''Awesome Possum... Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt'' is a 1993 platformer by Tengen for the [[Sega Genesis]]. You play as the titular possum, fighting against [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|Dr. Machino]] and his robot army as they despoil the environment. This is not all he fights against; in addition to robots and traps, he must struggle with slippery controls, clipping issues, slowdown, poor hit detection, sloppy level design, and voice samples that insist on reminding the player that Awesome Possum has 'tude.
This game was created during the [[Mascot

{{tropelist}}
* [[Boss Rush]]: Awesome Possum refaces all the past bosses in the last round before Dr. Machino.
▲* [[Badbutt]]: As with most [[Mascot With Attitude]] era protagonists.
* [[Down in
* [[Everything's Worse
▲* [[Down in The Dumps]]: "Dr. Machino's Domain" and "[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|The Fortress of Garbage]]" an actual landfill complete with the additional [[Always Night|dark skies]], [[Always Chaotic Evil|menacing mechas]] and [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|jefferies tubes]], a likely sort that makes the place very reminiscent of a certain [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles (Video Game)|final zone]].
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Dr. Machino is polluting the environment! Go through levels and stop him!
▲* [[Everything's Worse With Bees]]: You'll face more than one giant, deformed bee over the course of the game.
* [[Goomba Stomp]]: Despite having a spin-attack like Sonic, this is Awesome's method of attack.
* [[Green Aesop]]: Not just the storyline, either. Every level ends with a quiz about the environment.
* [[Jungle Japes]]: The first level takes place in the Amazon Rainforest, where deforestation is taking place.
* [[Literal Ass-Kicking]]: As part of the ending, while a chorus sings the game's title, just like it does when the game starts up.
* [[Mascot with Attitude]]: Awesome Possum plays this as straight as an arrow, from his appearance, attitude, and his own name.
* [[Mecha
* [[Polluted Wasteland]]: What Dr. Machino is turning the world into.
* [[Pop Quiz]]: Every round ends with a bonus question about the environment, which will reward the player with bonus points if answered correctly.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: The speed boost. Considering how touchy the controls are, all the speed boost does is send Awesome Possum careening into either a bottomless pit or an enemy.
* [[Powerup Mount]]: Assorted animals.
* [[Rushmore Refacement]]: [[Hypocritical Humor|You celebrate your victory by desecrating more of the environment
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: The third level takes place on the oil rigs of [[Antarctica]].
* [[Spikes of Doom]]
* [[Spoiler Title]]
