Rainbow Pimp Gear	comment	Rainbow Pimp Gear is what happens in a video game when players equip their characters with gear solely based on stat bonuses without consideration for how it will look on them. The end results tend to be... colorful, to say the least. This tended to be much more of a problem in the past. Nowadays, developers are wise to the problem, and offer several solutions, including adjusting the colours of the items, letting you cosmetically alter them so they look like another item, implement an Equipment-Hiding Fashion slot that allows one to override the appearance of stat-affecting equipment with another piece of equipment, keep stat-affecting and appearance-affecting equipment completely separate, or have the equipment give their bonuses at all times even if you're not wearing them. One other way to counteract this is making the best possible clothing combination is by definition a set that matches (either because they all happen to be the best by design, or because they have a Set Bonus that makes them the best when worn together). It's more than just looking like a Rummage Sale Reject — the game has to not only show the player the full clothing combination (so no Informed Equipment), but also provide a real advantage to equipping this particular clothing combination (whether intentionally or not). If a game has it really bad, it might avert No Cutscene Inventory Inertia, and your Rainbow Pimp Gear could even be seen prominently during an otherwise dramatic cutscene. A result of applying Virtual Paper Doll effects to equipment that affects gameplay, often just overlooked per Rule of Funny. Closely related to Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit, where a single piece of clothing looks silly on its own but is worth it for the powers it grants. Compare Rummage Sale Reject, Impossibly Tacky Clothes. Not to be confused with Pimp Duds. Examples

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_10c71f4	comment	Averted in Wizard101 and Pirate101. Yes, when you first get an item it may clash, but you can go to a shop in the main shopping district and dye it to match whatever else you have on if you have the gold (and by the second world, you always will). This is good because it's almost always better to use drops instead of buying shop items (except in the case of decks and sometimes wands). Though some hat and robe combos might look a bit odd regardless, you can just also use a small amount of real-world money to stitch items (stitch the appearance of one item with the stats of another). Some pets and mounts can be dyed, but only a small amount, and neither can be stitched, though you can hatch pets to transfer talents from one another.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_10d303a2	comment	In Shin Megami Tensei IV, you can gather various pieces of several sets of armor, which are not required to match. Perhaps in acknowledgement, there are sets of Monster Clown masks and helmets apparently inspired by Robbie the Rabbit, which (un)fortunately happen to have very good stats. There are many different complete suits of armor, but the difficulty of locating where and under which conditions the rarest sets can be found, and how some pieces can be given as quest rewards, mean this trope is in full effect.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_13998e73	comment	MapleStory: In the later stages, you'll get to a level where you can't buy armour anymore, and you have to equip what you can find, whatever colour it is. Luckily, you can fix this with cash shop equipment, which masks over whatever you're actually wearing, but it's not cheap. There are also invisible item masks, which just hide specific equipped items to make it look like you're not wearing anything in that equipment slot. Some players will dabble in Min-Maxing and create a character appearance that looks utterly ridiculous. In most games, you wouldn't be able to get away with running around wearing a glowing stone relic for a helmet and weird green shoes, using a paintbrush as your weapon, and having no armor other than a Modesty Towel. At as low a level as 18 (out of 200), a fairly simple quest rewards you with a terribly tacky mascot helmet — which happens to have defense and stat bonuses leagues ahead of any other hat. It also happens to render your head completely invisible, and the only way to see your face again is to either wear a less powerful hat or buy an NX hat. Subverted with like-coloured equipment that comes with stat boosts — those boosts are significant enough that it's a perfectly viable strategy to obsessively hunt down all the gear in a particular colour. Part of the problem, though, was that the resident search engine for the Free Market, the Owl of Minerva, costs about 600 NX, so the only really cost-effective way to find all that gear is to jump into the infamous sea of spam or spend hours looking for it in overpriced player stores. It wasn't too bad at first, but then Nexon began to release special equipment which outshone the standard equipment in stats so much that wearing standard equipment would automatically brand you as someone who isn't playing the game correctly. At least their outfits will match.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_188ecb94	comment	In Half-Minute Hero, most of the clothing items are deliberately mismatched and stupid, with only a few items that fit the usual JRPG armour tropes. And you can't take equipment you gain in later levels with you. This means you will probably be wearing outfits like a long brown wig (grants good evasion), a Fundoshi (attack bonus), a utility knife (good attack and speed), and wellington boots (big speed bonus).

Of your eleven item slots, only armor, weapons, shield, helmet, and cloak are visible; the latter two can be made invisible. Armor is a single item, so it never clashes with itself, although some look pretty dumb. Like LOTRO mentioned above (from the same studio), you can buy cosmetic coverups, or make a cosmetic that copies the look of a different item.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_1c1ceec7	comment	A common effect in Monster Hunter with new players, who forge whatever they can afford to increase defense without knowing about skill points. More experienced players equip full sets of armor from a certain monster (which doesn't look tacky) to get the skill points that the monster set gives. Even more experienced players know that, with the right combinations of armor sets, a unique combination of skills can be attained instead of having to go with a pre-made set, but at the cost of looking like a rainbow pimp again.

