* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The worlds Bob enters are based on historical events, but none of them try to be accurate to real life, as they're movies in-universe. For example, while the Cold Race to Space world is based on the moonlanding, it contains various SciFi elements such as aliens and MutagenicGoo. The Kraken's Lost Coins level also contains things such as [[DemBones walking skeletons]] and FunnyAnimal rats despite being based on the age of pirates.

* BrutalBonusLevel: ''Ultimate Bang-On Mega Bricks'' is a minigame found in the arcade in which you're thrown on a bunch of ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}''-like blocks that gradually disappear. Eventually, this will force you to platform very precisely to avoid getting pushed away by multi-colored bricks that appear from the tower in the center of the play area. On top of that, eventually bombs start getting sent after you that explode parts of the multi-colored bricks. After this, the cycle repeats, except faster, with there being 17 cycles in total. Fortunately, the jet hat makes it easier. Though that's relatively speaking.

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is a 3D CollectAThonPlatformer developed by Exit Plan Games and published by Untold Tales on October 5th, 2023 after a period of time in Early Access. The game stars [[VanillaProtagonist Bob]], a new actor at Bobbywood, who ends up playing a part in several blockbuster movies, but famous acting star [[BigBad Bob Boss]] does not approve of this and fights Bob in said movies, playing the part of the main villain in all of them. Oh, and did we mention that by 'plays a part in several blockbuster movies' we mean that Bob jumps through tv portals, and [[TrappedInTVLand physically emerges into the movie's world]]? And that all the characters are stressballs? Yep, this is [[QuirkyWork that kind of game]], allright. The worlds Bob enters are The Viking Invasion, medieval landscape filled with vikings, Cold Race to Space, a city world with a moon landing planned, Kraken's Lost Coins, a pirate infested sea reminiscent of ''Manga/OnePiece'' full of different themed islands and Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, a world which is quite literally a combination of [[AnachronismStew Japan in various time periods]]. In every world there are [[PlotCoupon movie tapes]] to collect, people to save from cages and missions to follow. Once all missions are complete, Bob Boss appears in his newest acting role, and you have to defeat him in various different ways depending on the world. Bob can also be customized to your liking by collecting various pieces of clothing or tattoos scattered across the worlds, with his color pattern being able to be changed in a separate room. Additionally, after defeating a boss, its weapon and/or clothing will be unlocked for you to use, allowing for several different ways to handle combat.

!!Bang-On Balls: Chronicles provides examples of:
* AirDashing: A core movement mechanic is to propel yourself forward, which also somehow works in midair.
* {{Animesque}}: Time Trouble on Kaiju Island parodies both anime and Japanese culture. For example, most characters have BigAnimeEyes, you enter a giant mecha suit to fight Bob Boss and Bob Boss' role in the movie is of a bunch of giant {{Kaiju}}.
* AsteroidsMonster: Several of the larger enemies split into two smaller enemies each time they're hit.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Bob Boss' kraken form in Kraken's Lost Coins can only be damaged by hitting his suction cups while they're not armored. The second phase instead requires you to hit the top of his head.
* BigAnimeEyes: Several characters in the Time Trouble on Kaiju Island level have large shiny anime eyes.
* CameraAbuse: Bob gets launched to the screen upon dying.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Some of the clothing items give you extra abilities when you wear them. For example, there's a rocket launcher has that allows you to launch rockets at your enemies on command, there's a jet hat that allows you to hover in midair for a few seconds and there's a lava hat that allows you to shoot {{Fireballs}} upon rolling for long enough.
* CoOpMultiplayer: You can play together with someone else both locally and online.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Dying doesn't do much. All it does is deduct half of your money and send you to the previous checkpoint. Most enemies, bosses or minibosses don't regain health, and you can recover your money by smashing the InstantGravestone you left upon dying.
* DoubleJump: Bob can jump once in the air. Notably, if you leave the ground without jumping, with a bounce pad, for example, you'll be able to jump twice in the air.
* EatenAlive: One of Bob Boss' attacks in The Viking Invasion level is to suck you into his mouth ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}''-style, after which you're thrown into his mouth and must repeatedly slam against his uvula to get spat out.
* EverythingBreaks: Almost every single prop in the environment can be destroyed by a dash or GroundPound attack.
* EvilOverlooker: Bob Boss is shown as this in the box art.
* {{Faceship}}: Bob Boss' spaceship in the Cold Race to Space level looks like a larger version of him with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]].
* FinalExamBoss: During the final boss fight against Bob Boss, [[spoiler:he mixes up the costumes he used in the movies, causing him to be able to use several different combined attacks based on his previous fights]].
* GenderBender: You can change Bob's gender in the same place you can change his color pattern.
* GroundPound: One of your main attacks has you slam into the ground in midair.
* HubLevel: The Bobbywood Studios Lot is the area you enter all the movie worlds from. It also includes various bonus areas such as a zoo and an arcade, and it's also where Bob Boss' FinalBoss arena is located.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: The game has blue sheriff stars marked with 'superstar'. If you touch them, you temporarily grow in size, become impervious to damage and deal more damage.
* LastChanceHitPoint: If you're on your last or second last hit point, you heal to 3 hit points if you survive long enough.
* MeaningfulName: Bob Boss being the game's resident RecurringBoss makes his last name appropriate.
* PokemonSpeak: The zombies in the graveyard in The Viking Invasion can only say 'Zombie! Zombie! Zombie!' In a high-pitched voice.
* PortalEndpointResemblance: The rooms that contain the tv portals to each world all have a similar aesthetic to the world the tv portal sends you too. Even more so upon spending movie tapes to unlock more props. The music even changes to an arrangement of the main theme of the world.
* PowerCopying: You can steal the weapons of several bosses upon defeating them.
* PlanetOfSteves: All of the named characters are named 'Bob', which are also the initials of 'Bang-On Balls'.
* RecurringBoss: Bob Boss is fought at the end of each world. Downplayed, though, as he plays a different character each time.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Bob Boss' {{Faceship}} in Cold Race to Space has prominent glowing red eyes. When you're spotted by them, the ship sends out aliens to attack you.
* RegeneratingHealth: A variation. Normally, your health can only be regenerated by health pickups, but if you only have 2 to 1 HP left, your health regenerates to 3 if you survive for long enough.
* RumpRoast: Similar to ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', if you touch lava, you're sent flying upwards, dealing one unit of damage.
* SanitySlippage: Bob Boss loses more and more of his sanity the more you defeat him. After a while, his hair starts sticking out in every direction, after even longer he starts losing hair and LaughingMad.
* SaveGameLimits: The game only has one save file.
* SceneryPorn: The game has quite impressive lighting. The higher the graphics settings, the more beautiful the scenery looks.
* ShockAndAwe: The Mjolnir hammer unlocked upon defeating Bob Boss in The Viking Invasion causes all your attacks to electrify enemies, stunning them for a while.
* ShoutOut:
** All the characters are balls patterned with country flags, which is an obvious reference to ''WebComic/{{Polandball}}''.
** In Bob Boss' fight in Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, he transforms into a [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} giant lizard]], [[Film/{{Mothra}} giant moth]] and a [[Characters/GodzillaMechagodzilla robot version of the giant lizard]] in the first, second and third phase respectively.
** One of the many posters you can find everywhere depicts a ball with bunny-ears captioned with ''[[Magazine/{{Playboy}} Playbob]]''.
** The mecha suit you use to battle Bob Boss with in Time Trouble on Kaiju Island looks an awful lot like [[Franchise/MobileSuitGundam Gundam]].
** The cafeteria in the office building in the hub contains french fries inside of red packaging with a yellow B on it, causing them to look like UsefulNotes/McDonalds fries.
* SilenceIsGolden: The game barely has any dialogue outside of [[SpeakingSimlish random gibberish]], the occasional one word sentence and the 'BANG ON!' heard upon grabbing the InvincibilityPowerUp.
* SoreLoser: The more you defeat Bob Boss, the more insane and angry he gets.
* SpeakingSimlish: All characters speak in random gibberish, though occasionally words are spoken. For example, the zombies in The Viking Invasion constantly shout '[[PokemonSpeak Zombie! Zombie! Zombie!]]', while the ghost pirate in Kraken's Lost Coins can be heard shouting '[[PitifulWorms Maggots!]]'.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Female balls look no different than male ones aside from having prominent eyelashes. Taken farther in the Time Trouble on Kaiju Island level, where female balls have eyelashes alongside BlushStickers and larger, shinier eyes.
