2	[[caption-width-right:250:Fantendo, wiki of Creator/{{Nintendo}} "[[InsistentTerminology fanon]]", [[FictionalVideoGame game ideas]], and [[NonIndicativeName basically everything else]] [[ArtifactTitle at this point]]]]
3	[[https://fantendo.fandom.com Fantendo]] is a Fandom[[note]]formerly Wikia[[/note]] creative-writing wiki that presents Creator/{{Nintendo}} [[FictionalVideoGame game ideas]]--make that [[FictionalMedia ideas for media]] [[ArtifactTitle in general]]--in the format of realistic wiki articles. It was founded in 2007, its original userbase [[FriendlyFandoms overlapping with]] the Super Mario Wiki.
4
5	Users can share concepts they've come up with for their favorite series, crafting elaborate descriptions of these imagined works, alongside {{fanfic}}, [[{{webcomics}} comics]], and more. The proof-of-concept articles are decorated with custom art and graphics, such as [[FanArt fan art]], logos, box art, original web design, and [[GameMusic music]]. Working on an article's presentation can be as much a creative outlet as the ideas in it, which contributes to {{defictionalization}} [[AvertedTrope not being a priority]].
6
7	[[NonIndicativeName Despite the name]], [[WebOriginalFiction original series]] have proven very popular within the community. The "Fantendoverse" SharedUniverse crosses its own lore and characters with [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover dozens of established Fantendo series at a time]], with assorted influence from [[ComicBooks comic books]], {{anime}}, and other media.
8
9	In 2015, the Fantendoverse's [[ContinuityReboot continuity was reset]] for the "New Fantendoverse" era, establishing a universe similar to [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel's]] and [[Franchise/TheDCU DC's]]. The project drew longterm community attention and inspired many [[AlternateContinuity Alternate Continuities]]. A [[{{Cancellation}} canceled]] second reboot called "Fantendoverse Tau" was planned to succeed it in 2020. The "Boundless Fantendoverse" was then created in 2021 to replace it.

24	[[folder:#-F]]
25	* OneUp: Some editors seem to adore these items, and have created new versions granting different numbers of lives--even [[PoisonMushroom negative]].
26	* AbortedArc: Happens very frequently, especially with most Fantendo crossovers. {{Averted}} with ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Shattered'' and its sequels ''Fantendo Sports Resort'' and ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory''.
27	* AchievementSystem: Uses Fandom's achievements extension. There are custom badge tracks for editing pages in certain genres, series, and other categories.
28	* AerithAndBob: A mix of common and unusual names was bound to emerge, especially in crossovers like the Fantendoverse. As early as the original ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'', fighter names range from Adam, to [[NumericalThemeNaming 4.13]], to Tango the Llama Lord.
29	* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: Lucky Veridian grows anxious and reclusive from being unable to control his erebokinesis magic and wanting to avoid causing damage with it.
30	* AlliterativeName: Prince Paint, Susan Syringe, and Zing Zang Zoodi are just a few examples.
31	* AlternateContinuity: It became common to make alternate Fantendoverses after the resurgence caused by the New Fantendoverse. Examples include the Dualverse, Medieverse, Pyroverse, and the What-Ifs? art series. Many are [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by the Shattering having fractured the original Fantendoverse into multiple new universes.
32	* AlternateRealityGame: ''Little Lenny Penguin Breaks the Fourth Wall'' possessed many ARG elements and was frequently updated during its heyday.
33	* AlternateSelf: The casts of alternate Fantendoverses. It's especially common to render Unten a drastically different character. Reten and Mynis are examples that have crossed over with the main continuity. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] for [[DimensionalTraveler Heralds]], who don't have alternate selves with the same powers within the timeline.
34	* AmicableExes: Unten and Kiva Glaive had a brief romance before Glaive left to find a way to defeat Doomulus Grime. They seem to have parted on good terms, as Kiva refers to them as old friends.
35	* AmnesiacHero: In his debut story, Finian Felicis doesn't remember who he is or how he died.
36	* AngelicTransformation: Aingeru has an angelic WingedHumanoid form, thanks to the power of the titular items of the ''Battle of Bracelets'' series.
37	* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Tigzon the [=TigerStar=], a Zon spirit that Tai Z. Takara can transform into, is a tiger-fox with exceptional parkour, speed, and fighting skills.
38	* {{Animorphism}}:
39	** Tai Z. Takara is able to transform into Tigzon the [=TigerStar=], an anthropomorphic tiger-fox hybrid. Through the same power, Noora Natsumi can turn into her demon-like spirit companion Nightless, and Yami Zu can become a human-cat hybrid named Meko.
40	** The [[{{Weredragon}} Draconids]] in the ''Dracon Duel'' series may appear human, but can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shift]] into a dragonlike form.
41	* AnthropomorphicFood:
42	** In ''Sugar Cannon'', Foodtopia is populated by all sorts of living food characters, including creatures called Flavor Sprites.
43	** ''Gummi Squadron!!!'' also focuses on food-themed beings like the titular gummis.
44	* ApocalypseHow: The Shattering is at least a ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 for the original Fantendoverse, forcing its deities to relocate to [[AnotherDimension another universe]].
45	* AprilFoolsDay: Has been observed since 2010 or earlier. Pranks usually involve changing the wiki's theme, ranging from [[SensoryAbuse bright, clashing color palettes]] to unsolicited ProductPlacement for [[Advertising/CapnCrunch cereal]].
46	* ArtEvolution: The bar for both visual art and article presentation has raised substantially since the wiki started. Imitating Nintendo renders was the sought-after style at the turn of the [[UsefulNotes/TheNewTens decade]], be it by [[PaletteSwap recoloring the renders directly]], making more sophisticated image edits, using 3D shapes in Microsoft [=PowerPoint=], or designing bizarre [[{{MediaNotes/Mii}} Mii]] heads as a base.[[note]]These images would also see the most use offsite due to showing up in Google Image Search.[[/note]] While there are still talented image editors on the wiki, the current trend has been digitally drawing characters and other elements in 2D, causing many users to improve their own art skills with practice. Articles themselves have gotten increasingly stylized, with authors squeezing as much graphic design potential as possible out of custom wikitext formatting and CSS rules not hardcoded into the Fandom skin.
