island'', but even DK has his moments of being a rouge in the ''Mario'' series.

The style is in sprites, but ironically, they are quite expressive. All of the Nintendo characters are given an expansion of HiddenDepths. These guys technically originated from a prototype series called ''The Koopa Kids''. The series was popular but Freeze wasn't satisfied. So he rebooted the series, and gave a lot of the side characters their own personalities and spin-offs, most notably, the AscendedExtra, ''[[ProtagonistTitle Carl]]''. ''Bowser's Koopalings'', originally ''Bowser's Children'' is the ContinuityReboot of ''The Koopa Kids'', ''Donkey Kong Island'' is the newest of the three shows, and ''Wars of Frozen Flames'' is a four-part mini-series that goes into detail about the lore of the franchise's universe.

Generally, all three of Freeze's series features [[WorldOfSnark a ton of]] [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers]]. We also get tons of ReferenceOverdosed. Every episode gets at least a few of these.

The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[OnlySaneMan Iggy]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]], and [[ButtMonkey Larry]].

Despite this, the Koopalings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.

* AdultsAreUseless: Most of the adults in the show are shown to be either stupid, abusive, unbearable, or all three combined. The parents of the main characters are particularlly notorious in this regard:

** Blooper is regularly bullied by his older brothers mainly because his mother doesn't care and blows off all the stress she has accumulated by insulting her children.

** Roxanne's parents [[TrophyChild essentially treat her like a trophy]]. They do nothing but brag about her all the time and completely fail to see that their daughter is an emotional wreck as a result of her failed relationships. Also, during the time Roxanne was kidnapped, her mother did nothing but angrily demand that people helped her while also demeaning anyone who tried to contribute or comfort her, whereas her father straight up didn't even ''notice'' that she had been missing for a month. There's also them either forgetting about the existance of their older son Liam, or constantly comparing him to Roxanne, [[FreudianExcuse which is likely the reason why Liam is who he is today]].

** Generally averted with Carl's mother and Grace's father, who often look out for their children's well-beings. Carl's step-father Zig-Zags this, as while he definitely tries, he sometimes fails at being a good example for his kids.

* TwoGirlsToATeam: Until Katryna made her debut, Dixie and Tiny were the only female prominent characters.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The female characters are put into {{Slapstick}} and suffer from AmusingInjuries as much as the male characters do.

* FloatingTimeline: In all of the three shows, characters aknowledge that time passes, but none of them look any older than when their respective series first started

** Completely averted for the ''Wars of Frozen Flames'' mini-series, but that's a given because the series takes place in the 1480s.

** ''Wars of Frozen Flames'' has this with Sir Rodrick Solberg, Lady Jane Phoenix and Korrin Sylver. Jane had lost her husband and was told that she had to remarry if she wanted to have a source of income, and Rodrick has a crush on her, but couldn't bring himself to marry her because her husband was his older brother Edrick, and he felt that marrying Jane would be disrespecting his memory. Rodrick instead offers to raise Jane's son James when she's forced to give him away to someone at the service of the crown as a ward upon remarriage in accordance to the law of the time, and find a suitable husband for her, which he finds in Korrin. However, Jane and Korrin start developing a strong bond after he empathizes with her and promises to make her happy, which causes Rodrick to feel jealousy towards Korrin.

''Carl'' centers around the life of [[ProtagonistTitle Carl Mitchell]], an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, his friends [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Boo Who]], [[OnlySaneMan Blooper Squidd]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Dry Bones]], his crush, and later-on girlfriend, [[GirlyGirl Grace Grey]] and her three friends [[{{Tomboy}} Talia Richards]], [[TheSmartGirl Roxanne Smith]], and [[DeadpanSnarker Kylie Allenby]], as well as his family, which is composed of [[NiceGirl his mother Linda]], [[HairTriggerTemper his step-father Calvin]], [[{{NEET}} his step-brother Logan]], and his half-sisters [[ThemeTwinNaming Carrie and Sally]]. The show focuses on the lives of Carl and his friends and showcases their school, social and family life. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 17th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's fifth season. On May 28th, 2022, it was announced that the first three seasons of ''Carl'' would be remastered in order to give them a much-needed updated sprite and voice-acting work and [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness to correct some inconsistencies the early episodes have]], these episodes won't contradict anything of what's stated from season 4 onwards and will keep the original episode premises intact, with them receiving some tweaks so they can be suitable for newer audiences.

''Bowser's Koopalings'' is the DenserAndWackier of the three shows. The series focuses on [[BumblingDad King Bowser Koopa II]], the king of the Koopa Kingdom, and his seven adopted kids; [[SmallNameBigEgo Ludwig]], [[BigEater Morton]], [[OnlySaneMan Iggy]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Wendy]], [[DeadpanSnarker Lemmy]], [[CasanovaWannabe Roy]], and [[ButtMonkey Larry]]. The series showcases a mostly DysfunctionalFamily given the personalities of the koopalings and Bowser favouring his biological son [[BrattyHalfPint Bowser Koopa III]] (Bowser Jr.), as [[BitchInSheepsClothing he pretends being nice and innocent]] when in reality [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's anything but]]. Despite this, the siblings all deeply appreciate each other and their father, and the feeling is mutual. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on October 4th of 2017 and the show is currently on it's sixth season.


''Donkey Kong Island'' focuses on pair of brothers [[NiceGuy Donkey]] and [[ButtMonkey Diddy Kong]], who work at the K. Rool Incorporated warehouse in Kongo Island for their boss, [[TheCynic King Konnor Rool]], who after leaving his job at the Bass Station in the Koopa Kingdom became the manager of the warehouse following the previous manager, [[PunnyName S. Toopid]]'s, passing via [[TooDumbToLive electrocuting himself for not wearing gloves]]. DK and Diddy work alongside their long-time friends [[TheLoad Lanky Chapman]] and [[GentleGiant Chunky Holcroft]], and there they meet the pair of sisters [[OnlySaneWoman Dixie]] and [[DumbBlonde Tiny Fitzgerald]], Chunky's cousins. The series showcases the gang doing their daily work in the warehouse, going along with any wacky idea K. Rool has had to earn money, impress his family, or both, and avoiding resident {{Jerkass}} [[SmallNameBigEgo Frank Krusha]], who tries (and always fails) to make the Kongs' life miserable and get them fired. As the series went on, two more characters joined the Kongs' crew, with these being [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Kiddy]], Chunky's brother, and [[{{Tomboy}} Katryna]], K. Rool's niece. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on August 11th of 2019, and the show is currently on it's second season.

''Wars of Frozen Flames'' is heavily based off UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses and is divided into four parts. In the 15th century, after a long succesion of armed conflicts both in and out of the kingdom lead to an anarchist revolt of peasants, [[{{Manchild}} King John Koopa VI]]'s royal cabinet names [[{{Jerkass}} Lord Sigmund Phoenix King]]'s Claw following the death of the previous King's Claw at the hands of anarchist peasants. This however doesn't sit well with [[NoRespectGuy Lord Richard Koopa]] of the Sherbet House, the king's cousin and the heir to the throne due to the former being childless, as Sigmund abanonded his troops to die in the middle of a battle and claimed no responsibility for his actions. From there onwards the tensions among the nobility escalate further once other various houses start aiding their respective allied fractions, each having their own reasons and interests. The series serves as a way to explore the franchise's universe and expand upon the established lore. The first episode was uploaded on [=YouTube=] on January 8th of 2022 and the show is currently on it's first part. All of the parts are expected to last four episodes each.
