Tropes pertaining to his channel:
- A Cappella: Part 3 of the Mega Man 6 playthrough involves an acapella Affectionate Parody of Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime".
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: Him taking damage at the end of Junk Man's stage in Mega Man 7.Nathaniel: ''You may have noticed that Mega Man can now switch instantly back and forth between (takes a hit) being at full health and not being at full health.
- Difficult, but Awesome: Nathaniel considers Top Spin this.
- Epic Fail: Averted Trope for the most part, except for "Nathaniel Hoover's Top 10 Eliminations of the Day" in one of his Mega Man 5 bonus videos. And many of his failed "showoffery" attempts as mentioned in this video.
- Fun with Acronyms: Barely Even Adequate Teammate.
- Innocently Insensitive: Downplayed with the "Oh Can-you're-done" joke he made in Mega Man 6.
- Shout-Out: Many of these occur.
- The title of most of his videos are shoutouts alone. For example: Rock–Paper–Scissors, Pertains to Trains and Watermobiles, What's Up Doc Robot?, Go West Young Mega Man, and so on.
- The song number in part 3 of Mega Man 6 is one to Talking Heads.
- Sounding It Out: Almost any time text shows up on screen, Nathaniel will inevitably do this.
- Visible Silence: Parodied any time it shows up, but it's more blatant when he's playing the intro of Mega Man 7.
Don't get eliminated!
