Croc/YMMV
< Croc
Tropes spanning the series:
- Ear Worm: Pick ANY song from the games. You can (and will) get said song stuck in your head.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: However, there are some you'll want to get stuck in your head.
- Too Good to Last
Tropes of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos:
- Breather Level: Level 4-2 "Hassle In The Castle" is considerably easier than the rest of the areas in the level.
- Demonic Spiders: Whilst not spiders, Dantini Devils and Casters are literally and figuratively this trope. They are big, and shoot at you.
- Scrappy Level: Ghost-bonuses, the levels where you need to jump onto tiles to kill sheep/ghosts/whatever, and, oh god, the swimming levels.
- Level 4-3, which consists almost entirely of a marathon of mini-games. If you're trying to go for all the Gobbos, and you mess up a single game, you MUST start all over.
- Scrappy Mechanic: The password system in the original game. If you're a PS1 owner who was unlucky enough to not have a memory card or, barring that, has a memory card that's full (very likely, since PS1 memory cards are notorious for how little data they can hold), you're stuck with using the game's password system. This doesn't sound so bad at first, but there is one major caveat; the passwords do not save any of the Gobbos that you collect in the game, meaning you have to 100% the entire game in one long sitting if you stick with this method.
- So Okay, It's Average: The game is considered a decent but flawed platformer due to its control and camera issues, bland presentation, and sporadic difficulty.
- That One Boss: Neptuna. A boss fight that takes place entirely underwater, AND he has the ability to shoot beams at you like the Dantini Devils.
- That One Level:
- Ghost-bonuses, the levels where you need to jump onto tiles to kill sheep/ghosts/whatever, and, oh God, the swimming levels.
- Level 4-3, which consists almost entirely of a marathon of mini-games. If you're trying to go for all the Gobbos, and you mess up a single game, you MUST start all over.
- Most of the level 4 areas qualify with "The Tower Of Power", "Ballistic Meg's Fairway", "Swipe Swiftly's Wild Ride" and especially the last level before the final boss "Panic At Platform Pete's Lair".
