'''''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions''''' is a video game made by [[Beenox]] and published by [[Activision]], and is based on the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Spider-Man]]. In the game, [[Applied Phlebotinum|a strange artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos]] is broken into 17 pieces scattered across the [[Marvel Universe|mainstream Marvel]], Marvel Noir, [[Marvel 2099]] and [[Ultimate Marvel]] universes, disrupting reality. The Spider-Men of those four universes must solve this problem by [[Gotta Catch Em All|finding the pieces of the Tablet]] that have fallen in their home worlds into the hands of various supervillains who have received a [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] from the fragments' mystical nature. The four versions of Spider-Man are as follow:
 
 
''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'' is a video game made by [[Beenox]] and published by [[Activision]], and is based on the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Spider-Man]]. In the game, [[Applied Phlebotinum|a strange artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos]] is broken into 17 pieces scattered across the [[Marvel Universe|mainstream Marvel]], Marvel Noir, [[Marvel 2099]] and [[Ultimate Marvel]] universes, disrupting reality. The Spider-Men of those four universes must solve this problem by [[Gotta Catch Em All|finding the pieces of the Tablet]] that have fallen in their home worlds into the hands of various supervillains who have received a [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] from the fragments' mystical nature. The four versions of Spider-Man are as follow:
 
* '''Amazing Spider-Man''' (which is the version from the regular [[Marvel Universe]])
* '''[[Spider -Man: Noir|Noir Spider-Man]]''' (from Marvel's Noir universe)
* '''Spider-Man 2099''' (from [[Marvel 2099]], which [[Captain Obvious|takes]] [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|place]] in 2099)
* '''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]''' (from the [[Ultimate Marvel]] universe)
 
Line 17 ⟶ 15:
* '''Ultimate''': [[Shock and Awe|Electro]], [[Deadpool]], and [[The Virus|Carnage]]
 
The DS version has:
 
* '''Amazing''': [[Mecha-Mooks|The Tinkerer]], [[Elemental Powers|Electro]], and overall [[Big Bad]] [[Magicians Are Wizards|Mysterio]]
Line 25 ⟶ 23:
The game seems to have a follow-up of sorts, with ''[[Spider-Man Edge of Time]]''.
 
Has a [[Spider -Man: Shattered Dimensions (Video Game)/Characters|Character Sheet]] under construction.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Listen carefully to Ultimate Deadpool's fanboys after the first fight with him and you'll realize that one of Deadpool's biggest fans [[X -Men Legends|is]] [[Marvel Ultimate Alliance|himself]].
* [[Adam Westing]]: Stan Lee narrating the game as Himself. He's basically made a second career for himself out of [[Adam Westing]] his corny, over the top personality whenever near a microphone.
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: In the DS Version, Electro is forced to listen to Spider-Man's electric puns from the beginning to the end of their fight. Eventually, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Electro begins pleading for Spider-Man to stop]].
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Kron Stone, aka Scorpion, while he was an unpleasant person before, he just wants to be human again.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: "Remember viewers, I'm also available for Black Op missions, Assassinations and Birthday parties".
* [[Art Shift]]: Each universe has it's own art style. The Amazing Universe seems like a comic book brought to life, the Noir Universe is grainy like an old film, and sort of has a [[Batman: Arkham Asylum]] style, the 2099 Universe looks futuristic and cutting edge, and the Ultimate Universe has the same art style as the [[Ultimate Spider-Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ultimate Spider-Man]] game.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: 2099; expanded upon more in the DS version
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Carnage and Hobgoblin are the most prominent examples.
Line 72 ⟶ 70:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ultimate Spidey. His hazards are Electro (whose powers ''are his weakness''), being fought by a somewhat [[Genre Savvy]] nut that just refuses to shut up, and {{spoiler|not just Carnage, but Slayer robots designed to destroy parasitic organisms... which includes the suit that Ultimate Spidey is wearing}}. [[Kick the Dog|Then he has to outrun tsunamis and collapsing heli-carriers.]] And {{spoiler|Mysterio}} [[Jerkass|disses him on]] [[Berserk Button|his height]].
