Easy-Mode Mockery	comment	Easy Mode Mockery is where the game radically changes when you play on easier difficulties. There are two ways to go about this: The Serious Way: You cannot unlock extra gameplay modes or features on the easier difficulties. The game may also end early or not give you the best ending. This is to prevent you from just unlocking all the extras on the easiest levels and then ignoring the main game. The Humiliating Way: The game turns ridiculous in one way or another on easy difficulties. For example, all the enemies turn Super-Deformed and your weapon becomes a broomstick. Now a lot of these "mocking" endings are worth seeing at least once, and in a few cases (most notably Guitar Hero 2 and Rocks The 80s), you actually get rewards from the easiest difficulty you can't get any other way. Has become somewhat of a Discredited Trope, as certain players (especially those with disabilities) generally donâ€™t appreciate a game making fun of them for something that is entirely out of their control. The increasing number of game developers acknowledging that there are gamers who are unable to play on harder difficulty settings, along with the desire to appeal to more casual gamers, has reduced the number of recent examples. Attempts to mitigate this trope vary from not having an easy difficulty altogether, giving various gameplay mechanics to ease the player before the inevitable Difficulty Spike, or instead of locking story or stage, just add score multipliers, or achievements and unlockable wearables exclusive to the completion of the harder difficulties. Related to Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels, where the names of the easy modes often contain taunts. Another related trope is Hints Are for Losers, which is when the game mocks or penalizes the player for trying to use hints. Compare No Fair Cheating, where making the game easier through cheats is discouraged. For some cases where Easy Mode Mockery is provided by other players, see "Stop Having Fun" Guys. Subtrope of Earn Your Fun. Contrast Hard Mode Perks, where the game achieves the same result by rewarding you for choosing harder difficulties. Games featuring a Story Difficulty Setting frequently avert or even invert this by framing the easiest setting as a perfectly valid way to enjoy the game, though this doesn't always mean this trope isn't present either. May involve Achievement Mockery as well. Not to be confused with Completion Mockery, which makes fun of you regardless of the difficulty.

That said, it's literally impossible to die on that particular stage unless you're actively trying to, so it's more like an Easter Egg: said powers make most of the game a lot easier.

If you play the game on easy mode, the game progresses as normal, but the plot basically becomes a Saturday-Morning Cartoon, with characters robbed of all depth to become two-dimensional, one-liner-spewing heroes and villains instead. Conversely, playing on hard mode adds more complexity to the plot, with villains being given sympathetic motives, more details on the game's backstory being divulged and Mission Control character Yellow betraying the heroes to join her brother Green when he deposes General Gray and seizes control of the enemy organization.

That said, because a major part of the scoring system revolves around getting a high maximum Chain and the point of these items is to preserve your Chain, the score penalty is unlikely to hinder you until you're trying to get an S++ rank (990,000 or more, out of 1 million). Using the Change item turns Slide notes into regular notes, but reduces their point values.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_142657fa	comment	Thunder Force: In the Genesis port of Thunder Force II, a hidden options menu allows you to change the difficulty between Training, Normal, and Hard. Setting the difficulty on Training only allows you to play the stage you select, then you're taken back to the title screen. The Easier Than Easy difficulty level in Thunder Force VI is called "Kids" difficulty. Apparently, not wanting to play the game at the intended difficulty means that one is as mature as a child. Furthermore, clearing the game on this difficulty results in a bad ending. The SEGA AGES versions of Thunder Force AC and Thunder Force IV have an Arrange Mode where dying does not take away any of your weapons, but like VI's lowest difficulty, it is called "Kids" mode.

Get through without sacrificing any and you get the best ending, and the only one that has some idealism. Get through by sacrificing some and the game takes a different path that, while cynical, isn't terrible. Sacrifice as many as you can in one chapter and the rest of the game is dark and depressing all the way and leads to the worst possible outcome.

Inverted with the easiest mode "Power Fantasy", because you'd only play that difficulty for, well... a power fantasy. Only babies play the next hardest difficulty because they're not tough enough to go any harder. Later updates play it straight by stating that the difficulty is made for "gaming journalists" (undoutably a Take That! at Polygon's infamous Doom (2016) video) and "the whinny (sic) kids from /vr/ that complains (sic) about BD making the game too hard".

