Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ear Worm: Bonelich and his catchy remakes of old Capcom songs will become this to you!
  • Fridge Brilliance: The locks on treasure chests look like Wiki's head, because Wiki originally cursed Barbaros.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: Bonelich's music minigames and the sword duels in the penultimate stage are often targeted as this, resulting from the way the game expects the player to find out how to properly control something with only a position picture for reference and people being unable to figure out how to do so.
  • Surprise Difficulty: Despite the light and graphics, the latter puzzles are incredibly hard even for skilled gamers.
  • That One Level: Mad Science. There are several ways to mess up the level and make it unwinnable and it takes a while to find out how to even progress through the level and to top it off it is impossible to make the last potion in the level if you follow the game's instructions on how to make it. The game essentially lies to you!
  • Unfortunate Implications: In one level Captain Rose can be made into an object...
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Wiki's a girl... I think.
    • The character entry on Wiki uses "he".
