''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].

 

* [[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.

* [[All Your Powers Combined]] - In the Punch Abobo level, Abobo has the special rage attacks, characteristics, and mannerisms of all the non-Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream opponents in the NES version of ''Punch-Out!!'', except, of course, for Glass Joe. He has Von Kaiser's intro music, Piston Honda's intro music/bandana/eye twitching and Hurricane Rush rage attack, Don Flamenco's intro music/flower dance and Flamenco Punch rage attack, King Hippo's intro music/jaw opening and closing and straight punch rage attack, Great Tiger's turban and disappearing/reappearing five-punch rage attack, Soda Popinski's laugh for whenever he knocks out {{spoiler|Little Mac}}, Mr. Sandman's Dreamland Express rage uppercuts, Super Macho Man's manboob shaking and rage spin punches, and of course, Bald Bull's sprite/taunt pose, and the special rage attack he delivers to {{spoiler|Little Mac}}, at the very end of the match, where {{spoiler|he bull charges right towards him, and sends his head flying with an uppercut courtesy of the Power Glove.}}

* [[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.

* [[Background Boss]] - {{spoiler|A truly enormous Kirby.}}

* [[Badass]]: Abobo, natch

* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Little Mac.}}

* [[Beam Spam]]: the Death Blossom Rage Move.

** [[Alien Hominid|Possibly a tribute to another game that started out on newgrounds, since in the original version of alien hominid, it was possible to do the same thing to the first character encountered, a small child.]] That is, eating a child's head, not using it as a projectile.

* [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow]] - Literally appears on the screen while Abobo's, er, mating with Annie the mermaid.

* [[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]]

* [[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.

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]] - Abobo's first [[Limit Break|Rage Move]] is a rain of huge stone boulders.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] - The Zelda dungeon has a familiar {{spoiler|phallic}} shape.

* [[Doppelganger Attack]]: {{spoiler|the Old Man splits into three Old Men wielding swords.}}

* [[Expy]] - [http://www.i-mockery.com/romhacks/babydodgeball/12a.gif Aboboy] is based on Rajiv (the captain of Team India) from Technos' ''Super Dodge Ball''. Rajiv was the strongest captain of the strongest team in the game, so it makes perfect sense. Just slightly recolor his skin, replace his team outfit with small blue shorts, leave his pink slippers alone, and voila, Aboboy!

* [[Gameplay Roulette]] - As every level is based upon a different NES title with its own gameplay and style, it is to be expected.

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] - Most of the enemies and bosses are completely random and often have nothing to do with the stages. [[Rule of Fun|All part of the fun, though]].

** As stated above, you can also throw the bodies of random kids at enemies...[[Refuge in Audacity|once you eat their heads first.]]

* [[Groin Attack]] - Aboboy is kicked in the crotch by a mook and then kidnapped in the opening cutscene of the game.

* [[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.

* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: See [[Bloody Hilarious]]

* [[Item Get]] - Occurs in the Zeldabobo level.

* [[Joke Level]] / [[Breather Level]] - The level based on ''Urban Champion'' can't be lost no matter what, and our opponent can't even harm Abobo. This can be also a [[Take That]] to ''Urban Champion'' itself, which kind of sucked and was one of [[Nintendo]]'s weakest titles.

* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: the giant laser Rage Move in Megabobo.

* [[Kill'Em All]] - Boy howdy.

* [[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.

* [[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.}}

* [[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.

* [[Oh Crap]] - Can be read on the faces of the NES characters in the ending when they realize that {{spoiler|Abobo and his son are going to murder every single one of them.}}

* [[One-Winged Angel]] - {{spoiler|The Old Man}} of the Zeldabobo level goes into two advanced forms during the battle with him, Robobobo turns into a much bigger robot [[Terminator 2|made of liquid metal]], while {{spoiler|Little Mac}} of the final stage has a {{spoiler|Big Mac}} form that he goes into upon {{spoiler|getting knocked down twice}}.

* [[Overly-Long Fighting Animation]] - The Rage Move for the Level 5 boss fight, in which Abobo {{spoiler|summons the [[Ultimate Warrior]], "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, [[The Undertaker]], and [[Hulk Hogan]] to give the Amazon a [[Humiliation Conga]] before Abobo himself gives him a giant piledriver that destroys the stadium}}.

* [[Palette Swap]] - Abobo's sprite in ''Punch Abobo'' is clearly a swap of Bald Bull's sprite.

* [[Pet the Dog]] - If you wait a few seconds when told to [[Mortal Kombat|finish off]] the Urban Champ, the game flashes an alternate button input prompt: following those directions allows Abobo to use Johnny Cage's Friendship instead.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Saved From Development Hell]]

* [[Shoot the Messenger]] - Abobo can do this literally in the "Zeldabobo" level.

* [[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.

* [[Stationary Boss]] - Krangby a.k.a. {{spoiler|Kirby inside [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Krang]]'s giant humanoid robot}}.

* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]] - Whenever you use the Rage Move. It even changes for each level. Averted in the final level, however.

* [[Tempting Fate]] - The Amazon boasts that his jetpack will never run out of fuel. *sput* *sput* Uh oh...

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Abobo in general is very fond of overkill, but the fate of the unfortunate Amazon takes the cake: {{spoiler|assaulted by four wrestlers one after the other, then slammed from immense height into the floor hard enough to cause a massive explosion, bursting through the floor and getting impaled by a cluster of spikes.}}

* [[Unstoppable Rage]] - Abobo's basic emotion.

* [[Video Game Achievements]]

* [[Villain Protagonist]] - Abobo isn't really any nicer to innocent bystanders than the mooks he gratuitously slaughters, and will happily kill anyone in his way just for the sake of doing it. This is, of course, [[Played for Laughs]].