47	* ArtifactTitle: The wiki has long accepted non-Nintendo content.
48	* ArtificialLimbs: Doomulus Zharpine, the eighth community character, has mechanically enhanced limbs that allow them to disassemble their body and remotely control the parts.
49	* ArtStyleDissonance: ''[[https://fantendo.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Something Super Smash Bros. Something]]'' is a serious and extensive Featured Article that almost entirely uses [[StylisticSuck simplistic Microsoft Paint art]].
50	* AuthorAvatar: Many characters, including some in the early Fantendoverse, go by their creator's username and are initially meant to stand in for them. When other users write these characters, a meta form of DivergentCharacterEvolution can ensue.
51	* AxCrazy: Complete with an actual axe in the case of Hiro the Green Lumberjack, who has jumped from an 8-bit game and [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm Cannot Grasp the True Form]] of reality. He thinks living beings are more trees to cut down for lumber.
52	* BearyFriendly: Many of the Beorns are sympathetic characters with a pleasant visual simplicity. The more [[BodyHorror frightening]] Beorn designs tend to be less ursine anyway. As the wiki {{mascot}}, Unten especially may evoke Toys/TeddyBear-like imagery for those unfamiliar with the character. A few other characters, like Bowie and Magical Bear, have been based on real teddy bears owned by the creators.
53	* BecomeARealBoy: Smile from the ''Ghost Smile'' series is a ghostborn who wants to live a normal life as a mortal, but has been forced to return to ghosthood after achieving this.
54	* TheBermudaTriangle: In the Fantendoverse, it holds large amounts of distortion mist that hides several continents and islands, as well as [[{{Unobtainium}} rare ore]] and creatures.
55	* TheBGrade: Actually worth taking seriously in Fundale, where a C+ or lower on any assignment will get [[FamilyHonor the student's whole family]] [[TheExile permanently kicked out of town]] if not addressed.
56	* BigBad:
57	** Doomulus Grime is presented as the main villain in the early games of Unten's series.
58	** In the Fantendoverse, The Enemy serves the antagonist role at first, then The Threat.
59	** King Cube [=KiloBot=] is the antagonist of the ''Meta-Form'' series.
60	* BirthdayBuddies: Unten and Nebuel Tzunn Chadnezzar share a birthday.
61	* BirthdayEpisode: The story ''Happy Birthday, Unten!'' is this for [[BirthdayBuddies both]] Unten and new character Nebuel Tzunn Chadnezzar, who crashes the former's party.
62	* BizarroElements:
63	** Andy Pasta's power is to always have access to boiling pasta and sauce, which he uses, possibly telekinetically, as a weapon.
64	** Users have created articles for at least thirty Franchise/{{Pokemon}} types since 2014. Many of them play up the existing weirdness of the type system, finding increasingly specific or redundant niches. The ideas progress from [[BlowYouAway Wind]], [[LightIsGood Light]], and Gas, through concepts like [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]], Quartz, and [[CleanlinessTropes Clean]] types. At the time of writing, the list culminates in the [[BunnyTropes Bunny]] type in 2021, which retypes all vaguely lagomorph-themed Pokémon and Cinderace's signature move.
65	** The elements in ''Project EXPE''[='=]s Alignment system include Analogy, [[FossilRevival Amber]], [[ConvenientComa Coma]], Empire, Flagellate, Gluon, [[GravityMaster Gravity]], [[{{Sizeshifter}} Height]], Isolation, Hydrogen Peroxide, [[TechnologyLevels Kardashev]], [[LoonyLaws Law]], Membrane, Nitrogen, Pixel, [[CreatingLife Sentience]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Economics}} Stock]], Sugar, {{Trope}}, and Quota. Each one has its own projectile and abilities.
66	* BlandNameProduct: The [[ShoehornedAcronym Fantendo Fanon Federation]] served as the site's equivalent to [[MediaNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]].
67	* BloodierAndGorier: The ''[=KillGames=]'' series centers around a titular tournament "where people kill eachother in the most gruesome ways possible".
68	* BornUnlucky: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] aspect of Lucky Veridian's character.
69	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: As the [=DynamicPageList=] extension is in relatively minor use, the category system is built around this. It's common for editors to add sequences of categories like "2D Games, Platforming Games, 2D Platforming Games". Some of the involved categories even have dedicated [[AchievementSystem achievement]] tracks set up.
70	* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Many community members even joke about a "curse" that makes users keep returning to the site after announcing their departure, a dynamic that goes on to be parodied in some of the work on the wiki.
71	* CastingAShadow: Lucky Veridian has erebokinetic powers after being struck by a magical projectile as a child.
72	* CerebusSyndrome: Though having started as a Nintendo fanon wiki, Fantendo has dipped into this [[ZigZaggingTrope several times]]. The New Fantendoverse serves as this for the Fantendoverse, featuring a [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]], comic book-inspired lore. ''[=KillGames=]''[='=] rise to popularity may be another example.
73	* CharacterBlog: Works such as ''ARG/{{TRICK}}'', an interactive, Halloween-themed webcomic, use this format.
74	* TheChosenOne: While Unten is the one prophesized to stop Doomulus Grime, Sia also believes she is the chosen one, despite not fitting the prophecy's description.
75	* CloneByConversion: In an early story, a character named Sam took on Unten's appearance after Unten's spirit passed the Light Sword onto him.