** Noir as well. He ends up running into a lot of traps. A. LOT. OF. TRAPS.
* [[The Cameo]]: The wall behind Madame Web displays many different iterations of Spider-Man that didn't make it into the game - Amongst them, are [[Spider Girl|Spider-Girl]], Spider-Ham, The Black Spider-Girl from [[Old Man Logan]] and many Spideys from the various ''What If...'' issues Marvel have released over the years.
** Some of the alternate costumes are alternate Spideys too - Namely, [[Marvel 1602|Spider-Man 1602]], [[Marvel Mangaverse|Mangaverse Spider-Man]] and the [[The Clone Saga|Scarlet Spider]].
** Deadpool & Electro make a cameo appearance in Carnage's stage, locked in a cell at the Triskellion.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Deadpool's... ''changed'' since coming back from the dead.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Noir Hammerhead: the game developers thought he'd be a perfect fit for that universe, given his M.O. is emulating 1920s gangsters such as Al Capone. There was also no Hobgoblin equivalent in the [[Marvel 2099]] universe; there was a character merely called Goblin, but he was an analogue to the Green Goblin (Miguel even tells Hobby that he's fought a Goblin before).
** The DS sees Noir versions of Calypso and Boomerang and a 2099 version of Silvermane (though he's also a bit of a subversion as he turns out to be the original, still alive thanks to being a cyborg).
** 2099 will also see a [[Distaff Counterpart|female version of Doctor Octopus]]. Which could mean she's partially inspired by Lady Ock (Doc Ock II in main continuity).
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Given the 2099 universe in the game is based on the traditional ''2099'' universe, the idea of Kron Stone being Scorpion from ''Timestorm 2009-2099'' rather than Venom as in the classic ''2099'' universe could count as this.
Line 97 ⟶ 95:
* [[Cross Through]]: The Spider-Men do not interact with each other until the very end nor do elements of their worlds ever bleed into others' (barring the [[Wolverine Publicity]] below) but the four share the same universe-spanning goal of collecting the Tablet fragments, effectively fitting this game as a Cross Through.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Crouching Moron, Not-So-Hidden Maniac]]: Deadpool
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Noir. His abilities are referred to as the "Curse of Power".
* [[Cyberpunk]]: 2099
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Deadpool always keeps around extra cameras, and at least once in the stage, went for the unconventional approach and whacked Spider Man over the head, leaving him unconscious. He also keeps around a lot of fire, likely due to the fact that's a big weakness for the black suit.
** Hammerhead knows that Spidey Noir's weakness is to be exposed on light. So, what does he do? He fights with a mounted mini-gun and lots and lots of lamps and lights to expose the poor webslinger.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Everything in Noir.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Wouldn't be a [[Spider -Man]] game without one. This game brings FOUR.
** "Wait a minute, this quest involves JUMPING?"
** Madame Web as well. Unsurprising considering that she has to communicate with the four Spideys.
** And, of course, Deadpool.
{{quote| '''Ultimate Spider-Man:''' "Is this how my enemies feel when I won't stop talking?"}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Juggernaut is able to be defeated by Spider-Man because {{spoiler|the power of the fragment clashed with his Crimson Gem's abilities.}}
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Attempting to sequence break in the final battle with {{spoiler|Mysterio}} (mainly by going up to him himself) will result in him damaging you.
Line 120 ⟶ 118:
** "I guess he couldn't take what I was dishing out."
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: Done by Deadpool in his chapter.
* ~[[Don't Explain The Joke~]]:
{{quote| '''Deadpool:''' Hey Spidey! Can I call you Spidey? Thanks for being part of our ''"[[Incredibly Lame Pun|webisode]]".'' See, cause you shoot the web!}}
** Spidey does this quite a bit in Electro's stage.
* [[Doppelganger Spin]]: {{spoiler|Deadpool's fragment powers.}}
* [[Downloadable Content]]: The four Cosmic Spider-Man costumes.
* [[Drunk Withwith Power]]: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|More like Stoned.]]
** Literally with Electro
* [[Dummied Out]]: What do you mean Ultimate isn't in the DS version!?
