Roleplay / Wanya Kingdom VS Awoofy Unity

Due to the long-running nature of the roleplay, all spoilers for early events, such as the Apocalypse Arc, are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Wanya Kingdom VS Awoofy Unity, known more commonly as Waddle Wars, is a Play-by-Post roleplay hosted on its own FANDOM Wiki. It started in April 2022, and it still ongoing, though it has had some stagnation in its development at multiple points. After the original wiki was temporarily abandoned, a second one was launched that hosted a Continuity Reboot called Forgorian Legacies, which hosted alternate versions of Waddle Wars' characters and some of its events. Another roleplay was launched called Tales from Brobgonia, which took place after the ending of Waddle Wars. While Tales from Brobgonia died very fast and Forgorian Legacies slowly fizzled out, Waddle Wars itself was at the same time being revived with a new roleplay known as Waddle Wars Rebooted, which is still ongoing, if not as active as before.

Waddle Wars takes place in the Forgotten Land of Kirby and the Forgotten Land fame (here called "Forgor"), on the continent of Brobgonia (sometimes spelled "Borbgonia") somewhere east of where the game happens. The inhabitants, mainly Waddle Dees and Awoofies, live in one of three factions: the Wanya Kingdom, which promotes Waddle Dee supremacy; the Awoofy Unity, which fights for the Awoofies to rule over the Wanyans; and the Waddle Unity, which promotes equality between the two. When the king of the AU, MemeDude, declares war on the WK, people begin to flock towards the newly founded WU, who is seen as a threat by both of the other factions. While preparations continue between the three factions, another, smaller faction looms in the form of the Chaos Agency, the leader of which poses a serious threat to not just the Waddle Dees and Awoofies, but the fabric of reality itself.

In Forgorian Legacies, the entire "war" aspect of the story is abandoned, and as such there are no factions; the people live in the city of Amnesiopolis. The story begins by retracing the steps of Waddle Wars' Apocalypse Arc in a heavily modified, more cohesive way, with a few new faces and some old ones that weren't there for the original. Once the Void situation is taken care of, more individual arcs begin to arise, including the rise of a certain pink princess…

Waddle Wars Rebooted takes place 200 years after the ending of the original Waddle Wars. The three factions still exist, and each have their own territory in New Brobgonia, a continent to the northeast of Old Brobgonia, now a wasteland. The three factions decide to go to war to finish what their predecessors started. Rather than being plot-driven, this roleplay focuses more on the war aspect than either of the other two ever did; while some characters have their own individual arcs, they’re largely self-contained (with exceptions, of course).

General tropes:

Tropes # to G

• Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: Each character sees the fourth wall differently. The creators' Author Avatars have consistent appearance, though.
• Audience? What Audience?: Not all characters can see the creators, leading to this happening on occasion. Often happens to NES in Waddle Wars, since she is married to a Fourth-Wall Observer.
• Author Avatar: The creators sometimes manifest as these. Note that the character they appear to doesn't necessarily have to be a Fourth-Wall Observer.
• Battle Theme Music: Usually, creators select music from other media to serve as their characters' battle themes. A select few have their own unique battle themes courtesy of one creator, who is a composer.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Some characters can communicate with the creators.
• Exploiting the Fourth Wall: Done more commonly in the original Waddle Wars, but all three stories have instances of this.
• Fourth-Wall Observer: Some characters are this.

Tropes H to Z

• Inexplicable Language Fluency: Fragment has been shown to speak any language even if he has never heard it before.
• Medium Awareness: Overlaps with Meta Guy below.
• Meta Guy: Some Fourth-Wall Observers are even aware of the Play-by-Post format of the roleplay and will frequently Lampshade.
• Play-by-Post Games: The format of the roleplay.
• Prime Timeline: The mainline Kirby universe itself is this, numbered Universe 0. Each roleplay takes place in a different Alternate Universe, with Waddle Wars being in Universe 4839, Forgorian Legacies being in Universe 612, and Waddle Wars Rebooted taking place in Universe 4839-B (since 4839-A was already taken by Tales From Brobgonia).
• Shout-Out: Items and characters from other franchises appear frequently, along with being referenced by some characters. Some instances in Rebooted are Justified due to them being designed by Sherran, who has actually been to the universes these things originate from and seen them in action.
• Wistful Amnesia: Fragment has shown multiple times that he has some intuition on his past.

