  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  Let's jam with Body Slam!

Cquote2


A Beat'Em Up made by Animation Magic for the CDi in 1994.

The year is 2068. Things have changed. The Millenium Wars ruined the World's cities. The Great Tremor Plague of 2017 reduced the population by a third. Radiation from the Thanatos Meltdown radically altered the gene pool. Technology advanced. Bioengineers have created Animal-Human hybrids. Athletes are commonly enhanced with bionics. The Cybernet, a fiber optic communication network links everything. The rage of the Cybernet is Body Slam!

The story begin as a team unusually composed of pure-breed humans called the “Naturals” join the popular show Body Slam, hosted by Air J. Wolfjam. This doesn't please current champion Hectro-Genocide, who vows to defeat the Naturals to prove his belief that humans are obselete. The story is presented by interviews conducted by Wolfjam with Hectro-Genocide and the other teams between each fights.

Made by the same animators as I.M. Meen and the first two CDI Zelda, it features the same brand of deranged animated cutscenes and terrible acting, along with obnoxiously repetitive dialogue and ridiculous racial steterotypes.


This game provide examples of:[]

  • After the End
  • Animation Bump: The part of the intro where Airwolf introduce the Naturals is actually quite good, especially in comparison of the rest of Animation Magic's output.
  • Artistic License Biology: Apparently, the melting down of the gene pool means humans can suddenly give birth to pterodactyls.
  • Beat'Em Up
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Sort of. The one female member of the Naturals merely has a couple of teeth knocked out at the end of the game, as opposed to the two male members, who both have black eyes and are clearly bleeding.
  • Broken Record: Hectro-Genocide, you'd think his opinion on the Naturals would change.
  • Captain Obvious: The unfortunate doctor in the intro.

  • Scenery Gorn
  • Signature Line: THE KOMODOS WEARS SISSY PANTS! or THE HUMANS MUST BE USING SOME SORT OF... GUN.
  • Stock Footage: The same two bits of animation for both Airwolf and Hectro-Genocide are endlessly reused.
  • Stock Footage Failure: The recycled animation screws up the lip-synch and creates an odd moment in the ending when Airwolf congratulate the Naturals enthusiastically... while facepalming.
  • Strictly Formula: Never mind the animation, the dialogue itself seems to have been written by a mad-lib program.

 Airwolf: "OOH-WEE! The Naturals left the [defeated team] in the [x]! What's your hit on these naturals?"

Hectro-Genocide: "[Defeated team] are [x], Airwolf! Wait until the Naturals fight somebody [y]!" or "Cheaters, Airwolf! The [x] must be [y]! There is NO WAY [x] can be [y]!"