** And theeeeeere goes the [[Marvel Mangaverse|Manga costume...]]
** The villains to a lesser extent. None of the villains in the console versions appear in the DS version except Mysterio, Electro and Vulture. Even then the latter two are alternate universe counterparts.
* [[Face Palm]]: Ultimate Spider-Man's symbiote suit has only one weakness: electricity. And who is the first villain he fights? [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Electro, Master of Electricity.]] Nice job, MW.
** Not that she had any way of knowing that Electro would get a fragment, but still...
*** The irony? One of the alternative costumes is a Electro-proof suit. [[Lampshade Hanging|The description notes that Ultimate Spidey]] ''[[Now You Tell Me|really]]'' [[Now You Tell Me|wishes that Madame Web had told him about it earlier]]. Not that it has any effect in Electro's stage, but still.
** Then there's the fact that {{spoiler|S.H.I.E.L.D. has anti-symbiote fighter robots}}.
{{quote| '''Spidey''': "I KNEW this suit was a bad idea!"}}
* [[Fan Boy]]: Deadpool's mooks are actually a bunch of Deadpool fanboys.
* [[Film Noir]]: Spider-Man Noir all the way.
* [[Final Boss, New Dimension]]
* [[Finish Him!]]: A non-lethal variety that can be executed when enemies are stunned or close to fainting.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]:
{{quote| '''Deadpool:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}j-877ggYq48&feature{{=}}related Go get him, Beauregard!]<br />
'''Spidey:''' Beauregard?<br />
'''Beauregard:''' RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! }}
* [[Foe Yay]]: Played for laughs with 2099 and Doctor Octopus:
{{quote| '''Doc Ock''': "Babbling jackanape! Must you ruin everything?"<br />
'''2099''': "She likes me. I can tell." }}
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Ever wonder what other [[Batman: Arkham Asylum|recent extremely successful superhero game]] features a vision mode, which allows you to see enemies and important objects through walls? Not to mention the entire Noir segments.
* [[For Science!]]: The S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists' reasons for giving {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster|Carnage]]}} a piece of the Tablet of Order and Chaos leading to {{spoiler|[[Zombie Apocalypse|the zombification of several hundred S.H.I.E.L.D. agents]]}}. Spidey is not amused.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: The reason that Goblin, Vulture and Hammerhead are villains was because they were all in a freak show.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: Electro. [[Watchmen (comics)|Dr Manhattan]] [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|Ken]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]
{{quote| '''Amazing Spider-Man''': I've seen enough scary movies to know that THIS is the moment the monster jumps out at me. ''(Sandman's hand comes out of the ground)'' I KNEW IT!}}
** Hammerhead has his moments, sometimes verging on [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]].
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Spidey Noir has some remarkably mild curses for a gritty 30's gun-toting (in the comics, anyway) vigilante.
Line 164 ⟶ 162:
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: More like Humiliation Conga Line. The ending credits show an increasingly surreal punishments for each villain, like Sandman stuck in an hourglass, Doc Ock acting as mother to her monsters, Carnage posing for pictures, and Goblin back in the circus. Deadpool arguably gets off the easiest; while he still is stuck on a [[Far Side Island]] complete with palm tree, it looks like he's caught a fish, and we all know he has the little yellow boxes to keep him company.
** Deadpool? What about Kraven and Hobgoblin? The former is still able to hunt somewhat and the latter is not only active, but has started a team of Goblins.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Tinkerer loves his [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|robuts.]]
* [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]]: Mocked by - you guessed it - Deadpool:
{{quote| '''Deadpool''': "You know, some people feel like they haven't 'beaten' the game until they found every single available token."}}
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: [[Egomaniac Hunter|Kraven]], naturally.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The entire dialogue in the game is riddled with puns.
* [[Incredibly Obvious Bug]]: The device Silver Sable uses to track Juggernaut is a massive slab of electronics about the size of a hardback book slapped onto ''the back of his head''.
