'''''Abobo's Big Adventure''''' is a
The game stars Abobo, the notorious [[Giant Mook]] of ''[[Double Dragon]]'', in a quest to save his son Aboboy who has been kidnapped by a bunch of goons. He starts in the familiar streets of the game he came from, but eventually finds himself stuck in several classic NES titles such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Contra]]'', ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' and many more, smashing and killing everything in sight to find and destroy his son's kidnappers.
''Abobo's Big Adventure'' quickly became popular on ''[[Newgrounds]]'', being voted as Daily Feature and Weekly Users' Choice in a matter of days. If you want to experience it yourself, [http://www.abobosbigadventure.com/ here's the official site].
=== ABOBO SMASH PUNY TROPES! ===▼
* [[Abnormal Ammo]] - The gun that shoots [[Lemmings]].
** Abobo even has an [[Abnormal Ammo|Abnormal Weapon]]. During the suiting up montage, which is clearly an ode to ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', Abobo arms himself with a spatula, a kitchen utensil, instead of a combat knife.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Ascended Glitch]] - In the original NES Double Dragon there was the so-called "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAesSVDb8ZA&feature=related Elevator Glitch]". ''Abobo'' has kept it, only this time it gives you an achievement and lets you crash a...um... private party.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: {{spoiler|the hugeass shark, the Old Man in Old Giant form, and notably the gigantic Kirby.}}
* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]}}- During the credits, in reference to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
* [[Background Boss]] - {{spoiler|A truly enormous Kirby.}}
* [[Badass]]: Abobo, natch
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Breakout Mook Character]] - In ''Double Dragon'', Abobo was just a [[Giant Mook]] who smashed walls and got his ass handed to him by the Lee brothers. Now he does essentially the same things to other NES characters as a protagonist!
* [[Coup De Grace Cutscene]]
* [[Credits Gag]] - As stated above, the end credits are inspired by the ones from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. {{spoiler|The "cast roll" includes totally unrelated pop culture icons such as Skeletor and Inspector Gadget in between the boss characters, followed by Aboboy and Abobo themselves, then pictures of the development team, and finally, the special thanks, before ending with the words "[[The Goonies|Goonies never say die!]]".}} It's charming in its own way.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]] - Abobo vs. the guy from ''Urban Champion''. {{spoiler|The [[Trope Namer]] ''[[American History X]]'' is referenced in the ending when Aboboy literally curb-stomps [[DuckTales (1987)|Scrooge McDuck]]}}.
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: As a brief joke during the intro: one of the few possible NES characters appears in the open doorway during the beginning of the intro, making it seem that the intro text could be talking about them, but as the screen starts scrolling upwards, they quickly end up being scrolled offscreen and let out a quick "aww!".
* [[Death From Above]]: The Rage Move in the Contrabobo level is a bomber plane that torches the screen with a carpet bombing.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]] - In the first stage, Double Drabobo, Abobo will die if he falls into the hole next to the conveyor belt. However, {{spoiler|after Abobo defeats Shooter Gavin, a forklift with a pile of TNT runs into a pile of TNT. Abobo then fell into the hole because of the explosion,}} but he didn't die and {{spoiler|falls into a room below}}, which has a pipe that leads to the next stage.
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]] - Abobo does not care about any bystanders he finds on his way to rescue Aboboy. They will be destroyed as gratuitously as the actual opposition, in [[Bloody Hilarious]] ways.
* [[Hollywood Acid]] - In the "Punch Abobo" level, if you lose to {{spoiler|Little Mac}} by decision (there's no way to win by decision, BTW), referee Mario will push the green button on a hanging switch, that will open the floor underneath Abobo, which contains Hydrochloric Acid, reducing him to only his skeleton. Afterwards, {{spoiler|Little Mac}} will then punch Mario into the acid.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: See [[Bloody Hilarious]]
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]] - The first boss gets impaled on a forklift truck. Also, the Amazon.
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: the giant laser Rage Move in Megabobo.
* [[Kill'Em All]] - Boy howdy.