Because some gear are bought and others are found, it's quite common for Link to look like a Rummage Sale Reject until you can get a complete set of clothes. Since some clothes can give bonuses when you wear at least two pieces from its set, Link will look a bit mismatched if you choose to keep him that way.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 allow you to mix-and-match armor parts to maximize your stats. Some of the armor combinations can look pretty◊ goofy. Before the patch introduced with the PC version of the first game, multiplayer was long dominated by builds combining delicate rapiers and daggers, absurdly huge and heavy armor, nimble ninja backflipping, and comical-looking stat-boosting masks. Among the most (in)famous of these is the Giantdad build (seen here)◊, made of Giant Armor and the Mask of the Father. At least he's somewhat color-coordinated. It was even worse in earlier versions of the game, where the most optimal equipment for the pants slot was a dress skirt. Designing a mixed armor set that is actually meant to look badass, cool, or intentionally hilarious is termed "Fashion Souls" by the community, and is a popular pastime among some players. As time has gone on, Fashion Souls has evolved among some players from a practice to a playstyle, on the logic that if you're truly skilled at Souls games, you can forgo stat optimization entirely and focus only on style. Elden Ring takes it up to the next level in both looking cool and looking completely ridiculous. You don't need to mix-and-match that much to make you look like a clown (sets like the Eccentric's Set, the Malformed Dragon Set, and the Marionette Set will do that for you), and when you bring in clashing shades and styles from pieces of different sets, the sky's the limit on how stupid you can make yourself look.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_2a04866b	comment	In Guild Wars, armor pieces typically have a dye attached to them, but it doesn't unlock a palette to be applied at will and must be purchased and applied separately to every piece. For typical colors, this isn't a problem, but for unusual ones (especially black or white), it could get very expensive — at the height of the game's popularity, you would pay as much as 9 platinum pieces for those dyes. Guild Wars 2 allows you to simply change each armor piece's color at will, but this still only applies to drab default colors, so if you want something more eye-popping, you still need to get dyes.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_2f9563e6	comment	Ultima Online: Downplayed with the introduction of colored ores, which would lead to patchwork colored armor as the player repaired it or picked up looted pieces. It wasn't too big a deal because they were mostly dull in color and mixing and matching metal types conferred no significant benefit; it was just more convenient to use what you could find. This was occasionally inflicted on players by tailors getting creative with the leather dye tub Two Year Veteran reward (especially intentionally bugged 'neon' leather dye tubs). The resulting mismatched clown suit wasn't technically better than any other exceptionally crafted leather set, but it wasn't worse either, so not wearing it after buying it would be a waste.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_3209fad1	comment	Mabinogi makes it possible to completely avert this. There are many different styles of equipment with identical stats, grouped into three categories — clothing, light armour, heavy armour — with weapons and shields being a bit more varied. Combine this with cash shop dyes (which can be used to dye pretty much anything, including weapons), and it's fairly easy to customize colour and style combinations to create any look you want. And shop items change colours randomly, so you can even create stylish and coordinated ensembles just by waiting until the desired colours are available (although you can't get them all this way, and it can take a long time to get there). However, since all gear, whether dropped, crafted, or purchased from NPCs, comes in completely random colour combinations (some of them fairly hideous on their own), and since there are many items which exist solely to look silly (such as the "bald wig" and "tree costume"), it is also possible to play this trope straight to truly epic levels.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_33888a01	comment	The Legend of Drizzt: Jarlaxle is this trope exactly, possibly due to living in a world that is also a Dungeons & Dragons setting. Everything he wears is highly magical and very unique. He almost fits this trope literally, as he wears a color-changing rainbow cloak (it also cycles through ultraviolet!) and a large be-plumed hat that could best be described as pimptastic. Of course, he's probably doing this on purpose, as he's quite flamboyant and is happy with his look. It also makes him quite memorable, which is what he's going for — Jarlaxle's reputation is "He dresses like a goofball, but don't screw with him." It also helps that everything he wears has a perfectly practical use. Even the ridiculous plume on his hat can be used to summon a monster in a pinch.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_39fe00f1	comment	Dragon Age: Inquisition brings it out stronger than previous Dragon Age titles have, thanks to the crafting system. Since the color of a crafted item is based on the materials you used in its construction, it's possible to end up with a scarlet red suit of armor (which, thanks to the game's new design, is a Badass Longcoat instead of plate mail) with bright blue gloves and green boots. This is especially true at high levels, once you've started collecting the best quality materials. A later patch sought to avert this trope by allowing players to recolor their armor to taste.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_3c1f955d	comment	In Yandere Simulator, at one point the best way to play if you want to go around killing people and not be caught is to walk around butt-naked and wield a magical girl wand. The nudity part is there there weren't any special penalties or restrictions in place while being nude, and not wearing clothes means you don't have to go burn them, just wash yourself off. The magical girl wand (a joke weapon) has the unique property of being undetectable to the police, so you don't have to burn it either.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_3f9e415	comment	The Saints Row games have a variant: you can pick colors on just about anything, but you get the most respect from wearing purple colors, which are the primary color of the Saints. You also gain respect for wearing tattoos and piercings. In order to gain the largest respect multiplier in the first game, your character will end up looking like an overdressed piercing fanatic with ink on every square inch of his body and a serious fetish for the color purple. Thankfully, the sequels made it so that you only need to buy these items once in order to get the respect bonuses; you don't have to wear them all simultaneously.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_402686c8	comment	While Unturned doesn't feature equipment with stats, it is a Zombie Apocalypse, Survival Sandbox game where you start off completely naked and your inventory is limited to what you can hold in your hands. While that restriction is still pretty generous, you're going to need clothing to carry more equipment and supplies, and that clothing is going to be pretty damn random, especially since virtually all of it is a shoddy state of repair. Combine that with multiple layers, and you can easily wind up wearing red lumberjack flannel, white scrubs pants, a purple poncho, a green backpack, and a black fedora.

