Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...'' }}

 

 

 

Really, the whole game is one big moment of hilarity from start to finish, from the underground colony of furries to the ruins of [[New Neo City|Proto-Neo-New York]] and beyond. It has to be seen to be believed. {{spoiler|Oh, and did we mention that the events of ''[[Space Jam]]'' are canonical to the game's timeline?}} The full title is ''Tales of Game's Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley [[SaGa]]''.

=== This game uses some of these tropes: ===

* [[After the End]]: Specifically, After The End of The Revolutionary War.

* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]

* [[Action Commands]]: The attacks in the game are made stronger by well-timed button presses of various sorts, similar to [[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]].

* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: Clispaeth.

* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] \ [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: The Chaos Dunk.

* [[Depending on the Artist]]: Within ''the same game'', many characters are depicted as looking radically different in their different sprites. Between Balthios's portrait, overworld, and battle sprites, his hair goes from [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|long and white]] to short and black to short and white, respectively. Also, Hoopz's overworld sprites look nothing like how he does in-battle and in his portrait. Put simply, Cyberdwarf is the ''only'' character who has any degree of correlation between sprites and picture. Invoked from the start, where Hoopz turns into the "generic basketball player" sprite and back when showing Barkley his skills.

* [[Developer's Room]]: {{spoiler|It's located in scenic Hell.}}

* [[No Fair Cheating]]: If you quit and restart the game after losing money gambling, the gambler will come up to you, take all your money, and auto-save the game.

* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The soundtrack's metadata is full of vaguely obscene, badly typed nonsense, most of which has nothing to do with the music at all (with a few exceptions like '[[Blatant Lies|Hilarious]] [[Dark Reprise|Georgia Brown]]', [[Blue Dragon|'jesus christ the guy from deep purple sang this']], and the simply titled [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|'sad']]).

** {{spoiler|Kurt Cobain}}

* [[No Time to Explain]]: The cyberdwarf says this about taking Hoops to the church. However, before doing that you do have time to complete an unrelated dungeon.

* [[Press X to Not Die]]: To be fair, you get one mistake. Not so fair: this is almost the ''first interactivity'' the game has. Expect to play through the chase sequence a few times.

* [[Product Placement]]: Parodied; the game's most potent healing item is a Burger King Chicken Fry. Not an entire carton, ''just one''. It cures death, maxes out health and magic, and cures all status effects, for the whole party. The second-strongest healing item is the greasy "dew" left behind by a Chicken Fry.

* [[Putting on the Reich]]: The B-Ballnacht

* [[Real Person Fic]]: Well, duh.
