History YMMV / Wipeout

* {{Leitmotif}}: The fans went even as far to give theme songs to each team in the series. '''Heavy''' YMMV here:

** Music/{{Noisia}} or the Foreign Beggars for Mirage

** Music/SwedishHouseMafia for EG-X

* GameBreaker: Each game had one from ''2097'' onwards. The ''Piranha'' ship in ''2097'', the ''Assegai'' in ''3'', yet again the ''Piranha'' in ''Fusion'', the ''Triakis'' in ''Pure'', again the ''Assegai'' in ''Pulse'', the ''Icaras'' in ''HD'' and the ''AG-Systems Speed'' in ''2048''.

** ''1'': "Messij", "Doh T", "Cairodrome" and "Operatique" by [=CoLD=] [=SToRAGE=]; "Afro Ride" by Leftfield; "P.E.T.R.O.L." by {{Orbital}}; "Chemical Beats" by Music/TheChemicalBrothers

** Music/{{Noisia}} for Mirage

** The Qemists for Icaras

** ''3'': "Control" and "Surrender" by [=MKL=]; "Lethal Cut" by Propellerheads; "Know Where To Run" by {{Orbital}}; surely every song by [=DJ=] Sasha that appeared in the game (his song "Xpander" is considered to be the best song that appeared in the entire series!)

* {{Leitmotif}}: The fans went even as far to give theme songs to each team in the series. Examples are: Madeon for FEISAR, Music/{{Skrillex}} for Auricom, Zedd for Qirex, Above & Beyond for AG-Systems and TheProdigy for Piranha.

* {{Letimotif}}: The fans went even as far to give theme songs to each team in the series. Examples are: Madeon for FEISAR, Music/{{Skrillex}} for Auricom, Zedd for Qirex, Above & Beyond for AG-Systems and TheProdigy for Piranha.

** ''2097'': ''We Have Explosive" by The Future Sound of London; "Firestarter" by TheProdigy; "The Third Sequence" and "Titan" by Photek; "Loops of Fury" by the Music/TheChemicalBrothers; "Musique" by DaftPunk; "Atom Bomb" and "V Six" by Fluke

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Studio Liverpool folded not long after the release of ''2048''. Much to fans' dismay.
** A part of Studio Liverpool went on to from up Sawfly Studio.
* DeathTrap: 2048 Pir-hana's prototype. [[spoiler: No steering. Just airbrakes. Have fun!]]

** Similarly, ''Wipeout Pure'' was a welcome improvement after the poorly-received ''Wipeout Fusion''.
* ThatOneLevel: [[http://youtu.be/fNSNHiCmA7A Elite Wipeout player Charlie Emery, aka HellfireWZ, sums it up nicely.]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: AG-Systems, FEISAR and Qirex. The fanbase says that if you don't love at least one of these teams, you clearly aren't a true Wipeout fan.

** ''Pure'': "Crafty Youth" by Tayo Meets Acidrockers Uptown; "C Note" by Photek; "We Got Juice" by Friendly; "Black Jack 3" by Plump [=DJs=]; "Kinection" by Cosmos; "Flu-Shot" by [=LFO=] (NOT the three man pop-rock band!); "Hellion" by Ming + FS; "Ignition" by Paul Hartnoll of {{Orbital}}; "Cross The Line" by Elite Force; "Goldrush" by Tiesto (yes, the ultra famous Dutch DJ!!!)

** ''Pulse'': "Flat-Out" by Dopamine; "Steady Rush" by Booka Shade; "Frontline" by Ed Rush & Optical & Matrix; "Fenix Funk 5" by Aphex Twin; the epic house remix of "Aerodynamik" by {{Kraftwerk}}; "Seven Stitches" by Noisia; "Suspicious Thoughts" by Skream; "Chemical" by Move Ya & Steve Lavers; "City Lights (Martin Buttich Remix)" by Loco Dice
** ''HD'': Some of the best songs from ''Pulse'' appeared in the game, but the ''Fury'' DLC added 6 new songs, of which the most awesome are: "Machine Gun" by Noisia, "Acetone" by The Crystal Method; "Swagger" by Gingy; "Just Hiss" by Spector
** ''2048'': "School of Funk" by Dirtyloud; "Breezeblock" by Camo & Krooked; "BTKRSH" by Rockwell; "Change of Direction" by Anile; "Regurgitate" by Noisia; "Electronic Battle Weapon 3" by Music/TheChemicalBrothers; "Invaders Must Die (Liam H's Re Amped Remix)" by TheProdigy; "Some Chords" by {{Deadmau5}}

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Almost the entire soundtrack from each game. [=CoLD=] [=SToRAGE=] really left his mark on gaming culture through these games.

* DeathTrap: 2048 Pir-hana's prototype. [[spoiler: No steering. Just airbrakes. Have fun!]]
* FreudWasRight: Any of single-hull AG craft, especially post-Fusion FEISAR's and Piranha, if you will...

* DeathTrap: 2048 Pir-hana's prototype. [[spoiler: No steering. Just airbrakes. Have fun!]]

* LoveItOrHateIt: Wipeout Fusion.
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: The first game was rather basic, and it had bad graphics and worse controls. The second game made the controls usable, and the third added extra features and amazing visuals.