* [[I Surrender, Suckers|I'm Giving You The Fragment, Sucker]]:
{{quote| '''Deadpool''': [[Blatant Lies|Hey, fair's fair, right?]]}}
** Played straight with Noir Hammerhead, who grabs Spider Man and headbutts him after saying "I give! I give!", and even ''calls'' him a sucker.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Noir Vulture. {{spoiler|In Noir Spidey's backstory, he killed and ate Uncle Ben AND NOT IN THAT ORDER.}}
** Arguably, Carnage. {{spoiler|He doesn't really 'eat' his victims, but sucks out their blood.}}
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Silvermane 2099
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Goblin can hurt Noir by SCREAMING at him.
Line 181 ⟶ 179:
** Even more in the DS. Even Spider-Man admits the jokes are reVOLTing.
** When Sandman shows up:
{{quote| '''Amazing Spider-Man''': Marko?... Marko?!<br />
'''Sandman (Flint Marko)''': Polo! }}
* [[Interquel]]: The Ultimate section takes place before the Gwen Stacy clone was purged of Carnage, but not before it imitated her and was captured.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: After Amazing Spider-Man tricks Silver Sable into following Juggernaut's tracker halfway across the city.
{{quote| '''Spider-Man:''' Great! Now it's just him and me.<br />
'''Juggernaut:''' [[You!|YOU!!!]]<br />
'''Spider-Man:''' (nervously) Great! Now it's just him and me. }}
* [[Irony]]: The black suit given to Ultimate Spidey is made to aide him in his quest, sounds good so far. Then we find out that his opponents are Electro, an opponent whose powers are established to be the suit's weakness, Deadpool, whose understanding of the world he's in allows him to figure out what to do against the suit, and in Carnage's stage, the slayer robots will attack you, due to a "symbiotic organism". The suit caused ''more'' trouble.
Line 193 ⟶ 191:
** [[Curse Cut Short|Sonofa...]]
** Played straight later in the level, though, when 2099 manages to get her to spill the beans on her whole plan simply by acting like he finds the whole thing terribly unimpressive, despite her best efforts to explain how complex and innovative her plan is.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: The fights with Carnage.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Carnage, see [[Mood Whiplash]].
** Also, Goblin and Vulture.
Line 205 ⟶ 203:
* [[Melee a Trois]]: Juggernaut vs. Silver Sable vs. Spider-Man; The Public Eye vs. Spider-Man vs. both Hobgoblin and Scorpion; S.H.I.El.D. vs. Carnage vs. Spider-Man.
* [[Mission Control]]: Madame Web, of course.
* [[Moment Killer]]:
{{quote| '''Deadpool:''' "And cut to commercial!"}}
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The second Ultimate Spider-Man segment has Spidey fighting against the wisecracking Deadpool. The third segment involves {{spoiler|Carnage breaking free of his cointainment, slaughtering several agents, and reanimating their corpses.}} Spider-Man is also dead serious during this chapter and even [[Precision F-Strike|lets loose a couple swears.]] Justified, since this is Carnage we're talking about.
** The fact that this came after the segment where {{spoiler|2099 Spidey beats Doc Ock after taunting her playfully}} also counts as an example.
** Within the level too, as outside of cutscenes Spidey continues to fire off the one liners we've heard from him over the course of the two previous levels... except during the fights with {{spoiler|Carnage, where his one liners get to be more serious and threatening rather than facetious and funny.}} A few examples...
{{quote| '''Spidey''' (after knocking Carnage into a turbine.): {{spoiler|I'll stop doing that as soon as you stop surviving it!}}<br />
'''Spidey''': {{spoiler|For once you're not turning into anyone near and dear to me, let's keep it that way."}} }}
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Deadpool just won't stop talking. [[Lampshaded]] by Ultimate Spider-Man:
{{quote| '''Spidey''': "Is there a mute button for him?"<br />
'''Spidey''': "Is this what my enemies think of me?" }}
** Ultimate Spider-Man's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|list of various new names based on trucks that could be used instead of Elctr]]-[[Comically Missing the Point|Oh]].