76	* {{Continuation}}: Just about every sufficiently well-known Nintendo series has attracted ideas for new games. In addition to new plot ideas, many users describe new mechanics and features to brainstorm how the series can carry on and evolve from a gameplay perspective. Popular games like ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' garner lots of focused story expansions. Fandom's page popularity rankings tend to skew toward these, as other fans search for unannounced sequels and find Fantendo articles in lieu of game news. Continuations for a specific work may be listed on a category page, or rarely, a "canon game" article created as a directory for this content.
77	* ContinuityReboot: The New Fantendoverse resets the timeline in an event called the Shattering.
78	* ContinuityRebooter: Clockwarx is described as the manifestation of the Shattering that kickstarted the New Fantendoverse era.
79	* {{Cooldown}}: Many fanon powerups and fighting game moves suggest this limitation. Cooldowns are often listed at "5 seconds", although this can seem significantly longer than the author was thinking in the context of [[ActionGame Action Games]].
80	* CoolHelmet: Having hoped to become a knight as a kid, Pesh started wearing an iron knight helmet to [[ClothingConcealedInjury hide a scar]], and kept wearing it after it healed.
81	* CoolShades: Rose Reaper and Melissa Dust wear red-and blue-tinted shades, respectively. Robyn Sephora also wears a pair of alien-detecting goggles.
82	* CreationStory: The details of the New Fantendoverse's creation become relevant through the DivineConflict waged between the old and new deities.
83	* {{Crossover}}:
84	** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' is among the Nintendo series with the most fangames on the site. People already love predicting newcomers and entire rosters, so adapting this to the wiki format is to be expected.
85	** Directly inspired by it, the ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' series pulls together different characters from across [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover many]], mostly [[WebOriginalFiction original]] continuities and games. The concept expanded into the Fantendoverse, which forms a cohesive overarching plot and includes games in other genres.
86	** "Umbrella games" exist for the WeirdCrossover niche, with rosters and other content determined by unabashed AuthorAppeal.
87	** [[spoiler:The final chapter of Paper Mario: Color Splash RECUT brings in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Robin]] who can be male or female]].
88	* CuteSlimeMook: Jel, the slime companion created by Jill Johnson, takes direct influence from these enemies.
89	* {{Cyborg}}: All but perhaps one member of the Doomuli were formerly various species whose tissue was replaced with special technology, granting them {{immortality}}.
90	* DecompositeCharacter: One set of articles depicts Mario and Pauline's ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' counterparts as seperate characters named Jumpman and Lady. Alongside this, these characters are depicted as [[LegacyCharacter Mario and Luigi's parents]].
91	* DePower: In the Fantendoverse, Descension strips a deity of their powers and {{immortality}}. As it is heavily limited to Unten's species, there have been attempts to create [[ArtificialHuman artificial Beorns]] with this power, but only [[EquivalentExchange draining the blood of an existing Beorn]] has worked. Ten characters are listed as able to use Descension.
92	* DerivativeDifferentiation: Some articles attempt this, such as ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' games that drift from the ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros.]]'' gameplay formula while retaining unique elements of the Fantendo equivalent.
93	* DestroyerDeity: The Fan's twin brother, The Enemy, sought to destroy the Fantendoverse.
94	* DimensionalTraveler: Heralds in the Fantendoverse can [[ThinkingUpPortals open portals]] to this end.
95	* DivineConflict: When their original universe was destroyed, The Fan and The Enemy set up the New Fantendoverse in what they believed was an uninhabited world, starting a war with its true ruler, The Threat.
96	* DoomedHometown: Doomulus Grime drilled Unten's planet Zeon in half in ''Fissure'', the first game in their series. This set up the reinterpretation that Zeon was destroyed in the process, which became standard for reboots and retellings of Unten's backstory.
97	* {{Doorstopper}}: As of early 2022, the wiki has eight pages that are over a million bytes long. Many of them are subpages, split from their main articles due to their length, and so don't give the full scope of a project on their own.
98	** The former longest page is a story mode transcript that, if printed with 300 words per page, would clock in at over one thousand pages. It is just one of 23 subpages of its main article. Three of its subpage siblings have also cracked 100,000 bytes (with their main article at 99,000).
99	** In September 2022, another user managed to write a story mode that hit [=MediaWiki=]'s maximum article size of 2048 kibibytes, forcing the story to continue on a second subpage.
100	* {{Doppelganger}}: Half of the ''Fantendo Sports Resort'' roster is made up of these.
101	* {{Eagleland}}: Former ''WesternAnimation/{{Turbo}}'' [[PaletteSwap recolor]] Snaily Joe is a snail politician whose shell is patterned after the United States flag. The slogan of his presidential campaign is simply "Democracy!" The [[JustifiedTrope justification]] for this vague campaign promise is that apparently [[PermanentElectedOfficial term limits don't exist]], and the [[{{Immortality}} immortal]] incumbent is [[AlternateHistory still the nation's first president]].
102	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Unten was initially shown as a disembodied head. Early art that gave him a full body could be inconsistent, with one design recoloring a Yoshi from the neck down. This one is occasionally called back to or reworked into a dinosaurian SuperMode. [[TRexpy U-Rex]] is another reference to it.
103	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Unten's backstory was only codified with the New Fantendoverse, after which it became widely accepted. As a result, some previous storylines now seem out of place.
104	** Unten was King Plumber's bodyguard.
105	** Rather than electric abilities, Unten's first weapon was the Light Sword. He also wielded a crossbow. At one point, Netnu used a gun called the Beorn Justicer.
106	** According to ''Fantendo Heroes UNITE!!!'', Unten sacrificed himself, and his spirit passed on the Light Sword to a character named Sam. [[CloneByConversion Sam's appearance then changed so that he resembles Unten.]] The twist was never mentioned again, and [[AbortedArc Sam and Unten both appear]] in ''UNITE!!!''[='=]s sequel [[UnexplainedRecovery without explanation]]. One could believe, however, that the Unten of future stories since has been Sam all along.
107	** Unten sacrificed himself in at least two other continuities.