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_2192aeb3	comment	An incredibly minor example in two Fire Emblem games: New Mystery of the Emblem introduces Casual Mode, which disables Permadeath and allows Save Scumming. It also introduces Lunatic Mode, the second-hardest difficulty level in the game. Your reward for clearing Lunatic is, naturally, Lunatic+, the actual hardest. But if you clear Lunatic on Casual, you unlock Lunatic+ for Casual only. This is carried over in Awakening. The Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn cuts out some of the dialogue when played on the easiest difficulty. The international release uses only a single script for all three difficulties, but for some reason, it's the shorter version. There is also an unintentional one in the American release: If you have an easy mode save on your memory card, then when you attempt to transfer data for the Old Save Bonus, the game will freeze. note This is because the international release of Path of Radiance took out that game's hardest difficulty setting and replaced it with an even easier easy mode, and the developers of Radiant Dawn forgot to account for this when they designed the Old Save Bonus. This was fixed in the European/Australian version.

Newer installments have an "Assist Clear" status that is even lower than Easy Clear, for using Assist mods (Auto-Scratchnote automatically plays scratch notes, Legacynote replaces Charge Notes and Backspin Scratches with regular, non-hold notes, 5-keynote automatically plays the two keys on the left or right edge of the keys, Assist Easynote reduces the Life Meter requirement for a clear from 80% to 60%, or any combination thereof), while earlier versions won't even count anything played on Auto Scratch and/or 5 Keys besides incrementing the song's play count. Even without the "Assist Clear" status, Assist mods other than Assist Easy remove playable notes from the chart, reducing the maximum score you can get on it.note As an extreme example of Assist mods hurting your score: "Shakunetsu Beach Side Bunny" on Single Another has 1719 notes, 667 of which are scratches. Using Auto-Scratch takes away enough notes to reduce your maximum score by almost 40%. Since the grading scale will not adjust for these automatically-played notes, this means that even if you play the chart perfectly, you won't have enough points to meet even the 66.7% score threshold for an A rank! In addition, clearing a song on Beginner difficulty will always be recorded as an Easy Clear regardless of modifiers used, will not record your score, and will not earn you any DJ Points.

Especially if you buy the Heart item which grants you more health as he'll start asking if "I should hold your hand too." Then again, he is Cranky Kong. Notably, he keeps his mouth shut if you buy the key that unlocks the extra level in a given world, the only item in the shop that doesn't make anything easier. If you die a lot in a given level, Professor Chops will give you the option to have the Super Guide (featuring Super Kong, a white CPU-controlled Palette Swap of Donkey Kong) beat the level for you. However, the computer purposely avoids collectible items that are out of the way, and you're unable to actually keep the items he does collect.

If you play on the "Simple" difficulty mode, you won't be able to collect the soul contracts of every boss, which is needed to see The Devil and and decide if you want to join him or fight him, which earns you the good ending. In other words, beating a boss on Simple is the same as not beating it at all.

In this version, the game mocks you not for picking an easier difficulty but for turning the blood & gore off (an option that was removed altogether in the final product). Setting the game mode to "Bloody" generated a message reading "With blood for the true sportsman", and setting it to "Bloodless" generated one reading "No blood for the wimps". For the squeamish types, this toggle could influence the game's difficulty, but it would have been entirely in their heads... and that's assuming it even worked (in this prototype it did not; the game was always bloody regardless).

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_4d6ad22f	comment	Virtue's Last Reward has two difficulty settings for the escape portions - Hard and easy. While playing on easy, your companions will drop less than subtle hints to you, often times in a straight out patronizing way. If you examine the same area over and over, or fail at puzzles, their comments will begin to turn from patronizing to straight out telling you how stupid you are. Fail at puzzles enough times, they'll straight out tell you the answer, and if you still fail after this, they'll give you a huge "reason you suck" speech, before solving it for you. In the greater sense, however, the game inverts the trope by having hard mode be the obsolete difficulty option. It's supposed to be a balancing act of having easy mode get the funny dialogue while completing the levels on hard mode rewards the player with gold files containing extra lore. However, the passcodes for the safes, which the player has immediate access to, are the same on both difficulties. Meaning one can just play the level on easy, get the code, and go back and get the gold file right away.

