A fanfare played at the end of a battle in which the player is victorious.
Some video games feature characters that play video games themselves, with the player sometimes taking control of the character playing the game-within-a-game. This also includes game characters who explicitly mention that they play video games.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
Just as heroes sometimes fall from grace, occasionally someone who works for the forces of evil will turn their life around and become a good guy.
A group of villains, each with a different characteristic and ability (or gimmick) that insist on fighting the protagonist one at a time. They may have ridden together, but they never die together.
A video game protagonist's enemies come from more than just the Animal and Mineral kingdoms. P-O'd plants have been battled by everyone from plumbers to the undead.
The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
"Vore" is an internet term for a sexual fetish for the act of a creature swallowing someone else whole while they are still alive. The act is also seen in many video games, in a decidedly less sexual manner.
The big bad is defeated, the world is saved, and any last minute moral decisions are made, but what happens to all your favourite characters after the credits roll? Some games leave that thread hanging, while others use slideshows, cutscenes, or text to explain what life had in store for them.
Wigglers are enemies that look like caterpillars. They first appeared in Super Mario World, where if Mario, Luigi, or Yoshi jumped on it, the Wiggler would turn red and start running fast, as well as being able to move in the character's direction.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
