Anyone who's familiar with more than one Mons Series has probably noticed at least one primary thing about them: Overwhelmingly, they tend to be combat-oriented. Sure, there's the occasional Pet Interface among them, but even then, outside of the friendly virtual-pet interface, monsters like to fight each other. Someone at Koei must have looked at this, and thought, "Well, why do monsters have to do bodily harm to each other to be fun? How about monsters who engage in some healthy competition, like, say... racing?"As you might've gleaned from the title, the 2010 Nintendo DS game Monster Racers is exactly that. A monster-raising game where, instead of fighting each other, monsters engage in friendly races with one another. The game combines the monster-catching and stat-building of the Mons genre with two-dimensional, Platformer-style races. Not only does it buck the turn-based RPG trend, it also does away with convention by being set in the real world (well, "real"). The presence of strange monsters is explained (sort of) by the fact that, a few years ago, a random, star-shaped island appeared in the Pacific Ocean, and shortly after it appeared, monsters that love racing each other started appearing on all the continents.One thing that isn't unfamiliar, however: You play as a young boy or girl on a quest to become the world's greatest monster racer. That quest will take you not only to Star Island, but all around the world, from the Australian Outback to Mt. Fuji and beyond. On your quest, you'll take on the Star Seven—the greatest racers from each continent—and maybe a few villains as well. Good luck with that!Not to be confused with Monster Racer, a mascot racer, or Monster Rancher, which is a simulation series. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: This is a power you as the player actually have. You can give your monsters "Monster Orbs," which allow them to change color. The more orbs you give them, the more dramatically you can change their colors. It also helps unlock new skills, as a bonus. And let's not forget Exotic monsters! Exotic monsters are essentially this game's version of Shinies- they literally are palette swaps, they're significantly harder to find (and harder to befriend, too), and using Monster Orbs, while increasing their loyalty, doesn't change their palette. They also get a significantly cooler encounter theme. | |

Hyperactive Metabolism: Er, sort of. You do feed your monster crackers in order to heal them. However, monsters' health isn't measured by actual health, but rather Will, or determination to race. So although you feed them to "heal" them, you're really just helping them stay motivated. | |

Elemental Powers | |

Elemental Powers: Done in a different fashion from most, in that a monster's elemental powers factor in what surfaces they're best at running over. So fire-type monsters can run on lava without taking damage, and water-type ones can swim at full speed. | |

Infinity +1 Element: In a way, the Hover ability. It grants immunity to all terrain types, though it doesn't provide any bonuses the way the regular Elemental Powers do. | |

| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_b9d334b2 | comment |
Aerith and Bob: Unavoidable, given the international nature of the cast. The main group of kids includes Misaki, Gen, and Zoltan, with enemies Rosalita and Don Jung. Oddly, the Star Seven all have very Western names, including Japanese Edwin...except for Tatanya. | |

Playable Epilogue: Wondered about those strange altars scattered across the globe, in all the various dungeons you visited? Of course you did! Once you beat the game, a whole new story arc opens up where you can explore them all to meet the game's Olympus Mons. | |

Land Downunder | |
| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_bc536406 | comment |
Land Downunder: Oceania is your first, non-Star Island destination. It features monsters based on Aussie wildlife, and you can visit landmarks like Ayers Rock, a rainforest, and the Great Barrier Reef. Special mention must be made of Bruce, a man so Australian he sweats Fosters and bleeds Vegimite. Most of his dialogue is nigh-on incomprehensible. | |

Global Currency | |
| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_c57b21f9 | comment |
Global Currency: Since the game is set in our world, the game attempts to avert this: The only place to spend money is on Star Island, and in the different fields, you can only ever get Shop Fodder from other racers or in treasure chests. This, of course, all breaks down in the races, since every racetrack, no matter where it's located, is littered with Star Island's currency, Uni. | |

Post-Final Boss | |
| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_d58d2b7e | comment |
Post-Final Boss: Misaki. The previous boss fight is against three of the toughest racers in the game all at once, on a battlefield filled with ups, downs, and lava, and their monsters have absolutely brutal skills and turbos. By comparison, even though Misaki has a legendary monster, the battlefield is relatively mundane, and has an easy-to-run-on surface. You also only have to race one person at a time. | |

Lethal Lava Land: Star Caves, which is actually one of the earlier dungeons. The lava courses can be quite tricky unless you choose Phoechick as your starting mon, since fire types are difficult to come by early on. There's also ones in Russia and Mt. Etna. | |

Bait-and-Switch Boss | |
| Monster Racers (Video Game) / int_da03a529 | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Boss: Done three times for the final boss: At first, from a storyline perspective, it seems obvious that it's Elder Aku, and indeed, said does appear to you after you beat the gauntlet of Recurring Bosses he set up for you... but then the camera pans away to reveal the True Final Boss... Professor Olaf! Except that the professor just bungled in there, and the real final boss is actually Misaki! Surprise! Played with some more in the post-game content, when it turns out the two fake bosses actually are even harder bosses. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight: Your first fight against Reinhart. What did you expect when you challenged the World Champion near the very start of your career, anyway?
