Tropes

 * Adorkable: Eli, despite being a stupid villain, is actually adorable.
 * Awesome Music: The franchise is also known to have really awesome music.
 * Also, music that plays in every final boss in the entire Collin the Speedy Boy franchise sounds so awesome and so badass. Even LEGO Collin the Speedy Boy: The Video Game has that both phases.
 * Badass: The Peacock, The Hummingbird, Stacie, Mattie, Jayden, The Wesdragon, Cooper, Trent, Flappy, Bryte, Maxima and (even) Collin
 * Banned in China: Despite the fact it is a family-friendly franchise, the series is banned in Malaysia for an unknown reason. Although, it was once banned in China due to the video game ban, although the game itself was released only in 2013, two years before the ban was lifted.
 * Berserk Button: Whatever you do, do NOT call Collin a "fraud!"
 * Same for Evelynn if you call her a princess.
 * Part of the comics trope, but it also happens to Katie if you call her "a hopeless child".
 * Bitch in Sheep’s Clothing: There are several characters in the franchise that preform that. For example, Audrinna Flanagan revealed to be Sendarya the Medusa.
 * Big Damn Reunion: In the ending of Speedyverse, after Starspeed's timeline and himself is brought back to life, Alexis and Starspeed have a tearful reunion, and agreeing to try their best to revive FingerTown.
 * Bloodless Carnage: In Beyond FingerTown, when Peacock threw the sharp feather at the Goat Wizard Guard in Magic Mountains, hitting him in the arm, there wasn't any blood coming out.
 * It also happens in LEGO Collin the Speedy Boy: The Video Game where all characters fall into pieces when they die.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: Characters sometimes do this.
 * Childhood Friends: Collin the Speedy Boy and Mattie Gargis are BFFs since he and Mattie were only 3 and 1, respectively. As a result, they deeply care and love each other.
 * Cigar Chomper: Sir Raptor from Collin the Speedy Boy: Beyond FingerTown
 * Cry Cute: Alexis Doll falls to this category.
 * Dawson Casting: Collin and his human friends, despite being teenagers, were always voiced by adults, even with their consequent recasts.
 * Disc-One Final Boss: This happens several happens in the entire franchise.
 * In Collin the Speedy Boy: The World Adventure, you have to defeat Maxima... TWICE. After you beat Maxima as Collin, and shortly after Maxima was revealed, Jaidyn turns herself into Ultra Maxima, the more monsterous, stronger and demonic version of Maxima, and you have a Super Collin/Perfect Collin fight with her.
 * Also happens in Collin: Mechanical World, when you defeat Aubrey, where everybody thought she was the main antagonist, would later redeem after she becomes betrayed, and Maximillion is truly a final boss in this game.
 * Dresses, Gowns and Skirts: Most of the girls of the franchise wear skirts. The reason, according to Hamilton, is to make them more feminine. Some characters do wear dresses.
 * Enemy Mine: In Collin the Speedy Boy: Beyond FingerTown where Bryte teamed up with Collin and his friends to stop Sir Victor Aku.
 * Expanded Universe: Collin the Speedy Boy: The Whole Verse
 * Family Unfriendly Death: Sendarya, upon surviving a hole made by Super Collin in her stomach, had bombs being placed by Elisha on the same place, causing her to explode into her body parts on LEGO Collin the Speedy Boy: The Video Game.
 * Another example, Collin, in one game, gets shot in the chest with a laser by Maximillion, causing Aubrey to be playable to collect the orbs.
 * Yet a another example isn't in the original Collin the Speedy Boy 3D: The FingerTown Problem, but in the remake, instead of falling down like in the original, the Blood Spitter Face Paints' upper body now explodes. Despite that, no organs were shown at all.
 * Fandom Rivalry:
 * The CtSB and Sonic the Hedgehog fanbases have a longtime rivalship due to the StH fanbase believing CtSB ripped Sonic off.
 * When first revealed, Evelynn was negatively compared by Sonic fans to Amy Rose (the most prominent love interest to Sonic) due to her falling in love with the main character and TBD.
 * Ironically enough, her voice actress voiced Princess Sally Acorn (another love interest to Sonic) in Sonic SatAM.
