Fixing an example. Also, is Acme Cleanup a reference to Ajax Cleanser or not? I don't have the book, so I can't tell.

This can be avoided if you took a detour where Professor Shock warns you not to touch anything in the Queen's room. You still can't stop your friends from doing it, but if you tell the book you got that advice, you have a chance to save them.

The ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' book where you mess with a scientist's inventions.
"You" and your friends have been invited to clean the garage of an inventor. One room holds two inventions -- a strange robot, and a pinball machine. Choosing either one will send you on an adventure where you must either save the world from a robot revolution, or escape from a strange mirror world.
----
!!This book provides examples of:
* AcmeProducts: "Acme Cleanup" is mentioned, and there's apparently a battery brand called "Supergizers".
* AIIsACrapshoot: One of the possible scenarios in this adventure have robots created by Professor Shock starting a revolt against humans, and they actually succeed in a few bad endings.
* AndIMustScream: The Mirror World scenario have plenty of situations where you're trapped in said world, with no way to return. One in particular sees you chasing after your fleeing reflection forever.
* BigRedButton: If you take the remote, you'll press the big red button on it (you don't get a choice). Depending on your choices after that, the button does different things. It can be as harmless as a homing beacon, or ending your life by activating an unknown weapon.
* BodyHorror: Stepping through the wrong mirror in the funhouse? You risk becoming as distorted as your reflection, and on the other side you see several of the mirrors' past victims, all of them contorted into abominations.
* CombiningMecha: A junkyard in the robot world have a scenario that wouldn't look out of place in a ''Transformers'' cartoon, where various machinery in the yard suddenly comes to life to form a gigantic mechanical monster, with steamrollers in place of feet, cranes for arms, two backhoes as hands and a [[TVHeadRobot giant TV for a head]].
* HallOfMirrors: Features in the story if you choose the "mirror world" storyline.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: You suffer this fate in one of the bad endings, after going through the wrong mirror in the funhouse. To make things worse, you're then caught in a pinball machine and crushed by the balls.
* MadScientist: The titular character, Professor Shock, whose inventions includes robots with sentience of their own, interdimensional portal generators, and assorted gizmos whatnot. His name kind of gives it away though.
* MirrorMonster: In one particularly nasty ending, you wait for a portal in a mirror to open up for your escape, only for a gigantic, monstrous human hand to emerge from behind the mirror and grab you.
* MixAndMatchCritters: One of your possible encounters is the Loreo, a lion-like beast with a crocodile's head, and said monster attacks you multiple times throughout the mirror path.
* MythologyGag: One to the main series, but there's a bad ending where reflections of yourself, and your friends Jason and Stacy, escapes the mirror-verse and leaves you trapped inside, much like the Goosebumps book ''Literature/LetsGetInvisible''
* PungeonMaster: The book's LemonyNarrator have quite a habit of dropping the ''worst'' puns in several bad endings. It gets old rather quickly.