This can lead to things like the parts for a slow, missile-and-chaingun-armed Heavyarms getting a ton of melee buffs, or agile, thin-skinned Hyaku Shiki pieces getting benefits for Stone Wall skills. Anyone who puts together a Gunpla for its stats rather than its aesthetics might end up with interesting results, even when painted cohesively.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_43f52aa9	comment	In Oblivion, on completion of a major quest, the city of Bruma will erect a statue of you in your honor. Your statue will wear the "best" armor and gear that you had in your inventory at that moment, which is not necessarily what you're wearing, and the results can be interesting. In fact, "interesting" doesn't even begin to describe the weird things that can go on with this statue. On one hand, sometimes it equips magical equipment you no longer possess, due in part to a glitch that sometimes gives you magical bonuses for items forcibly taken from your character; on the other hand, if you carry out the insane task of completing the mission while carrying one thousand torches, a one-handed weapon, and no shield, you're rewarded with the sight of your statue wielding a flaming weapon. So if you know how to manipulate the results of the statue, you can make it look like a big-headed dinosaur with a fiery sword. No matter what, though, the NPCs will comment, "You look just like your statue!" Why yes, I do have a dirty great staff implanted right through my arm, thank you for noticing. One bizarre case can have the statue wearing the hood of the Grey Fox, leader of the Thieves Guild and the most infamous criminal in the entire province... and people still don't connect you with the Fox. (Of course, the hood is a divine artifact enchanted to do exactly that.) There's also a certain dagger you get from the Dark Brotherhood called the Blade of Woe, one of the most powerful weapons in the game, but it's pretty small, and a statue heroically lifting a dagger to the sky does not have the intended effect.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft when first released was particularly guilty of this◊ due to its pseudo-cartoony style. Items were designed independently of each other, meaning that it was very easy to build an efficient but stupid-looking clownsuit. However, it was at its worst with the release of the first expansion, dubbed "Outland Clown Syndrome" after the name of the new expansion zone, Outland. Bright colors, tight pants, and stupid hats abounded. The Penny Arcade comic parodying this is, horrifically, only a slight exaggeration. Blizzard got the message, and the gear from the next expansion onwards was designed to mesh well with each other and use more muted colors. Blizzard also later included a feature for players to change the appearance of their gear at will.

Thus it's not uncommon to end a run with a nun's habit, a hideous Harvey Dent-style facial scar, a fez on top of the habit, a lit fuse sticking out of your head, a dead fetus attached to the other side of your face, a dismembered cat tail wrapped around your waist, and creepy protruding eyes. That said, later additions to Rebirth added the Vanity Mirror, which alters your appearance each time you touch it to randomly reflect different items you possess and has no cost, allowing you to run into it until you have a look that you're satisfied with.

