Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Demonic Spiders: The literal spiders (aka Zigmos) can make some of the later levels Unwinnable if you lose your weapon. There's also those pesky frogs/Kellos. The literal Goddamned Bats can be particularly demonic when platform jumping. And the jumping swordfish come at you almost-nonstop in the later ocean levels.
Goddamned Rocks. Bounce, bounce, bounce, die, throw your controller.
And there are also bassers which are bats which often qualify too.
Guide Dang It: The success of button-mashing minigames in Adventure Island IV depends on how much food you have in inventory before entering minigame.
That One Level: Although the whole world 8 in the first game is very hard, the world 8-3 is especially noteworthy due to a segment which requires pixel-perfect jumps and firing.