Tropes applying to Waddle Wars:

Tropes # to G

• Aborted Arc: The war itself, ironically. The overwhelming numbers of the Waddle Unity caused it to be called off very early into the wiki's life.
• Afterlife Welcome: Two instances. Both Downplayed as neither involves the real afterlife.
  • Inanire is greeted in the False Afterlife by Pomiosa, who gives her the history of the Dualdiridian species.
  • After the nuke drops, Yoshi ends up in an afterlife with all his friends, despite the fact that he should have entered Cessation of Existence, along with some of the others there. A talk with his creator reveals that this is a specially created realm for Yoshi and his friends to spend eternity in, as he finds Cessation of Existence sad.
• Alternate Self: In addition to Forgorian Legacies' cast of characters being made up mostly of these, a number of Alternate Universes exist which harbor more counterparts. Some of these end up crossing over with Universe 4839.
• Anti-Climax: The entire story ends with a nuke being dropped onto the continent and killing everyone with little buildup or fanfare.
• Apocalypse How:
  • Both Yoshi's dark form and The Void would have caused a Class X-4 one had they not both been stopped.
  • The fourth wall's collapse was a Class X-5.
  • The story itself ends with a Class 0 one, caused by a nuke being dropped on the continent and killing everyone on it.
• Apocalypse Wow: Two out of three.
  • The Void is a large purple vortex that appears to be sucking up bits of reality and frequently emits lightning flashes, and it's a perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle.
  • The collapse of the fourth wall sees first the sky, then the ground crumbling away in triangle-shaped pieces, revealing a different thing behind it for each character. Official art shows a separate glowing rainbow of triangles.
• Arc Villain: Several.
  • The Apocalypse Arc had Yoshi.
  • The Elden Ring event and the events following it had Dr. Moore.
  • The Necrodeus Arc had Necrodeus.
  • The Universe 10 plot had King Dwight.
• Beach Episode: A Loose Canon thread was one of these. Nothing too bad happened there.
• Big Bad: Nerdee becomes this after Connor's absence causes him to become the de facto leader of the Wanya Kingdom. He commits several war crimes, uses dirty tactics, and in general acts as a menace to everyone in the Waddle Unity, which he deeply despises.
• Bookends: Yoshi's mini-arc between returning to find NES dead and dying to Nerdee himself. His first and last thoughts provided by the narration are both Beau's name.
• Break the Cutie: Poppins loses her sister to the Pink Corruption, having to watch her friends destroy the corrupted Inanire, and is utterly devastated by it. Shortly after, she learns that her world is fictional. Dwight becomes busier, causing him to distance from her, and even if the two do get married when he eventually becomes less busy, she still doesn't open up to him about her frequent Ina-based nightmares. Not helping is Necrodeus' manipulation of her just before taking her as a puppet, which saw him giving her visions replaying Ina's death. She never recovers, as she suffers Cessation of Existence (see below) even before the nuke drops.
• Casting a Shadow: Several characters have darkness-themed powers.
  • Yoshi's dark form appears to be made of a living darkness of sorts.
  • Darkness is straight-up made of shadow.
  • Necrodeus transforms people into shadow puppets and turns the sky black.
  • After keeping the Necrostaff, Sherran obtains some of its powers, but she's never seen using its darker power. It still gives her a shadowy aura, though.
• Cessation of Existence: A few characters suffer this fate.