If you play on one of the easier difficulty levels, you are saddled with a horrible ranking like "Warren G. Harding" even if you beat the computer by a country mile. On the other hand, they save the mockery 'til the end, which avoids the problem of driving away newbies before they've become thoroughly hooked.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil: Resident Evil 0 has a Serious example. If you play on Easy, the game doesn't bother to give you a rank or a results screen at the end. There's something of a mild inversion in the Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels of the Resident Evil remake, where the name of the difficulty level is even less mocking than plainly calling it "easy". The respective easy and normal modes are called "Hiking" and "Mountain Climbing", likening the easy difficulty to a leisurely, enjoyable experience. The HD rerelease adds an Easier Than Easy mode labelled "Walking" which is as easy as it sounds, and has the flavour text "You can relax and enjoy yourself" without a hint of derision. Resident Evil 2 has Easy & Normal difficulties. The former has you start with a load of spare ammo for your handgun, everything is less resilient, and an extra file that gives you a few hints to some of the early puzzles. However, you cannot access any of the unlockable content this way i.e. The infinite ammo weapons, the extra costumes or Hunk & Tofu. Rookie save files appear on the menu as white, Normals are Color-Coded for Your Convenience. You cannot change a save file's difficulty when changing scenarios. The Dual Shock re-release adds another Easier Than Easy mode called "Rookie" that starts you off with the unlockable weapons, but still denies you the other post-game rewards. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis has an easy mode that starts Jill off with infinite ink ribbons (basically unlimited saving), an assault rifle and extra magazine for it with about six hundred rounds total, and a case that has 3 first aid sprays inside. Playing on easy locks you out of some of the unlockables, and stalker monster Nemesis doesn't drop any items when you kill him. Resident Evil 4's Easy mode (found in the PC and European/Australian versions of the game), some areas containing key items are sealed off and the related doors are left unlocked, and some of the more difficult secondary bosses are removed; however, you don't get to unlock any new toys for use in Normal or Professional modes. This can be somewhat disconcerting to those who try Easy mode after Normal and Professional (e.g., to beat the game in every possible form), as one of the sealed off areas contains a piece of a composite treasure item (which is moved to a different location in the Easy version). Also, you have to wonder what kind of crazy architect designed a parapet that cuts off your access to the staircase - and in two different instances, no less. Resident Evil 5: Downplayed, but if anyone is being mocked, it's people who play on medium. The difficulty settings and associated flavour text are: AMATEUR: A mode for those who enjoy the journey. NORMAL: A mode for those who find reward through slight struggles. VETERAN: A mode for those who believe that challenge breeds excellence.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the difficulty levels are all named after characters. In order to emulate the single most kickass and heroic character in the mythos, you have to beat it on The Boss Extreme difficulty. However, if you're not up to that standard and decide to play it on Easy Mode, you're stuck in name as Liquid - the first of the three cloned Snakes in the series to die. Strangely enough, there's also two Normal difficulties — Naked Normal and Solid Normal, which are just the Japanese Normal and Overseas Normal/Japanese Hard settings, respectively. If you die multiple times in a single mission in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, you are offered the option to don the Chicken Hat, which gives you a few mulligans in case you are spotted by an enemy, thereby making the mission a bit easier. However, doing so adds a penalty to your final score, and... well, it looks like something a fast food cashier would wear. And if you somehow manage to fail the mission and die TEN times while wearing THAT hat, you're "awarded" the Little Chick Hat, which makes you look like a newly hatched chicken, makes you completely invisible to enemies, and reduces your mission score to zero no matter what.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_63efdfd1	comment	Tales of... Barbatos, the Superboss of the PS2 version of Tales of Destiny, if fought on the Simple difficulty, will immediately start the fight off with an upgraded version of his Genocide Braver called Cheap Eliminate, his quote for the attack being something that roughly translates to "You aren't qualified to fight me!". It covers the entire length of the screen in front of him, and is instant death for anyone who gets hit by it, save for those using certain invulnerability granting moves. He'll then use it immediately after every single attack he performs, but can be defeated if one can get close to him, where dodging it becomes a simple matter of dashing past him when he starts firing it and countering accordingly. The battle generally ends up becoming a solo job due to the AI being incapable of dodging the move consistently, however. In the Updated Re-release, he gains a new attack called Hell Heat that fires dozens of similarly powerful homing beams that he'll use in between every few Cheap Eliminates (And almost constantly at low HP). This will wipe out those who opted to dodge the former attack by simply jumping over it, but can still be negated by other means. His stats also got buffed so he doesn't go down nearly as quickly as in the original version. Fighting on Easy in Tales of Vesperia will get you zero GRADE, meaning no treats for New Game Plus.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_6668f98a	comment	Played mostly straight in Novastorm, which has two difficulty levels ("Easy" and "Hard"). The only differences in the two are the number of enemies, the value of the coin pickups dropped by some enemies, and the special weak point locations on some bosses. This means that someone playing on hard and defeating ONLY the enemies that show up on Easy will still get stronger weapons faster than on Easy mode. Surprisingly enough, you don't take more damage on Hard for any given hit or scrape, so you have a choice between "weak weapons" and "more enemies". Of course, the high score board doesn't care what difficulty you play (or how many times you die...), so any real attempt at a high score needs to be made on Hard.

