''Fancy Pants Adventures'' is a series of [[Platformer]] [[Web Games]] created by Brad Borne. The games concern the title stick figure [[Captain Obvious|with orange pants]] running around trying to wake a giant penguin (in ''[http://armorgames.com/play/301/fancy-pants-adventures World 1]'') take back his beloved ice cream from a rabbit (in ''[http://armorgames.com/play/553/the-fancy-pants-adventure-world-2 World 2]''), or save [[
While it started out on [[
Fancy Pants Man is also playable in ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/381115 Newgrounds Rumble]'' (as of its May 30th, 2008 update) and {{spoiler|''[[Shift]] [http://armorgames.com/play/1846/shift-3 3]''}} (as a [[New Game+]] [[Secret Character]]).
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: If Fancy Pants Man falls asleep facing left, the 'z's that float up turn into 's'es.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Fancy Pants Man can collect more pants colors.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Fancy Pants Man's [[Spiky Hair]].
* [[Art Evolution]]: Borne posted a YouTube clip of the many rough drafts of the ''Fancy Pants'' games, lamenting over their lack of quality. Each game since the first has progressed in variation, detail (like Squiggleville), and animation. Even for a stick figure, Fancy Pants Man has evolved significantly from his original incarnation.
* [[Benevolent Architecture]]: Many of the locations just happen to be perfect for preforming reality-defying stunts while still acting as a coherent platformer.
* [[Bottomless Pits]]: In the first two games, falling into a pit immediately takes a life away. The second game's snail-shell can be lost to these pits, requiring Fancy Pants Man to reroute to put the snail shell in the golf hole. The third game is more infrequent and forgiving with bottomless pits, being nonexistent in primary levels.
** [[Non Lethal Bottomless Pits]]: In challenges that have bottomless pits, falling into one just returns Fancy Pants Man to a checkpoint without losing health or lives (though timed challenges will still continue).
* [[Collision Damage]]
Line 22:
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Present in all three games:
** ''World 1'': you're trying to wake up and fight a giant penguin.
** ''World 2'': you're trying to take back your stolen ice cream from a rabbit.
** ''The Fancy Pants Adventures'' (or ''World 3''): The king's bathtub is stolen. Get it back. Later on, [[Save the Princess|Cutie Pants is kidnapped]].
* [[Flunky Boss]]: The rabbit from ''World 2'' drops down spiders and snails when it hops, which allows Fancy Pants Man to [[Tactical Suicide Boss|kick the snail shells back at it]]. The pirate captain in ''World 3'' does this unintentionally when ninjas enter when he jumps, but his [[Shockwave Stomp|beard-wave]] dispatches them soon afterward.
Line 36:
* [[Le Parkour]]: Exaggerated; not only can Fancy Pants Man wall-jump, preform backflips, and hop from platform to platform in the course of normal gameplay, ''World 2'' has an area in level 5 where he runs continuously while completely upside down.
* [[Playable Menu]]: The main menu is a small box where Fancy Pants Man can navigate and open the doors to the various sections of the game.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The games' design started as a cross between the ''[[Super Mario Bros
* [[Spikes of Doom]]: Normally nonexistent, but ''World 2'''s Afro Ninja course and the bottom of a section of a challenge area in ''World 3'' has them.
* [[Springs Springs Everywhere]]: Frequently used to get to high places.
Line 47:
=== ''World 1'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: The wall-jump secret area employs ink in the form [[Rise to
* [[Airborne Mook]]: The [[Buffy-Speak|bat-looking things]] in World 1's final stage.
* [[Bullfight Boss]]: The penguin. [[Lampshade Hanging|It even makes bull horns with its fingers.]]
Line 74:
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: While [[Annoying Younger Sibling|annoying]] and distressed at first, Cutie Pants is no slouch in following her brother's fanciness.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Kabootle to Rainbowbeard, which [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|distracts him from escape]].
* [[
* [[Expressive Accessory]]: Rainbowbeard's hat.
* [[Fang Thpeak]]: The Bat-Spider in Misplaced Cave engages in this.
Line 88:
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: Present; while the loading screens aren't too long, moving from one area to another rather frequently compound the time waited at these screens.
* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: A bunch of springs, Squiggles, and a star can be seen in the background of the latter half of Squiggleville. They correlate with an accessible, but inconspicuous area.
* [[Message in
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Rainbowbeard (initially) has a rainbow-colored beard.
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: Cutie Pants wears a dress.
* [[Non
* [[Nutty Squirrel]]: The squirrel on the balloon in Canopy Forest ''really'' wants to be a flying squirrel.
* [[Offscreen Start Bonus]]: This trope is discussed in Pirate Cove, where an individual in the wall of enemies comments on how [[When All Else Fails Go Right|moving left from your spawn point]] would be completely unintuitive to continuing the game.
Line 104:
* [[Temporary Platform]]: Thin sand platforms in Bummin' It Beach crumble when Fancy Pants Man steps on them. The thicker ones, oddly, do not.
* [[Thundering Herd]]: The big cloud of pirates that decide on kidnapping Cutie Pants as their new captain.
* [[Unmoving
* [[Unwanted Rescue]]: Cutie Pants finds {{spoiler|reigning over pirates}} better than she thought; she repeatedly demands that she won't return home. After all, why would she be subject to Fancy Pants Man's annoyance when she could have independence at her whim?
* [[Video Game Settings]]:
