Touch Detective: Difference between revisions

'''''Touch Detective''''' (''Mystery Detective'' in most of Europe) and its sequel, '''''Touch Detective 2½''''', are games made by [[Atlus]] for the Nintendo DS. In both titles, the player takes control of a young girl named Mackenzie, who inherited a detective agency from her father and wants to become a world-famous sleuth. Now add in [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], walking fungi, [[Our Zombies Are Different|zombies that act like normal people]] and just plain old wackiness, and you have ''Touch Detective'' in a nutshell.

=== Both games contain examples of: ===

* [[All There in the Manual]] - The Web sites.

** While Penelope is the ultimate example, the whole cast (minus [[Only Sane Man|Mackenzie]]) could qualify.

* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Mackenzie, Chloe, and Penelope.

** Shorty may also count. He does fine with hotdogs, but his ideas for his choco bananas are pretty weird.

* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Mackenzie is very fond of Funghi, and just loves to pinch [[Creepy Child|Linsey's]] cheek.

* [[Leitmotif]] - The three main girls each have one.

* [[Little Bit Beastly]]: Daisy has cat eyes and generally has catlike features.

** A businessman says that there's advantages to living under 'a glass ceiling'.

** The Cornstalker says he'll "see you in the next episode" after Case #3.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - See [[All There in the Manual]] above.

* [[The Voice]] - Most of the girls living in the Condominium, as well as Shorty the hot dog/chocolate banana salesman.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed]]}}

* [[Ceiling Banger]] - In the first case, Penelope tries to send morse code messages to her upstairs neighbour, Daisy, by banging on the ceiling with a large stick. Daisy's "replies" are actually just attempts to get Penelope to stop.

* [[Jerkass]] - The Circus Master

* {{spoiler|[[Killer Rabbit]] - Karbanov}}

* [[Mad Scientist]] - The Astronomer could be called one, as he has an unhealthy obsession over stars. {{spoiler|He also turns people into life-sized dolls for Lynsey.}}

* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: {{spoiler|The snow fairy}} had a crush on Chloe in the second case.

* [[X-Ray Sparks]] - In the second case, after {{spoiler|Mackenzie}} plays with an electrical socket.

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]] - At the end of part 1 of the fourth case. Not spoilered, as the previous cases all had two parts, and there's at least one item you haven't found a use for...

=== ''Touch Detective 2½'' contains examples of: ===

* [[Adventure Archaeologist]]

* {{spoiler|[[Aliens Are Bastards]]}}

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Antoinette used a giant 3-pronged electric egg-beater to make some pastry. It's as big as an electric jackhammer and Dover used it to ''dig a fish pond in minutes''.