  • In general, this is stated to be the fate of anyone who dies, comes back as a soul, and is killed again. Case in point, this happens to Obscured Yoshi.
  • Poppins, Ina, Vale, Moore, Beau, and Spark all suffered this fate after their respective creators left the wiki. Even Angel's return didn't bring Beau and Spark back.
• Colony Drop:
  • Downplayed. Spacemaster drops a giant ice ball onto the planet to kill the Pink Virus, but everyone is in a bunker and it only freezes it over.
  • Played horrifyingly straight with the nuke.
• The Collector: Necrodeus transforms people into shadow puppets, which, when not in action, take the form of skulls in his necklace.
• Cut Short: The launch of Forgorian Legacies led to Waddle Wars being abandoned, and later unceremoniously ended, before several arcs were resolved.
• Cynicism Catalyst: Chyss' supposed death was this for Yoshi, causing him to lose faith in the good of the world and go down the path that would lead to the darkness' formation.
• Dead Alternate Counterpart: When the alternate Yoshis arrive in Universe 4839, that universe's Yoshi is assumed dead. Subverted in that he's actually alive.
• Death of a Child: It's not shown onscreen nor explicitly mentioned, but Azure was killed in the nuke with most everyone else.
• Death Seeker: After his defeat, Obscured becomes this. Bandee obliges.
• Disney Death: Pretty common, especially after the reveal that anyone who dies can come back as a soul.
  • Yoshi in particular goes through so many of these that it becomes a joke both among the creators and In-Universe.
  • Dwight has one during the Apocalypse Arc, wherein he appears to sacrifice his soul to form the Dream Lepidoptera. He manages to survive.
  • Poppins, Inanire, Vale, and Moore seemingly die when Dr. Dee's procedure goes wrong, but are revived instantly, now un-fused.
  • Bandee gets two: one when Yoshi kills him and Dwight revived him from within the Underworld, and one where he tries to end his life, but comes back as a soul anyway.
  • NES is sliced in half by Nerdee, but comes back as a soul. Said soul is then used to create a machine known as N35, but is later set free. Later on, she sacrifices herself to give Morpho a vessel to become Morpho Knight, but Morpho returns her soul to the world of the living.
  • Sherran is sliced in half by Morpho Knight while under Necrodeus' control. Due to being an innocent victim of Morpho himself, he brings her back once the battle is over.
  • Everyone gets one when the fourth wall collapses and is subsequently rebuilt.
• Divine Conflict: Necrodeus fights against Morpho Knight to decide the fate of his puppets.
• Easily Forgiven: Yoshi, despite his own clarifications that his actions were More than Mind Control and not caused entirely by the darkness, faced little consequence for his attempt to end reality.
• The End: These are the last words of Yoshi's final narration.
• End-of-Series Awareness: Played for Drama, then subverted and then averted. The original collapse of the fourth wall brought about the end of everything, with the Fourth-Wall Observers being aware of exactly what was happening and even the non-Fourth-Wall Observers knowing it was the end of their world. However, the creators reconstructed the world after the fact. The aversion was the actual end of the roleplay: the nuke took every character completely by surprise.
• "Everybody Dies" Ending: The nuke killed every single character (almost; Spacemaster, Hyper, and Nyx were later revealed to have survived).
• Evil Power Vacuum: King Dwight leaves one after his death. It's filled, in succession, by 000, Overlord, and the Death Queen.
• Fate Worse than Death: Necrodeus is turned into a marketable plushie, presumably forever, all while fully conscious and unable to move.

