4	''Generic Man'' is a generic PlatformGame based on the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise and made by doctor_lite. In it, the titular unremarkable protagonist, Generic Man must embark on a sorta-epic quest to save his world from the [[BigBad Master of Evil]].
5
6	It is somewhat to a crossover game, where each level represents a game from a different franchise. Battle through [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros the Mushroom Kingdom]], the Moon and other exotic locations, defeat bosses, grow in power, jump, shoot and slash as you attempt to discover the identity of the [=MoE=] and stop its evil plans.

10	!!This game provides examples of these tropes:
11	* HundredPercentCompletion: Collecting all {{heart container}}s and beating all levels on Hard lets you fight [[spoiler:your rival in their SuperMode]].
12	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Series/{{Barney\|AndFriends}} the big, friendly dinosaur]] is the Master of Evil, the BigBad who wants to TakeOverTheWorld.
13	* AnIcePerson: VideoGame/MegaManX, featured as a boss, can summon giant ice chips from the ceiling.
14	* AssistCharacter: Mario can summon Luigi to attack with a hammer.
15	* BigBad: The enigmatic Master of Evil, [[spoiler:aka Series/{{Barney\|AndFriends}}]], wants to conquer the world. The protagonist Generic Man is offered a prize to stop him.
16	* BlowYouAway: X can shoot tornadoes at you from both sides.
17	* BossArenaUrgency: In his rematch, the VideoGame/UrbanChampion has a collapsing ceiling in his room.
18	* BossRush: A linear one in the penultimate level, against almost every prior boss in the game (with the exceptions of Spongebob and Patrick, as well as [[spoiler:Dora]]).
19	* BossOnlyLevel: The Rival levels. The teleporter that takes you to them drops you directly to the fight. Also downplayed with the final level- there is some platforming, but only a brief bit before the FinalBoss.
20	* BulletHell: [[VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D Mecha Hitler]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], and [=MoE=] all have this type of attack.
21	* CartoonBomb: The boss of [=Pltfrm6=] both throws round bombs and drops exploding gas containers from the sky.
22	* CastFromHitPoints: [[spoiler:Your rival's Super Mode gradually drains his life bar and does the same to you when you use it.]]
23	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:TheRival in the OptionalBoss fight against him uses one to go into a super mode. [[LampshadeHanging The level description even outright calls it such, word for word]].]]
24	* DeathThrows: The enemies from ''VideoGame/KungFu'', and Hammer Bros. throw projectiles at the player.
25	* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Pantheons, [[Franchise/{{Doom}} Pain Elementals, Lost Souls]], [[spoiler:Dora]], the Master of Evil, and even Generic Man himself set off explosions when killed.
26	* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: At first, Generic Man can only shoot straight; he then gains the ability aim up and down, but never diagonally.
27	* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The Master of Evil, who wants to TakeOverTheWorld, turns out to be [[spoiler:Series/{{Barney\|AndFriends}}, the famous children's show character, in [[PeripheryHatedom what is almost certainly]] a TakeThat towards him]].
28	* DoubleJump: One of the abilities available. Generic Man starts with an air jump.
29	* DualBoss: [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob and Patrick]] team up as the boss of the Ice Cave.
30	* EmergencyEnergyTank: After losing enough health on Hard, X will use one to heal himself completely. Fortunately for you, he only has one.
31	* EverythingFades: The dinosaur enemies and both the [=Pltfrm6=] and Big Broken Bridge bosses fade away upon defeat.
32	* EvilTwin: Downplayed. The rival is not exactly evil so much as really wanting the reward money for killing the Master of Evil, and willing to fight those who stand in the way of him doing this. Naturally, he's a MirrorBoss.
33	* ExcusePlot: You are a generic video game protagonist who must defeat the Master of Evil, who wants to TakeOverTheWorld, so you can get the prize money for killing him. Why Generic Man must go through different franchises and fight various game protagonists and antagonists, and why [=MoE=] is [[spoiler:Series/{{Barney\|AndFriends}}]], is never explained. PlayedForLaughs as the game is not exactly serious.
34	* FlunkyBoss: Rayquaza regularly summons Deoxys.
35	* TheGenericGuy: The protagonist is outright called Generic Man. It's right there in the title.
36	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Just like in [[VideoGame/MegaManZero their source game]], the sword cuts Pantheons in half.
37	* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: Before their boss fight starts, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are shown as ice statues, then come to life when the fight starts.
38	* HoldTheLine: On Hard, the [[FinalBoss Master of Evil]]'s final form consists of three last barrages that you must simply survive before you can land the final blow.
39	* KiManipulation: Generic Man's shots and Urban Champion's [[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadoukens]].
40	* MadeOfExplodium: When touched or attacked, ? Blocks explode with the "Bomb" UnsoundEffect from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''. On Hard Mode, Urban Champion drops explosive flower pots from the sky.
41	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Every level is taken from one video game franchise, and the protagonists themselves (and some antagonists) show up as bosses.
42	* MookMaker: Pain Elementals spit out Lost Souls, while Lakitus and [=SpongeBob=] throw Spinies.
43	* {{Ninja}}: They appear as enemies and throw shurikens at you.
44	* NoobCave: Noob Island, the first level of the game.
45	* PlayingWithFire: Mario does this in his boss fight, but instead of directly shooting fireballs as usual, he summons them from the bottom and top of the screen.
46	* PostDefeatExplosionChain: Both Dora the Explorer and the Master of Evil set off a chain of explosions when defeated.
47	* ProducePelting: The boss of [=Pltfrm6=] throws apples.
48	* ShiftingSandLand: Sand Wilderness, the VideoGame/MegaManX stage.
49	* ShockAndAwe: [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Blue Mages]] shoot lightning in four directions.
50	* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Ice Cave.
51	* SpaceZone: The Moon, which is populated by demons.
52	* SpikesOfDoom: Usually seen on black balls like urchins, but they appear in other instances. And they're a OneHitKill.
53	* TheSpiny: Lakitus throw them as usual.
54	* TakeThat: The [[BigBad Master of Evil]] being [[spoiler:Series/{{Barney\|AndFriends}}]] is most likely a potshot at the source material. In this game, [[spoiler:the purple friendly dinosaur]] is a world-conquering villain and the FinalBoss.
55	* TrueFinalBoss: Collect every HeartContainer, complete every level on Hard, and defeat the FinalBoss to be able to take on [[spoiler:TheRival in his SuperMode]].
56	* VehicularAssault: [[spoiler:Dora]], TheDragon and penultimate boss, flies a plane.
57	* WarmUpBoss: Urban Champion is the first and easiest boss fought.
