Line 4:
Nefarious, eager to stir up trouble again, baits Galactic President Qwark out under the premise of an award ceremony where he will receive a 'Tool of Justice Award'. Qwark, being Qwark, drags Ratchet and Clank along with him. Eventually, Nefarious's plan to unleash a Light Eating Z'Grute goes pear-shaped as it draws the attention of the Creature Collector, which captures the four playable characters and strands them on planet Magnus.
----
* [[Abandoned Laboratory]]: Not of the standard variety. There are several of Dr. Croid's labs scattered throughout the levels and, if you have enough creatures, you can enter them and complete challenges for RYNO parts.
** The {{spoiler|Exploratorium Power Station}} may count, as well.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: {{spoiler|The fairy tale about the Loki and the Cragmite hero.}}
* [[
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: The [[Buffy-Speak|egg-shaped... things]] are actually journal entries from Dr. Croid.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Qwark and Nefarious get a moment like this late in the game. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that Nefarious is insulting Qwark even as the latter is apologizing... and throughout his own apology. {{spoiler|Possibly played straight by the very end, when Nefarious is thoughtfully looking at a photo of the group.}}
Line 14:
* [[Bait and Switch Boss]]: Turns out that {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]] isn't Nevo. It's Mr. Dinkles, who's been using Nevo.}}
* [[BFG]]: The Warmonger.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Nefarious's trap for the
* [[Brick Joke]]: Ratchet comments on how well Dr. Croid seems to be doing, after {{spoiler|being reunited with Nevo.}}
{{quote|'''Ratchet''': Well, Dr. Croid seems to be doing better. Still keeps {{spoiler|feeding me those treats... but otherwise, he seems surprisingly sane.}}}}
Line 43:
* [[Derelict Graveyard]]: The latter half of Octonok Cay.
* [[Dreamworks Face]]: Very noticeable on Nefarious in 'A Nefarious Affair' after Qwark asks "You would've done the same for me, right?" Quite interesting to see on a robot.
* [[Dug Too Deep]]: The Access Shaft in the
* [[Enemy Mine]]: The basis of the game, with four 'enemies'. (Obviously averted in [[Adventure Duo|Ratchet and Clank's cases]], [[True Companions|being friends and all.]])
** Especially notable with Ratchet and Nefarious, who, at one point, seem to bond through a mutual hatred of Qwark.
Line 76:
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: The very instant things go bad, Lawrence runs away . . . then again, this wouldn't be the first time he's done it.
* [[Secret Weapon]]: Dr. Croid's "Last Resort" project. The game doesn't even try to hide the fact that you're just assembling a new RYNO.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of the first levels you play through is a training ground monitored by an AI. If you listen to her for more than five minutes, she'll start to remind you of another [[Portal (series)|passive-agressive AI.]] Once she realizes that the players aren't trainees, but "interlopers" she even tries to deter them by [[Damned By Faint Praise|damning them with faint praise]] and making mostly-useless threats. ("You remember those gold stars I gave you? They're gone now. Try hanging that on the fridge.") On a similar note, more than one villain asks if/how the heroes are "Still Alive"
** Also a different AI, at one point, lies about cake.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: The Arc Lasher and Thundersmack
* [[Single Biome Planet]]: Magnus actually averts
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: The Polar Sea
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: There's a short instance of this, right after the group gets free of the Creature Collector. Fortunately, Ratchet decides that (true) retirement can be put off a little while longer.
Line 100:
'''Qwark:''' Hey doc, make it two. 'Been a looong trip. }}
* [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: Again, Uzo City
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: It's a co-op game, and you're handed vacuums that let you suck up your friends early on. People are going to go flying ''everywhere''. Including the into incinerator.
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Played hilariously straight. You even get to hear Cronk subscribing to the Hall of Knowledge online database.
