Line 2:
''Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime'' is a Zelda-like action-adventure spinoff of the popular ''[[Dragon Quest (Video Game)|Dragon Quest]]'' series, released on the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2006. It's the sequel to ''Slime Morimori: Dragon Quest'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], which was [[No Export for You|never released outside Japan]], though a [[Fan Translation]] is in progress.
 
In the quaint, faraway kingdom of Slimenia exists a [[Monster Town]] called Boingburg, which is populated completely by slime-like creatures. One day, almost completely out of nowhere, a mob of not-slimy monsters with tails called "the Plob" swoops in and kidnaps everybody. Everybody, that is...[[ItsIt's Up to You|except for you]], a slime nicknamed Rocket. Using your ability to stretch and bounce, your job is to infiltrate the Plob's various hideouts and rescue your friends ([[Gotta Catch Them All|all 100 of them]]).
 
A third game is developing for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].
Line 18:
* [[Duct Tape for Everything]]: How Ducktor Cid fixes the Warrior Flute.
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: {{spoiler|Boo}} Hooly.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]: Subverted by Gluttonella, the previously mentioned glutton.
* [[Fang Thpeak]]: The impth, of courth.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY likes Gluttonella.
Line 24:
* [[The Family for The Whole Family]]: The Plob are a kid-friendly stand-in for the Mob, right down to their leader, Don Clawleone, a multi-tailed Platypunk who wears an eyepatch and uses crude gangster-speak. All of them, who are basically all the enemies in the game, are distinguished by their tails, hence their name in the original untranslated version, the Tails Gang.
* [[Fastball Special]]: You can fire your allies or even yourself out of a cannon. Oftentimes, this is the only way to win.
* [[Five -Man Band]]: A very subtle one.
** The Hero - Rocket
** The Lancer - Hooly
Line 39:
* [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: The developers kept humans out of the game for the highly justified reason that they'd just go around killing off the slimes.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Well this ''is'' a Dragon Quest game. Special mention goes to the tree tank, named [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Twigger]] (a double pun, as Toriyama did the art for Chrono Trigger, and of course the [[Square Enix]] merger.)
* [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword]]: The Hero Sword.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: The three Goonin.
** [[McNinja]]: Tokyo Tom, the [[Totally Radical]] American Goonin.
* [[Item Crafting]]: Used to create newer and more powerful tank ammo.
Line 51:
* [[No Ending]]: Despite the fact that you rescued all the slimes and saved all of Slimenia from a [[Sealed Evil in A Can]], the Plob is still active. Everyone from the Plob who battled you is still there raring to battle again.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: BIG DADDY SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Don Clawleone has a staff that turns him into a dragon which he uses when he's at half health. He calls himself "Don Dragone."
* [[Orichalcum]]: Both in rock and orichalslime form.
* [[Playable Epilogue]]
Line 60:
* [[The Rival]]: Slival.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: If you replay the final boss, you'll see that Princess Gluttonella is willing to ''resurrect a demon'' to get food Don Clawleone continuously denies he has.
* [[Too Spicy for Yog -Sothoth]]: The aforementioned Princess.
** One boss is fought by throwing the [[Flunky Boss|Cactiballs]] onto it's tongue. (Lickety Spit the Ggripevine.)
* [[Saintly Church]]