* ToiletHumor: You can fart on command by holding the whistle button. It does nothing, but you get an achievement for doing it in specific places.
* TransformationSequence: After powering up the giant mecha suit in Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, you’re treated to a sequence of Bob putting on the armor piece by piece with a flashy anime backdrop.
* TrappedInTVLand: The main premise of the game is Bob entering a tv and ending up in several different movie worlds.
* VanillaProtagonist: Bob barely has any characteristics, though you can customize him to your liking.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Bob Boss in general is more of an egotistical {{Jerkass}} than an actual villain, though he’s the BigBad all the same. That said, he always plays the role of the villain in the movies you enter.
* VirtualPaperDoll: Bob's color pattern, clothing, weapon and shield can be customized. Most of the options are purely cosmetic, but some have special abilities tied to them.
* WalkDontSwim: Instead of swimming in water, Bob sinks down to the bottom and will drown if you don’t resurface in time. Though some worlds allow him to summon an inflatable boat that he can use for water transport.
* {{Wutai}}: Parts of the Time Trouble on Kaiju Island are themed around medieval Japan and are filled with ninjas, samurai and [[AsianFoxSpirit Kitsune]].
* XRaySparks: Whenever a character gets electrified, their bones start showing.
* YourSizeMayVary: In Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, before activating the mecha suit, it appears much, much larger than Bob, to the point of him being the size of an ant compared to it. However, upon activating it, not only does the armor fit perfectly on him, but Bob seemingly grows several feet to fit inside of it, making him about equal the size of Bob Boss' {{Kaiju}} form. This goes full circle after you re-enter the tv portal after the fight, as Bob and the mecha suit seemingly shrink down to Bob's default size after exiting the portal.

Note: To avoid confusion over their shared names, the main character will always be referred to as Bob while the BigBad will be referred to as [[FullNameBasis Bob Boss]].
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is a 3D CollectAThonPlatformer developed by Exit Plan Games and published by Untold Tales in 2023 after a period of time in Early Access. The game stars [[VanillaProtagonist Bob]], a new actor at Bobbywood, who ends up playing a part in several blockbuster movies, but famous acting star [[BigBad Bob Boss]] does not approve of this and fights Bob in said movies, playing the part of the main villain in all of them. Oh, and did we mention that by 'plays a part in several blockbuster movies' we mean that Bob jumps through tv portals, and [[TrappedInTVLand physically emerges into the movie's world]]? And that all the characters are stressballs? Yep, this is [[QuirkyWork that kind of game]], allright. The worlds Bob enters are The Viking Invasion, medieval landscape filled with vikings, Cold Race to Space, n city world with a moon landing planned, Kraken's Lost Coins, a pirate infested sea reminiscent of Manga/OnePiece full of different themed islands and Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, a world which is quite literally a combination of [[AnachronismStew Japan in various time periods]]. In every world there are [[PlotCoupon movie tapes]] to collect, people to save from cages and missions to follow. Once all missions are complete, Bob Boss appears in his newest acting role, and you have to defeat him in various different ways depending on the world. Bob can also be customized to your liking by collecting various pieces of clothing or tattoos scattered across the worlds, with his color pattern being able to be changed in a separate room. Additionally, after defeating a boss, its weapon and/or clothing will be unlocked for you to use, allowing for several different ways to handle combat.
!!Bang-On Balls: Chronicles provides examples of:
* AirDashing: A core movement mechanic is to propel yourself forward, which also somehow works in midair.
* {{Animesque}}: Time Trouble on Kaiju Island parodies both anime and Japanese culture. For example, most characters have BigAnimeEyes, you enter a giant mecha suit to fight Bob Boss and Bob Boss' role in the movie is of a bunch of giant {{Kaiju}}.
* AsteroidsMonster: Several of the larger enemies split into two smaller enemies each time they're hit.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Bob Boss' kraken form in Kraken's Lost Coins can only be damaged by hitting his suction cups while they're not armored. The second phase instead requires you to hit the top of his head.
* BigAnimeEyes: Several characters in the Time Trouble on Kaiju Island level have large shiny anime eyes.
* CameraAbuse: Bob gets launched to the screen upon dying.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Some of the clothing items give you extra abilities when you wear them. For example, there's a rocket launcher has that allows you to launch rockets at your enemies on command, there's a jet hat that allows you to hover in midair for a few seconds and there's a lava hat that allows you to shoot {{Fireballs}} upon rolling for long enough.
* CoOpMultiplayer: You can play together with someone else both locally and online.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Dying doesn't do much. All it does is deduct half of your money and send you to the previous checkpoint. Most enemies, bosses or minibosses don't regain health, and you can recover your money by smashing the InstantGravestone you left upon dying.
* DoubleJump: Bob can jump once in the air. Notably, if you leave the ground without jumping, with a bounce pad, for example, you'll be able to jump twice in the air.
* EatenAlive: One of Bob Boss' attacks in The Viking Invasion level is to suck you into his mouth ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}''-style, after which you're thrown into his mouth and must repeatedly slam against his uvula to get spat out.
* EverythingBreaks: Almost every single prop in the environment can be destroyed by a dash or GroundPound attack.
* EvilOverlooker: Bob Boss is shown as this in the box art.
* {{Faceship}}: Bob Boss' spaceship in the Cold Race to Space level looks like a larger version of him with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]].
* FinalExamBoss: During the final boss fight against Bob Boss, [[spoiler:he mixes up the costumes he used in the movies, causing him to be able to use several different combined attacks based on his previous fights]].
* GenderBender: You can change Bob's gender in the same place you can change his color pattern.
* GroundPound: One of your main attacks has you slam into the ground in midair.
* HubLevel: The Bobbywood Studios Lot is the area you enter all the movie worlds from. It also includes various bonus areas such as a zoo and an arcade, and it's also where Bob Boss' FinalBoss arena is located.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: The game has blue sheriff stars marked with 'superstar'. If you touch them, you temporarily grow in size, become impervious to damage and deal more damage.
* LastChanceHitPoint: If you're on your last or second last hit point, you heal to 3 hit points if you survive long enough.
* MeaningfulName: Bob Boss being the game's resident RecurringBoss makes his last name appropriate.
* PokemonSpeak: The zombies in the graveyard in The Viking Invasion can only say 'Zombie! Zombie! Zombie!' In a high-pitched voice.
* PortalEndpointResemblance: The rooms that contain the tv portals to each world all have a similar aesthetic to the world the tv portal sends you too. Even more so upon spending movie tapes to unlock more props. The music even changes to an arrangement of the main theme of the world.
* PowerCopying: You can steal the weapons of several bosses upon defeating them.
* PlanetOfSteves: All of the named characters are named 'Bob', which are also the initials of 'Bang-On Balls'.
* RecurringBoss: Bob Boss is fought at the end of each world. Downplayed, though, as he plays a different character each time.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Bob Boss' {{Faceship}} in Cold Race to Space has prominent glowing red eyes. When you're spotted by them, the ship sends out aliens to attack you.
* RegeneratingHealth: A variation. Normally, your health can only be regenerated by health pickups, but if you only have 2 to 1 HP left, your health regenerates to 3 if you survive for long enough.
* RumpRoast: Similar to ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', if you touch lava, you're sent flying upwards, dealing one unit of damage.
* SanitySlippage: Bob Boss loses more and more of his sanity the more you defeat him. After a while, his hair starts sticking out in every direction, after even longer he starts losing hair and LaughingMad.
* SaveGameLimits: The game only has one save file.
* SceneryPorn: The game has quite impressive lighting. The higher the graphics settings, the more beautiful the scenery looks.
* ShockAndAwe: The Mjolnir hammer unlocked upon defeating Bob Boss in The Viking Invasion causes all your attacks to electrify enemies, stunning them for a while.
* ShoutOut:
** All the characters are balls patterned with country flags, which is an obvious reference to ''WebComic/{{Polandball}}''.
** In Bob Boss' fight in Time Trouble on Kaiju Island, he transforms into a [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} giant lizard]], [[Film/{{Mothra}} giant moth]] and a [[Characters/GodzillaMechagodzilla robot version of the giant lizard]] in the first, second and third phase respectively.
** One of the many posters you can find everywhere depicts a ball with bunny-ears captioned with ''[[Magazine/{{Playboy}} Playbob]]''.
** The mecha suit you use to battle Bob Boss with in Time Trouble on Kaiju Island looks an awful lot like [[Franchise/MobileSuitGundam Gundam]].
** The cafeteria in the office building in the hub contains french fries inside of red packaging with a yellow B on it, causing them to look like UsefulNotes/McDonalds fries.