* [[Latex Perfection]] - After the Zeldabobo stage, Abobo finds his son tied to a chair (hidden in the ''[[Kung
* [[Like Father, Like Son]] - Abobo and Aboboy enjoy killing everyone and everything in sight.
* [[Limit Break]] - When Abobo's Rage meter gets filled all the way, he can perform a powerful Super move based on the stage he's in.
* [[Loading Screen]] - While the game is loading, Abobo tries to get a copy of his own game to work on a NES, by blowing on the cartridge and repeatedly pushing the Power button. This gives the impression that we are playing as Abobo [[Recursive Reality|playing ''Abobo's Big Adventure'' on the NES]], {{spoiler|confirmed when we see Abobo's hands holding the NES controller while inputting the [[Konami Code]]}}.
* [[Made of Iron]] - The Amazon, that yellow fish-dude from ''Pro Wrestling'', is incredibly tough. Not only he is unaffected by any attacks during the Balloon Fight phase, he manages to survive a very violent wrestling match with Abobo, including when he basically nukes the arena with his Rage finishing move. However, the [[Spikes of Doom]] from Mega Man are too much even for him.
** Abobo himself. {{spoiler|During the fight with Little Mac, the right side of his face can be reduced to his bare skull and he'll fight completely unhindered.}}
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
* [[Multi-Take Cut]] - The [[Coup De Grace Cutscene]] for the [[Final Boss]] shows Abobo's uppercut close in at four different angles. Those same four angles are then shown again in quick succession, this time with the punch connecting.
* [[Nintendo Hard]] - Ultimately averted: the game isn't easy, but it is far less frustrating than many of the titles that inspired it, plus it has an autosave feature that lets you continue from the last level reached. Still, some people think it's too hard, and the Balloon Fight/Pro Wrestling level is overall pretty difficult since you die in 2 hits in the first part, dying at the second part forces you to do the first one again and naturally you can't skip to the second part right away from stage select. {{spoiler|You ''can'' skip to the second part by pressing 1 while on the first part, though.}}
* [[
* [[Nostalgia Level]] - Every level is based on one (or more) popular NES titles, with the original music and all.
* [[Notice This]] - The pushable blocks in the Zeldabobo dungeon flash every few seconds.
Line 82 ⟶ 81:
* [[Portmanteau]] - Each of the eight mixed up worlds that Abobo must fight his way through, and adapt to, as each level has its own gameplay style, is short for the following: Double Dragon Abobo (Double Drabobo), Super Mario Bros. Abobo (Super Mabobo), Urban Champion Abobo (Urban Chabobo), The Legend of Zelda Abobo (Zeldabobo), Pro Wrestling Abobo (Pro Wrabobo), Mega Man Abobo (Mega Mabobo), Contra Abobo (Contr Abobo), and Punch-Out!! (Punch Abobo).
** The developers of the game dubbed the theme song (which is entirely original) "The Abobo Boogie", or "The Aboboogie" for short.
* [[The Power of Hate|The Power of Rage]]: It's what fuels his Limit Breaks (possibly a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Final Fantasy VII]], due to [[Limit Break
* [[Punny Name]] - {{spoiler|Little Mac}}'s beefed-up [[One-Winged Angel]] form is called {{spoiler|Big Mac}}.
* [[Reference Overdosed]] - [http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp32/Lord_Feder/ABOBO.png This picture] is just the tip of the iceberg.
Line 92 ⟶ 91:
* [[Shoot the Messenger]] - Abobo can do this literally in the "Zeldabobo" level.
{{quote|'''Mr. Informer''': ''ROT IN HELL ABOBO !!!!''}}
* [[Shout-Out]] - There are simply far too many to be listed in this page. But for starters, the title is a reference to the film, ''[[Pee
* [[Signature Laugh]] - Abobo during the Punch Abobo level, and ending.
* [[Spin Attack]]: Several Rage Moves, such as spinning to create a huge water funnel or causing a Death Blossom of flying projectiles. The {{spoiler|Old Man clones in second form}} can spin with their sword extended.
