Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })SkyGunner is a PlayStation 2 shooter with Flight Simulation elements, released by Atlus, taking place in a Steampunk-like world where everyone, oddly enough, has ponytail... er, tails.The game stars three "Gunners" (pilot mercenaries for hire): Ciel (a happy-go-lucky Gunner), Copain (Ciel's best friend, a very "Let's get 'em!" kind of guy), and Femme (a hired pilot from out of town, come to guard the Expo). They are stationed in the island town of Rive, where an exhibition is about to take place. The exhibition is for the "Eternal Engine," an engine of infinite power. Of course, someone just has to screw up the whole thing and that someone is the criminal genius, Ventre. He's plotting to steal the Eternal Engine for himself, and Hardi, the chief of police, dispatches the Gunners to stop him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Each character is armed with a pair of machine guns (that shoot... money??) and also have his or her own aircraft, special ability, attributes, and even difficulty (Ciel is Normal Mode, Copain is Difficult/Hard Mode, and Femme is Easy Mode). Selecting a Gunner takes you through his/her side of the story, often teaming up with all three characters is some stages in races to see who gets the most cash from taking down everything from small ships to big hulking mecha and battleships. Cue many, many explosions. And it's entirely done in anime-style.Something not many people know: EasyGameStation made a game called Gunner's Heart that acts as a slightly downgraded PC port of the game, with more rudimentary cutscenes, but with the plot and characters completely unaltered from the PS2 original.

comment
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Played straight if you take too long defeating Vainqueur in Scene 5. If not, this is subverted, as the heroes spot Ventre's overcrowded battleship attempting to escape and pursue it... which then leads to a double subversion where Ciel says that Ventre should have learned his lesson by now and lets Ventre off the hook. Ventre agrees that it's time for him to take a vacation after his final defeat.

Spectacular Spinning: Copain's Vortex special maneuver. Spin Attack: And if Copain is flying at high enough velocities, the vacuum generated by Vortex will suck in enemy fighters not in the direct path of his attack. Spin to Deflect Stuff: With but a few exceptions, Copain and his Chevalier are invincible for the duration of Vortex.

comment
Glass Cannon: Rival's weapon power (ranked S) and speed are very high, but his aircraft's defense is the lowest of all the characters (ranked D). Copain also qualifies, albeit with more room for debate. His plane has average firepower (ranked B), but his Vortex and Pumpkin Bombs more than make up for it; unfortunately, his durability rating is a slightly subpar C.

Gratuitous French: The game's chock full of it, not in the dialog but in the setting, as nearly every aspect of the game has a French name, including the pilots themselves. Bilingual Bonus boosts this to rather funny moments when you realize what Grand Magasin (the Airborne Aircraft Carrier the last main-story stage is set over) means, for example. note Department Store, for those curious.

Degraded Boss
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_3babae20
comment
Degraded Boss: The arrival of Ventre's twin battleships, Gauche and Droite, above the Merveilleux is treated as a moment of great drama and signals the climax of Scene 1. Battleships of a similar design will continue to appear during the huge brawls in most subsequent Scenes with no fanfare, but thankfully come with pre-exposed engine rooms. The Baleine and Dorado battleships also receive this treatment, each being the focus of Ciel's personal objectives in Scenes 2 and 4. Their subsequent appearances likewise go totally unremarked.

Overheating
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_3e7cad99
comment
Overheating: Using optional weapons and special maneuvers causes the heat meter (your plane's temperature gauge) to rise. Use too many at once without spacing between your actions and your aircraft will overheat, preventing you from firing any weapons besides your main guns, using special maneuvers, or boosting as you wait to cool down.

Smashing Survival: Played straight with Dog Missiles or Poulets that latch onto you. Additionally, you're required to mash buttons if you want your ship to recover from stalling out. This costs more money the longer it goes on and the amount of mashing needed increases each time your ship goes critical.

Gameplay Grading: Done at the very end of the game. The ranks normally go from E to S, although you need to essentially have a (near-)flawless run to attain SS. Ranking is determined by various factors: number of enemies shot down, fulfilling certain criteria in each chapter, the amount of times you crashed, and total prize money.

Ventre belts out a glorious one on occasion (during a few cutscenes and should the player fail at stopping his plans, such as allowing Ventre to tow away the Merveilleux or failing to protect the cargo planes in Scene 2). He gets the "laughter turns into crying" subversion if the player manages to capture him in Scene 5.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The game lampshades your recovery from a free fall as an act only achievable from your faith. In reality, it's because you mashed all of the buttons fast enough.

Charged Attack: The Lock-On feature for all of the optional weapons works this way, allowing the player to send off more of their ammo at once for more spectacular results at the cost of filling up the heat meter at a brisker pace. Special mention goes to the Cross, which goes from 1-3 smaller cross missiles fired simultaneously to a huge honking singular missile with a lot more boom for the buck at Max Lock.

The Smurfette Principle
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_5d753b19
comment
The Smurfette Principle: Femme is the only playable female Gunner, and in fact, the only (named) female character in the entire game. Her name is, of course, French for "woman." note If the Expo ball on the Mervellieux is any indication, there are other females in Rive (Femme hails from a neighboring town, Neju). They're just not important.

 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_5f7076ad
comment
Helping Would Be Kill Stealing: Inverted. While the other Gunners are usually off doing their own thing (which means that the brunt of the work—at least when it comes to dealing with enemy fighters—falls to the player), they can and will jump in to help out if the player is lagging behind in their duties. However, this can impede upon any potential monetary gains (ex. a fellow Gunner breaking up a group of enemies you locked onto with your Firework Missiles for a chain).

The Lancer: Copain is this for Ciel. Bonus points for his ship sorta looking like a lance on the front, and his name being French for partner/friend. Driving the "lancer" point home more is that his aircraft's name means "knight" in French: the original lancers.

