Adventure Dennis Saves The Mayor is an obscure webcomic about a man, titular Adventure Dennis, on a mission to save the kidnapped mayor. He finds a magic sword and progresses through ten "levels" in the style of an old school Platform Game killing anything that opposes him, or even just happens to be standing in his way. The comic was drawn in MS Paint with much copying and pasting.
It can be found over here.
Tropes used in Adventure Dennis include:
- All There in the Manual: The last section of the book is done in the style of an old game manual and reveals some facts about Dennis. (Unlike the story itself, which explains just about nothing)

- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Adventure Dennis kills several types of yeti including a pirate, a superhero, and a businessman.

- Elevator Action Sequence: The first half of Level X.