Experience has regular multipliers based on the difficulty, where on Normal, making kills or your teammates killing tagged enemies awards 5 experience, and teammates otherwise killing enemies on their own awards 3, and Realistic ups that to 10 and 5 respectively. ACES points don't get this sort of multiplier; a kill at extreme long range rewards 3 Sharpshooter points, a kill with a grenade awards 2 Assault points, killing with blind-fire awards 3 CQB points, etc., regardless of difficulty - except on Easy. There, everything is only worth one experience and, if it qualified as an ACES kill, one point.

(All the others are available in all difficulty levels, of course.) Oh, and having all seven MacGuffins gives you significant advantages against the final boss: namely a fast-charging rocket-pack and immunity to one of the first form's attacks. Speaking of the SNES Sparkster, it has this even at Normal Difficulty. Easy mode is labeled Digest (which is their way of saying "this mode is missing lots of stuff"), but there's really no excuse for Normal mode to not have the final boss in it unless they really wanted it to be a True Final Boss.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_7c31fdd7	comment	Playing Easy mode in Valkyrie Profile cuts out a significant amount of content from the game, leaving out many dungeons and some items, and making it impossible to get the best ending (which is admittedly almost impossible to get without the guide anyway.) Ironically, this actually makes Easy mode harder than either Medium or Hard, since some of the content which Easy omits is extremely helpful for winning the game. Apart from the inability to get the best ending on easy, Valkyrie Profile is all over the place. Each of the game's dungeons only appears in certain difficulties, and only on some playthroughs, so playing easy mode, then normal, then hard will actually get you more content than just hard mode. Furthermore, hard mode is possibly the easiest, because new characters start at level 1, which is an advantage once you have items that improve their stats when they level up; you won't get those benefits if they join the party at level 30 in easy mode. Also because sometimes you need to level up characters for skill points in preparation for sending them to Valhalla, and it takes less XP with level 1's. Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume determines the path the game takes based on how many allies you sacrificed to essentially skip stages. Get through without sacrificing any and you get the best ending, and the only one that has some idealism. Get through by sacrificing some and the game takes a different path that, while cynical, isn't terrible. Sacrifice as many as you can in one chapter and the rest of the game is dark and depressing all the way and leads to the worst possible outcome.

However, you get a bronze star rather than a genuine Power Star. They count toward your total star count, but if you have even one bronze star in your inventory, you can't unlock the final level. The Cosmic Guide will not work if you're playing as Luigi, however. In all New Super Mario Bros. games after the first and Super Mario 3D Land, if you use any Super Guides while playing, the stars on your save file sheet will stop glowing. In the case of 3D Land and NSMB Wii, your glowing stars will be removed if you are ever offered use of the easy mode. Simply dying too many times on one level makes your glowing stars lost forever after you see the block and save. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels features a variation of this: If you use any warp zones (even the ones that send you back to an earlier level) while playing this game, then you cannot unlock World 9. If you beat Worlds 1-8 without warping and complete World 9, but use warp zones in Worlds A-D, then you will be locked out of World 9 the next time you play it.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_84dfb5d5	comment	In Galactic Civilizations II, a turn-based space strategy game, the AI of computer players is circumscribed on lower difficulties. As an example, on an easy setting, the AI will not react to your assembling an invasion fleet directly next to one of their planets. It will, however, pop up the diplomacy screen and tell you he knows what you're doing — it's simply that his generals are too stupid to take appropriate action.note Print game journalists often play games on easy settings to work through them more quickly, and Stardock was concerned that because the AI is nerfed on those difficulties, reviewers might unjustly pan their AI players. The AI notifications were put in to forestall this possibility, and it's largely due to the overall tongue-in-cheek feel of the game that it takes the form of mockery. In fact, the Yor, even Lean on the Fourth Wall a bit, by mentioning that their generals are "set" to an intelligence level below what's needed, and even name the needed setting.