108	* EarthShatteringKaboom: The destruction of Zeon.
109	* ElementalPowers: Very common. Unten can use latent [[ShockAndAwe electric powers]] under the right circumstances, whereas many other characters have such powers outright.
110	* EndangeredSpecies: Beorns are heavily scattered after the destruction of their home planet Zeon, and thus at constant risk of extinction.
111	* EnemyMine: Across continuities, Doomulus Grime generally serves as a villain for [[TheChosenOne Unten]] and [[DoomedHometown his planet]]. The ''Fantendo Now'' episode "A Flash Beorn Our Eyes" called for Unten and Grime to team up to escape their marooning on a distant planet.
112	* EquivalentExchange: The only known way to create an [[ArtificialHuman artificial Beorn]] with Descension powers is to drain the blood of an existing Beorn.
113	* EvilGloating: PlayedForLaughs with [=GherooB=], who is known for ruining his own evil speeches.
114	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
115	** Despite growing broader than the name "Fantendo" suggests, and was perhaps intended to mean, it still adequately describes the bulk of the wiki's content (Nintendo FanWorks) and audience (Nintendo fans).
116	** [=RedYoshi=] is a red Yoshi character. The same naming convention applies to [[ExaggeratedTrope everyone in his series]].
117	** The game ''Flip Dies!'' was written to defy character guidelines stating that Flip [[NobodyCanDie wasn't allowed to die]].
118	* {{Expy}}: Hiro the Green Lumberjack is an expy of [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosMarioBrothers Mario]], with influence from the protagonist of ''VideoGame/SuperPitfall''.
119	* FanArt: Frequently made to show official characters in new poses and styles, and for consistency with any original art appearing alongside it.
120	* {{Fanfic}}: Over a thousand pages are expressly categorized as such, and story mode subpages tend to use the same format. The rest of Fantendo is something like if you tried to write fanfiction in the form of wiki articles.
121	* FictionalCurrency:
122	** Several countries on Osiris use an original currency called the Page.
123	** Fantendollars have been proposed for the Fantendoverse's currency.
124	* FictionalVideoGame: The central premise of the wiki; a place for users to make articles about their own game ideas.
125	* FightingYourGod: And Beorns (Unten's species) have the power of Descension to dethrone them, [[DePower removing the deity's powers]] and {{immortality}}. In ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory'', when The Fan and The Enemy undermine his effort to ReconcileTheBitterFoes by trying to descend The Threat, Unten turns on his gods and uses this ability on them instead.
126	* ForcedTransformation: Doomulus Thunderine developed the Beorn Beam ability, which transforms its target into a Beorn, thus limiting their established abilities.
127	* ForeverWar: The war between the [[DivineConflict original Fantendoverse's deities and The Threat]] lasts for billions of years.
128	* FunWithAcronyms: The Fantendoverse organization Forces Against National Threats is better known as F.A.N.T., and later joined by an organization named E.N.D.O..
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:G-P]]
132	* GachaGames: ''Gotcha!'' is an umbrella game that takes on this format.
133	* GameMusic: More rarely included on articles, ranging from Platform/YouTube uploads of existing music, to the occasional original composition or soundtrack.
134	* GratuitousGreek:
135	** Greek letters are perennially popular for sequel subtitles, as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Ω''. They serve as one of many fallbacks for when the current next [[NumberedSequels sequel number]] and all the Latin XtremeKoolLetterz are taken.
136	** The Hybrid Δ console combines this with SuperTitle64Advance by appending a capital delta to certain game names. Apparently, in-universe consumers [[InUniverseFactoidFailure thought it stood for triangle]] at first.
137	** Fantendoverse Tau, intended to be the new era of the Fantendoverse, was named after the Greek letter τ and sometimes spelled with it.
138	* GratuitousJapanese:
139	** Patterned after Website/{{Wikipedia}} (Japanese: ウィキペディア, ''Wikipedia'') and other wikis' articles on Nintendo games, many fangame pages try to provide Japanese adaptations and transliterations of names, even though more of the userbase seems proficient with European languages.
140	** The rebooted ''Super Mario Powers'' series uses kanji as subtitles, as in ''Super Mario Powers ''黒[[note]]''Kuro'', meaning "black"[[/note]].
141	* GreatOffscreenWar: The New Fantendoverse has limited information on a background event called "The [[PaletteSwap Recolor]] War", which involved characters with recolored designs being killed or exiled to the Wasteland.
142	* GrowingWings: Applies to Aingeru.
143	* GuestStarPartyMember: Paper Jam - Recut has Prince Peasley, Goombella, Waluigi, Paper Luigi and Nabbit serving as this for some areas [[spoiler:with the group showing up for the final battle]].
144	* HauntedTechnology: Narobi-Trons are [[ArtificialIntelligence AIs]] that can transfer their consciousness into screens and other devices. Fanti uses this ability to defeat [=UNT3N=].
145	* HeelFaceTurn: One of the earliest fangames, ''Paper Bleck'', accentuates the character development that [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Count Bleck]] had in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''. Off of his [[OmnicidalManiac attempt]] to [[ApocalypseHow annihilate all dimensions]], his new goal is to give the "Obvisious Amulet" to African children so they can go to school. Bleck teams up with characters like [[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Goombario]], and is pitted against Dimentio, who used to be on his side.
146	-->Shall he find the amulet to [[SaveTheWorldClimax save the world]] AND [[SavingTheOrphanage the Children]]?
147	* HeroicSacrifice:
148	** Unten sacrificed his life in several early stories. Given the character's {{mascot}} status, [[UnexplainedRecovery it never lasted]].
149	** Fanti [[HauntedTechnology possesses]] the [[RobotMe robotic copy UNT3N]] and plummets off of a cliff to save the real Unten's life. The two remain trapped in space, [[FightingFromTheInside battling within UNT3N's mind]].