 * The CtSB fanbase had their rivalship with fanbases of other WBIE games, including Mortal Kombat, Good Ol' Magic, Howler, Mark: Time Janitor, and The Dinosaur Princess, with some fans of those WBIE games despising CTSB because of how "overpopular" it is. One member of the Mortal Kombat fanbase even made fanart with Scorpion brutally murdering Collin (by ripping his head off), but one fan in the CTSB fandom made a drawing that shows Collin murdering Sub-Zero as a response to that picture.
 * Even the fanbase of Warner Bros.' biggest franchise isn't safe from this. Some Looney Tunes fans accuse Collin from trying to overthrow Bugs Bunny as the mascot of Warner Bros. due to franchise's supposed "overpopularity" and how they thought Collin was being more recognizable to kids than Bugs. That caused one of the developers of CtSB to make a tweet that said "Collin was never meant to overthrow Bugs."
 * In 2017, Warner Bros. released a video of Bugs Bunny adressing both series' fans by defending Collin from those accusations and TBD.
 * Foreshadowing: CTSB has several of these.
 * One of the most notiable ones is The Peacock actually Maddie in Beyond FingerTown.
 * Smeckle nearly calls The Peacock, Maddie, much to her dismayal. Turned out, The Peacock is Maddie.
 * Fragile Flower: Alexis Doll falls to this category.
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * Even though they also have rivalship, some Sonic the Hedgehog fans even like the game series. Mostly, Mario and Kirby fans like the series.
 * Despite the odds of some fans, big part of the Looney Tunes fandom considers CtSB as another great WB franchise.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: This actually has some adult humor. For example, a character (Alexis Doll) in one game, nearly said "motherfucker", however, that was blocked off by a falling object she survives. If she really said that, then it would be rerated T or even M.
 * Also with swearing, Collin has actually cussed Goof out in a The Chronicles of Collin the Speedy Boy episode. Luckily, it was censored to keep it family-friendly.
 * Shockingly, there was a banned episode from that said show that involved cussing, being titled Hey! Language! where Collin cusses continously after watching a R-rated film.
 * Occassionally, Sharp is called Shart by some characters.
 * One time, Collin is called Shartlin.
 * An another banned TCoCTSB episode, Carlos' Day Off, has a sexual joke.
 * Good Smoker, Bad Smoker: Like previous one, Sir Raptor from Collin the Speedy Boy: Beyond FingerTown.
 * Heel-Face Turn: There are a lot of heel-face turns, the total list shows (so far):
 * Stacie. At first, at her debut, she appeared to be a ruthless, sadistic, power-hungry and cold-hearted female clone of Collin who attempts to destroy him to become a hero of FingerTown, as told by Bryte. Later in the game, Stacie realizes that Bryte is actually tricking her to do bad stuff and she reforms and attacks Bryte with Collin, thus becoming a anti-hero ally since then.
 * Maddison "Maddie" Crowell / The Peacock. At her debut, she was seeking revenge on Collin and was hired by Bryte to kill him. However, upon realizing that Collin didn't know she was there and didn't see him and Bryte was only using her for powers, she reforms and thus makes a close friendship with Collin.
 * Jaidyn Quillen / Maxima. At her debut she was a villainess seeking revenge, but she ends up redeeming at the end.
 * Aubrey McCravy / Aubrey Blackstorm. At first, she was cold-hearted and ruthless girl who was hired by Maximillion to destroy Collin and FingerTown and claim it as his own, but realizes Maximillion's true plans and being betrayed, she tearfully redeems along with Drumplers.
 * Starspeed in Speedyverse. After being revealed to be the Collin of the future after Dimension Lord and Bryte successfully killed all of his friends, he agrees to help the heroes defeat the Lord, and accepted his fate of being erased from existance. Luckily, he is brought back along with his timeline as a hero.
 * In the Hood: Occassionally, Jayden puts her hood up.
 * Marathon Boss: There are some CTSB games with final bosses that takes time and could take up to 30 minutes or even a hour.
 * Collin the Speedy Boy 2. The first phase of the final boss simply starts with a colossial Elefish mech that can smash the hero. However, the second phase proves way difficult that adds tough armor to the mech and can now shoot rapidly, making the final boss more difficult. To make it more difficult is that the only way to destroy the armor is has its laser hit the armor, making this the most difficult Bryte boss battle and one of the difficult final bosses of the entire franchise.

