Gargoyle's Quest: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

** Their names are listed in the closing credits, like in most ''GNG'' titles.

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: The Crest of Heaven gives Firebrand access to the Ultimate Gargoyle form, which has more stamina and can ascend, swim, dash on the ground, and breathe very powerful fire, effectively combining the five other forms into one.

* [[Almost Dead Guy]]: ''Three in a row'' at the start of the first game, each warning you that an unknown army has attacked and something has happened to the king, they are very strong, and you need to hurry and get through the dimensional portal that leads back to the Ghoul Realm so you can get to work stopping them.

* [[Almost-Dead Guy]]: ''Three in a row'' at the start of the first game, each warning you that an unknown army has attacked and something has happened to the king, they are very strong, and you need to hurry and get through the dimensional portal that leads back to the Ghoul Realm so you can get to work stopping them.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Firebrand starts out at this, and then shifts to [[Villain Protagonist]] by ''DC''.

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Firebrand loses all of his accrued powers between games. Only ''DC'' bothers to [[Hand Wave]] this by having him be depowered by losing the Crests.

Line 29:

* [[The Cameo]]: The "Imp" spell summons one of the Petite Demons from the original ''[[Ghosts N Goblins (Video Game)|Ghosts N Goblins]]''. Also, the Aerial Gargoyle's projectile slightly resembles a [[Street Fighter|Sonic Boom]] {{spoiler|and the Ultimate Gargoyle's resembles a Hadouken}}.

* [[Charged Attack]]: {{spoiler|Firebrand as the Ultimate Gargoyle.}}

* [[Convection Schmonvection]]: Could be justified since the Ghoul Realm has much different properties from the human world, but Firebrand can get pretty darn close to fire without being injured.

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Could be justified since the Ghoul Realm has much different properties from the human world, but Firebrand can get pretty darn close to fire without being injured.

** Firebrand also has an affinity for fire, so he may just be naturally resistant to extreme heat. He is a fire-breathing demon after all.

* [[Die Chair Die]]: Headbutting pottery, statuary or windows is a quick reliable source of money.

* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]: Headbutting pottery, statuary or windows is a quick reliable source of money.

* [[Dub Name Change]]: In the Japanese versions, the playable character is just a normal, unremarkable Red Arremer. Only the international releases give him a name.

* [[Dynamic Difficulty]]: Depending on how fast you rush through the game, ''DC'''s final dungeon can be either ''very'' short ([[Lampshade Hanging|which Phalanx comments on]]) or ''very'' elaborate.

Line 47:

* [[Heart Container]]

* [[Heroic Mime]]

* [[Hundred Percent Completion]]: Required to get the best ending {{spoiler|and the Ultimate Gargoyle form}} in ''Demon's Crest''.

* [[Hundred-Percent Completion]]: Required to get the best ending {{spoiler|and the Ultimate Gargoyle form}} in ''Demon's Crest''.

* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: The Ultimate Gargoyle form. Its charge shot can [[One Hit KO]] several of the bosses when used in conjunction with the Fang talisman.

* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons]]: The Demon Dragon, Somulo, the big dragon statue in the background of Area 1, and the dragon-shaped flame when Firebrand uses Demon Fire.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: The Demon Dragon, Somulo, the big dragon statue in the background of Area 1, and the dragon-shaped flame when Firebrand uses Demon Fire.

* [[Metroidvania]]: Advance to a location, defeat a boss, earn access to ability upgrades that let you reach new locations. Yep, they count.

* [[Mini Game]]: Headbutt enough skulls before time runs out to earn some extra cash, or even a [[Heart Container]] in the most difficult one.

Line 59:

* [[Off-Model]]: Firebrand is portrayed as {{color|green|green}} in the North American box art of the first game, despite being plot-relevantly described as {{color|red|red}} within the same game.

* [[One Up]]: "Talismans of the Cyclone" in ''GQ'', "Essences of the Maelstrom" in ''GQ2'', Elixirs in ''DC''.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Phalanx if you go for [[Hundred Percent Completion]]. Appropriately, it's easily the most difficult boss in the standard game.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Phalanx if you go for [[Hundred-Percent Completion]]. Appropriately, it's easily the most difficult boss in the standard game.

* [[Perspective Flip]]: Firebrand himself and many of the allied NPCs were originally enemy characters from the ''Ghosts 'n Goblins'' series.

* [[Playable Epilogue]]: {{spoiler|Hope you copied down the password you received after achieving [[Hundred Percent Completion]]. Or just look it up at [[Game FAQs]].}}

* [[Playable Epilogue]]: {{spoiler|Hope you copied down the password you received after achieving [[Hundred-Percent Completion]]. Or just look it up at [[Game FAQs]].}}

* [[Prequel]]: ''GQ2'' is such to the first game.

* [[Random Encounters]]: ''GQ1''. ''GQ2'' shifted to [[Preexisting Encounters]], and ''DC'' eliminated them entirely.
