Burrito Bison

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Burrito Bison is a 2D Flash "launching" game made by Juicy Beast. Basically, the objective of the game is to launch the titular Bison across Candy Land in hopes of escaping this mad land - all the while evading the gummy bear police and crushing as many gummy bears as possible. Aiding him on his quest are the various power-ups (held by certain gummies) and the various buyable upgrades. In other words, it's a simplistic game with an original twist that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but refreshes it in a nice manner.

The game can be played here. A sequel, Burrito Bison Revenge, can be played here, where the masked luchador goes back into Candy Land when he finds out that he left his wallet in it and now can't pay for his supermarket bill.

Tropes used in Burrito Bison include:
  • Bigger on the Inside: Candy Land itself as the size of it outside is smaller than the Bison himself. When inside however...
  • The Cameo: Berzerker, the Mascot of Berzerk Studios, is one of the opponents Burrito can face in the ring in Revenge.
  • Cardboard Prison: You would think the gummy police wouldn't take Burrito back to his launching pad...
  • Dirty Cop: Revenge introduces corrupt cops that give Burrito Bison an extra Rocket Slam when he squishes them.
  • Do Well, But Not Perfect: A good amount of the Achievements in Revenge require you to squash ground-based enemies, requiring you to avoid getting airborne.
    • A notable one late in the game requires you to obtain a Sweet Impact while going as slow as possible, meaning you have to be really good at getting airborne, but somehow avoid picking up speed.
  • Everything's Worse with Bears: Gummy bears to be precise.
  • Excuse Plot: Burrito Bison is merely pacing through the supermarket, when he gets pulled into a bag of candy and ends up at a fighting ring in Candy Land. He must now try to get home again! The plot for the sequel is even worse, with Bison returning to Candy Land merely because he forgot his wallet there...entirely disregarding the hundreds of thousands of dollars he gains from squishing gummies.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: The way the Bison takes out his enemies.
  • I Fought the Law and the Law Won: Only applies in the original. In fact, it gets inverted in Revenge.
  • Incendiary Exponent: In Revenge, with the Pants on Fire upgrade, the bison gains the ability to turn into an unstoppable ball of fire for a limited time if he manages to maintain high speed for long enough.
  • Level Ate: Practically the entire game (barring half of the intro).
  • Limit Break: "Pants on fire" upgrade in Revenge.
  • Made of Iron: The worst injuries Burrito has are a few gashes on his arm after he smashes through the mirror at the end.
    • Doubly so in Revenge. After every launch, when he comes to a bumpy, bleeding halt... he stands up, dusts himself off, and runs back to the ring for his next launch. Bear in mind, many launches see him at the center of multiple explosions.
  • Masked Luchador: The titular Bison once more.
  • Money Spider: Apparently, all gummy bears (barring the police and a few of the special ones) have cash on them. A few carry bags of cash, which do exactly what you'd think they'd do.
  • Rolling Attack: The chili pepper powerup or "sweet impact" in revenge.
  • Sugar Apocalypse: They brought it on themselves.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: In Revenge, you can find a gummy riding a Pop Tart. If you hit it, a tune that sounds much like the NyanCat song plays while Burrito Bison has a little rainbow-filled flight.
  • Top-Heavy Guy: Burrito Bison.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Sure, a new challenger to fight Jawbreaker probably looked like a good idea on paper. The gummies probably didn't expect what would happen next.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: Remember Jawbreaker from the first game? In Revenge, he is back... As a cyborg!
  • Your Exit Is In Another Wall: Don't let the first door fool you. Don't let the second wall fool you either.
