Viewtiful Joe is a combination of Platformers and Progressive Beat 'em Ups with Stylish Action elements developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom. The games were originally released on the Nintendo GameCube, and also appeared in enhanced form on Sony PlayStation 2, with a third game on the Nintendo DS.The story begins when film fan Joe and his girlfriend, "Sexy" Silvia, go to see an old tokusatsu movie called "Captain Blue". However, when the titular Captain Blue is defeated by the villain, said villain reaches out into the real world from the movie screen and kidnaps Silvia. Joe is also brought into the movie by Captain Blue's ship, the Six Machine. Now inside the world of "Movie Land", Joe meets his hero: Captain Blue, who has grown fat and old. Seeing immense potential in Joe, Captain Blue gifts Joe with the V-Watch, which with Joe, by saying the word "Henshin" (or, as he likes to say it, "Henshin-a-Go-Go, Baby!"), can turn into the superhero called Viewtiful Joe.The first game saw Joe venturing through the various movie sets of Movie Land, fighting against the forces of Jadow, the evil syndicate that defeated Captain Blue and kidnapped Silvia. Joe fights and defeats the Mecha-Mooks that make up Jadow with his powers of VFX: VFX Slow, VFX Mach Speed, and VFX Zoom.In the sequel, Joe and Silvia (who now has a V-Watch and can transform into a superhero, too), must stop another evil syndicate: Gedow. Led by the enigmatic Black Emperor, Gedow means to find the seven Rainbow Oscars, colorful statues that represent a force known as "the Power of the Happy Ending". Gedow captures and turns Captain Blue into one of these Rainbow Oscars, prompting Joe and Silvia to venture through new locales in Movie Land to find the remaining Rainbow Oscars and rescue Captain Blue, before the Black Emperor finds them and uses their power to escape Movie Land and take over the real world.A third game, subtitled Double Trouble, was released on the Nintendo DS. It has similar gameplay, but new moves which take advantage of the double screen. Unlike the first two games, this one takes place in the real world, in an amusement park called... Movie Land. (Yes, seriously...) However, villainous entities within the actual Movie Land have finally managed to escape the realm and enter the real world. This new syndicate, Madow, is wreaking havoc in the amusement park, going so far as to steal the reel of a film Captain Blue's making starring Joe's sister, Jasmine.Joe, of course, goes forth to defeat Madow and get the film back... but since he's in the real world, he doesn't have his V-Watch, thus can't transform into Viewtiful Joe. Blue and Silvia help him transform by constantly filming Joe with a special "V-Cam", which channels the "movie energy" Joe needs in order to transform into his superhero alter-ego and fight against Madow.The official website for the first two games can be found here. There has also been an anime adaptation, which maintains much of the feel of the original (but only lasted one season in the U.S.) and a manga adaptation.There is also a Mascot Fighter, Red Hot Rumble, featuring characters from the animated series, as well as a few from Devil May Cry in the PSP version of the game. This game is not connected to the main series, and its gameplay is similar to that of the Super Smash Bros. games.Unfortunately, Clover shut down in 2007, and the lead designer is now with another company. Though he's expressed interest in completing his console trilogy, the outlook is grim.Capcom has not left Joe out to dry, however. After Clover's demise, Joe has appeared as a playable character in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and then Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Regardless of what happens to his home series, Joe has found acceptance in Capcom's stable, ensuring he at least stays visible for the foreseeable future. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: Given who he is and what powers he has, this is to be expected with Another Joe. Frost Tiger. As hard as Fire Leo is, at least he didn't constantly run away shooting up fireballs from the ground. If you fail to make Frost Tiger dizzy by dodging his attacks the first time, he runs away and engulfs his body with frost again. Fire Leo is frustrating because he's so hard to beat; Frost Tiger is frustrating because he never stays still. Dark Kaiser revolves around this — you have to catch up to the enormous mecha before it lays down punishment, because Dark Kaiser is invulnerable to attack until it opens its chest to unleash a missile strike, Jupiter pinball attack, or Saturn ring attack that traps you in a confined space. Also, those fire dragons can't hurt you if you punch the earth at Mach Speed and get a fire aura going. Yes, you have to punch out the freakin' Earth to keep giant flaming space dragons from burning your balls. Dark Hero Jet Black is the same, but with him, if you follow him as he flies away, it's likely you're gonna get butchered by a sudden shitstorm of attacks. Wronski Feint much? | |

