Merry Gear Solid is a fan-made freeware game Affectionate Parody of the Metal Gear series and Christmas Specials of all kinds, by the creator of The Underside. There are two games: Merry Gear Solid, in which you play as Saint Nick, codenamed "Solid Santa," during his mission to sneak into 14015 Hideo Drive to deliver presents. At the end, he is killed by Solid Snake, mistaking him for "Big Beard." Merry Gear Solid 2: Ghosts of Christmas Past, in which you play as Old—er, Cold Snake during his mission to infiltrate Outer Savin' Mall. Merry Gear Solid 3: The Dead Of Winter has been announced... Or should we say, Merry Fear Solid? | |

| Merry Gear Solid (Video Game) / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: How most of the items work. Otacon makes up some reason why something would work the way it does; for example, the toast can be used to un-jam the radar because the mold on the toast absorbs jam. | |

Stealth Pun: The "Holid Eye" gadget works by filtering out the "sad blues and greens" of Christmasses past to (somehow) grant you infrared vision — Otacon all but says "rose-tinted glasses". | |

The Hero Dies: Snake kills Santa at the end of the first game, mistaking him for Big Boss' twin brother. Then Merry Gear Solid 2 reveals that Santa was Faking the Dead as part of his own plan to stop Tragic Tim. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Merry Gear Solid (Video Game) / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Invoked by Otacon to power some of the items. Used fairly disturbingly when explaining why the Missiletoe Launcher (missiles with giant lips on the end) doesn't kill the kids. Santa and his family only exist when people believe in them. Tragic Tim uses this to kill Nick Junior. | |

Talking to Himself | |
| Merry Gear Solid (Video Game) / int_6e7256ac | comment |
Talking to Himself: As all the voice work in the first game was done by a single person (except for the naughty children, who were voiced by the main programmer of the game), this was inevitable. Avoided in the second game due to the addition of five more voice actors, and though he voices a lot of characters once more, they never interact. | |

It Runs on Nonsensoleum: A lot of your gear has really screwy explanations for why they work, like the gift box that you can use to hide in (the kids you're hiding from will ignore it because "it's full of bombs") or the "See's Candy Cane" that lets you see invisible laser tripwires, or the aforementioned Missiletoe Launcher. | |

Retraux: The graphics and overall style are roughly SNES-level, except for the voice acting. Judging by the trailer for Merry Gear Solid 3, the series has moved up a bit to parody PS1-era graphics with Metal Gear Solid 4's free camera system. | |

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Santa Claus has the power of Christmas Spirit... which is limited to turning on TVs with his mind. Once. Fortunately, in a stealth game the power is at least somewhat useful. Especially since it's a stealth game where all your opponents are small, easily distracted children. | |

| Merry Gear Solid (Video Game) / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: It is retroactively revealed, during the events of the first game, Tragic Tim tired to trap Santa in order to torture him for the last code for the Merry Gear. However, Santa knew about Tim's plan. As such, Saint Nick created the Big Beard story in order to have Snake assassinate him. However, he survived the bullet in the head to Snake's heart believing Santa must be alive. As such, Tim formed the Ghost of Christmas Past with Jack Frost and Nick Junior. However, he intended to kill both of them so he could become Father Christmas. The Ghosts of Christmas Past threaten to use Santa's Hat to turn all the world's children naughty unless they got Santa's brain so they can obtain the last passcode, leading to the events Merry Gear Solid 2. However, Santa manipulated Solid Snake into stopping Tragic Tim. To top it all off, Scrooge and the mysterious Ha He Ho Ho Ho have Out-Gambitted everyone else in order to obtain control over the Merry Gear Solid for reasons yet unknown. | |
