Genre Roulette is what the name suggests: A single work that switches between distinct genres, seemingly at random. As it's hard enough to write well in one genre, Genre Roulette can be hard to pull off seriously. Comedies and parodies, on the other hand, usually don't raise any eyebrows when they do this, provided they continue to bring the funny. When applied to videogame genres (i.e. the style of gameplay), it's Gameplay Roulette. Compare/contrast with Genre Busting and Genre Adultery. Examples of Genre Roulette include:
