RIBBIT is a Deltarune Game Mod by TheMaxine. This complete overhaul mod adds a new story, an increased difficulty, and a lot of edgy jokes. Calling it an overhaul mod would be an understatement, since RIBBIT is basically its own fan chapter. Not to mention that the plot and several bosses are completely original.YOU is the last frog of their kind (Yeah, YOU is their name) was abandoned at a nearby orphanage, where they meet Susie, a girl with mysterious pink glowing eyes. Together, they enter a world filled mysterious beings, where a breed of ghosts called the MOTHERSPAWNS invades the land and kill every creature they meet.
With the bratty spoiled prince Noyno, YOU and Susie will go try to destroy the source of the invasion, their own mother's ghost fused together into an Eldritch Abomination.
Frogified Deltarune Tropes:
Under construction- Adaptational Dye-Job: Susie has glowing purple eyes rather than the yellow that she's normally depicted with.
- Adaptational Jerkass: In Deltarune, Ralsei was The Heart of the trio and is extremely friendly. As Prince Nonyo, however, he's a massive jerk. Downplayed when it turns out he was only acting tough because he thought it was the only way to make people take him seriously. He's still more sarcastic and confrontational than Ralsei, however.
- Adaptational Species Change:
- Kris, now known as YOU, is a frog person instead of a human.
- Lancer and Susie are both robots.
- Affectionate Parody: It's largely a joke mod with its own story, but it's one that's made out of passion for Deltarune, also showing its knowledge of trivia of the Undertale franchise and some of Toby Fox's other creations.
- Anti-Climax: Onion is built up as some sort of ominous extra boss, playing a game of "hide and seek" and treated as some kind of eldritch lab experiment. After finally making it to their lab and opening the treasure chest beyond the door, Onion turns out to be dead already. Instead, one of the key pieces for fighting EveryName is found, the actual superboss of the mod.
- Anti-Frustration Features:
- Like Undertale and Deltarune, long cutscenes before certain segments are skipped if the player dies and reloads them, even without manually saving the game.
- After failing at the Rhythm Game "boss" of the Warioware microgames, the player is given the option to go through it with infinite lives, or just skip it entirely. There's also the option to skip it if the hearing impaired option is chosen.
- An NPC in the Onion Lab can be talked to in order to give clues as to how to solve the keypad puzzle.
- If the player dies after the Mettaton phase of the EveryName fight, they are given the option from an NPC to simply skip to the midpoint of the fight after that phase.
- As of the 2.0 update, several attacks are marked as green, and making contact with them will heal the targeted party member.
- Arc Words: You can barely take two steps in The Lodge without reading Kill Susie
- Art Evolution: In the 2.0 update, YOU's sprites are updated to make them better resemble a frog and not solely a Kris sprite swap.
- Bait-and-Switch: After beating EveryName, they push all of the party members offscreen. The camera then pans to the left to reveal a lava pool, implying that they accidentially incinerated the party, then it pans further to the left to reveal that the heroes are just fine on the other side, Noyno lampshading how the pool of lava appeared just after they crossed to the other side of it.
- Bait-and-Switch Boss: The voice behind the door where Jevil was in the original Deltarune claims to still be Jevil and even speaks with his Voice Grunting, implying that Jevil was relatively unchanged from his canon counterpart. When the EveryKey is assembled, it turns out that it's not Jevil at all, but a shape-changer the game calls EveryName, who fights by morphing into every major Undertale boss.
- Big Good: Parodied. After beating MANOS-1966, Rouxls Kaard will claim that he disabled every dangerous puzzle in the castle before the heroes got there. He runs off in fear when Noyno believes him and assigns him to eliminate the rest of the ghosts.
- Bittersweet Ending: In the "Remains Uncertain" ending, Manos is defeated and Noyno manages to become a king, and sets out to restore the land to a peaceful state. However, the force that guides Susie and YOU to become murderous and unhinged is not dealt with, and they fight, presumably killing each other.
- Bragging Rights Reward: If you somehow managed to beat EveryName without increasing your invincibility frames (or by simply activating invincible mode, essentially skipping the challenge entirely), you get a stronger version of the EVERYNAME placebo, EVERYWISH. Obviously, if you can somehow manage surviving something like that, there’s not much of a point in even using the thing.
- Cerebus Rollercoaster: And how. While mostly filled with immature jokes, there can be times that legitimately terrifying things happen, especially towards the end.
- Crossover Punchline: Happens VERY frequently.
- Sonic is among the characters in the orphanage. He thinks that he's in a schoolhouse.
- Big the Cat also appears, doing his usual search for Froggy. Noyno doesn't have the heart to tell him that all the frogs are gone.
- The Wario apparition appears and forces YOU and Noyno into a Warioware segment.
- At one point, you're given the option to teleport to an alternate dimension, leading to YOU entering the world of EarthBound.
- Morshu appears as one of the vendors in the bake sale area. When spoken to, the animations of him from the original Link: Faces of Evil play and he sells Lamp Oil, which is a healing consumable.