* [[Mythology Gag]]: As mentioned in "Hey, It's That Voice", every version of Spidey present here is voiced by an actor that has done so for the character in the past. The same can be said for [[Deadpool]] (it seems [[Nolan North]] is becoming Marvel's go-to guy to voice Deadpool, much in the same vein as [[Steven Blum]] as Wolverine and [[Fred Tatasciore]] as the Hulk), [[John Dimaggio|Hammer]][[The Spectacular Spider -Man|head]], [[Fred Tatasciore|Car]][[Marvel Ultimate Alliance|nage]], [[Jennifer Hale|Silver]] [[Ultimate Spider -Man|Sab]][[Spider-Man Friend or Foe|le]], [[Steven Blum]] as a Goblin ([[The Spectacular Spider -Man|even if it was the Green Goblin before]]), and John Kassir as [[X -Men Legends|Deadpool's]] [[Marvel Ultimate Alliance|fanboys]].
** Members of the Enforcers are mentioned during Hammerhead's stage (e.g. one of the Mook conversations is about Fancy Dan, and another is about Snake Marston). The Enforcers were Hammerhead's direct subordinates in ''[[The Spectacular Spider -Man]]'' and the Noir versions worked for Osborn.They are also no strangers to working for Mob bosses.
** When Electro sees Ultimate Spider-Man, he calls him [[The Spectacular Spider -Man|Spectacular Spider-Shmuck]]. As mentioned above, Josh Keaton voiced spidey in Spectacular Spider-Man.
*** And Electro is voiced by the guy who voiced Stan Carter on the same show.
** Ultimate Deadpool makes a LOT of referances to his mainstream counterpart, including his pre-battle cry, "Yay, now is fighty time! FIGHTY TIME! ''Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood!''"
** Also one of Deadpool's fan boys is Deadpool himself, possibly referencing how he likes to [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue|talk to himself.]]
** During the final Hobgoblin battle, Hobby says "Welcome to my reality Spider-Man! Hope you survive the experience!"-a reference to a semi [[Running Gag]] on [[X -Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] comic covers when introducing a new character. ("Welcome to the X-Men (character X)! Hope you survive the experience!")
** One of the achievements is called [[Maximum Carnage|Minimized Carnage]]
*** And one of the Ingame-Achievements (the ones needed to unlock new abilities) is called [[Maximum Carnage]]
Line 229 ⟶ 227:
** Ultimate Spider Man sometimes yells out Venom's classic line of "I'll eat your brains!"
** The quarry in Sandman's level is owned by Roxxon, the [[Mega Corp|huge]] and often evil energy company that operates in the [[Marvel Universe]].
** Two posters for the freakshow in the carnival level stick out- one has a fat man that bears a striking resemblance to X-Men villain Blob, especially fitting since his origin was him as a sideshow freak, and another advertises a [[Fantastic Four|Fantastic ]] rubber man.
** While not definite, it's likely the Juggernaut being in the game is a reference to the Roger Stern story "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut", from Amazing Spider-Man 229-230. It's well remembered, and one of the very few times Spidey and the Juggernaut have faced. In fact, it's climax was at a construction site- the same area where the Juggernaut is faced in SD.
** The achievement for beating the Juggernaut even references the title of this story and it's more recent follow-up.
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]] / [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Doc Ock.
* [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands|New Powers As The Game Demands]]: To keep the four Spider-Men's abilities consistent, Spider-Man 2099 gets spider-sense, while Spidey Noir gets improved web-shooting abilities; the changes are lampshaded by the characters themselves.
** Spider-Man Noir also ''loses'' the revolver he used in the comics, probably because it would have been too difficult to balance and would have shifted the ''Noir'' segments into [[Third-Person Shooter]] territory; after all, the ''[[X -Men Legends]]'' and ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'' games have characters with guns.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] - All of this trouble began because Amazing Spider-Man punched the tablet Mysterio was stealing.
* [[Noble Fugitive]]: Spidey 2099 apparently.
* [[Oh Crap]]: O'Hara has a moment in Scorpion's stage, upon noticing the cracked glass he's standing on.
{{quote| '''Spider-Man 2099''': [[Cluster F-Bomb|"Shock shock shock shock shock shock shock shock!"]]}}
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: WITHOUT PANTS!
