Line 32:
* [[Boomerang Comeback]]: The opening cinematic in TY 1, it actually knocked Boss Cass out of his [[Humongous Mecha]]. Pity about his remote, really...
* [[Cardboard Obstacle]]: Technically concrete, but it fences you off from getting the uber-rangs until about halfway through the second and third game.
* [[Check Point]]: If you die, you simply pop out at the nearest... er, dunny. In the first game your exit out of the Aussie outhouse was preceded by a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|relieved sigh]].
* [[Cheeky Mouth]]: Just find a picture of Ty gritting his teeth the way he does in the above image, but facing head on.
** Opening his mouth mid-bite attack does not count.
Line 53:
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: Sly in TY 1, CY in TY 2, {{spoiler|the Quinking}} in TY 3.
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Shazza, in two of the three games. In the first one she was only in danger for a quick fight, in the third she was gone for ''half the game''.
* [[Dual
* [[Easter Egg]]: Shazza's old, rickety Jeep has cameos in TY 2 and TY 3. In TY 3, {{spoiler|Shazza's trusty Fourbie can be seen next to an decrepit building, completely stripped}}.
* [[An Economy Is You]]: Crosses over with [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]] with some of the asking prices.
Line 60:
* [[Escort Mission]]: Dennis, in all three games.
* [[Everything Fades]]: Opals, your currency in the second and third games, will disappear if left alone long enough. Also applies to your defeated enemies, who vanish in a puff of smoke.
* [[
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: '''What'''? How ''dare'' you imply that '''Boss Cass''' is the ''least'' bit hammy, you '''''moronic nincompoop'''''!
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Boss Cass likes this, yes he does.
Line 68:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: More like Fantastic Speciesism, and related to the below [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]], you only see ''two frill lizards'' that are good. Shouldn't there be more lurking around somewhere?
** The end of TY 3 averts this a ''little'', as you see a young frill on the same playground as the mammals. For a fraction of a second.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Your boomerangs come in, yep, fire, ice, and electricity, as did the Thunder Eggs and opals you collected in the first game. Interestingly enough, concept art for the opals showed one of the ''earth'' element, which might have matched up with the exploding Kaboomerang...
* [[Flamboyant Gay]]: Dennis the cheapskate, I mean ''green tree frog''. It's not stated, but he seems a safe bet. The same goes for his nephew...
** Hinted at further when you retrieve a Thunder Egg in the third game. So far, they've all been color coded: red for fire, blue for ice, green for... electricity, and several gold ones were used as medals. The ones Dennis tasks you with finding? ''Pink''.
Line 93:
* [[Hollywood Science]]: The boomerangs, the portals, the "energy from <s> geodes</s> 'Thunder Eggs'", the [[Mini Mecha|bunyips]], any of the inventions...
* [[High Altitude Battle]]: In a cross between a jet and a ship from R-Type.
* [[Highly
* [[Hijacked By Ganon]]: Guess who let the Quinkan into Southern Rivers. Go on. Guess.
* [[Hundred Percent Completion]]: It can take ''years'' to completely finish the first game.
Line 118:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Julius' uncle Karlos, who despite being mammalian helps Boss Cass. We're never given a credible reason why [[Freudian Excuse|except for young Julius being a far brighter scientist at a much younger age]].
* [[Meaningless Lives]]: At least in TY 1, it's near-impossible to run out. Not so much in the sequels.
* [[Mecha Mooks]]: The robots faced in the [[Mini Mecha|bunyips]]. More of an obstacle and annoyance than a credible threat, and that's even when you're using the bunyip designed to [[Super
* [[Mercy Invincibility]]: Lasts juuuuuust long enough for you to pummel whatever dared hurt you.
* [[Mini Mecha]]: The Bunyips from the sequel.
* [[Money for Nothing]]: Opals litter the streets and every area you come across. Oh, and they respawn.
* [[More Dakka]]: You can acquire boomerang sets that let you fling at least four at once. Some will home in on enemies before returning. ''[[What Do You Mean
* [[Multi Mook Melee]]: They're pushovers.
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The hidden ending clip to TY 1 shows CY being ominously activated, leading to the logical conclusion it'd play a large part in the next game. It didn't.
Line 128:
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: Boss Cass' fortresses tend to have an overabundance of lava, suspended platforms over it with no railings, flamethrowers aimed at said platforms, air strikes, swarms of [[Killer Robot|Killer Robots]] standing around, legions of [[Mook|mooks]], [[Spikes of Doom]]...
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: A major part of [[Large Ham|Boss Cass's personality]]. And the games are better for it.
* [[Non
* [[Numbered Sequels]]
* [[One
* [[Pass Through the Rings]]: The racing segments of TY 1. Also, the dive from the tower later in the same game.
* [[Personal Space Invader]]: On foot, leeches and ticks, which cling to your face until you shake them off. On your [[Mini Mecha|Bunyip]], the [[Mooks]] will latch onto your mech's head. Also, the Drop Bears in TY 3, who'll, well... drop onto you. Then start playing drums with your skull.
Line 170:
* [[Wallet of Holding]]: The opals. [[Overly Long Gag|This is]] ''[[Overly Long Gag|what]]'' [[Overly Long Gag|number again]]?
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: If you can knock any frill or Quinkan, Uber or otherwise, into water, it's instant death. This also goes for lava, which is mighty strange for the Uber Frills that can breathe ice at you or the molten-rock based Quinkan.
* [[What the Hell, Player?]]: It gets downright comedic in the third game, where whacking your [[Friend to All Living Things]] ally Ranger Ken with an exploding rang fills the shaking screen with smoke and fire... and his response is "That one ''hurt''!" You might as well [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|run around every game, smacking your allies repeatedly]]. Oh, and [[Aloof Big Brother|Sly]]'s reaction to being blown up? "Good one, bro!"
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Cassopolis in TY 2.
* [[You All Look Familiar]]: Just follow any wandering citizen of Burramudgee around in TY 2. There's only a few characters, but at least their appearance isn't recycled. Except for the enemies, the koala workers, the dinosaurs... There are sometimes bugs that cause clones of the characters to walk around. Most noticably, this happens with Sheila.
