''Fancy Pants Adventures'' is a series of [[Platformer]] [[Web Games]] created by Brad Borne. The games concern the title stick figure [[Captain Obvious|with orange pants]] running around trying to wake a giant penguin (in ''[http://armorgames.com/play/301/fancy-pants-adventures World 1]'') take back his beloved ice cream from a rabbit (in ''[http://armorgames.com/play/553/the-fancy-pants-adventure-world-2 World 2]''), or save [[Damsel in Distress|Cutie Pants]] (in ''[http://armorgames.com/play/13155/fancy-pants-adventures-world-3 World 3]'').
While it started out on [[Newgrounds]], it eventually made its way to the [[Playstation Network]] and [[Xbox Live Arcade]] and earned its own website [https://web.archive.org/web/20101113183601/http://www.fancypantsadventures.com/ here]. The downloadable game was eventually rereleased free, but without multiplayer aspects or the time trials, as ''World 3''. The downloadable game has also been released as an [[IOS Games|iOS game]].
Fancy Pants Man is also playable in ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/381115 Newgrounds Rumble]'' (as of its May 30th, 2008 update) and {{spoiler|''[[Shift]] [http://armorgames.com/play/1846/shift-3 3]''}} (as a [[New Game+]] [[Secret Character]]).
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: If Fancy Pants Man falls asleep facing left, the 'z's that float up turn into 's'es.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Fancy Pants Man can collect more pants colors.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Fancy Pants Man's [[Spiky Hair]].
* [[Art Evolution]]: Borne posted a YouTube clip of the many rough drafts of the ''Fancy Pants'' games, lamenting over their lack of quality. Each game since the first has progressed in variation, detail (like Squiggleville), and animation. Even for a stick figure, Fancy Pants Man has evolved significantly from his original incarnation.
* [[Benevolent Architecture]]: Many of the locations just happen to be perfect for preforming reality-defying stunts while still acting as a coherent platformer.
* [[Bottomless Pits]]: In the first two games, falling into a pit immediately takes a life away. The second game's snail-shell can be lost to these pits, requiring Fancy Pants Man to reroute to put the snail shell in the golf hole. The third game is more infrequent and forgiving with bottomless pits, being nonexistent in primary levels.
** [[Non Lethal Bottomless Pits]]: In challenges that have bottomless pits, falling into one just returns Fancy Pants Man to a checkpoint without losing health or lives (though timed challenges will still continue).
* [[Collision Damage]]
Line 91:
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Rainbowbeard (initially) has a rainbow-colored beard.
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: Cutie Pants wears a dress.
* [[Non
* [[Nutty Squirrel]]: The squirrel on the balloon in Canopy Forest ''really'' wants to be a flying squirrel.
* [[Offscreen Start Bonus]]: This trope is discussed in Pirate Cove, where an individual in the wall of enemies comments on how [[When All Else Fails Go Right|moving left from your spawn point]] would be completely unintuitive to continuing the game.
Line 104:
* [[Temporary Platform]]: Thin sand platforms in Bummin' It Beach crumble when Fancy Pants Man steps on them. The thicker ones, oddly, do not.
* [[Thundering Herd]]: The big cloud of pirates that decide on kidnapping Cutie Pants as their new captain.
* [[Unmoving
* [[Unwanted Rescue]]: Cutie Pants finds {{spoiler|reigning over pirates}} better than she thought; she repeatedly demands that she won't return home. After all, why would she be subject to Fancy Pants Man's annoyance when she could have independence at her whim?
* [[Video Game Settings]]:
