3''Farewell, [=FamiKamen=] Rider'' is a 2015 film, written by [[WebVideo/MarzGurl Kaylyn and Josh Saucedo]], based on the works of Justin "[=JewWario=]" Carmical. The film was created to conclude the story of the [=FamiKamen=] Rider that began in Carmical's ''WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis''. The story began as a running plot line in ''You Can Play This!'', with a movie Kickstarter funded and in pre-production. However, following Carmical's suicide, the saga was incomplete and the story left hanging. Kaylyn and Josh took it upon themselves to write a new script and see the project to fruition, and a rough cut of the film was screened at Magfest 2015. The full film was released online April 15th, 2015.

5The story begins where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9AJeefMS3s this video]] left off. After a showdown at Con G in 2012, the [=FamiKamen=] Rider is missing in action. [=MarzGurl=] is attacked by masked goons outside the convention while trying to escape. She attempts to Henshin (transform into the Warion), but the belt rejects her as it was not designed for anyone but a Warion to use. She manages to escape with his Henshin belt, but the cartridge is blasted away in the explosion of energy caused by the backlash of her unsuccessful transformation.

7Three years later, a video game enthusiast from San Antonio, Texas (named Chris) happens upon the cartridge at a yard sale. Unable to use it and believing it to be broken, he posts a picture of it on a video game forum in an attempt to find someone to help him fix it. Later that day, he is suddenly attacked by the same {{Mooks}} who ambushed [=MarzGurl=] outside the battle three years ago. [=MarzGurl=] swoops in and saves him, and the two embark on a journey to find the [=FamiKamen=] Rider.

10----
11!! ''Farewell, [=FamiKamen Rider=]'' contains examples of
12* ActionGirl: [=MarzGurl=] for the heroes and Tsunemi for the villains.
13* BadBoss: [[spoiler: General Kidd]]. Not only does he berate Tsunemi for the tiniest of failures, but it's clear that he's aware of her desire to please him and uses that against her at every opportunity. When she's [[spoiler: defeated by [=MarzGurl=] and Chris]], he doesn't care in the slightest.
14* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The King of Space believes he is a real king.
15* ClingyCostume: Due to using up so much power battling the enemy, [[spoiler: Yanki J]] has been permanently bound to the [[spoiler: Su Fami Kamen Rider]] suit.
16* DeadpanSnarker: ''Nash''. He’s especially butthurt about [=MazGurl=] [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten forgetting who he was once]].
17* FakeShemp: When Justin or his characters appear in the film, it's via body doubles, voice acting, dubbing of old audio clips, and archival footage. Remarkably similar to what happened after Hiroshi Fujioka's injury during the filming of the actual ''Series/KamenRider'' series.
18* FireForgedFriends: [=MarzGurl=] and Chris become this as the movie goes on.
19* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Yanki J]] takes a fatal wound to the abdomen to save [[spoiler: [=MarzGurl=] and Chris]] from an attack by [[spoiler: Tsunemi]].
20* ItsAllMyFault:
21** [[spoiler: [=MarzGurl=] thinks she's indirectly responsible for the disappearances of [=JewWario=] and Yanki J.]]
22** Chris suffers from this briefly when [[spoiler: his Streetpassing alerts AGES to Yanki J's hideout]]. [[spoiler: Yanki J]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snaps him out of it]].
23* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler: Hakai Gear]]'s battle style. Fast and strong, but [[ItsAllAboutMe an ego the size of the Moon]].
24* LovableNerd: Chris is a guy who collects old video games and plays them, but he never comes off as a TakeThat.
25* MythologyGag: At one point [=MarzGurl=] tells Chris about she first met [=JewWario=] during [[WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} an invasion of a micro nation in Nevada.]]
26* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Marzgurl didn't recognize [[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou Nash]] the first time they met.
27* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The [=FamiKamen=] Rider series was going to be an 11 episode web series made by [=JewWario=] himself, but after his passing, Kaylyn and Josh Saucedo rewrote and produced the project.
28* RunningGag: Chris is called out on four seperate occasions on his body odor.
29* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The BigBad gives one to Chris in a fit of EvilGloating during the final battle, saying that he's "nobody" and "less then nothing" and that all the information his {{Mooks}} found on him "could be put on a sticky note." To rub salt on the wound, he claims that he's exactly the kind of seemingly brain-dead media consumer with no life "looking at silly little cat videos on the Internet, spending your time with your precious little games" his EvilPlan intends to exploit.
30* RobotGirl: [[TheDragon Tsunemi]].
31* SdrawkcabAlias: [[spoiler: AGES is SEGA spelled backwards.]]
32* StockScream: A Wilhelm Scream is heard when Yanki J kicks a {{Mook}} ''into the moon''.
33* TechnoBabble: The explanation Miyamoto-san gives for the [=FamiKamen Rider=] tech. Lampshaded by Nash.
34* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler: General Kidd]]'s motivation boils down to fixing this. He was [[spoiler: publically blamed for the failure of the Dreamcast and fired from SEGA to cover the losses]]. This kicked off his StartOfDarkness and is the reason he wants to complete [[spoiler: Operation Neptune]].[[note]] Using the Warion Energy to power an EMP that will disable all Nintendo products so people will switch loyalties to SEGA[[/note]] He wants the results to [[spoiler: put him back into SEGA's good graces and restore his status]].
