Spelunky: Difference between revisions

* [[Gag Nose]] - Spelunker, damsels and shopkeepers have a red nose.

* [[Game Mod]] - As of 1.1 the Source code to Spelunky is out, and many mods can be found on the forums.

* [[Giant Mook]]

* [[Giant Spider]] - Along with regular sized ones, [[Fridge Horror|although if you look at the sprite, its the same size as Spelunky...]]

* [[The Goomba]] - As mentioned above, the snake. All it does is slither slowly back and forth. It is perhaps the only enemy that does not actively respond to your presence or do anything to kill you besides continue its regular movement pattern.

** Spelunkers can [[Goomba Springboard|bounce off enemies to get a little extra height]] or [[Not the Fall That Kills You|negate fall damage]].

* [[Guide Dang It]] - The City of Gold

** Found the Black Market? Good for you! {{spoiler|Better splurge on all the items you need though, because after you exit, ''item shops will no longer spawn for the rest of the game.''}}

* [[Ladder Physics]]

* [[Last Ditch Move]] - Fire frogs and flying saucers.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]] - Unfortunately. Sometimes you get large drops where you have to take damage in areas 2 and 3 (although you can use ropes by crouching near ledges to offset this). On occasion, you'll get a jetpack early in the game.

* [[Ludicrous Gibs]] - Most enemies explode into blobs of blood upon being killed. And there's a frog that explodes into flames.

* [[Secret Character]]

* [[Short-Range Shotgun]] - Averted with anything that isn't [[Made of Iron|notably tough]] -- the blast spreads out dramatically and deals a ridiculous amount of damage even at long ranges. Still, don't expect to kill a shopkeeper in one blast unless he's right next to you.

** Getting a ball and chain attached to you? [[Nethack|Sure sounds familiar.]]

** Guess what you find [[Evil Dead|in the grave of "ASH"]]. {{spoiler|A boomstick, er shotgun!}}

* [[Smooch of Victory]] - A bonus item that will restore lost health.

* [[Soft Water]]

* [[Speed Run]] - Beating the game quickly enough opens a mini-game room.

* [[Spikes of Doom]] - But you can walk through them as long as you don't land in them. Most enemies can be killed by them, too. Later on, there are totem poles that thrust spikes out their sides whenever you come near. The ground spikes are one of several ways a spelunker can [[Chunky Salsa Rule|die instantly regardless of his health]], and the totem poles deal enough damage to kill you instantly if you haven't gotten at least one health boost.

* [[Spring Jump]] - Spring Shoes

* [[Springs Springs Everywhere]] - In Area 3, where they're hardly visible when not sprung.

* [[Sticky Bomb]] - As a replacement for standard bombs.

* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]] - There are many, ''many'' ways you can be killed. Drowning, surprisingly, is not one of them.

* [[Treasure Is Bigger in Fiction]]

* [[Underground Level]]

* [[Unwinnable By Mistake]] - The level generator tries its best to create a level [[Benevolent Architecture|that can be passed with minimal use of ropes and bombs]]. Unfortunately, a path can sometimes be blocked by a grave or a totem.

* [[Useless Useful Spell]] - The teleporter. On the one hand, you can teleport four or so tiles in near any direction, and as such can occasionally avoid using bombs to blow open walls. On the other hand, it's possible to teleport ''inside a wall'', [[Tele Frag|killing you instantly]]. Or in front of an arrow trap. Or into a pit, leading to a death fall.

* [[Whip It Good]] - Your primary weapon.

* [[Wiki Rule]] - [http://spelunky.wikia.com/wiki/Spelunky_Wiki A nice one can be found here].

* [[Yet Another Stupid Death]] - Believe us, you'll have lots of these, even if you're ''good'' at platformers, roguelikes, or ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]''.

** Example: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msKWy7A8onQ#t=2m0s Getting shot by a shopkeeper] ''right'' on top of the City of Gold entrance. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the player shortly after the death.
