* LastBreathBullet: In the [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Rockman 4]] hitless run challenge, Gamechamp manages to defeat Wily Machine 4...except that she gets hit by a still on-screen projectile ''immediately after landing the final blow'', meaning she has to do the whole thing again. This very nearly happens during the [[FinalBoss last boss fight]] as well, but this time she manages to jump over the projectile before it can hit her.

%%* MinimalistRun: InUniverse example; Gamechamp does one for VideoGame/Metroid1. It also doubles as a pacifist run.

* ShaggyDogStory: After spending many hours fighting the game's railroading, performing the first 3/4 of the run twice and spending hundreds to get another Switch, copy of the game, and Nintendo Switch Online subscription to be able to play on two Switches simultaneously, then recruiting two more people and doing the beginning of the game with them ''again'' just to cheese a couple levels using online co-op, the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Coinless run... takes too long to finish, and Nintendo patches the game to remove glitches that had been necessary for progress up to that point, ending the run prematurely on an anticlimax.
* ShoutOut: All of the Pokémon in the no damage challenge are named after Youtubers.

** Her wrench only run of VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters is filled with ones for the titular game, describing it as "the first and the worst game in the ''Ratchet and Clank'' PSP trilogy" at the beginning of the video and ending it with "with the dumb spinoff I hate finally concluding and freeing me from my self-imposed obligations".

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: [[invoked]] Referenced at the beginning of the ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' Minimum Gun run, where the CouchGag has her joke that she "has officially ripped off Nathaniel Bandy," a Youtuber who already did a similar challenge run.

* SelfDeprecation: Gamechamp frequently declares that she is "bad at video games." While this is arguably BlatantLies coming from someone who has beaten the first three Rockman games without taking a single hit of damage (among other shows of skill), it is also a meaningful part of the challenges that she completes - most of them require patience, determination, and problem-solving to a greater degree than they require generalized video game skill and reflex.

* ShaggyDogStory: After spending many hours fighting the game's railroading, and spending hundreds of dollars on ''three new Switches, copies of the game, and online subscriptions'' along with three times as many hours ''repeating the run on all the extra copies'' to cheese levels using online co-op, the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'' Coinless run... takes too long to finish, and Nintendo patches the game to remove glitches that had been necessary for progress up to that point, ending the run prematurely on an anticlimax.

** A single-video example: The Metroid minimalist pacifist run repeatedly states that "Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System" (always referred to by this title in full, even when discussing the regional differences in the FDS version, leading to such phrases as "Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System for the Famicom Disk System") is programmed on duct tape.

* EvolvingCredits: The end-of-video list of Patreon backers gets longer each time, with the names themselves also getting longer and more ridiculous. By the VideoGame/JakII episode, just going through the list takes up one-fourth of the video.

* ClusterBleepBomb: Courtesy of Gamechamp in the "Can You Beat [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]] With A 1 Card Deck?" challenge, as a result of Sora's PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure with Donald and Goofy.

-->'''Gamechamp:''' No worries, Sora's been thinking the same thing, so in the next cutscene he tells Donald and Goofy he's had enough of their ***ing stupid friendship-*** bull*** and runs back to tell Riku that Namine is a ***ing *** *** ***ing ***ing *** mother of ***, and, quite frankly, silly.

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Gamechamp makes one at the start of the ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokemon Red]]'' No-Damage Run, as well as during it when describing how the level grinding sessions take actual days.

* InsistentTerminology: Gamechamp will say "Mega Man" ''only'' as part of "Mega Man Legacy Collection". Otherwise, it's "Rockman".

** In a more general sense, "Latte strats" that involve lots of waiting (so called because you have enough time to "sit back and drink a latte") are a RunningGag in the seties.

* CreditsGag: At the end of every video, Gamechamp gives a special thanks to all Patreon backers at the time, some of which have usernames that are pretty much short phrases and jokes. As of the ''VideoGame/MegaMan4'' no-hit run, [[OverlyLongGag the backer credits take just over 6 full minutes]], at which point she increased the required Patreon tier for a vocal shout-out specifically to curb the length of this segment.

* BoringButPractical: In the Splatoon 3 minimum shot challenge, she describes a method of charging the [[LimitBreak Splashdown]] meter without firing any shots: "Plopping"[[note]]Entering swim form[[/note]] repeatedly to ''slowly'' spread ink around the map.

** A single-video example: The Metroid minimalist pacifist run repeatedly states that "Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System" (always referred to by this title in full, even when discussing the regional differences in the FDS system, leading to such phrases as "Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System for the Famicom Disk System") is programmed on duct tape.