 * (reserved for GreenGrassCreeper)
 * Collin: Travel to The Past. The final boss itself is the hardest boss of the game, although not as hard as those previous three. In order to defeat him, you have to time your attacks perfectly.
 * (reserved for GreenGrassCreeper)
 * Memetic Mutation: Gurkha, ever since April of 2019 when a YouTube user posted a short video called "Gurkha's Going After You!". Ever since then, aside from the "Look out, fool! Gurkha's heading after you! (screaming)", Gurkha memes have been made.
 * One example of a Gurkha meme was a Moto Moto-parody video, with Gurkha as Gloria and HueHue from Victor and Valentino as Moto Moto.
 * Another example was TBD.
 * One-Hit-Point Wonder: Almost every Collin the Speedy Boy game, there is a enemy or enemies sometimes) that will instantly kill you and lose a life, even at full health. However, the only games that lack that are Baylee, Flappy: Protector of AnimalWorld, Halie: Haunted House, the Collin: X-Treme Sports series and Collin All-Stars Speedy Racing (and its sequel).
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: Oscar Hamilton, before his death and while he is dealing with cancer, discovers CTSB porn and adult fanfics. And damn, he is SUPER PISSED. He not only threatened a lawsuit to those that drew porn of CTSB characters, but even called them "damn, heartless pedophiles who aren't true CTSB fans".
 * When he discovered that Stella McDonnell made some, their friendship nearly broke down. Then, when Stella apologizes to him by drawing a sweet picture of Charlotte and Collin hugging, he made a promise to Stella that she won't do porn of CTSB again. Even when Hamilton died, Stella never did porn of CTSB again.
 * When Fujiyama discovered CTSB adult material and fics, including ones made by Stella, he TBD.
 * Sequetian Boss: That happens at times in Collin the Speedy Boy franchise. (Trope and examples is W.I.P)
 * Collin: The Blood Squad featured two phases of the final boss. The first phase featured Mattie, the leader and the second (and final phase) where the Blood Squad fused together and Collin goes Super Collin for the attack.
 * Collin the Speedy Boy: The World Adventure has Maxima being a final boss three times. One only as Collin himself and Ultra Maxima has two phases, where in the second phase Maxima becomes tougher and the music changes to its theme song.
 * LEGO Collin the Speedy Boy: The Video Game has two phases of Audri/Sendarya. The first phase is Audri becoming more giant and aggressive and the second phase starts after a dramatic cutscene where Audri was revealed to be Sendarya by a hammer that was built by Mattie, Evelynn, Flappy, Cooper and WesDragon and ultimately to fight her, Collin turns to Super Collin while Maddie fights the goons on the ground.
 * Ship-to-Ship Combat: Fans often discuss which couple is better: Collin/Evelynn, Collin/Alexis, Collin/Jayden, Trent/Alexis or even Collin/Zane.
 * There are also some crossover shippings like Collin/Ashton, Collin/Charlotte, TBD.
 * Some fans just wished that those rivalships ended and some even are favorable to a three-way solution like Collin/Evelynn/Alexis or TBD.
 * Super Mode: Collin the Speedy Boy has his super form that is formed by combining the 8 orbs on a person. Collin turns into Super Collin in almost every game, mostly in final bosses, but you can turn into Super Collin at anytime after you beat the game.
 * Of course, Collin isn't the only one. Elisha, Stacie, Baylee, The Peacock, Flappy and Kristina unleashed their superforms as well.
 * However, the only games that Collin doesn't turn super on the final bosses are the first installment (3D remake excluded since it does include the super form but on a different mode), Collin the Speedy Boy 2, Collin's Game Gear Journey (and its 2003 GBA remake), Baylee (of course due to the fact that he is only playable in the multiplayer), Baylee's Maze Adventure and Kristina: The Great Rescue (where Kristina instead is the one who turns super for the final boss).
 * The Hero Dies: That happens with Collin in some CTSB games. However, he is revived at the climax, mostly before the final boss.
 * The Musical: The franchise does have it several times, notably being the Collin the Speedy Boy: The Musical. Recently it was confirmed that TCoCTSB would have a one hour musical episode.
