Costume Quest: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

But one house doesn't go exactly as planned. Where the kids expect a dorky grown-up with candy for the taking, a hideous monster pops out the door and abducts one of them! It seems that a horde of Grubbins have invaded Auburn Pines under the orders of a [[Hot Witch]] named Dorsilla. Out to steal every lollipop, jellybean and jujube in town, they mistook your brother or sister for a huge chunk of candy corn. It's up to you to save your other half. [[Sibling Rivalry|Not out of love]] - but out of fear of getting grounded!

* [[Cliff Hanger]]: {{spoiler|Grubbins on Ice ends with the kids going through the portal to return home, only to end up in a [[Phantom Zone|void-like dimension]] containing even more portals.}}

* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: Core game mechanic. In an enemy encounter, Wren and Reynold transform into a building sized version of what their primitive, handmade costume is supposed to represent. Here's a list by category of use.

** Defense: [[Knight in Shining Armor|Knight]], [[Bigfoot Sasquatch and Yeti|Yeti]] (DLC only).

** Support: [[Statue of Liberty]], [[Unicorn]].

* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Dorsilla}}

* [[Dual Boss]]: The final fight of Grubbins on Ice pits you against {{spoiler|Big Bones and Araxia}}.

* [[Enemy Civil War]]: You join one in ''Grubbins on Ice''

* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|Dorsilla}}

** The DLC changes the dialogue for the boxes so that you're now calling the Trowbog Historical Society. Because how else are they going to know if history is happening?

* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|The DLC leaves the main characters lost in a hub of portals to different worlds.}}

** The music in the mall camping shop is the camp music from [[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]

** The Pumpkin Costume's battle form is ripped straight out of [[The Nightmare Before Christmas]].

* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: Metxel crashes his Candy-dozer into two mooks in the middle of a fight.

{{quote| '''Metxel''': Now look what you made me do! I think one of them was my brother-in-law!}}

** At the end of the game he {{spoiler|finally gets off his chair and puts away his newspaper, to take a piece of candy from his kids, saying it's a "Dad Tax."}}

* [[Woman Scorned]]: {{spoiler|When Big Bones discovers Dorsilla's plot to usurp him, he breaks the deal with her and tell her to get lost. Not happy at all, she obeys, but not before boosting the heroes' power so they'll kick his ass.}}

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Lucy, big time. Spouts a lot of science fiction (and science fact) in a magical setting.
