Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~gears1_7651~~gears1 7651.jpg\|link=The Great Mouse Detective\|~~right~~frame]] When a character enters a factory or, more often, a [[Clock Tower]], it usually results in the character riding on the moving gears and other machines to get through it. May overlap with [[Clock Punk]] and [[Eternal Engine]]. May also be related to [[No OSHA Compliance]] if it involves workers riding around on the gears. {{examples~~\|Examples of this trope~~}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼ * In ''[[The Castle of ~~Cagliostro\|The Castleof~~ Cagliostro]]'', The Count and his men pursue Lupin, up the castle's clock tower, as he attempts to escape with Clarisse.▼ ▲== [[Anime and Manga]] == ▲* In ''[[The Castle of Cagliostro\|The Castleof Cagliostro]]'', The Count and his men pursue Lupin, up the castle's clock tower, as he attempts to escape with Clarisse. == [[Film]] == Line 16 ⟶ 15: == [[Literature]] == * In ''[[~~Discworld/Witches Abroad\|~~Witches Abroad]]'', Nanny Ogg and the dwarf romeo Casanunder sabotage the clock tower to prevent "Cinderella" hearing the chimes of midnight. There is also the cat Greebo's memory of chasing a mouse into a working windmill and realising he is in a place of danger where one paw put in the wrong place will drag him to doom among all the turning gears and grinding wheels. == [[Tabletop Games]] == * ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'' has the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus, where everything is on an orderly array of gears. Here the gears are representing the efficiency and rigidness of law. And apparently its over-complicated nature, since the gears extend in all directions, infinitely or nearly so, and range from portable to large-continent-sized. Some of those latter host the whole divine realms that don't need to be concerned with this gear thing. == [[Video Games]] == * Tick Tock Clock in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which can be tweaked based on the time that a player jumps through the wall. ** The level returns as a racecourse in ''[[Mario Kart\|Mario Kart DS]]''. * Also, some of the castles from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. * The level in ''[[Castlevania III: ~~Draculas~~Dracula's Curse]]'' where you meet Grant. The music on this level is aptly named "Clockwork". ** Then again, [[Clock Tower]] levels have been a staple in the Castlevania series ever since the original. Most notably [[Super Castlevania IV\|Super Castlevanis IV's]] stage "A" and ''[[Symphony of the Night]]''. * Metal Man's stage in ''[[Mega Man 2]]''. Line 46 ⟶ 45: == [[Western Animation]] == * One episode of ''[[The Batman]]'' had Batman fighting Catwoman and Ragdoll in the gears of a giant clocktower. ** An episode of ''[[Batman: The ~~Animated Series\|Batman the~~ Animated Series]]'' had Batman fighting the Clock King like this, in a clock tower. * The climax of "The Dog and Piggy Show" in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' features Jackie, Jade, Uncle, and Hak Foo climbing the gears in a clocktower to get the Pig Talisman. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Clockworks Area~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Steampunk Index]] [[Category:This Index Is in The Way]] ▲[[Category:Clockworks Area]]