Elemental Barrier | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_114d9d75 | comment |
Elemental Barrier: By attacking rapidly while in Mach Speed, Joe obtains a fire aura. In the second game, Silvia gains a lightning aura by using her Replay power. These auras protect the player from fire and lightning, respectively, as well as solving fire and lightning-related puzzles (like lighting torches and activating machinery). Switching out between characters also passes any active auras onto the other character, meaning that Joe can briefly gain Silvia's electric aura and Silvia can gain Joe's fiery one. | |

Heroic BSoD: Only in the anime adaption, when Joe finds out that Captain Blue is the Big Bad. It takes Blue Jr., Silvia, and people Joe met through Movie Land to get him out of it. He had a minor BSOD at the same moment in the game, too ("How? Why?"), but quickly snapped out of it himself. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Joe, Alastor, and quite a few others. Justified to the extreme in that they are all characters in an action movie and are entirely aware of that fact. Oddly, the first game's main villain, King/Captain Blue, averts this Trope; he's supposed to be the guy who makes these films, and knows their cliches and ideas in and out, so how is he not a more dangerous threat if he's got those traits? | |

Genre Shift | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: In the very last level of the first game, when you find out the main villain is none other than Captain Blue, the tone becomes far more serious, with Joe downplaying his quipping as he treats the situation more seriously. | |

Whenever Alastor is defeated, he appears to "die" honorably. The narrator gets very sentimental over this. However, Alastor usually appears immediately afterwards to lament his lack of screen time; in the first game he appeals directly to the players, and in 2 he speaks with Jet. | |

Spiritual Successor: An intentional example; Viewtiful Joe is very much a sidescrolling, toku-themed Devil May Cry, full of Mythology Gags to its sister series and having very similar gameplay, being an easy to pick up, but hard to master action game that grades your performance at the end of each stage to motivate improvement. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Six Cannon. Unlike the other Viewtiful Touch moves, the VFX gauge needs to be extended almost all the way up to the maximum. It also requires a good deal of time for charging, which leaves you vulnerable for the duration (and if you're hit, you have to start over again). And then when you finally get around to firing it, it turns out that this attack is better for mook crowd control than against a boss. However, use VFX Slow and you'll be rewarded with a crawling blast of death that bites CHUNKS out of any boss's lifebar. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: The PS2 demo version from 2 in the PlayStation Holiday Disc 2004 caused all save files in their memory cards inserted in the console to be deleted. It even as a warning that it is strongly recommended to remove their memory cards before launching the demo. | |

VFX Power Zoom. It consists of zooming in the shot on Joe, adding blur and motion lines everywhere to focus on the hero, and Joe striking an heroic pose. It also adds crazy effects to his attacks in the name of making everything awesome, like making his jumps into flying drills, his falls into earth-shaking Ground Pounds, his kicks into windmill strikes of death, turning his punch into a blindingly fast flurry of blows, and the Red Hot Kick into a burning dragon drill drop! Last, but not least, is the Viewtiful Forever, which has Zoom turn his Bullet Time dodge into a weaponized Ass-Kicking Pose! | |

Walkie-Talkie Gag, Over | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_3dd156af | comment |
Walkie-Talkie Gag, Over: One of the bosses, Sergeant Big John, frequently talks over the military radio and as such he always ends his sentences with "over". Even when he's disguising himself as "Big Lee" later on, he still says "over" after his sentences, which easily gives up his identity to Joe and Silvia. | |

Twincest: More than likely unintentional, but in the first game, all playable characters have the exact same actions in their cutscenes. Meaning that Silvia attempting to make out with Joe during the game's intro sequence carries through with Silvia and her sister Goldie. You can infer for yourself if this was unintentional or not. | |

