River City Ransom: Underground: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

* [[Crutch Character]]: Alex and Ryan serve as this in an assist role up until the first boss is defeated, then they get a demotion to Level 1 when they become playable.

* [[Embedded Precursor]]: The tutorial level is a condensed version of the final battles of the original, with Slick as the boss once again, although it is possible to lose the tutorial, forcing you to start it all over again. This also doubles as the backstory.

* [[Fanservice]]: The hot springs scenes are back, only this time even Provie, a black woman, gets to join in on giving the player a brief glimpse of her bare backside.

* [[Funny Afro]]: Ryan's hair in modern day sports a hilarious looking pompadour.

* [[In The Hood]]: Provie, who wears a hoodie.

Line 33:

Line 34:

* [[Money Spider]]: Unlike the original game, where every enemy dropped the same looking coin (while the amount could vary), this time they drop various coins and bills on defeat.

* [[Fantasy Gun Control]]: Bizarrely, even though cops do show up, none of them have guns, though it would not be unrealistic for them to have them given the setting.

* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: While the original game had some unsafe areas, like the factory with a conveyer belt over [[Bottomless Pits]], this game has many more unsafe areas.

** Sticksville has gaping holes in the road that have no fencing whatsoever.

** The construction yard has a gigantic wrecking ball that randomly swings through an open street.

** The factory is now even more dangerous with even more pits.

** The sewers are a nightmare of catwalks with no guardrails.

** The golf course has a windmill that can hurt people who walk into the blades, which are low enough to hit people on the ground.

* [[Nostalgia Level]]: The tutorial, which plays exactly like the original RCR game did. The only thing missing is the "[[Double Dragon]]' theme for the Dragon Twins, but the developers likely couldn't secure the rights to it, since they only got permission to officially remake the game itself, while the theme could be used in the original because Technos produced both game series.

* [[Powered Armor]]: Calvin is leader of the Nerds and he knows he's a wimp, so he uses one of these to fight you.

* [[Recurring Boss]]; Abobo, the [[Hulk Speak]] spewing giant who [[Dynamic Entry|shows up by punching through whatever walls are in the background]]. He shows up on occasion to menace the heroes and drops more money that most other enemies as a reward every time you beat him.

* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]: Yes and no. You can hit some things like parking meters and soda machines for free goodies, but it will get the cops mad and they will chase you around until you lose them.

* [[Theme Naming]]: The gangs all have themey names like the original.