Frustratingly, playing on Trauma disables the 5th chapter of the game because the game's semi-true ending takes place at the end of the 4th chapter. Not to mention Trauma changes the rules such that certain bonus objectives are impossible to achieve. You get the option of starting with all the bonuses from your last playthrough at the second hardest difficulty, but that's actually easier than starting over on the hardest. Whee. In addition, when selecting Daydream as the difficulty level at the start of the game, the game outright warns the player that Daydream is intended for beginners and thus extremely easy. And that the bonus tarot cards are disabled and can't be earned at all. Any difficulty not Trauma also (possibly intentionally) creates a Plot Hole in the ongoing story - it's not explained how you meet Eve, a character who helps the PC.

Furthermore, Very Easy mode will append a bright purple EASY MODE text to the top left corner of the screen (whereas Hard and Expert do not display any difficulty indicator). Aside from the humilation elements, Easy has less enemies and bullets, which may seem like an obvious advantage but also makes it harder to score points, which are much-needed as you earn bombs and extra lives at point thresholds.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_97419b7f	comment	Fatal Racing: The number of laps on a race is difficulty-dependent. Girlie mode has this below 5 laps for all of the first two cups. Two problems come from this: first, the AI is NOT restricted by the acceleration and braking stats of the car they drive (which means the slowest car can pass you from 16th place on the first lap), and second, the 8th course of the first two cups is nigh-unwinnable on Girlie mode, and most of the other tracks are difficult to get decent placement on, requiring a near-perfect performance on all 8 tracks in championship mode to win. The final slap in the face? The third cup is only unlockable on Impossible or DEATH difficulties - by clearing BOTH cups before it on that difficulty! On Girlie mode you just have to pick a fast car and overtake everyone, much like a traditional arcade racer; damage is largely irrelevant. On Impossible and DEATH, due to races that last well over 15 laps and the lack of ways to actually outrace opponents when the track is not favourable to your chosen car, the only way to win some of these races is by having a better pitstop strategy, which also forces you to crank up the damage multiplier. In short, the easier difficulties do not prepare you for the real game in any way shape or form.

The Stage 5 boss retreats while telling you to come back when you're stronger, the player character can't catch up to her and you get the bad ending. Similar to the above example, in Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, if you beat the Stage 5 boss on Easy mode, she essentially mocks you(r character) for playing Easy mode. Your character then leaves. Bad End. No final boss for you.note There is a story reason for this — the fight was so easy Sakuya was able to bend time around your entire duel and it's way too late to stop the Big Bad, but it's buried behind her blatantly saying she wouldn't have been able to do so on a higher difficulty. More specific to the trope, some older Touhou games (Ten Desires and older) won't let you get the good ending and unlock the Extra Stage if you complete the game on Easy. In fact, Subterranean Animism has a bug that if you already have the Extra Stage unlocked and then complete the game on Easy, it will lock the stage right back up. Considering that the Extra Stage is somewhere between Hard and Lunatic in terms of difficulty, if you can only clear the game on Easy, you are probably not prepared for the Extra Stage anyway. Generally inverted in the difficulty selection screens, which often say that Lunatic difficulty is for people with no life or for weird people. Easy mode's description in Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism is essentially "please train more so your friends won't make fun of you". While not an in-game element, the Touhou fan-created song "Stops at the Affected Area and Immediately Dissolves" (a remix of Reisen's boss theme) mocks Easy mode players. The Touhou arcade game Sakura Fantastica outright calls easy mode "Kids Mode".