Thing is, you get bonus Style points if you wear clothes corresponding to your current suitor's preferred card suit, and the cool-looking outfits you can win from events usually have individual clothing parts that belong to different card suits, which means that instead of wearing these nicely-coordinated outfits, you'll end up wearing a clashing mixture of various outfit parts to get as many Style points as possible. This is slightly mitigated by you having the option to take a snapshot of your current outfit so that other players can see you in a nicely-coordinated outfit instead of whatever bizarre getup you're actually in, but you'll still have to see said bizarre getup on your home screen unless you're willing to go to the trouble of changing outfits every time you play the minigame.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim generally avoids this trope, as it encourages the player to wear a complete set of armor since there are two perks in each of the Heavy and Light Armor skill trees: one that gives defense bonuses for both wearing a full set of heavy/light armor and another that gives a further defense bonus for wearing a full matching set of heavy/light armor. However, since your physical defense is hard-capped and can never go higher than 80% damage reduction, you can use enchantments and potions to boost your Smithing skill to ungodly levels and invoke the trope deliberately by crafting a horribly mismatched set of armor that still manages to get you to the defense cap.

In the late game, you tend to move toward a handful of proper looking unique armor sets (mostly Powered Armor), but low-level player characters are very likely to look like total jackasses. Fallout 4 introduces a few new equipment mechanics that play into this trope in a major way. Firstly, there's now modular armor pieces, meaning you can wear certain clothes underneath individual pieces of leather, metal, combat etc. armor that go on your arms, legs and torso, and you can mix and match said individual pieces however you want. Secondly, any of these individual pieces of armor can drop from legendary enemies with unique effects, and it's entirely luck-dependent if these will match or not. Lastly, a certain sidequest unlocks ballistic weave, which lets you upgrade the defense on certain clothes and hats to a whopping 110 per piece, and this does include clothes that go under the modular armor. What this amounts to is that any single piece outfit with halfway decent stats that might actually look good will always be outperformed by for instance a fedora, a baseball uniform, and mismatched materials of armor pieces on each extremity.

Of course, it's not so much a "mask" as it is a big doofy pair of yellow bunny ears on Link's head that are visible at all angles, and since it can be obtained as soon as the initial three-day cycle is reset, you will get very used to seeing Link with big silly ears on his head. Link's ultimate equipment in this game are an actual rainbow sword (that's almost as big as he is), and the mirror shield which has a screaming face on it for some reason. Combine those with the bunny hood and you get one of the most bizarre looking setups in the series. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has gear that always comes in a set of three pieces (head, body, legs/feet). Because some gear are bought and others are found, it's quite common for Link to look like a Rummage Sale Reject until you can get a complete set of clothes. Since some clothes can give bonuses when you wear at least two pieces from its set, Link will look a bit mismatched if you choose to keep him that way.

When that doesn't happen, it results in models that function perfectly fine (and could even be a masterwork of engineering), but look like a three-year-old came up with it.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_7ba704de	comment	Star Wars: Galaxies averted this. It was unique in that nearly all equipment was fully customizable (since it ran largely on a player-run economy), but it was very difficult to find full sets of armor that were customized in the same way without buying it all at once from an individual or even to wear every piece of a given armor set at once. And without an armor certification system, the armor itself simply drained some of your other stats while equipped, which could outright preclude you from equipping other matching armor. Many players never wore armor at all, opting for the robust clothing options instead. The game has... changed a bit over the years, to say the least.

However, the game averts this trope entirely by allowing you to customize the look of any given armor piece to anything you've unlocked (which is unlocked once you've obtained it) allowing the best of both worlds.

Players with a subscription or who pay a fee can unlock an option to match all of their gear to the palette of their chestpiece equipment. This trope is still played straight for players who are free to play, presumably as incentive to change that. Unfortunately, the cutscene engine currently ignores color matching and even dye modules in many cases, so the character or their companions sometimes appear in their original mismatched ensembles. The addition of the Outfit Designer allows you to put together an outfit (or several) for purely cosmetic purposes while your stats are based on your original gear, even allowing you to incorporate pieces of gear you otherwise wouldn't be able to equip in your look (such as a Jedi Sage who wears heavy armor or an Imperial Agent who walks around in full Sith gear).

"Hybrid" or "tribrid" gear for players who wish to use or defend against multiple styles of combat (melee, projectile, and magical) without changing armour will almost always look absurd. Wearing a robe skirt, leather body armor, metal boots and gauntlets, a visored helmet, and a backpack with a chicken in it — while wielding a salamander — is optimized gear for certain activities. The developers tried to fix it by introducing dyes, but they don't work on metal or leather. They tried to fix it again with the introduction of Solomon's General Store, which offers a sizable number of cosmetic ensembles as well as the Dragon Keepsake Keys, which allow the player to use equipment as a cosmetic covering, but cosmetic gear still won't work in Player vs. Player areas like the Wilderness.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_8ec33a86	comment	In Xenoblade Chronicles 1 every piece of armor has an effect on characters' appearance. They're divided into Head, Top, Bottom, Gloves, and Legwear, and that level mixing-and-matching can cause some... odd combinations. (Combining Heavy torso armor with light bottoms is particularly jarring, especially if said bottom is a bikini.) And naturally, you will have to do this to maximize stats. And the best part is that the characters keep their armor in cutscenes, so you can ruin dramatic scenes with ridiculous outfits for your amusement. The Definitive Edition Updated Re-release allows the player to avoid this (or make it worse) by keeping a running catalogue of every piece of equipment ever obtained, which can be freely used as a cosmetic override for any armor or weapon slot (with the exception of the Sword of Plot Advancement).

