Line 195:
** Every time the Black Baron (stop staring) struts in, horns and drums play. {{spoiler|They also make up his Boss Theme}}.
** The whole hip-hop soundtrack is very guitar heavy. Play it for your friends who like rock!
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: {{spoiler|The Black Baron}}...}} in [[Shock and Awe|every]] [[Made of Iron|sense]] [[Flash Step|of the]] [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|word]]
* [[Lost Forever]]: According to the producers, if you die during the La Lusty Geisha Bistro level, the geisha ''can'' die... and stay dead for the rest of the save file. The only way to save them is to start the game over.
* [[Made of Iron]]: While enemies can survive metal poles to the face...
Line 211:
* [[Mission Control]]: For DeathWatch, Agent XIII; {{spoiler|for the <s>Chasers</s> Bureau, Amala}}.
* [[Monster Mash]]: The whole theme of the castle chapter. Along with zombies, mummies and psychotic drill men. The bosses consist of a pack of werewolves, a Frankenstein's monster and a vampire.
* [[Mook Chivalry]]: Played straight somewhat and subverted. Enemies will take their time to attack on at least the earlier levels during Normal mode (mainly area 1 and 2). Adverted with Hard mode as even simple enemies like the street punks will do huge damage and will actually coordinate their attacks. Sometimes they will [[We Have Reserves|let one of their own be killed]] so they can trap Jack and pummel the crap outta him. This is also played straight when in a [[Press X to Not Die|power]] [[Action Commands|struggle]] with the levels' [[Mini Boss]] (with the exception of [[That One Boss/Beat 'Em Up|Death Blade]]). It justified considering the mini bosses are huge guys and [[Sociopathic Hero|Ja]][[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|ck]] is well... [[Mook Horror Show|Jack]].
* [[Mooks]]: "It's like those guys exist only to be killed by Jack!"
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]:
Line 220:
** [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Played for laughs.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: More like: zombie, punk, robot, grey, soldier, samurai, cowboy, war mech, giant, mutant, sumo, assassin, bounty hunter, pimp and probably a whole lot more... As with everything else, the boss design quite intentionally lacks subtlety.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: There's a reason Thethe Black Baron can take so much abuse from Mathilda.
* [[Pummel Duel]]: Found in the final boss, where if won Jack ends with a [[Cross Counter]].
* [[Punch Clock Hero]]: Jack cares nothing for heroics. {{spoiler|He even abandons Amala for revenge at the game's conclusion}}.
Line 239:
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Subverted, slightly. The Black Baron (stop staring) gets killed so often and is such an over-the-top, comical character that he's not really scary... {{spoiler|Except when you fight him... And the trope gets played straight as all hell when he gets pissed off and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|So Cold]] starts playing}}.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: How many ways can you kill someone?
* [[Short Run in Peru]]
* [[Sickening Crunch]]: [[Captain Obvious|...Yes?]]
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]:
** Played with. When you beat the Shogun and its time to finish him off, he jumps to the top of the roof so that you can dash and slice him to death. Jack knocks him backward onto a conveniently placed spike instead.
** A variation of this appears in the [[Final Boss]], where Jack must try and counter {{spoiler|Thethe Black Baron}} with a [[Cross Counter]]. If he doesn't, he suffers the hand-to-hand combat version of a [[Diagonal Cut]].
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Averted. Not a lot of people thought upbeat hip-hop would mesh well with a beat em' up. Turns out it does! Though it's not all upbeat, especially when it comes to the Castle.
* [[Spank the Cutie]]: As a finisher [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[God Hand]]''.
Line 258 ⟶ 257:
* [[They Killed Kenny Again]]:
** ''How'' many times does the Black Baron (stop staring) get maimed AND killed, again? {{spoiler|Although his final boss status suggests [[Badass|he can take it]]}}.
** Same with Kreese... If we choose to believe everything he says before some bosses. Kreese apparently uses the Extra Lives. Same might apply for Thethe Black Baron.
{{quote|'''Kreese:''' I used an extra life once and came back as a roach.
'''Howard:''' Sounds like you got the "Wheel of Karma" extra life.
Line 267 ⟶ 266:
{{quote|Jack: A mad world, huh? Hm. I'll fit right in.}}
** Also happens within the soundtrack itself on several songs.
** Also can happen while fighting {{spoiler|Thethe Black Baron}}. Some power struggles result in Jack knocking his teeth out which spell out "Madworld" as they fly by.
* [[Trademark Favourite Food]]: Jack is often seen chowing down on onions. They even restore him to full health.
* [[Turns Red]]: Almost every boss or mini boss does this when hit hard enough. For example, Bib Bull Crocker's eyes will glow white when damaged enough or stabbed with a caution sign.
