Games he has Let's Played

Games played for Madame and Slim's Arcade

  • Mario Party 1

SlimKirby provides the following tropes

  • And Now for Something Completely Different: His clip show videos can be considered this.
  • Arc Number: He's really not a fan of the number 41.
  • Back From the Brink: This LP of Mario Party 3! CHANCE TIME ACTUALLY WORKED! ON THE LAST TURN!!!!
  • Badass Long Robe: He wears one in a trailer for his MP2 finale. He used it for a while as an avatar.
  • Butt Monkey: SlimKirby really hates Peach. Or what he'd rather call her, a bitch.
    • In fact, he has created a song just to describe her suckiness. And it's awesome.
  • Catch Phrase: "Hello everybody, SlimKirby here."
    • "I'm gonna bet the farm" was one for a while after he did a co-op vid of Game Guy's room in MP3
    • "Knowing my luck..."
    • "I'm not gonna cry about it" is one he uses to downplay a very optional extra the game has to offer.
    • "VIDEO GAME LOGIC."
  • The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard Happens ALL THE FREAKING Time, even when its not lag related.
    • Oddly, he seems to get his stolen from Boo by the computer players In Mario Party, even though he's not in first. The time he actually calls the CPU on it though, He's actually is in first with a star but has less coins.
    • Happens the most with Princess Peach. In the recent Mario Party 8 playthrough of Boo's board, he finally broke and said that Peach would never re-appear in his board playthroughs. Which would be great and all if it wasn't currently the last Mario Party game.
      • Which turns into a nice little prediction when it was announced that Mario Party 9 was coming out this fall.
  • Double Entendre: He's particularly egregrious about the number 69 in his Mario Party playthroughs, though he has lightened up on it recently.
  • Forty-One Is Death: A Running Gag that is often referenced by Slim and other Let's Players.
  • Funny Background Event: He noticed the Miis based off Colonel Sanders and Madame Wario are both dancing together and finds it hilarious.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck: Typically, he refrains from cussing in his LP's, usually limiting himself to "shoot" or "dang it".
  • Heroic BSOD: He gets this whenever he gets REALLY cheated. Examples include "ONE COIN!" and the rabbit race in Donkey Kong 64, which seemed to cheat blatantly. Also, when his GCN crashed after he was about to win a Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance chapter, he lost it.
  • Hollywood Tone Deaf: Sometimes he sings in his videos, and his videos sometimes think of his singing as such.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: His Donkey Kong 64 replay is full of this.
  • Ironic Echo: "I am not doing a Let's Play of Radiant Dawn." Two years later...

Slim: Hm...I am such a liar.

  • Long Runner: He's been doing it for 4 years, with very little delays between projects. He really devotes a lot of time and care into it.
  • Precision F-Strike: It's very rare for him to swear, but when he does, it's really appropriate.
  • Running Gag: Chance Time screwing SlimKirby.
  • Ship Tease: With MadameWario.
  • The Simpsons: He's LP'd Hit and Run twice. But not only that, he says that he knows a ton of Simpsons knowledge and has watched every episode.
  • Theme Song: During the time he had an opening to his videos, he had a remix of the Deal or No Deal theme alongside videos from Hoshi No Kirby.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: He and ShadowMario41 constantly take potshots at each other in their vids, and to the Maze game, a game maker game SM41 made, but they are actually really close friends and the makers of thier own Co-op Let's Play channel, Crystal Star Studios.