Tropes H to Z

• Happily Married: Dwight and Poppins end up marrying, as do Yoshi and NES. Despite everything else wrong in their lives, both couples stay together.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: NES is sliced in half vertically by Nerdee.
• High-Altitude Battle: The battle between Necrodeus and Morpho Knight takes place entirely in the air, along with a number of the shadow puppets and living combatants also fighting off the ground.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Yoshi stops going after Beau when she gets paired with Parascarf.
• Justified Extra Lives: Scream's glitch half allows him to come back up to five times after dying. This can be recharged.
• Killed Off for Real: Despite the commonness of Disney Deaths, a number of characters do not return.
  • King Dwight is killed by 000.
  • Obscured, at his own request, is killed by Bandee.
  • Inanire succumbs to the Pink Corruption. While she is seen again, it’s firmly established that she is dead and in the afterlife.
  • This eventually happens to almost everyone when the nuke is dropped.
• Laser Blade: Lightsabers, as in their source material.
• Loose Canon: While most of the roleplay has a definitive continuity (albeit sometimes a confusing one due to numerous Retcons), threads like these exist featuring the characters simply going out and doing various things. One example is the Beach Episode above, or one thread where they just went to the bowling alley.
• Lost Food Grievance: Yellow laments that his chicken dinner was really good before Obscured came in and messed up the kitchen.
• Love Triangle: Yoshi and Scarf both fall in love with Beau. In the end, the latter two are paired, and Yoshi steps aside.
• Mind over Matter: Any Force user can do this.
• Mirror Universe: Universe 10 is one, where Dwight (now King Dwight) is the main villain and Nerdee (now Weeb Nerdee) is one of the only moral characters.
• More than Mind Control: Yoshi's darkness. It was formed from Yoshi's own grief and suicidal ideation, blocking off his access to certain emotions like happiness. While Yoshi's decision to destroy reality was his own, he wouldn't have made it if not for the darkness, as Rebooted shows.
• Noticing the Fourth Wall: While most characters either are or aren’t aware of the fourth wall and start that way for the rest of the roleplay, Yoshi has one of these moments. It causes him to Go Mad from the Revelation and his creator has to reset his mental state to avoid him killing anyone.
• Purple Is Poswerful:
  • The Void is a swirling purple vortex, and its only function is to destroy the fabric of reality.
  • Necrodeus is the god of death, and his lower half is made of a purple-and-black fire. Additionally, his shadow puppets have a purple-and-black color scheme to show that they belong to him.
• Quirky Miniboss Squad: The Chaos Agency, comprised of Yoshi, Amy, and Spacemaster. Despite their chaotic mission and dramatic buildup (and Yoshi's then-a-surprise dark form), they still lose their first battle and immediately disband.
• Sadist: Word of God reveals that Necrodeus didn't have to torment Poppins like he did to make her a shadow puppet, but did so anyway to amuse himself.
• Scary Skeleton: Necrodeus, as in his source game.
• Scolding the Fourth-Wall Breaker: A few times, Yoshi is scolded, mostly by Beau, for Breaking the Fourth Wall.
• Shock and Awe: Several characters, including Dwight, Poppins, Zip, and later Sherran, have lightning-based powers and/or attacks.
• The Starscream: Bees helps Yoshi in acquiring the Dark Egg and gives him a base on the moon from which to run his operations. Turns out, he intended to use the Dark Egg to become the nigh-invincible Super Bees and finish what Yoshi started, then create a new world in its place.
• Starter Villain: The Chaos Agency is this. After they disband, their former leader, Yoshi, becomes the first Arc Villain.
• Transhuman Abomination: Er, Trans-Yoshi Abomination; Yoshi's dark form is one, being comprised entirely of a small cloud of smoke with black tendrils made of an unknown black substance.
• Trapped in TV Land: Inverted. In order to save him from Cessation of Existence, Yoshi's creator pulled him behind the fourth wall. While this didn't quite bring him into the real world, he was trapped there, unable to interact with the story, for a few days.
• Whole-Plot Reference: The entire Apocalypse Arc is basically one of Super Paper Mario. A tragic Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who lost someone in their past who turns out to be alive attempts to destroy the world, helped by an enigmatic minion who turns out to be The Starscream because he wanted to build his own world in place of the ruined one. In addition, the Void in both functions exactly the same, right down to being powered by an artifact that The Starscream uses to create his new powerful form, which has the same "Super" naming scheme. To top it all off, the actual Purity Heart from SPM proper is summoned to weaken Super Bees.