150	* HumanWeapon:
151	** The Threat's Top 10, in the eyes of their creator.
152	** Aysu Notozawa from ''Boundless''. Her parents have pressured her to train and [[{{Cyborg}} augment her body]] to become the ultimate fighter.
153	* ImmortalBreaker: The Descension power strips the {{immortality}} and [[DePower other powers]] from deities.
154	* {{Immortality}}: Standard for Fantendoverse deities. [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Richard Independence]], the first and current [[UsefulNotes/ThePresidentsOfTheUnitedStates United States president]], is also immortal but is implied to [[GrandTheftMe switch bodies]] from time to time.
155	* InsistentTerminology: The wiki has settled into using some terms differently than the rest of the Internet.
156	** Rather than referring to widely accepted headcanons, "fanon" has been used as a catch-all phrase for all the [[FictionalVideoGame Fictional Video Games]] and other FictionalMedia that the wiki is dedicated to. While the "Nintendo fanon" in the old tagline certainly includes some such theories, no one on the wiki means to imply that its tens of thousands of fangames all secretly happened in Nintendo series' continuities.
157	** On that note, the use of "fangame" has misled many readers into expecting playable projects and demanding release dates[[note]]If you see a release date listed on a Fantendo article, it's probably just included for extra realism to the wiki article format. Many articles aren't even finished being ''edited'' by their stated release date.[[/note]]. In practice, it often either refers to a fanon game article, or the fictional game that such an article represents.
158	** "Umbrella games" have been considered difficult to explain, despite pretty much being AuthorAppeal [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Massive Multiplayer]] [[WeirdCrossover Weird Crossovers]]. They were originally called "[[WordSaladHumor baby waffles]]", but are now almost exclusively called umbrellas.
159	* InterspeciesAdoption: Unten was raised by Chief Dongorio.
160	* InterspeciesRomance: Unten, a Beorn, has a crush on Rachel Harel, a human.
161	* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: In ''[=TaBooki=]: Growing Up'', the story opens on a thunderstorm before revealing that Boo Village was attacked at the same time.
162	* ItWillNeverCatchOn: The wiki's founder did not have high hopes for how long it would last, expecting it to languish within months. Users were still worried about the "end of Fantendo" in mid-2009, just two years after its creation and at less than a twelfth as many articles as it would have a decade later. Though Fantendo's popularity is [[DownplayedTrope debatable]], it has managed to speak to new generations of fans and creatives for far longer than forecasted.
163	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zerita is described as tough, selfish, and emotionally cold, but truly cares about her loved ones.
164	* {{Kayfabe}}: As with all such wikis, Fantendo requires at least a smattering of this for most if not all of its pages to look decent, structuring articles as if the fictional releases in question exist in the real world. However, users will acknowledge that ThisIsAWorkOfFiction to prevent confusion and other potential issues from taking the kayfabe too far.
165	* LastOfHisKind: Unten was sometimes treated as the sole surviving Beorn after the destruction of Zeon, a detail suggested as early as ''Fissure'', before [[ThereIsAnother other Beorn characters]] became too popular to ignore.
166	* LevelAte: Foodtopia, the world of ''Sugar Cannon'', as well as the food-themed settings of ''Gummi Squadron!!!''.
167	* LightningCanDoAnything: Turns Yvan into [=TaBooki=] when he simultaneously touches a Super Leaf, causing an [[PowerGlows explosion of light]] in the process.
168	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Aura Synesthesia can split into ten "Auras" embodying different personality traits and abilities.
169	* LivingStructureMonster: The ''Pusher's Pile'' series is based on commanding these.
170	* LongRunners: Series like ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' (2009–) have managed to last over a decade and still get new entries--in its case, every year at the sparsest.
171	* {{Mascot}}: Unten, the blue, teddy bear-like brainchild of the wiki's founder, has been the mascot of Fantendo nearly since the wiki's conception. These days, it's easy not to realize that it took a while for him to get any official games to his name and fully develop his well-known backstory. Or [[{{ArtEvolution}} a body]]. In the meantime, some early users considered ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fan character Litle P, a blue-tailed Pichu, to be the true mascot of the wiki.
172	* {{Manchild}}: Doomulus Thunderine is a 38-year-old Pichu with a childish mindset, due to being converted into a [[{{Cyborg}} Doomulus]] at a young age.
173	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Played with on a daily, as a good portion of works are crossovers between each other's work.
174	* MeaningfulRename:
175	** [[SdrawkcabName Netnu]] changing his name to indicate being Unten's [[AlikeAndAntitheticalAdversaries opposite]] and [[TheRival rival]].
176	** Yvan accepts changing his name to [=TaBooki=] after his transformation.
177	* MonsSeries: With the ubiquitous popularity of--and controversy around the direction of--the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games, many users have been inspired to come up with original Mon-centered games and [[DerivativeDifferentiation set them apart]] with wanted gameplay features. ''Kotomo'' is one [[WebOriginalFiction original series]] in the genre.
178	* MoreThanThreeDimensions:
179	** The LogicalExtreme for the Platform/Nintendo3DS family is some sort of four- or higher-dimensional handheld, an idea that has been posed multiple times. The DS-2000 goes up to stereoscopic 6D, [[YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm whatever that would look like]].
180	** Nebuel Tzunn Chadnezzar came to the New Fantendoverse from a universe with four spatial dimensions. He wields this knowledge as well as four-dimensional objects to [[TheTrickster play pranks]] on 3D heroes.
181	* TheMultiverse: All articles on the wiki have a place to fit into the multiverse when a crossover is arranged. Most take place outside of the Fantendoverse as standalone projects. The multiverse system has a dedicated page with an incomplete list of universes.
182	* NoCartoonFish: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with the cast of ''Fish 'N' Chips''.
183	* NonIndicativeName: The [[MusicIsEighthNotes ♪ Mushroom]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. ♪'' may be considered a misnomer, as its cap instead has a quarter note (♩).