 * The Reveal: The entire franchise has this. For example, Baby Mikey, who appeared in Halie: Haunted House returned in the sequel, was actually revealed to be a legendary demon who can control ghosts.
 * Another example, Maxima was revealed to be Collin's former friend Jaidyn, as she is seeking revenge on him for abandoning her.
 * Yet a another one, Audrianna Flanagan who was trusted by Collin and his gang turns out to be Maddie's nemesis named Sendarya the Medusa in her human disguise, realizing that Audri was not a real person.
 * Starspeed is actually revealed to be Collin the Speedy Boy from the future.
 * What Could Have Been: See /What Could Have Been.
 * What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? - Despite being a family-friendly franchise, this franchise is known to have some darker elements in some media. Collin the Speedy Boy: At All Speed is a very good example of the trope, as even though it is for kids, the series is darker and little more violent that its previous cartoons.
 * This trope is mainly also on the Comic trope, but the Collin the Speedy Boy comic series is also known to be a little darker than its main franchise.
 * Believe it or not, CTSB actually has an extended universe, and half of its installments are adult-oriented.

Funny
The CTSB franchise is known to be a comedy-action franchise, so expect a lot of humorous moments.
 * Times where Bryte fusses out Eli and Fang Suckle can be funny at times.
 * Some characters sometimes act out as comic relieves. For example...
 * Tommy the Opossum.
 * Eli and Fang Suckle
 * The Wesdragon (at times)

Tear Jerker
While the franchise is mainly known to combine action with comedy, this franchise is also known for having several extremely sad moments that can make people cry.
 * Voodoo's tragic past. Sometime after the events of Fingers, Voodoo faced some heartbreaking traumas like losing his brother to the Teary Eyeds and sadly losing his parents to a mysterious villain.
 * Voodoo's death in Revolution.
 * Braces' reaction when his homeworld gets destroyed by Maxima.
 * Jasmine never made a reappearance since 2014, which made fans worry that she is either dead or left FingerTown, never to be seen again. Luckily, a recent poster from The Synergy Rangers, which is set in the same community as CTSB, confirmed that Jasmine is still alive.
 * Of course, we do feel sorry for Aubrey Blackstorm. (W.I.P)
 * Beyond FingerTown had some sad moments, including:
 * The Peacock’s origins. Maddie was once a happy lovable girl that she had her best friends she loved, and Collin used to stand up to her bullies for her. However, since Alabama's being destroyed and Collin forgetting she survived, she wanted big revenge on Collin and turned her gala dress into a combat dress to end him once and for all before her redemption.
 * Skylos' past. (reserved for GreenGrass)
 * Collin, sadly, has several sad deaths during the franchises, which includes:

 * His death in Beyond FingerTown, TBD.
 * The most tear jerking death he had so far was in the made for television movie Collin the Speedy Boy: Speedyverse, where he made a heroic sacrifice to save his friends and the other universes from the hands of The Dimension Lord. After his death, Collin gets erased from existance... Luckily, with love from both his friends and the different Collins, he is brought back to life and got restored.
 * Speedyverse tends to bring most of the CTSB viewers into tears.
 * Collin of Alexis's universe's death.
 * Starspeed's backstory. He is revealed to be the Collin of the future where he failed to stop Dimension Lord and Bryte, and they killed everyone, but himself. He was in verge of tears in the cage of Bryte, and cried throughout the years. Years pasted, he become bitter and bitter, and used his speed to go to the past, and becomes a bad guy. Luckily, he reforms and is erased from existance after the Dimension Lord's defeat and Collin's revival, implying the future is changed as he proudly tells Collin to TBD before he disappears.
 * Also a heartwarming one, after he and his timeline was brought back to life by Voodoo, Starspeed (Collin) sees Alexis, who has also survived. They share a tearful hug and a reunion.\
 * The Chronicles of Collin the Speedy Boy, the franchise's third television series, has several tear jerking moments.
 * Jayden and The Cute Robot Dog is a prime example of a tear-jerking episode.
 * The Mayor of FingerTown's death in a flashback. It was shown that Zane killed him offscreen.
 * The one in real life, but Oscar and Stella's friendship almost shattered permanently when he discovered that Stella did some CTSB porn art. Luckily, they were able to keep their friendship via a promise.
