Joe Danger

Joe Danger is a motorcycle-racing game released in 2010 on the Playstation Network by the Guildford, UK-based Hello Games. It was later released on Xbox Live Arcade under the title Joe Danger: Special Edition.

The title character is a professional motorbike stuntman prepared to make his big comeback and shatter all sorts of world records in the process (that is, if he doesn't shatter all of his bones first). Your job is to help Joe complete a long series of courses by racking up points with tricks off ramps and springboards. In some levels, you'll be asked to hit as many targets as you can, or collect a set of coins within the time limit, while others pit you against Joe's masked rivals, Team Nasty.

Tropes in Joe Danger:

 * Amusing Injuries
 * Follow the Money: Most optimal paths in the game are marked by trails of coins or stars.
 * Level Editor
 * Shark Pool
 * Shout-Out: Many of the event names are taken from elements of popular video games (Super Effective, Quad Damage, The Klobb, Power Pill, The Hidden Palace, Rush Jet, etc.) The races against Team Nasty (and much of the game itself) are shout-outs to the races in Excite Bike.
 * Spikes of Doom