184	* NonStandardCharacterDesign:
185	** The Titans in the Fantendoverse are rendered in a different, sketch-like style that makes them appear wiry and alien.
186	** Millyrain is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] as such with her Fantendoverse debut in ''World Tournament''. Umbra Shader, her opponent in the first round, comments, "She looks like a [[Franchise/{{LEGO}} lego block]]…"
187	* TheNoseless: Characters such as Unten lost their noses in their New Fantendoverse designs. This may be due to artstyle influence from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
188	* OfficialCouple: Misfits agent Aran Leverletto and former member Melissa Dust are husband and wife.
189	* OneGameForThePriceOfTwo:
190	** Many ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fangames do this to match the paired versions of the official games. However, as a contingent of users finds this practice consumer-unfriendly, they are likely to [[DefiedTrope defy]] the trope when they design their own main-series entries.
191	** ''Fantendoverse X: Time'' and ''Space'' focus on different themes--respectively, the past and [[MultipleChoiceFuture potential futures]], and [[AlternateUniverse alternate universes]] and [[AnotherDimension parallel dimensions]]--and include different characters and content.
192	* OurDemonsAreDifferent:
193	** Helloon is a balloon-like demon who is always held by Redd, the young child he uses as a pawn.
194	** Arial is the princess of Hell who wants to escape her old life and works as a vigilante in [[BigApplesauce New York City]].
195	* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: In the Fantendoverse, President Richard Independence is [[{{Immortality}} immortal]] and has led the United States for the hundreds of years since its founding. His main political rival is a snail.
196	* OverlyLongGag: For its page quote, the article on ''That One Series With a Long and Uninteresting Name That I Do Not Wish to Remember'' opens with Mondo prattling on about the series without managing to explain much. The ensuing WallOfText can easily fill smaller screens.
197	* OverlyPrePreparedGag: As part of their HumanWeapon status, The Threat's Top 10 are named after their ranks, which [[RankUp change]] if higher-ranking members are killed. The Threat does not care if they off each other. See if you can guess [[BlackComedyCannibalism why Six was afraid of Seven]].
198	* PaletteSwap: Especially in the wiki's early years, many well-known fan characters were created by palette-swapping Nintendo renders and adding details to taste. Whereas Unten didn't get into the first ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' game back in 2009, several recolors did--chief among them the particularly illustrative [=RedYoshi=], a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin red Yoshi]] character. These days, recolors are viewed with more derision, but it's not ''purely'' due to ArtEvolution. At one point, thousands of recolors from {{Platform/Vyond}} started flooding the image search results despite being unused on wiki articles, which prompted debate and special administrative response to deal with.
199	* PhlebotinumOverload: Overusing the Hyper Mode Orbs causes a character to enter their Nega Form, which weakens them and prevents them from using weapons, healing, or innate abilities.
200	* PhysicalGod: Plenty in the Fantendoverse, chief among them The Fan and The Enemy.
201	* PlanetDestroyer: Proving unable to suck Zeon dry of its resources and take it over, Doomulus Grime drills the planet in half instead.
202	* PoisonMushroom: Several inspired by the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series.
203	** The Fake Fire Flower was created to trick hypothetical players. Even if not collected, it can attack with fireballs.
204	** The 1-Down Mushroom is the opposite of a OneUp. Whether it defeats the player character on the spot, or merely subtracts one life from the counter without interrupting gameplay, is up to interpretation. The concept clearly intrigued some readers, spawning the 3-Down and 5-Down Mushroom, which confirm that [[NonStandardGameOver collecting these with too few extra lives]] could cause an instant GameOver.
205	* POVSequel: ''Super Luigi Odyssey'' follows the events of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' from the perspective of Luigi. While he never crossed Mario's path in the base game, he was, by the fangame's interpretation, still involved in several of the same story beats.
206	* ThePowerOfCreation: Obena's antennae let her harness "3D Wavelengths" to 3D-print small objects from her mind.
207	* PowerUpFood: Blumps can unlock Beorns' latent ElementalPowers.
208	* PunnyName: A recurring theme for [[AlternateSelf alternate versions]] of Unten, such as Reten and Suntan. Mynis (and Obena, who is not an alternate Unten but has parallels) seems to be a [[BilingualBonus cross-language pun]] on how ''unten'' is German for "below", despite Unten's name more likely being derived from ''un-'' and ''Nintendo''.
209	[[/folder]]
210
211	[[folder:Q-Z]]
212	* QualityOverQuantity: ''Fantendo Sports Resort'' cuts down from the high number of sports included in previous ''Fantendo Sports'' games to focus on a few.
213	* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: Exposure to cosmic radiation is assumed InUniverse to be the source of Aura Synesthesia's powers.
214	* RageBreakingPoint: Several protagonistic characters have been described as friendly and well-liked most of the time, but completely consumed by rage when the last straw is broken. Assuming it's meant as a character flaw, not [[TheLawOfConservationOfDetail a description]] of [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry what causes the emotion of anger]], this characterization quirk does not seem to affect their reputations.
215	* RareMoney: A one-Fantendollar bill with an Unten–[[Franchise/YokaiWatch Jibanyan]] fusion printed on it is the only such bill in existence, and said to be fervently sought after.
216	* RealTrailerFakeMovie: It is common, especially during the "showcase" events that take after [[MediaNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]], to script out game trailers and presentations to hype up media that will only exist as a wiki article.
217	* ReconcileTheBitterFoes: Unten tries to strike a compromise between the Fantendoverse deities and The Threat. It seems like she could have been swayed, but The Fan and The Enemy [[SubvertedTrope undermine this plan]].
218	* ReformedCriminal: Pickpocket was considered a dastardly thief but has [[HeelFaceTurn become a hero]].
219	* RememberTheNewGuy: Leah Needlenam and X-Ray were intended to debut in a canceled movie, calling for characters in the New Fantendoverse to already know them in their first proper appearances.
