History VideoGame / BattleKid2MountainOfTorment

* EasyModeMockery: Easy Mode gives you three hit points instead of just one, and turns your suit [[PinkMeansFeminine bright pink]].

* NintendoHard: It's easier than the first game, but it is still quite difficult.

* BonusDungeon: There are three of them, each accessed via a password given upon beating certain difficulties. All of them have {{Bonus Boss}}es.

* {{Retraux}}: Taken UpToEleven by the fact that it's an NES game compiled and released in ''2012''.

* [[HeKnowsAboutTimedHits Dr. B Knows About Timed Hits]]: Dr. B tells you in order to activate the comm unit that she gives you before the NoobCave, to press Select while paused.

* [[spoiler:TheHeroDies: Happens in one of the Bad Endings.]]

* UnderwaterBossBattle: Lobsterbot. The Muckswimmers kind of count too but that's in sludge.

''Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Torment'' is an NES game made by Sivak Games, as the sequel to ''VideoGame/BattleKidFortressofPeril''. Like the last game, ''Battle Kid 2'' is an honest ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'', minus the PlatformHell. Like the first game, every death is [[YetAnotherStupidDeath your fault]], not the game's. It uses a ten-character password system (unless you're on Hard or [[HarderThanHard harder]]), has the same {{Metroidvania}} gameplay of the first Battle Kid, and boasts "over 650 rooms, 25 enemy types, 13 boss battles, 42 music tracks, and more bonus features this time around."

''Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Torment'' is an NES game made by Sivak Games, as the sequel to [[VideoGame/BattleKidFortressofPeril Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril]]. Like the last game, Battle Kid 2 is an honest [[VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy I Wanna Be the Guy]], minus the [[Main/PlatformHell Platform Hell]]. Like the first game, every death is [[Main/YetAnotherStupidDeath your fault]], not the game's. It uses a ten-character password system (unless you're on Hard or [[Main/HarderThanHard harder]]), has the same Metroidvania gameplay of the first Battle Kid, and boasts "over 650 rooms, 25 enemy types, 13 boss battles, 42 music tracks, and more bonus features this time around."

The plot picks up almost exactly where the first game left off. After [[Main/OneHitPointWonder One Hit Point Wonder]] [[Main/KidHero Kid Hero]] Timmy infiltrates the Fortress of Il'Akab, he finally manages to destroy the [[Main/HumongousMecha supermech]]. Although a majority of the ones behind it got away, Timmy does manage to capture one of them, Chester Donovan, and bring them back to Disch Corp, where Timmy's friend Dr. Tina Byers administers a [[Main/TruthSerum Truth Serum]] that slowly drives Chet to madness, and he finally talks, revealing the contingency plan he had mentioned back at the Fortress. It is discovered that the other two people behind the supermech, Helga Kraftie and Ivan Mekanovich, are building a mega cannon at the Shoh'Mec Mountains, which Timmy must stop again.

* BadEnding: There's two of them. [[spoiler: With no Orrexium shards, TheBadGuyWins and blows up Timmy's city. If you have at least one shard but not all seven, Timmy [[Main/NiceJobBreakingItHero makes the core go unstable]], obliterating himself and the rest of the mountain base. Both bad endings result in a NonstandardGameOver.]]

* BonusDungeon: There are three of them, each accessed via a password given upon beating certain difficulties. All of them have [[Main/BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]].

* EasyModeMockery: Easy Mode gives you three hit points instead of just one, and turns your suit [[Main/PinkMeansFeminine bright pink]].

* HarderThanHard: "Normal" gives you [[Main/OneHitPointWonder one hit point]], infinite continues, and passwords to pick up where you left off. However, the harder difficulties give you limited continues, and no passwords, right up to [[Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Unfair]], where you only get one life. You still die in one hit.

* MultipleEndings: There are three endings in Battle Kid 2, depending on how many [[spoiler:[[Main/MacGuffin Orrexium shards]]]] you have.

** If you fail the SimonSaysMiniGame in the glacial caverns, you get [[Main/SuburbanCommando frozen today]].

->''[[Main/ContinuityNod "And here... we... go again..."]]''