Adaptational Superpower Change | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_538273bd | comment |
Adaptational Superpower Change: In the games, VFX is implied to be the power of movie magic itself, merely altering the user's perception of the world around them, and Joe has to learn it directly from Captain Blue. In the anime, however, VFX is recognized as Captain Blue's power even in-universe, and Joe is able to learn it himself just by remembering scenes where Blue used it. In a more specific example, the anime also changes Zoom from a stance to an actual power, allowing the user to literally zoom their vision in on enemy weak points, likely because the way Zoom works in the games would have been difficult to adapt into a medium that already has dynamic camera angles and close-ups. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: You can play as Captain Blue, who can jump as high as a double jump, float indefinitely as long as you hold the jump button, with his only drawback being the inability to see skulls that telegraph enemy attacks. You only unlock him by beating "Ultra V-Rated" mode in the first game, the hardest difficulty. You can unlock Unlimited VFX by beating every level of the game with a Rainbow V ranking. Given the game is already rather difficult, by the time you've unlocked it, you've probably beaten everything the game could throw at you. The sequel gives the same reward for beating all of the challenges in the 36 Chambers of Viewtiful, many of which unlock after doing something within the game itself, meaning you've already beaten the base game by the time you're able to use Unlimited VFX. | |

Nintendo Hard: Fire Leo. Also, the Rainbow V challenge to unlock "super" versions of each character with unlimited VFX is quite possibly one of the most masochistic things one could do for a video game. Ultra V-Rated Mode is sadistic; even if you know how to predict their blows without the indicators, it's still kinda hard. | |

| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_663f35c0 | comment |
Only One Name: Joe, Silvia, and Jasmine (and by proxy, Goldie, Ivory, and Junko) are never given a last name. However, given that Jet Black is Joe and Jasmine's father and Junko's husband, it's likely that Jet's family shares his surname. According to Hideki Kamiya, Wonder-Cheerleader from The Wonderful 101 is meant to be Silvia herself, meaning that Silvia's full name is actually Silvianne Lumiere. It thus stands to reason that Blue, Ivory, and Goldie's last names would therefore also be Lumiere. | |

Trapped in TV Land: The first two games take place almost entirely in Movieland, the world inside the silver screen. The plot of the first game is kicked off when Joe and Silvia are watching an old Captain Blue movie, only for JADOW's leader to reach through the screen and capture Silvia, leaving Joe to follow after them and save her, and it takes until the end of the second game for the two of them to return to the real world. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: In the first game's sixth level, you consecutively fight all the previous bosses except Alastor, then if you beat that without dying, you fight Fire Leo, and then in the next level, you fight multiple robot clones of Fire Leo several times, and if you should get past that, you fight King Blue and Captain Blue in succession. Yeah, have fun with that. | |

Ass-Kicking Pose | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_7f7e6691 | comment |
Ass-Kicking Pose: Viewtiful Forever, one of the most expensive upgrades, actually damages Joe's opponents when he uses it — too bad it does crap for damage and gobbles up practically all of VFX. On the other hand, Joe IS invincible during the animation, which can give you a little breather during combat, and with a VFX Turbo Charger, the invincibility lasts long enough to turn back into Viewtiful mode. | |

Make My Monster Grow | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_7fa7b32e | comment |
Make My Monster Grow: The main villain of the first game is Captain Blue, who can transform into the gigantic, menacing King Blue at will. Played with in the third level of Double Trouble. Vanilla is a stylish, tiny little commander (about the size of a figurine) who is in charge of defending a giant movie studio... where everything is also appropriately tiny, obviously to utilize the Miniature Effect and People in Rubber Suits methods of filmmaking. When she transforms using her heroic power, she becomes Alter Woman, an acrobatic, beam-blasting wonder who looks just like a female Ultraman... and now, 50 times bigger, is barely taller than Joe. | |

Beat Them at Their Own Game: To put out Fire Leo's flames so he can be attacked directly, Joe's only option is to set himself on fire with a flame that burns hotter. The only way to do that is to use the meteors he leaves behind and hammer them with Mach Speed until you catch on fire. (Or you can Zoom In during a Red Hot Kick to perform a flaming Spiral Dragon Kick.) | |

Alastor also talks about the ritual that would release Jadow as requiring a donor who shares his master's DNA, which doesn't seem to make sense until it's revealed Captain Blue originally wasn't a denizen of Movie Land. | |

That character's name? Jet. The characters are otherwise unrelated, as the Jet from the cartoon lives in the future with his daughter under evil totalitarian rule. Joe's father, however... | |