* [[Pardon My Klingon]]: Spider-Man 2099 uses the swear words established in Marvel 2099 comics, most notably, "shock" for the f-word.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]] and [[Super Speed]]: Kraven in his rematch.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: From Ultimate Spider-Man's encounter with Electro.
{{quote| "Dude, pants! No one wants to see your junk!"}}
* [[Preorder Bonus]]: Pre-ordering a [[PSPlay Station 3]] or [[Xbox 360]] version from Gamestop gets each character [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|a Cosmic Spider-Man]] [http://www.destructoid.com/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-gets-cosmic-pre-order-169487.phtml costume]. Or, if you order it from Amazon, Spider-Man 2099 gets Spider-Man's [[Marvel Civil War|Iron Spider]] [http://destructoid.com/elephant/photo-m.phtml?post_key=175953_key=145814 costume] unlocked at the beginning, K-Mart will get you the [[The Clone Saga|Scarlet Spider]] [httphttps://s795web.archive.org/web/20200123094419/https://photobucket.com/albums/yy237user/otherside1994/media/scarlet_spider_01.jpg.html costume] for Amazing Spidey.
** Pre-ordering from Best Buy unlocks Noir Spider-Man's [httphttps://s795web.archive.org/web/20200123094344/https://photobucket.com/albums/yy237user/otherside1994/media/500x_negative_zone.jpg.html Negative Zone costume] early. Other costumes that can be unlocked early from pre-orders are the [httphttps://s795web.archive.org/web/20200123094345/https://photobucket.com/albums/yy237user/otherside1994/media/500x_spider_armor_02.jpg.html Spider armor costume] for 2099, and the [[Marvel Mangaverse]] [httphttps://s795web.archive.org/web/20200123094345/https://photobucket.com/albums/yy237user/otherside1994/media/custom_1279911558593_mangaverse.jpg.html costume] for Ultimate.
* [[Psycho Electro]]: Electro, of course.
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]: [[Zig Zagged]]: Played straight by Ultimate and 2099 (destroying the surrondings gives them "Spider Essence"), averted in Amazing's Universe, but Lampshaded as if he would play it straight:
{{quote| '''Amazing Spider-Man''': I'm Spider-man! That's what I do. Break pots! }}
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The most likely reason that Ultimate Spider-man uses the symbiote suit. It also distinguishes him from Amazing Spidey. Madame Webb [[A Wizard Did It|magically]] keeps it from going bad, while retaining its awesome.
* [[Scary Scorpions]]: The Scorpion {{spoiler|and his babies.}}
* [[Shoryuken]]: {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|2099 gets one in on Mysterio.]]}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Kraven finds his [[Green Rocks|fragment of the ToOaC]] on the internet. [[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Now where have we]] [[Fairly Oddparents|heard that before?]]
** Two of the achievements in Ultimate's first stage are called [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|The Blue Bomber and Red Raid]].
** Sandman tries out [[The Mummy 1999 (Film)Trilogy|some new tricks to beat Spider-Man at the sand quarry.]]
** Ultimate Spidey mentions an "[[Electric Light Orchestra|Electro Light Orchestra]]" joke during the first fight with Electro.
** [[The Simpsons (animation)|"Lamest. Supervillian. Ever!"]]
** [[That's So Raven|That's so Kraven!]]
** [[Game Over Man|Game]] [[Subverted Trope|changer,]] [[Alien (Filmfranchise)|man! Game changer!]]
** Doc Ock's fate may be a reference to Octomom.
** Deadpool: [[Popeye (comic strip)|It's like I ate a whole can of spinach!]]
** Mary [[The Jetsons|Jane! Stop this crazy thing!]]
** Spidey shouts out [[The Lord of the Rings|I! SHALL NOT! PASS!]] whenever he comes to an obstacle in the DS version.
** [[Apocalypse Now|I love the smell of burning superhero in the morning. Smells like... BACON!]]
** Amazing: (Upon getting the glide ability) [[Peter Pan|"Do I need to think happy thoughts too?"]]
Line 269 ⟶ 267:
* [[Snakes Are Evil]]: Mysterio seems to have developed a love for reptiles at some point.
