The third game in the ''[[Ratchet and& Clank (Video Game)|Ratchet and Clank]]'' series.
 
Ratchet And Clank return to their home galaxy (revealed to be named the Solana Galaxy) where they face off against Dr. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Nefarious]], a [[Mad Scientist]] and robot supremacist who also happens to be a former foe of Captain Qwark. The two reluctantly track down and team up with the disgraced superhero in order to thwart Dr. Nefarious's scheme to turn everyone in the galaxy into his robotic slaves.
Line 15:
* [[Boss Remix]]: The boss theme for the fight against Courtney Gears is a remix of "Death to Squishies".
* [[Brain Uploading]]: {{spoiler|A cross between this and [[We Can Rebuild Him]] is what caused Nefarious to become the robot he is now after a horrible accident at the hands of Qwark while he was still human, though it's never quite explained which is more accurate.}}
* [[Call Back]]: The Amoeboids from ''[[Ratchet and& Clank 2002 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ratchet & Clank]]'' are revealed to have been an early galactic domination/destruction ploy by Dr. Nefarious (making their appearance then something of a [[Foreshadowing]] for him).
** Also in the 4th Vidcomic you visit Qwark's training course as Qwark.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]: They find Captain Qwark {{spoiler|after he faked his death so he wouldn't have to actually risk his life, and are unable to convince him to continue fighting. Later on, in the final boss battle, he comes dramatically sailing in on his spaceship, pumping rounds into the boss.}}
Line 67:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Courtney Gears is an obvious spoof of singers like [[Britney Spears]].
** Some also feel that the Galactic President resembles [[Bill Clinton]].
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If you import a ''[[Ratchet and& Clank 2002 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ratchet & Clank]]'' save, you get the Gadgetron employee discount mentioned in said game (the one that takes two years to kick in). Also, having a ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]'' save with certain guns obtained in it will let you get those guns for free.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Secret Agent Clank and Annihilation Nation.
* [[Solid Gold Poop]]: Sewer crystals come "fresh from the bowels" of the King Amoeboids.
Line 73:
* [[Thousand-Yard Stare]]: The arena announcer says Ratchet has one of these.
* [[Villain Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6JNhWfejAQ&feature=related Death to Squishies], Courtney Gears' [[Lyrical Dissonance|peppy little]] declaration of robotic genocidal hate.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Dr. Nefarious's plan is to [[Unwilling Roboticisation|turn every organic lifeform in the galaxy into robots]], and he actually succeeds in doing so to Skidd McMarxx and everyone in Metropolis. Later in the game, Al is seen analyzing Skidd and remarking that it may be possible to reverse the process, but it is never really stated whether Al succeeds or not. Granted, Skidd does make a very brief appearance in the cinema at the end of the game, back to his normal self, suggesting Al did cure him and everyone in Metropolis.
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: The narrator from the vid-comics in the their game, expressing his disbelief on Qwark's supposed "adventures". Considering Qwark wrote the scripts, one can't blame him.