220	* RepetitiveName: Lub Lub is one example.
221	* ReroutedFromHeaven: The premise of the ''Sinless'' series. A saint named Sinless Devil was accidentally sent to Hell and became a devil on arrival. In this form, he is barred from staying in Heaven, so he must find [[DismantledMacGuffin eight Holy Pieces]] in order to turn into an angel.
222	* {{Retcon}}: Inevitable, considering how the Fantendoverse works. One notable retcon was the change of Strafe's mother from [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Palutena]] to the original character White Goddess, which was eventually changed back, and then changed again to remove Strafe away from that baggage.
223	* RetGone: [=YoshiEgg=] Nook's universe existed in a doomed timeline, [[CanonDiscontinuity rendering his very existence non-canon]] in the process.
224	* RetrauxFlashback: ''Fantendoverse X: Space'' includes the pre-New Fantendoverse designs for Unten, Netnu, Pesh, and Volt, while creating similar designs for the newer Obena, Synth, and Ibism. These versions are stated as being from an "Alpha Prime" universe as the Prime universe had been destroyed.
225	* RevisitingTheRoots: The Paper Mario RECUT trilogy (remade versions of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'') are the three games redone to follow ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', namely deeper plots, more characterization and designs and a partner system.
226	* RobotMe: [=UNT3N=], a robotic copy of… well, Unten, created by [[BigBad Doomulus Grime]].
227	* RuleSixtyThree: ''Fantendo Now'' introduces Untina, one of Unten's [[AlternateSelf Alternate Selves]] from a [[AlternateUniverse universe]] called "World 2", and [[DownplayedTrope one of the few characters]] whose gender is different in that universe.
228	* SatanicArchetype: The Mysterious Mr. ? is portrayed as Satan, as well as the manifestation of Chaos in the universe. Mr. ? often comes to Earth and other universes and causes Chaos, not for the sake of causing it but rather [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil to maintain balance in the universes]], as opposed to his counterpart Abaddon, the manifestation of Order. He does still get some sick pleasure out of it.
229	* ScarfOfAsskicking: Characters like Unten got them in their New Fantendoverse redesigns.
230	* SdrawkcabName:
231	** [[MeaningfulRename To embody being]] the [[AlikeAndAntitheticalAdversaries opposite]] of Unten, Netnu [[InvokedTrope changed his name]] to be "Unten" spelled backwards.
232	** 4.13 for 3.14, albeit without changing the position of the decimal point.
233	* SeaMonster: These developed to patrol and guard TheBermudaTriangle.
234	* SeriesMascot:
235	** In the ''Fantendo Smash Bros.'' series, Unten, Pesh, Leah Needlenam, 3.14, [=McBoo=], Strafe, and Zerita make the most appearances, and were either made for the Fantendoverse or are more associated with it now than their original series.
236	** Rundrake was intended to be the mascot of ''Kotomo'', appearing in stylized form in the logo. However, readers were much more enamored with [[PreciousPuppy Pubble]], a Water-type canine that can be used as a flotation device. This eerily mirrors the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise's situation with Clefairy and Pikachu.
237	** Redge is the mascot of the ''[=KillGames=]'' series.
238	* ShockAndAwe: Volt can manipulate machines and more with these powers. Unten also has latent electric powers, which he can use with the [[SuperEmpowering help]] of his friend Fanti or by eating [[PowerUpFood Blumps]].
239	* ShoutOut:
240	** The Misfits group is openly inspired by the ComicBook/XMen.
241	** The ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory'' story mode has one for ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''[='=]s infamous TitleDrop.
242	** The New Fantendoverse also added "Standing Ripples", an homage to Stands from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
243	* SingleSpecimenSpecies: Each member of The Threat's Top 10 is uniquely designed and lacks a particular species name unless one is specifically invented for them.
244	* SlimeGirl: Jordyn is a "Greater Mordamorph", being larger and more humanoid than [[CuteSlimeMook other members of the species]].
245	* SoleSurvivor: Yvan, soon to become [=TaBooki=], is the only survivor of [=GherooB=]'s attack on Boo Village in ''[=TaBooki=]: Growing Up''.
246	* TheSpeechless: [=YoshiEgg=] Nook and his reboot YE are mute.
247	* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Used for many of the deities in the Fantendoverse.
248	* SportsStories: Likely due to the popularity of ''VideoGame/WiiSports'' and other SportsGame series, these are somewhat common. The ''Fantendo Sports'' series serves this role for the Fantendoverse and was revived post-Shattering with ''Fantendo Sports Resort''.
249	* SuperEmpowering: Fanti generates the electricity for Unten's attacks.
250	* SuperMode: Many Fantendoverse characters have unlocked a Hyper Form through Hyper Mode Orbs. Characters who [[PhlebotinumOverload overuse this power]] enter [[InvertedTrope Nega Mode]].
251	* SuperScream: The Inkling character Gary has [[RequiredSecondaryPowers special vocal cords]] that let him raise his voice to 130 decibels. They are strongest after vocal exercises and [[LogicalWeakness overuse can damage his throat]]. Gary may also [[PowerIncontinence lose control of his volume]] when panicked or angry.
252	* StylisticSuck: The side wiki Craptendo was dedicated to this before its closure in 2019. On Fantendo proper, some joke articles also go this route. However, leaning too hard into it is discouraged, being seen as a way to circumvent the article standards.
253	* {{Tagline}}: Formerly "Nintendo Fanon Wiki". It arguably hindered itself because Fantendo defines "fanon" differently from the word's general use[[note]]fan theories widespread enough to be treated as canon[[/note]]. And even then, [[WebOriginalFiction original projects]] were perceived as getting preferential treatment to Nintendo fan ideas for most of the wiki's life. After years of suggestions and debate, it was changed to "Game Ideas & More" in 2021 to reduce confusion.