For instance, a leather kilt is better than cotton pants as warrior gear despite covering less, but iron armor is predictably more effective than a shirt, so a warrior may have substantial upper-body coverage and bare lower legs. And it's really easy to obtain the "Gooey Gear" early in the game, which has great defensive stats at that point but looks completely ridiculous (it's literally a stack of brightly-colored slimes).

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind can reach ridiculous levels. Each piece of equipment is separate (with the exception of boots, which are always worn as a pair) so it's possible to wear mismatched gloves and pauldrons over a different style of cuirass with yet another different style of greaves over pants, under a skirt, under a robe... The "magical sheen" from the enchantment effect is also not very subtle, so if any of your equipment is enchanted, it will vibrantly glow as well. In Oblivion, on completion of a major quest, the city of Bruma will erect a statue of you in your honor. Your statue will wear the "best" armor and gear that you had in your inventory at that moment, which is not necessarily what you're wearing, and the results can be interesting. In fact, "interesting" doesn't even begin to describe the weird things that can go on with this statue. On one hand, sometimes it equips magical equipment you no longer possess, due in part to a glitch that sometimes gives you magical bonuses for items forcibly taken from your character; on the other hand, if you carry out the insane task of completing the mission while carrying one thousand torches, a one-handed weapon, and no shield, you're rewarded with the sight of your statue wielding a flaming weapon. So if you know how to manipulate the results of the statue, you can make it look like a big-headed dinosaur with a fiery sword. No matter what, though, the NPCs will comment, "You look just like your statue!" Why yes, I do have a dirty great staff implanted right through my arm, thank you for noticing. One bizarre case can have the statue wearing the hood of the Grey Fox, leader of the Thieves Guild and the most infamous criminal in the entire province... and people still don't connect you with the Fox. (Of course, the hood is a divine artifact enchanted to do exactly that.) There's also a certain dagger you get from the Dark Brotherhood called the Blade of Woe, one of the most powerful weapons in the game, but it's pretty small, and a statue heroically lifting a dagger to the sky does not have the intended effect. Skyrim generally avoids this trope, as it encourages the player to wear a complete set of armor since there are two perks in each of the Heavy and Light Armor skill trees: one that gives defense bonuses for both wearing a full set of heavy/light armor and another that gives a further defense bonus for wearing a full matching set of heavy/light armor. However, since your physical defense is hard-capped and can never go higher than 80% damage reduction, you can use enchantments and potions to boost your Smithing skill to ungodly levels and invoke the trope deliberately by crafting a horribly mismatched set of armor that still manages to get you to the defense cap.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_a81325d3	comment	It happens in the Final Fantasy MMORPGs, Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV. In XI, it's not quite as bad as you'll often find in an MMORPG, but this is an example of a paladin in good enmity gear for the time◊ — not pretty. Of course, if you want to look good if you're just dicking around your home nation, you can always just wear event gear till it's time to fight. In XIV, equipment can't be (re)dyed until you hit level 15 in at least one class. Be prepared to have a mismatching wardrobe for a little while, as the colour of equipment from quest rewards and vendors is random. Even after dying is unlocked, there are just some combos of clothes that aren't gonna look good together, even if the colors match. Later on, you gain the ability to cast Glamours on your equipment, changing the appearance into that of other pieces of equipment, allowing you to make any armor match. The developers have since taken note of the trope in Heavensward, where all the gear you can buy from vendors has a visual theme going on and looks quite good if you buy the whole set. Of course, the trope rears its ugly head due to players either not keeping all their gear up to date or are mixing and matching for the sake of optimal stats. This has since been even further averted in Stormblood, where players can now set glamours on their gear starting at level 15. The system was revamped once more in patch 4.2 to include glamour storage, which the developers hoped would finally put the whole Rainbow Pimp Gear trope to rest.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_b4996199	comment	In one Spider-Man story, third-rate villain the Looter steals the equipment of several other villains from a government impound vault and commits crimes using a mishmash of their costumes — Unicorn's helmet, the Shocker's left gauntlet, the Mauler's right one, the Trapster's vest (with paste gun), and Stilt-Man's telescoping legs (with the rest of his costume his own). He's able to accumulate a great deal of loot robbing banks this way, but he looks ridiculous, and Spidey still trounces him.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_b5a2b326	comment	Morrowind can reach ridiculous levels. Each piece of equipment is separate (with the exception of boots, which are always worn as a pair) so it's possible to wear mismatched gloves and pauldrons over a different style of cuirass with yet another different style of greaves over pants, under a skirt, under a robe... The "magical sheen" from the enchantment effect is also not very subtle, so if any of your equipment is enchanted, it will vibrantly glow as well.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_ba666650	comment	Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a prolific source of memes among Japanese fans who enjoy combining Big Boss's shirtless uniform (or occasionally his Ga-Ko uniform, which is printed with kawaii-style ducks) with his Monkey Mask and Torch. This gives him a lot of protection against dogs (they ignore him in the Monkey Mask and the smoke from the Torch irritates their sensitive noses) but looks absolutely stupid. Meanwhile, the infinite ammo face paint needs no explanation of why it's good to leave on at all times, but the pattern is redundant kanji graffiti covering Big Boss' entire face from forehead to chin, which looks rather silly.