* [[Spin Attack]]: The recovery-attack.
* [[Stealth -Based Mission]]: The Noir segments focus on stealth.
* [[Stephen Ulysses Perhero]]: It's not as obvious as her predecessor Octavius, but Doc Ock's real name is Serena Patel. Serena is a homonym for ''[[wikipedia:Cirrina|cirrina]]''.
* [[Sympathy for Thethe Devil]]: 2099 Spidey genuinley feels sorry for Scorpion.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Amazing Spider-Man both lampshades this and subsequently suffers from it in almost every cutscene he's in. Most notable in the Juggernaut's level where this trope is brought up at least 3 times, 2 within the first 10 seconds of the intro cutscene.
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|Hammerhead tries to pull this on Norman after using the power of the tablet. Then along came a Spider...}}
* [[The Television Talks Back]]: Deadpool's also able to break the inner [[Fourth Wall]]:
{{quote| '''Deadpool''': "Next episode we'll welcome a very special guest!"<br />
'''Spider-Man''': [to himself] "Who?"<br />
'''Deadpool''': "''You'', Spider-Man!"<br />
'''Spider-Man''': "Wait, what?!" }}
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Ultimate Spidey
{{quote| "Just. Open. The door."}}
* [[This Is the Part Where]]: See [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: The game strongly implies that the player never kills anyone. This is [[Lampshaded]] in the tutorial, when Spider-Man 2099 throws a [[Mook]] off an elevated bridge, only to have Madame Web whisk him to safety via a dimensional portal.
Line 291 ⟶ 289:
** Silver Sable follows the tracking device she'd placed on Juggernaut to the other side of New York after Spider-Man threw it away to get rid of her. At no point does she question Juggernaut's sudden departure from the construction yard ''without leaving a trail of destruction right in front of her'', or the speed he was moving.
** Very few of the villains in the DS version use their fragment pieces to boost their powers.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Madame Web for enhancing Amazing's Spider-sense, Noir's webbing, giving 2099 a Spider-sense that SLOWS TIME, and giving Ultimate the symbiote which she controls with her mind.
** And while it's never mentioned, where else would Noir Spider-Man suddenly get the ability to stick to walls?
* [[Totally Radical]]: Amazing Spidey will sometimes exclaim "Take this, yo!" while fighting.
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Deadpool and Hammerhead.
* [[Tron Lines]]: 2099 seems to enjoy this a lot.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Implied by Vulture's thugs, they say that he seemed crazier ''than usual''.
Line 301 ⟶ 299:
** Mysterio in the finale. He goes from {{spoiler|what is essentially a ''god''}} to {{spoiler|starting to ''beg'' Spidey to stop fighting him, attempting to bargain with him}}.
** Before you rescue any hostages in Goblin's stage, the Goblin spends his time smugly mocking Spider-Man about the hopelessness of his situation. Rescue a few civilians, and Osborn begins to get a mite upset...
{{quote| '''Goblin''' "He's out there men. He's mocking you! He's mocking '''me'''!"}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Spidey gives one to one the SHIELD scientist who thought it was a good idea to give Carnage a piece of the tablet.
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: In the comics, Noir literally shoots Vulture dead. This is not the case in-game more than likely due to ratings.
Line 311 ⟶ 309:
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: Played with. [[Deadpool]] is in the Ultimate 'Verse as a villain (though acts more like his Mainstream universe counterpart rather than his [[Complete Monster]] Ultimate version), but it's not like Spidey needed help marketing the game.
** Then there's the fact that you can see [[Wolverine]] advertisements in 2099's stages...
** In addition to the [[Hulk]] (The <s>Incredible</s> Amazing version, despite a Hulk already existing in the 2099 universe), [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Storm]], and Black Cat. (This could be another nod to ''Timestorm 2009-2099'', since in that version of 2099 the likenesses of all 2009 heroes were owned by Alchemax and had become their main marketing tool.)
* [[You!]]
* [[You Fight Like a Cow]]: It's Spider-Man times four. It'd be a ''travesty'' if this trope wasn't upheld.