* [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything Sivak Thinks Of Everything]]: There are a couple of moments.
** In the sixth area, there is a minigame required to obtain a shard of Orrexium. This minigame requires you to pay attention to the binary on top of the screen, then you get an allotted amount of time to move to a safe zapper (those shown by a zero). Sivak disables pausing for this minigame so players don't try to cheat their way out of it.
** To prevent players from just waiting in the corner of the room during the Doppelganger Constructor fight, the boss activates floor spikes early in the fight.
** Even on easy mode, touching spikes, turbines, and larger bosses is an InstantKill no matter what.
** When you fight the Doppelganger Constructor on Easy mode, the clones are purple instead of greenish-brown. The orange clones remain.
** After blowing up [[spoiler: the mega cannon's core]] on easy mode, Ivan calls you a little ''pink'' bastard instead of green.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Ivan calls Timmy a bastard later in the game. Though once you consider it's a homebrew and not a lisenced NES game, there's not much of a "radar" to get crap past.

->''"And here... we... go again..."''

* MacGuffin: The Orrexium shards. [[spoiler: You need them to blow up the mega cannon's core and get to the final area.]]

* NoobCave: There is an intro stage in the game.

* {{Retraux}}: Taken UpToEleven by the fact that's an NES game compiled and released in ''2012''.

* ThatOneLevel: Special Stage 3 and the level you go through to get the Damage Amp powerup.

* BadEnding: There's two of them. [[spoiler: With no Orrexium shards, TheBadGuyWins and blows up your city. If you have at least one shard but not all seven, Timmy [[Main/NiceJobBreakingItHero makes the core go unstable]], obliterating himself and the rest of the mountain base. Both bad endings result in a NonstandardGameOver.]]

* BonusDungeon: There are three of them, each accessed via a password given upon beating certain difficulties. All of them have [[Main/BonusBoss bonus bosses]].

* Checkpoint Starvation: There is only one working checkpoint per special stage. The first checkpoint does something funny instead of saving your game.

* FakeDifficulty: Averted, it's actually slightly easier than the first game.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Ivan calls Timmy a bastard later in the game.

* LoadBearingBoss: [[spoiler: After beating the final boss you have two minutes to get out of the battleship.]]

* NoobCave: There is an intro stage in the game. WordOfGod states that he wanted something to ease the player into the game.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Helga is seen safe and sounds after Timmy escapes the battleship in the good ending, where she goes through a monologue that eventually ends with her threatening Timmy.]]

** WordOfGod mentions that he made plenty of other Shout-Outs as well as these two, that are a little less obvious.
*** The name of the city, G1 City, is a reference to a site that featured him, [[ScrewAttack ScrewAttack]].
*** The name "Shoh'mec" is an anagram of Dragon Lance character Chemosh.

* Expy: Timmy is still [[VideoGame/IWannaBetheGuy The Kid]] without his cape.

* Fanfare: Plays after beating any boss.

* Metroidvania: The whole game has many Metroidvania elements. One big open level for you to go through, items for you to find and can't advance without, lots and lots of backtracking, and of course teleporters to get you around.

* ShoutOut: If you fail the SimonSaysMiniGame in the glacial caverns, you get [[Main/SuburbanCommando frozen today]]. Also Special Stage 3's fake checkpoint is a Rick Roll, complete with a "Never Gonna Save Your Game" message.

* MultipleEndings: There are three endings in Battle Kid 2, depending on how many [[Spoiler: [[Main/MacGuffin Orrexium shards]]]] you have.

* Fanfare: Plays after beating the first boss.
* FlipScreenScrolling

* Metroidvania
* MultipleEndings

* PointOfNoReturn: [[spoiler:Entering the battleship after obtaining the seven shards of Orrexium.]]

* ShoutOut: If you fail the SimonSaysMiniGame in the glacial caverns, you get [[Main/SuburbanCommando frozen today]].

* SpikesOfDoom: There's plenty of them.
