Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The second game in the ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' series. (Also known as Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded)

* [[Fartillery]]: Possibly averted with the Horrible Sulphur Beast, a monster that was mentioned but never appeared in the game. Both the Mutant Muckdweller and Horrible Sulphur Beast expel a poisonous gas as their attack. The former spits it out from its mouth. The latter... Well, judging by the name, the beast probably expels the gas "out the back door"...

* [[Foreshadowing]]: As left-field as the big ending twist seems on a first playthrough, there's actually a lot leading up to it if you look back. {{spoiler|[[Show Within a Show|The Behind the Hero]] segments, for example, which only served to remind the player that Qwark still exists. The fact that Mr Fizzwidget quite clearly wants to get rid of you right from the start, (evident from as early as the end cutscene of the first level) plus, if you listen closely enough, you can kinda tell that his voice sounds like Qwark's. Admittedly, Jim Ward does do the voice for both of them, and the real Fizzwidget only sounds slightly more serious.}} And there's the {{spoiler|false}} password Mr Fizzwidget gives you for the Disposal Facility: {{spoiler|Qwarktastic.}}

* [[Hypno Ray]]: It only works on robots though.

* [[Malaproper]]: Mr Fizzwidget, quite frequently. {{spoiler|Though in a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]], as he's really Captain Qwark, he obviously never knew what any of those words meant, he just wanted to sound smart. Note that, in what little we see of him, the REAL Fizzwidget never does this.}}

* [[Mega Corp]]: The company is the [[Trope Namer]], which has a major competitor in Gadgetron and Grummel Net.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: The Thug Leader

* [[Roaring Rampage of Rescue]]: Implied with the Thug fleet battle on planet Gorm.

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: {{spoiler|The thief}}.

* [[Shout-Out]]: When you pick up the Hypnomatic part in Allgon City, Clank does one of the [[Item Get]] dances from [[Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy]].

* [[Show Within a Show|Show Within A Game]]: Many of the video screens, which take the place of the Infobots from the first game, show cutscenes that are advertisements for TV Shows, such as ''Channel 64 News'' and ''The Galactic Gladiators''. The biggest example, however, is the ''Behind the Hero'' segments, which not only serve as the opening cutscene, but subsequently hosts an entire series on [[Fallen Hero]] Captain Qwark, of which episodes are seen during the game's course.

* [[Un Paused]]: The frozen Gadgetron scientist. When broken free from his ice block he's still celebrating the success of his Thermanator (which froze him in the first place).

* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]] - Allgon City on the Planet [[Damsel in Distress|Damosel]].

* [[Video Game Flight]]: You gain access to the Levitator which allows you to fly anywhere... but you can only take off from special pads, and your fuel decreases rapidly every time you ascend.