Tropes applying to Forgorian Legacies:

Tropes # to G

• Aborted Arc: The R.O.O.N.I. Gang subplot and Pink Petals, Green Land both became this due to the roleplay slowly dying.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Due to NES not arriving until after the Apocalypse Arc was over, while Sherran was there during the final part of said arc, Yoshi is paired with the latter here, while he never even meets the former.
• Adaptation Species Change: NES was a Primarina in Waddle Wars. Here, she's inexplicably a human.
• Alternate Self: The cast is made up almost entirely of alternates of the Waddle Wars cast.
• Apocalypse How: An attempted Class X-4 one by Yoshi, as in Waddle Wars.
• Astral Finale: The Apocalypse Arc ends in one, with the heroes going up into space, fighting a Space Battle with Yoshi's fleet of Vulture Droids, boarding his freighter, and battling him. The freighter sustains enough damage that it crashes into the planet, but thanks to Yoshi, it only lands in the ocean.
• Bad Boss: Sweetheart, as in her canon. While she's shown to at least care about Sakura and later Ren to some extent, she still kidnaps them and forces them to work for her for no pay, even separating Kaito and Aya when their blossoming love for each other causes them to work slower and gross her out.
• Big Damn Heroes: Overlaps with The Cavalry below.
• Boarding Party: Overlaps with Storm the Castle below.
• Body Horror: Yoshi's transformation into his dark form here is considerably more grotesque than in Waddle Wars, where it simply rose out of his dead body. Here, the entire right side of his body has already been blasted off, and he can barely stand on his own, but then those familiar tendrils rapidly extend from his body before the darkness spreads across the rest of his face and body, tearing off his one remaining arm and scattering pieces of Yoshi’s body across the room. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s later revealed that the darkness tore straight through his heart as well.
• Break the Haughty: Ren is found out to be a liar, prompting everyone to shun him. Sakura in particular tells him to shut up if he even talks within earshot of her, causing him to become absolutely despondent. When he finally gets revenge after months by attempting to stop the others' escape, he not only fails, but is left behind by the army of chefs. In the end, he ends up killing himself rather than face Sweetheart's punishment for him.
• The Cavalry: Jiro and Kenji Dee himself show up with an army of chefs to aid the other employees in their escape.
• Chef of Iron: Jiro is easily the most skilled of the Kenji's employees, both in cooking and fighting prowess. He fights with frying pans and knives, and sometimes even uses seasonings to break opponents' focus. Case in point, he's one of the few people shown to be able to beat Leaf, and the only one who escapes from Sweetheart, leading the charge to rescue his fellow employees.
• Continuity Nod: Several times, especially towards the roleplay's start, whenever a character meets another character that their counterpart knew in Waddle Wars, they feel a slight sense of an emotion corresponding to how they saw that character originally.
• Curb Stomp Cushion: Jiro suffers little damage from his fight with Leaf, but she puts up a good fight and gets a few hits in.
• Disney Death: Of the Robotic Disney Death variety. Roams is destroyed repairing the freighter, but Scream is able to gather most of her pieces, including all the important parts, and rebuild her.
• Do Not Adjust Your Set: How Yoshi formally addresses the Void. He tries to calm the populace, but predictably, this has the opposite effect.
• The Dreaded: The R.O.O.N.I. Gang is this to Sherran and co.
• Driven to Suicide: Ren.
• Easily Forgiven: Downplayed. Like in Waddle Wars, Yoshi is eventually forgiven for his attempt to destroy reality, but he does face some consequences. For one, he goes to jail, and is shown to still be feared by everyone there after some months. The main characters don’t forgive him as easily, either, with Eclipse in particular still being angry at him for a while.
• Fun with Acronyms: The R.O.O.N.I. Gang? The merciless Murder, Inc. relentlessly pursuing and psychologically terrorizing Sherran? The acronym in their name stands for Ran Out Of Name Ideas.
• Going Down with the Ship: Yoshi steers his freighter into the ocean when it sustains enough damage, in order to ensure minimal life is lost.

Tropes H to Z

• Harmless Freezing: When Leaf thaws out after her fight with Jiro, she suffers no ill effects.
• Hate Sink: Ren is a liar who constantly inflates his own ego and brags about feats he never accomplished. Following the Kenji's employees' capture, the others find this out, and react accordingly… which causes Ren to betray them and sell them out to Sweetheart. To top it all off, when he fails to stop them from breaking out, he takes his own life rather than own up to his failure and face the consequences of failing Sweetheart.
• Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!: Leaf is encased in ice after being locked in the freezer by Jiro. Unlike most examples of this trope, the ice encasing her is spherical rather than cuboid.
• Justified Extra Lives: Scream, as in Waddle Wars.
• Literal Disarming: Yoshi's arm gets removed in battle. He's able to replace it with one made of his darkness.
• Mass "Oh, Crap!": The public's general reaction to the Void, and again when Yoshi makes his announcement.
• More than Mind Control: Yoshi's darkness, as in Waddle Wars. Somewhat muddied here by the fact that the darkness seems to hold slightly more sentience and autonomy than its predecessor.
• Murder, Inc.: The R.O.O.N.I. Gang is a group of assassins. They end up on Brobgonia to pursue their next target: Sherran.
• Never Be Hurt Again: Yoshi's main motive is that he wants this for himself and everyone else. He plans to achieve it by killing everyone.
• Robot Maid: R0-4M5, or "Roams", is Yoshi's Robot Buddy who also cleans and runs maintenance on the freighter.
• Run the Gauntlet: Sweetheart faces each Kenji's employee one at a time while they stall for time so Jiro can prepare. She beats them all, including Jiro.
• Space Battle: The heroes engage in one against Yoshi's fleet of Vulture Droids.
• Storm the Castle: Er, the freighter. After the Space Battle described above, the heroes board Yoshi's freighter, fending off its security system, trying to make their way to Yoshi himself.
• Take Over the City: Sweetheart's ultimate goal. She partially succeeds, but never finishes and is never overthrown due to her arc becoming an Aborted Arc.
• Tragic Keepsake: Yoshi takes Chyss' lightsaber with him upon visiting the wreck of his freighter and has kept it ever since.
• Transhuman Abomination: Yoshi's dark form, again.
• Tuneless Song of Madness: Ren hums "World's End Valentine" from OMORI while sneaking out of his cell to report to Sweetheart for the first time. The narration notes that his voice is hoarse and off-tune.
• Villain Song: "End the Pain", Yoshi's musical number (and in fact the only musical number in the roleplay) is a Villainous Lament about how he used to be happy before having his only friend taken from him and deciding that the bad in the world outweighed the good, opting to destroy reality so nobody ever had to suffer again.

Tropes applying to Waddle Wars Rebooted:

Tropes # to G

• Airborne Mooks: The Airborne Awoofies, Jet Pack-wearing Awoofies for the Awoofy Unity that fight from the air and shoot opponents from safely out of reach.
• All There in the Manual: Shai-lii's name is never revealed within the story, with it only being listed on certain pages on the wiki (and in a tag on one post).
• Alternate Identity Amnesia: Scream remembers nothing about his time as ERROBERT upon waking up.
• Alternate Self: Yoshi, Chyss, and Sherran are these to their previous deceased incarnations.
• Ambiguous Situation: Just where does Khorro come from? And what is driving its Super-Persistent Predator tendencies towards the World-Hoppers? For that matter, how does it even know where they are?
• Apocalypse How: Khorro's ultimate goal is to cause a Class Z one. So far, it's gotten as far as causing multiple Class X-4s.
• Ascended Extra: Death Queen Sherran has a much bigger role here than she ever did in Waddle Wars proper.
• Attack Its Weak Point: CHAOSCREAM can only be defeated by destroying the crystals on its body. This becomes far easier when it becomes completely covered in said crystals toward the end of its fight.
• Back for the Dead: Death Queen Sherran is killed after only two appearances, one being a flashback.
• Bait-and-Switch: Two in quick succession. After Amara agrees to physically meet Leaf on the battlefield rather than just send out drones with video screens displaying live recording of her, a transport shuttle arrives, carrying… another drone. Cue the real Amara standing directly behind Leaf.
• Big Badass Battle Sequence: There are a number of large-scale battles where large amounts of forces are sent out by both sides.
• The Bus Came Back: Death Queen Sherran returns as she was last seen in Waddle Wars.
• Continuity Nod:
  • One to the Kirby games themselves; Magolor is referenced in passing when Snouter suspects the World-Hoppers have a scheme similar to his.
  • Nerd Metall is mentioned to bear a resemblance to Nerdee.
  • MCM mentions her creator a few times, but she's not talking about the creators; she's referring to the original MCM, who made her before the nuke.
  • Hyper mentions that Scream looks like someone she used to know, referencing the original Scream.
  • Poppins, Inanire, Eclipse, Dwight, Bandee, NES, Yoshi, Chyss, Sherran, and many other characters from the original roleplay appear in-person (albeit as shadow puppets) during the Death Queen Sherran fight, by virtue of being dead and thus under her control.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Death Queen Sherran can manipulate anything made of stone or metal thanks to the Necrostaff.
• Eldritch Abomination: Khorro, an enormous alien parasite capable of consuming entire planets and traveling between universes, devouring each one to satiate its never-ending hunger. Physically, it appears as a giant disgusting brown worm-like creature with a Lamprey Mouth, waving appendages implied to be extra mouths, and way too many insect-like legs, each colored a fleshy pink. It's so long, the back half is never even seen.
• Enemy Mine: Two factions will occasionally team up to stop the third. This is usually seen with the Wanya Kingdom and Awoofy Unity teaming up against the Waddle Unity.
• Evil Is Visceral: One of ERROBERT's forms is a giant beating cybernetic heart. It is completely immobile in this state.
• Extra-ore-dinary: Death Queen Sherran can control absolutely anything made of metal, and uses this to her advantage.
• Flash Step: Chyss can do this. Exactly how is unexplained, as he doesn't exhibit any sort of Super-Speed anywhere else.
• Foreshadowing:
  • The World-Hoppers' encounter with Death Queen Sherran is briefly addressed months before its eventual reveal, when Sherran notes that the one time she's been in the presence of royalty prior to meeting Anton Peepe didn't count because the royalty in question wanted to kill them.
  • Yoshi briefly wonders if "Khorro" is someone's name, before deciding it probably means "I'm sorry" in Shai-lii's language. Turns out, it was someone's name, and that someone is a Planet Eater Eldritch Abomination who quickly destroys their home universe.