- Curse Cut Short: Right before Dr. Andonuts unleashes his rather swear heavy rant from The Halloween Hack, the screen cuts to the Game Over screen from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest with "Swears detected. Automatic Nintendo word filter activated" before cutting back to Andonuts saying a censored version of his last words.Dr. Andonuts: tl;dr: Eat apple, friend.
- Deliberate VHS Quality: The Vapor Woods.
- Downer Ending: Name an ending that isn't this in anyway. At best, you'll get a Bittersweet Ending.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: Lancer/Metta vs Susie. Her axe barrage is unavoidable even with the yellow SOUL mode (all the bullets can do is push one axe up slightly at a time), and no matter what, she will whittle at Metta's health until he dies.
- Last of His Kind: YOU is said to be the last living frog.
- Mood Whiplash:
- Susie killing Lancer is a contender for one of the most harrowing scenes in the entire mod. After it, we immediately cut to Noyno STILL trying to Solve the Soup Cans before Susie breaks him out of the prison.
- After Manos' defeat, there's a scene of a massive blast travelling over the entire map, clearing away the MOTHERSPAWNS and reverting the land to its normal state. It's a triumphant and poignant scene... except for the one screen where it shows a shotgun on a froggy chair instead of a room.
- Only the Leads Get a Downer Ending: In the "Remains Uncertain" ending, Manos is destroyed and the world is restored, the NPCs are back to normal, and Noyno is crowned king, with him promising to let go of his Jerkass Façade and be a just king. But YOU and Susie, who have grown close over the journey, end up having to fight each other, as Susie, being The Master who served Manos and a ghost herself, must be killed to fully rid the world of Manos' influence. The two drag out the fight, wanting a way out but unable to think of one, and the game ends before we see the result. The secret New Game Plus ending indicates Susie won, but by that point, YOU is able to forcibly change the ending to a better one for everyone.
- Pop Quiz: There's three of them:
- The first suite puzzle is replaced by a machine known as The Quizzler, and it asks you a question regarding the puzzle it replaces.
- The second one, in the same location, is R. B. I. Q., with Chuck Quizmo and his two nearly identical looking brothers asking you trivia questions.
- During the Mettaton segment of EveryName's boss battle, he asks you a question about Undertale's FUN value. Though, he stops himself from asking any more because you already had a pop quiz this game.
- Ruder and Cruder: There's even stronger language than in Deltarune, as the mod is not afraid to have swears up to and including "fuck."
- Shoo Out the Clowns: Once YOU reaches the manor, Susie kills off Lancer/Metta, and the game loses most of its humor from that point forward.
- Shout-Out: On a rare example that isn't just a Crossover Punchline, the way that YOU defeats Manos by making Nine wishes against him reflects how Paula defeated Giygas in EarthBound.
- The Stations of the Canon: On account of being a Game Mod, it goes through a few of Deltarune Chapter 1's key points, even if they are changed to fit the new story. Kris/YOU and Susie going to the Dark World/other world, Lancer running in to Ralsei/Noyno, Susie joining and leaving the party before joining again right before the final area, and so on. Things go off the rails in the Lodge, when Susie actually kills Lancer. From there the entire endgame is completely different aside from the Lodge's layout being similar to Card Castle's.
- The Stoic: Averted for YOU, who's more expressive than the original Kris.
- Stylistic Suck: Ribbit first looks like a simple meme mod without much to it other than changing sprites, text, and modifying some cutscenes a little. Early bullet patterns even reuse Deltarune attacks (such as MOTHERSPAWN using card suit attacks), modified slightly. The further it goes on, the more elaborate it's shown to be, having original cutscenes, areas, and bosses. This culminates in a secret boss that re-creates most of the main bosses of Undertale in an amost-professional level, with new mechanics on top of that. There is extensive reworking, it's just not obvious at first.
- Surprisingly Happy Ending: The "Remains Uncertain" ending is a bittersweet example. The whole Lodge segment is more serious than the rest of the game and dips in to outright horror at points. Manos-1966 ends up destroying the world with ghosts falling to it like meteors, kills Noyno, and eats Susie. However, YOU reverses this by lasting long enough in the fight to make nine wishes. This also makes Noyno the king, a well-respected one at that, and his lesson that he doesn't need to act tough sticks. The bitter part is from YOU and Susie killing each other at the very end. In short, it's a happy ending for Noyno and the side characters, but not for YOU or Susie.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: If you found "Toriel's panties" in Toriel's secret room, you can consume it in the mod's equivalent of the classroom. While Berdly reacts appropriately to the sight of a frog eating women's underwear, Noelle and Alphys act as if eating panties is a normal thing for some people and scold Berdly for outing YOU.
- Unwilling Roboticisation: Susie suffered this at the hands of Alphys. She REALLY isn't happy at Lancer when she learns that he doesn't hate Alphys for it.
- Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you eat the OnionChild, the next time you start a new Ribbit file Onion will immediately appear and murder you brutally for killing and eating their child.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Lancer thinks YOU's name is stupid, preferring to call them Joe instead.
- World-Healing Wave: YOU gives one after making nine wishes against MANOS-1966, which repairs the world from being destroyed by meteors and erases the MOTHERSPAWNS. The game shows just about every single room being hit with this wave for good measure.
RIBBIT IS GONE
