Normal summoning a tribute monster

[GoreTiger]

How do you do this? I have a few cards that say "when this monster is normal summoned" that are 6 stars or higher, How do I get these effects to activate?

You just tribute summon the monster and the effect activates, that's it. Tribute Summoning is just another form of Normal Summoning but it's for monsters level 5+

But every time I do this, the effect still stays shadowed out like it's not taking effect.
For example red-eyes arch fiend, or meter dragon red eyes impact.

Because you didn't read the text.Red Eyes Archfiend for example says" This card is treated as a "Normal Monster" while face-up on the field or in the graveyard(meaning it doesn't have any effects/non-effect monster).
While this card is a "Normal Monster on the field", you can "Normal Summon" it to have it become an "Effect Monster"(you do this by tapping on the card and choose normal summon).Then you can activate it's effect.
This goes for all monsters that are "GEMINI".They need to be summoned again while on the field to gain their effect.

Both of those monsters are Gemini Monsters, when you first summon a Gemini monster they are a Normal Monster, you have to Normal Summon them again (or the first time depending on if you Tribute Summoned them to the field or Special Summoned them to the field) in order to activate their effect

But this is the part I don't understand, I tribute summon them, but then it gives me no other option to do anything like what you both described. I don't get a prompt to re-summon them. Even when I click the card and have other monsters to tribute again if need be.

Because you can do only 1 normal summon per turn and the tribute summon is already a normal summon.Unless you special summon it with another card or you have a card that lets you normal summon again you need to wait for your next turn to normal summon it.

As others have mentioned, you're clearly looking at a Gemini type monster.

Gemini Monsters, while face-up on the field or in the GY, are treated as Normal monsters (no effect). You can Normal Summon a Gemini monster WHEN IT IS ALREADY FACE-UP ON THE FIELD to give it the listed effect. You have to Normal Summon the monster "twice", so to speak.

Obviously, if you special summon the monster first and still somehow have your normal summon for the turn available, you can apply a Gemini effect that way.

gemini monsters get their effects after being summoned twice. (one of many gimmicks that konami stopped trying). If you tribute summon them this turn, next turn you can summon them again by clicking them to get their effects.

[Rainmaker]

when a gemini monster is summoned the first time, it's treated as a normal monster without an effect. it needs to be normal summoned while already on the field to gain its effects

it's a stupid gimmick konami tried to make work. you could always use the equip spell Supervise to get around this, if you so wish

Ah yes the gemini effect..... There kind annoying to use and are not very viable