The very easiest difficulty level arms pretty much all characters with shovels instead of guns. Not exactly a punishment, although you do miss out on how the game is meant to be experienced. Also, since no one really has guns, finding ammo is nearly impossible. The easiest setting is called Liebermode (a shot at former Senator Joe Lieberman, one of the most vocal Moral Guardian crusaders against video games). In it, not only is everyone significantly less aggressive than they could be, just about every weapon people wield are tazers that quite literally do absolutely no damage when wielded by anyone other than the player.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_b3309b69	comment	With the Puyo Puyo titles, there is the recurring Easy (sometimes called RunRun) course, which zigzags this trope. On one hand, these courses often offer a unique set of opponents to fight that aren't in the main course, but at the same time mocks you once they're completed. For example in the first arcade game and several ports of Puyo Puyo 2, the Dark Prince will mock you and coax you to play the main course to challenge him, while for Draco's course in Puyo Puyo Sun the credits are played so fast that you cannot read them. Even when you do play the main course however, the game actively encourages you to play at a higher difficulty, all for the sake of earning a "Thank you for playing" message. This also similarly applies to Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. For the former you are mocked by King Dedede in the Easy course, while the latter still tries to encourage you to play at a higher difficulty for a half-baked "congratulations" message.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Playing Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles on easy mode in Sonic Jam gives you a heavily abridged version of them that only features one act per-zone, cutting off a large chunk of the game's content, such as the other acts, cutscenes, music and many of the bosses in the process. Wing Fortress Zone (and by extension, the cutscene between it and Death Egg Zone) is also absent in the easy difficulty for Sonic 2. Playing as Tails in the 2011 remake of Sonic CD will disable Achievements/Trophies. Playing as Tails (who shares Sonic's campaign) in Sonic 3 & Knuckles locks you out of Doomsday Zone by default, even if you collected all the Chaos and Super Emeraldsnote You can access the zone through the level select if debug mode is activated, however. In Sonic Frontiers, reaching the end of the game on Easy or Normal Mode (as you can switch difficulty at any time in the game up to the final boss) will skip the Bullet Hell part of the final battle with The End, which is quite extensive. It will just skip to the Quick Time Events. To get the full experience, you have to reach/beat the Supreme Titan on the hardest difficulty.

On Normal and Hard modes, which image you see is determined by your completion time and item collection percentage. But if you play on Easy, you'll only ever get the image of Samus in full armor sitting atop a rock, regardless of your time or completion rating.note On Normal or Hard, this image is the result of clearing the game in over 4 hours AND between 16%-99% item collection. In other words, the worst possible ending.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_b97f2ebd	comment	In the SNES game Panel de Pon, the story mode ends at different points on each level. Easy mode ends after Thanatos's minions, Phoenix and Dragon. Medium ends after defeating Thanatos, but with a brief, unsatisfying ending. Only Hard and higher allow you to actually face the final boss and get an actual conclusion to the story. Tetris Attack, the version of the game released internationally, has an identical system. Furthermore, clearing Panel de Pon's story mode on Easy doesn't give you an ending, only a simple "Congratulations!" message, accompanied by Lip wishing you good luck on the next difficulty level. Idling at this screen will cause her to inform you that you won't be getting any special reward for finishing Easy mode, and you should just press Reset (in Tetris Attack, this isn't actually necessary—the localization lets you just push A to exit the ending screens). In Tetris Attack, if you idle even further, Yoshi will get annoyed and yell at you: An added feature in Tetris Attack is an options menu that features a setting to have the game play itself, with several levels of skill. Trying to use this to complete any mode with an ending gets you a message telling you to play for real. In PokÃ©mon Puzzle League for N64 (which was actually an unreleased in Japan sequel to Panel de Pon dolled up), Easy Mode stops you after Giovanni, Medium stops you after Bruno, Hard stops you after the second Gary. You get a cup at the end of Hard, but the true ending isn't seen until you beat the game on Very Hard or Super Hard and beat the game's real final boss, Mewtwo.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_ba1083f7	comment	On the first two Guitar Hero games, you earn no money in Easy Mode and cannot access the Store. The second game is particularly mean, as you aren't allowed to perform encores and cannot access the last set of songs, preventing you from playing them in Quickplay, and are told to try the harder difficulties on the loading screen. (This is rather frustrating when you realize you must complete Easy and five-star all the songs to unlock two of the guitars.) The third game, which is somewhat harder on all difficulties than its predecessors, removes these limitations. Rock Band, made by the same company that made the first two Guitar Hero games, returns to this trope in the solo modes, preventing you from unlocking the last sets of songs on the Easy career tour. The multiplayer Band World Tour mode takes this further: after a certain point, the Easy difficulty is locked out, forcing everyone to play at least on Medium. Rock Band 2 continues the tradition. If certain songs are in your setlist in tour mode, Easy difficulty is locked out. On some late single-song gigs, Easy and Medium difficulty get locked out, forcing everyone on Medium to jump to Hard. Going even earlier, Harmonix's first two games, Frequency and Amplitude, lock out certain songs depending on your difficulty level. The only way to unlock every song in the game is to beat in on the highest difficulty. This isn't so bad in Amplitude, but in Frequency, your hands would sooner liberate themselves from your arms and jump out the nearest window.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_be68ee29	comment	In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: When adjusting the Intensity setting for Classic Mode, a little diorama suggests the difficulty and rewards of the setting. On Intensity 0.0-0.9 Effortless in the 3DS version, the background is a barren plain, the spirit guarding a bag of gold coins looks sad and tiny, and Mario scratches his head while looking down at it. Even the sound made by switching down to that Intensity sounds pathetic! The Wii U version has the same puny spirit and a similar wimpy sound effect on those low intensities, but the diorama shows the entrance to a cave, peaceful waterfall sounds play instead of crackling flames, and the gold hoard barely covers the bottom of the screen. As further mockery, you have to pay coins to play on this Intensity. In a more serious example, you can only see all the forms of the game's True Final Boss if you play on 7.5 (3DS) or 8.0 (Wii U) or above, and cannot fight the boss at all if you're playing at 0.0-5.4 (3DS) or 0.0-5.0 (Wii U). Also inverted at 8.0 and up by preventing you from taking on the standard Final Boss in the 3DS version.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_c2b05afe	comment	Arcaea: Partners with the Easy Life Meter make it easier to clear songs by reducing the penalty you get for missing notes. Naturally, they have lower parameters than other Partners, meaning less Fragment gains and less World Mode progress. You'll also get a green Clear icon and it won't count towards the number of songs you have cleared. Zigzagged with the Fracture version of Hikari. She has a special lifebar that starts off as an Easy meter, but turns into a Hard meter when it reaches 100%; that is, any amount of life remaining will result in completing the track, but dropping to 0% will result in a Game Over (non-Hard meters don't fail out at 0% but must be at 70% or higher to pass). In some cases it is easier to use a Partner with the standard meter, but either way, it will still be marked as an Easy clear. That said, Fracture Hikari also has one of the highest Step parameters in the game, making her a viable Partner for World Mode. Inverted with the Partner DORO*C, who subverts the lifebar by instead turning it into a score meter. If you get a AA rank (9,500,000 points out of 10,000,000), you clear the song. Despite the fact that it is generally harder to get a AA than to just clear a song, playing as her still nets you an Easy clear.

This is a good thing, because some of the challenges give you glimpses of the final stage, so you can practice a bit before you get to the real thing. Beating Normal mode in one shot is more than difficult enough without the added challenge of playing a level you've never seen before. Contra III: The Alien Wars will only let you fight the True Final Boss on the hardest setting. The Easy and Normal mode will stop after the Final Boss reveals it is Not Quite Dead and you get a message telling you to play on the next difficulty level and are promptly booted to Stage 1.

Said Easy Mode outright costs you 300 mags to activate and is found halfway through the game, hinting at its uselessness, and activating it locks you in a linear area and gives you a comically overpowered foam stick and a bunch of jerky, before having you "fight" Larry Stinz dressed as Buddyâ€™s Boyfriend and a scarecrow version of Brad, before Larry Stinz gets bored and goes home, turning the scarecrow into a thumps up hand as the screen cuts to a The End screen. In the Updated Re-release, genuine easy modes were added to Joyful and Painful called Painless difficulty. Activating it is done by essentially taking Terry Hintzâ€™s "Terroids", and the description mentions that Brad/Buddy feels somewhat ashamed resorting to them.