Tropes H to Z

• High-Altitude Battle: The fight with Death Queen Sherran begins entirely in the air. Fitting, as the battle against her master was also this.
• Giant Hands of Doom: Death Queen Sherran can create these to fight with.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: Universe 10 is revealed to be in this situation after Waddle Wars' multiverse event. Death Queen Sherran is shown to haphazardly kill citizens when she feels like it, and everyone is terrified of her, but nobody is strong enough to overthrow her.
• "It" Is Dehumanizing:
  • Khorro is referred to solely as "it", befitting its Eldritch Abomination status.
  • While ERROBERT is initially referred to as "he", the narration explicitly calls CHAOSCREAM "it".
• Justified Extra Lives:
  • Scream, as usual, has five lives. How this works is elaborated on a little bit more here, with Nerd stating that his cells duplicate when he's about to die, but they are weaker each time.
  • Thanks to the Respawn Anchors, made from technology that partially utilizes Scream's DNA, every soldier gets five lives. If they are killed on their fifth life, though, or while their Respawn Anchor is destroyed, they are Killed Off for Real.
• Killed Off for Real:
  • CHAOSCREAM destroys forty-four Respawn Anchors, and twelve of the soldiers they belonged to fall in the same battle.
  • The same happens during the battle with Death Queen Sherran, but on a much larger scale: every single Respawn Anchor is destroyed. The estimated death toll from the Awoofy Unity alone is well over forty-four thousand.
  • Luckily, Death Queen Sherran herself also meets this fate in the same battle. While the exact nature of her demise is uncertain (be it Dragged Off to Hell, Cessation of Existence, or simply just dying), it seems unlikely that she can recover.
• Million Mook March: Large-scale battles usually include these during their exposition.
• One-Winged Angel: ERROBERT's final form, CHAOSCREAM.
• Planet Eater: Khorro devours entire universes. The World-Hoppers have been running from it, trying to avoid that fate.
• Praetorian Guard: The Canis Guard, Amara Pyer's elite guard of eight soldiers. They are never seen more than one room away from her, and at least four act as her personal bodyguards at all times.
• Red Herring: "Khorro" is set up to be a word in Shai-lii's language meaning "I'm sorry". It's actually the name of the Eldritch Abomination that's been after the World-Hoppers.
• Respawn Point: The Respawn Anchors, which all three factions have one of for each soldier.
• The Reveal: A few.
  • The World-Hoppers have been to Universe 10, and Death Queen Sherran is still there, ruling in place of Overlord Chyss.
  • "Khorro" is a name, not "I'm sorry" in Shai-lii's language, and the being it belongs to is a Planet Eater Eldritch Abomination who destroyed the World-Hoppers' home universe and every subsequent universe they visited.
• Robot Me: It's revealed that while MCM was killed in the nuke, but made a robotic version of herself beforehand that survived into the present day. However, it's missing most of her memories.
• Running Gag: Yoshi and/or Chyss being blunt about something, followed by Sherran elbowing them and following up, trying to be tactful.
• Shockwave Clap: Death Queen Sherran can do these with her Giant Hands of Doom.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Chyss, whose original counterpart was killed in the nuclear blast and whose Forgorian Legacies counterpart died long before the events of the roleplay. Here, he's alive and fights for the Awoofy Unity as part of an elite strike force.
• Starfish Aliens: Shai-lii (and presumably the rest of her species) has Bizarre Alien Biology, a life cycle of turning to dust and reforming, and while she's capable of speaking English (and somehow learned the language somewhere), the first several languages she resorts to using are all Starfish Languages. However, she's shown to have practical and emotional intelligence.
• Straight for the Commander: The AU tries this on the WU by sending out the World-Hoppers to directly fight Dwight. It doesn't work.
• Super-Persistent Predator: For reasons unknown, Khorro continues to follow the World-Hoppers even though it can seemingly travel through universes freely. Downplayed, since it will finish eating the entire universe it's in before following them again.
• Swallowed Whole: Khorro eats the Link with all three World-Hoppers still inside. They escape by making the jump to another universe while still inside it.
• Transhuman Abomination: ERROBERT and all his subsequent forms. As the name would indicate, it used to be Robertscream.
• Villainous Breakdown: Upon realizing that her puppets are no longer under her command, Death Queen Sherran begins to panic, yelling that she is their master and that they are supposed to obey her as they begin to surround her.
• Walking Spoiler:
  • Mentioning that Death Queen Sherran even appears in Rebooted is a spoiler, and she had a very small role originally, so it's hard to talk about her at all without spoiling the surprise.

• What's Up, King Dude?: Downplayed. Most people are under the impression that they need to do something drastic to get Overseer Pyer's attention, despite her repeated statements that scheduling an appointment with her is not very difficult.
• Zerg Rush: The Awoofy Unity sends out a horde of E.M.M.I.s against the Waddle Unity at one point.
