You Break It, You Profit: At the end of the race, you're given money based on how much damage you did to the track. Doing damage during the race also restores your supply of nitro - the more damage you do, the more nitro you receive. | |

Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The snow tracks in the first game, with their reduced traction, fit the standard racing game variant of the trope. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| FlatOut (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: In the later races of FlatOut 2, some of the drivers are noticeably faster than the cars that they are using have any right to be. Even if the player is using the same exact car and have it fully upgraded, they will still be outrun quite easily and quite substantially at that. Sofia Martinez and Jack Benton are perhaps the most glaring of these. Ultimate Carnage features a catch up boost system that makes certain the AI is always right on your tail, to increase the challenge for pro racers. This is made readily apparent in some tracks where the pack will actually teleport ALL the cars up behind you if you're performing too well, too fast. This is rare, however, and there are even times where you can lap some of the slower characters. But you can still imagine the horror when you suddenly see eleven cars appear from nowhere on the minimap behind you, and uncluster as they come after you. The Night Shift mode of FlatOut 3 takes place on a rainy, foggy night, limiting the player's visibility and grip. Your AI opponent, however, has no such difficulties, and can take turns significantly faster than you can. Subverted in FlatOut 3's demolition derby modes. The AI will continuously gang up on the player, who more often than not will get dogpiled into a corner, unable to move. However, because you earn points for collisions even if you're not the one that initiated them, and the game ends when you're wrecked, you can easily win or come close to winning with very little effort. | |

Ragdoll Physics | |
| FlatOut (Video Game) / int_6fc40689 | comment |
Ragdoll Physics: Exaggerated. Every time you crash, you're treated to a slow-mo cutscene of your driver getting thrown from the car. And on top of that, there are a whole selection of minigames that involve intentionally ejecting the driver to see how far or how accurately you can toss him. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In 2, Ultimate Carnage, and Head On; every driver has a specific color applying to each driver's car & HUD arrow. The last four drivers only appeared in Ultimate Carnage. Jack Benton: Yellow Sofia Martinez: Silver Jason Walker: Black car color with flame decals, Pale Black HUD color Sally Taylor: White car color, Light Pink HUD colornote This is done to avoid confusion with the player's HUD color (white) Katie Jackson: Red Frank Malcov: Blue Ray Carter: Cyan Jill Richards: Hot Pink Lei Bing: Maroon/Dark Red Lewis Duran: Brown Curtis Wolfe: Black & White car color, Black HUD color | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| FlatOut (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Exaggerated in some of FlatOut 3's game modes. In regular races, the AI rarely bothers to brake and ends up ricocheting off every wall in sight; in demolition derbies, the AI single-mindedly gangs up on you, invariably resulting in a massive burning dogpile in one corner of the map; and in one game mode, where the objective is to be the first to collect 40 barrels, the AI cars don't even try to compete with you and just sit there driving in circles. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| FlatOut (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Flatmobile of FlatOut 2 is so comically fast that any typical player simply cannot control it. However, said acceleration is equally reciprocated in its brakes, and at sane speeds it can out-handle any vehicle in the game. In the hands of a truly skilled gamer, no other vehicle can possibly compete, even in the infamous destruction derbies. | |

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing | |
| FlatOut (Video Game) / int_d9f97805 | comment |
Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: The AI in FlatOut 3's demolition derby modes relentlessly gangs up on the player, usually resulting in them being pinned against a wall by a mass of cars, but the scoring system doesn't take into account who initiates a collision, and the winner is the driver with the most points rather than the last driver standing. It's entirely possible to just sit there, let the AI pummel you into submission, and still win. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Considering there is a lot of crashing, of course everyone would be this. Special mention goes to Malcov in FlatOut 2 races. He is incredibly fast on pure pace despite having a habit of choosing the slowest and biggest cars of the first tier cars of each class; however, his driving style is so erratic, most of the time, he will finish dead last because he crashed onto pretty much everything on the track. | |