Of course, it's not so much a "mask" as it is a big doofy pair of yellow bunny ears on Link's head that are visible at all angles, and since it can be obtained as soon as the initial three-day cycle is reset, you will get very used to seeing Link with big silly ears on his head. Link's ultimate equipment in this game are an actual rainbow sword (that's almost as big as he is), and the mirror shield which has a screaming face on it for some reason. Combine those with the bunny hood and you get one of the most bizarre looking setups in the series.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_bfb483af	comment	The Splatoon series has abilities wholly tied to clothing, with each piece of clothing being able to have a maximum of four ability slots: one main ability, and up to three sub-abilities that are decided at random as the gear is leveled up. Despite this, the games actually avert this trope as long as the player is willing to grind for a bit. In the first game, while the main ability is specific to each piece of gear and can never be changed, you can "re-roll" the sub-ability slots for different abilities, meaning you can usually get matching clothing with a great set of stats. Splatoon 2 introduced ability chunks, which are gained from "scrubbing" your gear or purchasing them directly from the Deepsea Metro vending machine, and can be used to more easily customize your sub-abilities exactly how you want them on top of the "re-roll" mechanic. While you still can't alter the main ability yourself, you can find gear with an alternate main ability through playing Salmon Run, using the real-world SplatNet app, or even just checking the usual in-game shops. Splatoon 3 allows you to change the main ability in addition to all of the above, though it naturally requires more ability chunks than it does to swap out sub-abilities.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2 is infamous for the disparity in art style between the game's release and every subsequent update. Wearable cosmetic items (or simply "hats") can be combined to personalize players, creating vaguely themed costumes. Alternatively, a player can also end up as an incomprehensibly gaudy mess, be it accidental ("I unlocked Pink as Hell from this crate and by Gabe, I will wear it even if it doesn't match anything!"), to be purposely obnoxious ("Why, yes, all of my custom-colored items clash, but that just makes me the rich motherfucker who can afford to!"), as a Badass Boast ("Look at all this eye-blinding lime I'm wearing and you still can't hit me!"), or some combination thereof. The game also includes "unusual hats", or cosmetics blessed with incredibly rare particle effects, which often exacerbates the issue. There are a few particularly infamous getups: The "Demopan" is a Demoman wearing a pirate hat with a little treasure chest on top, reflective shutter shades, a medieval spiked buckler, and a frying pan. The "Gibusvision" is a player (of any class) wearing a crumpled old top hat with a hanging toy ghost, a set of clunky gray goggles (which makes you see the world as a cute pastel land), and rarely, a bronze recruitment emblem. All aforementioned items are the only ones that are available for free. Hence, most players who wear them are usually considered "clueless newbies" or pretending to be them.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_c19c6efa	comment	It happens in Minecraft, although less because of stats and more because of what you can afford: If you've started mining iron but don't have enough for a full set of armor, you might find yourself wearing some iron pieces and some leather pieces. The various armor bits clash not only with each other but also with whatever outfit your player skin was drawn wearing. Most texture packs only exaggerate this trope further by giving each armor set a unique look. You can end up looking particularly stupid if you wear a Pumpkin (to avoid making Endermen hostile when you look at them), Turtle Shell (to increase the time you can spend underwater), or Elytra (wings that let you glide). Once you start getting armor items through mods, which can grant useful abilities and are one-to-a-set, you get things like the odd-looking jetpack, backpack, and solar helmet (added by IndustrialCraft) or the various garishly-coloured magical armour items (and capes and gloves) found in the Aether.

He's effectively wearing over forty entads at once, without having to look ridiculous or risk losing them. Alfric gets his hands on an amulet that defies this as soon as he can, which changes the look of all gear currently on to fit a singular ostentatious style. The problem being that this style doesn't look very good on him, according to his party-mates. It's noted that this is a problem that most adventurers suffer from, because their gear is generated by different dungeons and therefore has very different visual styles, and altering the way entads look is incredibly expensive.