Nintendo Hard: Atlus Hard! While you can go through the game without too much issue, reckless play will knock you off your plane plenty of times and lead to a crash quickly. But where things really take a head is if you want to beat the other Gunners in the Friendly Rivalry competitions of prize money scoring, much less good scores in general, as you have to play much more delicately and patiently to rack up the combo chains. And naturally, this is a game where your machine guns dwindle your prize money and you even lose it on every hit you take.

Evil Laugh
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_68068108
comment
Evil Laugh: Rival's specialty, particularly when he's firing his Bat Missiles upon Ciel, although it's more of a dark, sinister chuckle. Ventre belts out a glorious one on occasion (during a few cutscenes and should the player fail at stopping his plans, such as allowing Ventre to tow away the Merveilleux or failing to protect the cargo planes in Scene 2). He gets the "laughter turns into crying" subversion if the player manages to capture him in Scene 5.

Purple Is the New Black: Rival's theme color is black, which would look odd as tracer rounds, so the Fantome's gatling cannon rounds burn violet. Overlaps with Purple Is Powerful, since that cannon can quickly grind through targets the other gunners would need special weapons to seriously damage.

The arrival of Ventre's twin battleships, Gauche and Droite, above the Merveilleux is treated as a moment of great drama and signals the climax of Scene 1. Battleships of a similar design will continue to appear during the huge brawls in most subsequent Scenes with no fanfare, but thankfully come with pre-exposed engine rooms.

And it's entirely possible for him to get away at the end of the story without a final ass-kicking at the hands of the heroes should the player fail to beat the final boss of the game in a matter of three minutes. (Good luck with that. The final level is the level that everyone loves to hate.)

Greater-Scope Villain: Rival's not hanging around for nothing. Someone hired Rival to steal a vital piece of the Eternal Engine. He was just using Ventre's conflict with the heroes to do the heavy work. And to fight Ciel for kicks. That being said, Rival's employer and their intentions for the Eternal Engine are never revealed, so this remains an ambiguous situation.

Leitmotif: During certain segments of each scene (particularly when things are going your way), the heroes get a bit of a Theme Music Power-Up, although the piece used varies depending on which character's campaign it is ("Together with the Wind" for Ciel, "Chevalier" for Copain, and "Light Fantastic Toe" for Femme). Rival also has his own boss theme, "Jet Black Gunner."

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Ventre has several airships, an air fortress, and a massive ship that's bigger than a city. It's heavily implied he himself built that ship with his minions. He obviously has several millions, if not billions, of whatever currency the world of the heroes use, and a lot of spare time. He doesn't have to steal the entire museum the Expo is being held in, he just wants to.

Jack-of-All-Stats: Ciel's craft is ranked B in all stats. Even his difficulty is Normal Mode. Same goes for Femme, although all of her stats are ranked A. To balance out her superior stats, she possesses the only special maneuver in the game that can't be directly used for combat (although it's still pretty darned effective, allowing her to make a quick U-turn and thereby make a second pass at enemies almost immediately).

Have a Nice Death
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_d933263
comment
Have a Nice Death/It's a Wonderful Failure: Being shot down in combat, being unable to prevent your teammates (in specific scenarios) from being shot down, or failing to neutralize Ventre's heists in the first two Scenes will result in a display of photos taken by Ventre in commemoration of his victory. There are ten variations in all, although one of them (Rival's) has nothing to actually do with Ventre's involvement and seems to have just been taken for the sake of good relations.

Feather Motif: Despite its use of standard airplane wings, using Femme's Active Turn will cause Branché to molt feathers. The final shot of the OP shows the three hero Gunners flying up into the sky/space, a hail of white feathers descending from the air as they do so.

Chekhov's Gunman
 SkyGunner (Video Game) / int_dcbe8a6e
comment
Chekhov's Gunman: In Femme's campaign, Hardi mentions that a machine soldier was recently stolen. Copain has to take care of that very same machine soldier (the Vainqueur "Fidele") in Scene 1. After being knocked off of the deck of the Merveilleux, it is repaired off-screen, refitted as the Vainqueur "Sage", and used in Scene 3 of Femme's campaign in an attempt to steal a telescope from Rive. Hardi gives some additional exposition note the Vainqueur was manufactured by Associé, the makers of Copain's Chevalier, and was intended to be shown off at the Expo, but was stolen while being transported to Rive and he, his men, and Femme team up to take out the machine soldier, causing Ventre to order for its retreat. It is later upgraded behind the scenes and returns in Scene 5 as the Vainqueur "Garde." In turn, it is shot out of the skies yet again (this time by Ciel), but is apparently re-repaired soon after to serve as the Final Boss. Even then, it reappears—seemingly no worse for wear—as the final enemy faced by Rival in his campaign, putting up one more fight before finally being destroyed for good.

Not Quite Dead: The final boss turns out completely functional and unharmed at the end of the game, floating on top of a piece of Grand Magasin. It's only revealed in Rival's playthrough, whereupon he destroys it a second time and steals a vital piece of the Eternal Engine from it.

comment
Simple, yet Awesome: The Fireworks and Cross Missiles, though the latter's "simplicity" is fairly debatable. Arguably, all of the planes' special maneuvers count as well. The only drawback is that Heavy Fire and Vortex do quite a number on the temperature gauge, leading to the planes overheating if you're not careful.

Artistic License – Physics: Overlapping with Art Major Physics. The Eternal Engine is a perpetual motion device capable of generating energy infinitely. This is very much disproven by the laws of physics. Femme should've been launched from her plane every time she used Active Maneuver. Also, Copain's plane shouldn't be able to even get off the ground. Not that it matters too much.