From a Stripperiffic outfit during boss battles to loads and loads of panty shots (thanks to the Underwear of Power, if she's not wearing a leotard) to the most sensual Zoomed-in pose you'll ever see, Silvia has this one in the bag. Sprocket does give her a run for her money in the anime and Red Hot Rumble, though. | |

Frost Tiger. As hard as Fire Leo is, at least he didn't constantly run away shooting up fireballs from the ground. If you fail to make Frost Tiger dizzy by dodging his attacks the first time, he runs away and engulfs his body with frost again. Fire Leo is frustrating because he's so hard to beat; Frost Tiger is frustrating because he never stays still. | |

No Inner Fourth Wall: One of the best examples, and the source of a lot of the humor. Joe is fully aware of every old movie trope he encounters, though he remains oblivious to any video game tropes he runs into unless the two overlap. The best example has to be Six Majin and King Blue literally reaching through the fourth wall to pull Joe and Silvia into Movie Land. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Joe. In everything he does. All he has to say to transform is "Henshin." The other words are just for fun. VFX Power Zoom. It consists of zooming in the shot on Joe, adding blur and motion lines everywhere to focus on the hero, and Joe striking an heroic pose. It also adds crazy effects to his attacks in the name of making everything awesome, like making his jumps into flying drills, his falls into earth-shaking Ground Pounds, his kicks into windmill strikes of death, turning his punch into a blindingly fast flurry of blows, and the Red Hot Kick into a burning dragon drill drop! Last, but not least, is the Viewtiful Forever, which has Zoom turn his Bullet Time dodge into a weaponized Ass-Kicking Pose! In the beginning of 2, Joe learns that the V-Watch can change the clothing of their users in accordance to their desires. Then comes this event: | |

The third game probably would have addressed that... | |

Humongous Mecha | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: Ups the ante to ridiculous levels, as Six Majin is big enough to walk around the Earth in a few strides, and Six X Six Majin is bigger than most planets. The only thing in the Solar System that Dark Kaiser is not larger than is the Sun. King Blue is the same size as Great Six Majin. In Double Trouble, Alastor gets his own mecha in the form of Rex Majin, which is as big as Six Majin (read: Godzilla-sized). The size of Six Majin is a bit muddled. In the beginning of the first game, and in Double Trouble, it's skyscraper sized. But in the penultimate battle of the first game, and in the transformation sequence where it combines with Great Six Majin, it is taller than mountains. | |

Mundane Utility: It's easy to overlook the Shocking Pink item, but it has the useful quality of letting you break open containers in the background (normally you'd have to mach-speed-punch an enemy, but you can punch the bomb instead if none are around). This is more useful as containers can contain health, coins and most-importantly the v-cans you need to extend your VFX bar, which is important seeing as the game is Nintendo Hard on higher difficulties. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Many of the GEDOW enemies in the second game are, with minor design changes, functionally identical to those of JADOW from the first. Ditto for MADOW in Double Trouble. | |

Rank Inflation: You need to avoid getting one "C" rank or else your entire rating won't be "Viewiful." | |

Battle Strip | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_f771f23b | comment |
Battle Strip: In 2, Silvia's normal superheroine outfit dispatches the top, skirt, and stockings for a leg-baring, midriff-baring, and buxom-flaunting outfit of a bikini and hot pants. | |

Running Gag | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Whenever Alastor is defeated, he appears to "die" honorably. The narrator gets very sentimental over this. However, Alastor usually appears immediately afterwards to lament his lack of screen time; in the first game he appeals directly to the players, and in 2 he speaks with Jet. Big John has a slightly more minor once (see Bait-and-Switch Boss above). | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: In the fourth "episode" of the first game, it's possible to run across the torpedoes without deactivating them, which allows you to skip the first "mission" of the area and go right to the chapter end boss. | |

You Killed My Father | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Brother: Subverted with Frost Tiger. Joe and Silvia expect him to want revenge for the death of Fire Leo in 1, but Frost Tiger is too concerned with having a good fight to care about such petty things. Still, the strategy guide implies that Tiger may be a mite ticked off about the death of his brother. | |

Cut Short | |
| Viewtiful Joe (Video Game) / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: The series was meant to be a trilogy; however, since Clover stopped to work on two spin-offs, then got canned by Capcom, the third main-series game was never made. | |