Each article of clothing is awarded a certain number of "hotness" points, based on how rare and expensive it is, and players may engage in "showdowns" with NPCs to compare how hot their outfits are. Unfortunately, to max out your hotness points in any given style of clothing, you'll probably end up wearing a yellow minidress with a purple cardigan, silver tights, grey leg warmers, white socks, blue shoes, pink earrings, gold bracelets, a green necklace, and carrying an orange purse. While absolutely no one would ever even begin to think such an outfit is remotely "hot" or fashionable in any context, the game awards far more points to this than to a simple, coordinated outfit that actually looks good to a human observer.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_d2bb929d	comment	Soul Series: In Soul Calibur 3, your character's good/evil and cheerful/gloomy stats are assigned via clothing options. This often meant that if you don't want to look stupid, you'd need to hide extra garments underneath your chosen costume to get the alignment you want. Both Soul Calibur 3 and 4 produced pretty much exclusively this kind of character in their Character Creation mode. While you can always play "Standard" mode, where clothing and weapon effects don't count, if you want to do well in other modes, you're pretty much forced to play with either the bastard child of Lady Gaga and a Silver Age superhero or a generic heavily-armored knight. The color slider can help alleviate this problem somewhat, but it doesn't work in every case. Thankfully, by Soul Calibur V, your choice of outfit is now purely aesthetic (but you can still do the Rainbow Pimp Gear if you want).

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_d4e454e6	comment	Dofus only has three visible pieces of equipment (with the weapon also showing, but only when it's used): hat, cloak, and pet/mount. A character is also allowed to customize their own colors, but only at character creation or for a small real-money fee. These colors, combined with armor that stands out very starkly and tends to be rather absurd (a popular early hat is basically a severed sheep's head with the tongue still hanging out), means that the odds of your character not looking stupid are very low. Of course, anyone going into Dofus intending to look badass is playing the wrong game. Ankama's followup game Wakfu continued the trend of embracing the silly suits but expanded the visibility slots. Now your starter character will be wearing sheep heads all over, with selection of black or white colours, even. Until he levels up a bit and crafts an eye-tearing amalgamation of variously coloured Piwi (tiny chicken/peacock-like bird) sets. On the flip side, there are fashionably designed Costume items, which overwrite appearance of all your other gear and higher-level complete sets of normal gear are not too bad either.

Getting the best stats for a creature requires some unusual combinations of clothing, but the game's built-in colour-coordination and ability to move and size the items generally averts total ugliness. Still, it's tricky when you find that your badass warlike tribespeople absolutely need cowboy hats. One method for dealing with that is to make it as small as possible and try to hide under something else. If you can't enjoy playing the rest of the game with your people wearing cowboy hats for no reason other than tradition. In the Creature phase, it can happen with body parts, particularly for a "social" species — and they're acquired randomly.

Some make sense, such as all platinum gear. Others don't, such as boxer shorts, a pot lid shield, and nothing else. Thankfully, the game doesn't show the armor changes, but it's pretty funny to imagine the latter getup on Carver, who already wanders around half-naked. Dragon Quest IX has it bad thanks to its widely varying equipment styles and occasionally counterintuitive bonuses. For instance, a leather kilt is better than cotton pants as warrior gear despite covering less, but iron armor is predictably more effective than a shirt, so a warrior may have substantial upper-body coverage and bare lower legs. And it's really easy to obtain the "Gooey Gear" early in the game, which has great defensive stats at that point but looks completely ridiculous (it's literally a stack of brightly-colored slimes).

Lampshaded in the web novel by describing his character as moving like a "rainbow-colored blur" during a duel, though Subverted when Ye Xiu later straightens this out for Lord Grim.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_eddc4ca3	comment	Hogwarts Legacy has loot in the form of clothing. These range from reasonable everyday outfits to bizarre stuff like pajamas and metal face masks worn by asylum patients. Since these raise your attack and defense, you'll look like you survived an explosion at a clothing store. This is especially noticeable on school grounds, where every other student is wearing their normal school outfit. Thankfully, you can transmog your gear at any time.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_ee384546	comment	Cyberpunk 2077: Formerly in full effect. When the game launched, there were no cosmetic slots to wear whatever the player desires without impacting their armor value. This is somewhat mitigated though by the people around you being equally as mismatched. Weapons are not exempt, the best examples being the Cocktail Stirrer and the Kongou, powerful Iconic weapons, the former being a completely hot pink katana, the latter being a Liberty with a silver finish and neon pink accents. Partially averted in a later patch; there are 'oversuits' that override the appearance of all the clothing but the hat and face, although not many of them. V starts with 'bare chest, bloody bandages, sweatpants', and later can find netrunner suits and hazmat suits, all only cosmetic in effect. Averted fully in the 1.6 patch, which introduced a transmog system that's available in V's apartment and safehouses, using your closet to make up to six different outfits based on gear you have picked up at one point with the current character, regardless of whether or not you still have it in your possession. Even further averted in the 2.0 patch, which made clothes purely cosmetic while V's armor values are instead determined by cyberware.