254	* ThereIsAnother: Other Beorn characters undercut the proposition of Unten being the LastOfHisKind.
255	* ThinkingUpPortals: The way that Heralds in the Fantendoverse [[DimensionalTraveler travel between dimensions]].
256	* ThisIsAWorkOfFiction: Used because visitors might, and often still do, mistake the wiki for descriptions of real games and media.
257	* TitleDrop:
258	** Kiva Glaive delivers this in the fifth episode of ''Just Like Old Friends''.
259	--->'''Kiva''': We're just old friends, we can rib on each other.
260	** In the story mode for ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory'', the alien ambassador Obena defines the word ''Fantendo'' as "a group of people that don't give up or turn on each other [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem even when they all kind of hate each other]]."
261	--->'''Nycho''': [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 So. that's it huh? We're some sort of Fantendo Smash Bros…?]]
262	--->'''Obena''': Well… [[NonIndicativeName I don't know about Bros, I mean, there are a lot of women.]]
263	--->[''Four chapters later:'']
264	--->'''Nycho''': This is a Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory for all of us!
265	* {{Toon}}: Scratch Kat and Dawg are anthropomorphic animals with [[StickFigureAnimation stick-figure limbs]] who can use ToonPhysics.
266	* TournamentArc: ''World Tournament'' involves a fighting tournament with old and new characters.
267	* TRexpy: U-Rex combines the ''T. rex''[='=]s body plan with elements of Unten's design.
268	* TheTrickster: Nebuel Tzunn Chadnezzar plays pranks with a [[MoreThanThreeDimensions four-dimensional]] spin.
269	* UnconventionalFoodUsage: The Toasti is a toaster-console hybrid that prints games' visuals by toasting bread. The controller and game cartridges are also edible.
270	* UnexplainedRecovery: Unten reappears alongside his successor after sacrificing himself in ''Fantendo Heroes UNITE!!!''.
271	* {{Unobtainium}}: In the Fantendoverse, the rare, "magical" mineral Sentelenium is nigh-impossible to find outside of TheBermudaTriangle.
272	* TheUnpronounceable: In ''New Super Mario Bros. ♪'', the player collects ♪s on the way to the ♪ Ball, and can get the ♪ Mushroom (pronounced "Music Note Mushroom") to play as ♪ Mario (pronounced "Music''al'' Mario"). Yes, [[ZigZaggingTrope despite some pronunciations existing]], each instance of "♪" is unguessably different and most remain unlisted.
273	* {{Webcomics}}: An established article format. Many of the comics are [[InteractiveComic interactive]], use a [[{{Gamebooks}} gamebook]] format, or otherwise take inspiration from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.
274	* WebOriginalFiction: Has many original projects not based on Nintendo properties. These are often still positioned as new or AlternateHistory series within a fictional media publisher's lineup.
275	* WeirdCrossover: Umbrella games lean into this, [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossing over whatever series]] the author likes.
276	* {{Weredragon}}: The player characters in the ''Draco Duel'' series are Draconids, half-human half-dragons who can transform between these species at will.
277	* WhamEpisode:
278	** As of ''Fantendo Visual Novel'', the Fantendoverse is falling apart, White Goddess isn't who everyone thinks she is, Abaddon is back, and Palutena returns.
279	** In ''Fantendo Smash Bros. Shattered'', the Fantendoverse straight-up ''[[ApocalypseHow dies]]''. A new universe takes its place, but it's lacking a couple of former key characters.
280	** Season 2 of ''Fantendo the Animated Series'' saw sudden, massive shifts in the direction of the series and characters.
281	* WikiVandal: Unlike other wikis, Fantendo has article ownership rules. Thus, it's considered a very light form of vandalism to, say, add substantive detail to fangame articles without the [[invoked]][[ApprovalOfGod author's permission]].[[note]]Does not apply to articles on "canon" subjects from official games, real life, and the like. This rule also leads to the main form of quality control being deleting subpar articles instead of fixing them up with Wiki Magic.[[/note]]
282	* WishFulfillment: A big draw for the site. Ever dream of being a game designer, especially at Nintendo, but you have more experience editing fan wikis[[invoked]] than patience to make a real fangame?
283	* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: The Fantendoverse's MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature makes this practically unavoidable. Even the human characters created for the universe tend to be set apart with impossible hair colors. For instance, Leah Needlenam's hair is purple, and Strafe's is turquoise.
284	* {{Xenofiction}}: For some reason, there are articles for humans, Earth, and the like, which approach the subjects from the perspective of the doubly fictional Nintendo-fanon multiverse and acknowledge reality only in passing.
285	-->Humans are a versatile race that seem to inhabit everywhere. They are found in the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mushroom Kingdom]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand Sarasaland]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Hyrule]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Kanto]], and all over the Mario, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]], Zelda, [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Metroid]], [[Franchise/FireEmblem Fire Emblem]], and other universes.
286	-->Earth and [[FictionalEarth alternate Earths]] appear as settings in a large amount of Fantendo media. This is because [[MostWritersAreHuman most Fantendo users live on the planet]] in real life.
287	* YouAreNumberSix:
288	** Coal Algebraic, a uniquely sentient ambient (a [[{{Hologram}} holographic]] species), was originally named [[MouthfulOfPi 3.14]]. His brother is 4.13.
289	** In the New Fantendoverse, The Threat's Top 10 have no proper names, as she sees them as [[HumanWeapon tools for destruction]]. They are referred to by their ranks in her forces, so that if a higher-ranking member is killed, the lower-ranking "names" are [[RankUp decremented]]. Some do end up getting names, such as Quartz at Unten's suggestion.
290	* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: As an 8-bit GameWithinAGame character, Hiro the Green Lumberjack cannot grasp the real world of ''Conatus'' and believes he is still in his game.
291	* ZombieApocalypse: The plot of some projects, including several with a connection to ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' or ''VideoGame/ZombiU''.