Mega Man X8 stops you just before the final boss if you play on easy. Surprisingly, the game is rather subtle about it here. After all, Sigma NOT being the final boss is a major surprise. If you play on Easy in Mega Man ZX, you can unlock and fight Omega of Mega Man Zero 3 fame, but you won't receive the reward for defeating him, the OX module. In Mega Man Powered Up: The final battle with Dr. Wily ends after the first phase on Easy Mode, wherein Wily escapes cackling "Maybe next time!". It still gives an epilogue that assumes he was actually defeated, though. Collectibles scattered through the levels that add features to the game's Level Editor also do not spawn in Easy Mode. In Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, if Super Armour is enabled, a tiny icon appears in the top-left corner of the game screen to indicate it, making it easy to determine if videos or screenshots were taken with it enabled. In Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2, each game has an achievement for beating it that you could only earn if Rookie Hunter mode is not on (and once again, X8's Easy mode does not count), and X5 has an extra achievement for clearing Zero Stage 1 without the use of Dark Hold that, again, could not be earned with Rookie Hunter mode. On the other hand, Mega Man X6 has an achievement that actually requires Rookie Hunter mode to earn... and it's stupidly easy to get (just fall into a pit).

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_f3c58c73	comment	King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow has two possible routes to the endgame, a long one and a short one. Taking the short one locks you out of several sidequests and has a much more bittersweet denouement. Cassima even wistfully laments all the things Alexander didn't do because he took the short path.

Playing on easy locks you out of some of the unlockables, and stalker monster Nemesis doesn't drop any items when you kill him.

While the secret endings can be accessed on Standard Mode, the main requirement for doing so in this case involves getting 100% Completion, which has some intentionally absurd objectives. Starting with Birth by Sleep Final Mix, secret endings can be unlocked on Beginner Mode, but usually have extra requirements as consequence. BBSFM is also where the Standard Mode requirements stop being 100% Completion, making all associated unlocks significantly easier. Playing on Beginner Mode in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] prevents the "Risky Winds" Forecast from happening. The bad part comes from the fact that Risky Winds make all Dream Eaters created there one grade higher than normal and increases the chance of making rare Dream Eaters. Kingdom Hearts III: Unlike previous series entries, you can see the secret ending if playing on Beginner Mode. However, the requirements are still the steepest on Beginner Mode since you have to find all 90 Lucky Emblems. Patch 1.0.9 adds a stronger example, as beating the game on Critical Mode is required to earn the Oblivion Keyblade, but it can be carried over to any other difficulty on New Game Plus.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_f9b9dfe4	comment	The Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn cuts out some of the dialogue when played on the easiest difficulty. The international release uses only a single script for all three difficulties, but for some reason, it's the shorter version. There is also an unintentional one in the American release: If you have an easy mode save on your memory card, then when you attempt to transfer data for the Old Save Bonus, the game will freeze. note This is because the international release of Path of Radiance took out that game's hardest difficulty setting and replaced it with an even easier easy mode, and the developers of Radiant Dawn forgot to account for this when they designed the Old Save Bonus. This was fixed in the European/Australian version.

Easy-Mode Mockery / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: When adjusting the Intensity setting for Classic Mode, a little diorama suggests the difficulty and rewards of the setting. On Intensity 0.0-0.9 Effortless in the 3DS version, the background is a barren plain, the spirit guarding a bag of gold coins looks sad and tiny, and Mario scratches his head while looking down at it. Even the sound made by switching down to that Intensity sounds pathetic! The Wii U version has the same puny spirit and a similar wimpy sound effect on those low intensities, but the diorama shows the entrance to a cave, peaceful waterfall sounds play instead of crackling flames, and the gold hoard barely covers the bottom of the screen. As further mockery, you have to pay coins to play on this Intensity. In a more serious example, you can only see all the forms of the game's True Final Boss if you play on 7.5 (3DS) or 8.0 (Wii U) or above, and cannot fight the boss at all if you're playing at 0.0-5.4 (3DS) or 0.0-5.0 (Wii U). Also inverted at 8.0 and up by preventing you from taking on the standard Final Boss in the 3DS version. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the easier difficulties of the Classic mode difficulty mural show adorable light pictures of the cuter characters. Averted otherwise; besides the amount of coins and Spirit Points, there's no reason but pride if you want to go to Easy or Very Easy in World of Light to take on Ace or Legend ranked Spirits that are a bit too hard for the average player, or use an item to make a hard battle or the barrier on the Spirit Board more bearable since that's what they're there for.