Several of his later upgrades and techniques have similar problems —very strong, but looking humiliatingly terrible.

You can grab clothes and costumes off shelves and equip them, often to no effect whatsoever, and Frank will wear them during cutscenes. Does this◊ look like a man to be trifled with?

You can obtain chainmail from a human skeleton, a bronze dwarven shield, some old magical elven boots, a winged helmet that belonged to an Elf Lord, and the gauntlets of a Chaos Warrior.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_f41d2302	comment	Dragon Ball Xenoverse suffered from this, as players seeking out the best stats will probably be forced to mix and match different outfits just to get the right sort of boost. You could get something mundane, like wearing Vegeta's gloves with Goku's various gis, or you could be prancing around in Raditz or Nappa's speedo while wearing Dragon Ball GT Trunks' shirt and jacket. This got averted in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which added the QQ Bang items, which allowed you to combine two different sets of outfits (and a random item if you like) and create a random stat mod for your use, so if you have a good QQ Bang Soul you like, you can wear anything you wish and the Soul will overwrite the stats of the outfits.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_f46eaff1	comment	Gogo Sentai Boukenger and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive each had an episode where the Red Ranger was afflicted with bad luck, so his teammates each loan him a lucky charm — and he wears all of them into battle over his powersuit, causing the bad guys to stop in their tracks and burst out laughing. And each show uses a different assortment of charms, so that's two sets of ridiculous outfits. Then to add insult to injury, Boukenger has the series' gratuitous explosions set the charms on fire.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_f69d81fc	comment	Vindictus, prequel to Mabinogi, plays this trope very straight. All equips drop or are crafted, and they come in fairly random colours. Mix-and-match outfits are discouraged by the bonuses provided when wearing a complete set, but matching colours is a lot more challenging. Unlike most other MMORPGs, especially other Nexon games, there is no provision for choosing colours. There is a function to "dye" all equips, including weapons, but it is purely random and costs a considerable amount of in-game currency for higher-level gear. Fortunately, the colour palette for each type of armour or weapon is very small, so there are limits on how clownish you can end up looking. With later updates, cash shop dyes were released that allow for more control over colour and create much brighter colours. This means that along with players creating some very coordinated and flashy sets of gear, others deliberately go for the insanely clownish look. That still didn't eliminate some armour sets, especially at high levels, that look pretty clownish all on their own.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: You can do this with spaceships. While the Gummi ship editor is clearly designed with creativity in mind, more often than not you won't have matching blocks to pull off a specific design. Similarly, a Gummi's HP is directly proportional to the number of blocks it has, so it's considered practical to turn your Gummi ship into a literal Flying Brick with mismatched blocks, tons of guns on the front, and a massive engine in the back. If you choose to go with the A.I. Breaker tactic, replace the Flying Brick with a giant flying donut. Some Keyblade designs themselves can verge on this at times, being the only things that avert No Cutscene Inventory Inertia. Sure, Keyblades beyond the one you'll start out with will have vastly better stats, but they can occasionally make cutscenes look unintentionally narmish when Sora has something like Decisive Pumpkin◊ equipped.note And that particular one dishes out the highest physical damage in the game, so you'll see it more often than you think. The numerous Blade Lock cutscenes throughout the series have a tendency to look weird with very short Keyblades and cause clipping issues with long or bulky ones. Birth by Sleep arguably has the worst case of this: one of the most powerful Keyblades you can obtain is the Sweetstack, which is basically a Lethal Joke Item made entirely out of ice cream.

Rainbow Pimp Gear / int_f891a20d	comment	Terraria and Starbound both have methods to avert this, allowing players to wear gear over their actual armor for cosmetic purposes. Both also have methods to show a character's default starter outfit instead. For Terraria, since the starting clothing doesn't exist as actual items, you have to obtain "familiar" clothing that simply renders your armorless appearance. Starbound makes it easier by making your starting clothes actual items you can wear over your real armor, but the tradeoff is no equivalent starting headwear, forcing you to wear some other hat or helm instead of appearing bare-headed. Terraria's accessories play it straight, though, as many of them are visible and do not always mesh well with an otherwise good-looking outfit or armor set (or each other for that matter), but there is a vanity and dye slot next to the accessory so you can recolor the accessory or override it with a better-looking one.
