History VideoGame / FancyPantsAdventures

* VideogameSettings:
** HornetHole: [=TommyLM=]'s level in the game is a beehive, with what looks like saddled, fez-wearing bees acting as moving platforms.
** RuinsForRuinsSake: The last level has elements of this, as well as JungleJapes.
** SkyscraperCity: One SecretLevel pairs this with lots of BottomlessPits.

* PirateGirl: Cutie Pants, and not just because she gets captured by them.

* VideogameSettings:
** BubblegloopSwamp: Rolling Bayou.
** DisconnectedSideArea: Goat Mountain, home to one challenge and not much else.
** GangplankGalleon: A good portion of the game is dedicated to exploring the Pirate Cove and Piraty Princess Ship.
** NostalgiaLevel: The Island Express level takes the art style and music of the first two games. The console versions add the ''entire'' previous games back in.
** PalmtreePanic: Bummin' It Beach.
** RemixedLevel: The second time you return to the Piraty Princess Ship/Ninfestation, it's been overrun with ninjas.

* NiceHat: Fancy Pants Man has the option wear a hat in the console versions of ''World 3/Adventures.'' They were removed in the online Flash version, but were brought back for ''Remix'' and ''Super.''

* LosingHorns: The descending notes variation plays upon the loss of a life. Averted in the console version of ''Adventures.''

* LosingHorns: The descending notes variation play upon the loss of a life. Averted in ''Adventures.''

* LosingHorns: The descending notes variation play upon the loss of a life.

* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Happens if Fancy Pants Man dies.

* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Happens if Fancy Pants Man dies. True to his IncorruptiblePurePureness nature, his soul is literally and figuratively an angel.

* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Happens if Fancy Pants Man dies.

** NonLethalBottomlessPits: In challenges that have bottomless pits, falling into one just returns Fancy Pants Man to a checkpoint without losing health or lives (though timed challenges will continue without making up for lost time).

Fancy Pants Man is also playable in ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/381115 Newgrounds Rumble]]'' (as of its May 30th, 2008 update) and [[spoiler:''VideoGame/{{Shift}} [[http://armorgames.com/play/1846/shift-3 3]]'']] (as a NewGamePlus SecretCharacter).

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Fancy Pants Man and Cutie Pants are the only stick figures in a non-stick figure world.

While it started out on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, it eventually made its way to the UsefulNotes/PlaystationNetwork and UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade and earned its own website [[http://www.fancypantsadventures.com/ here]]. The downloadable game was eventually rereleased free, but without multiplayer aspects or the time trials, as ''World 3''. The downloadable game has also been released as an [[IOSGames iOS game]].

''[[http://www.bornegames.com/ Fancy Pants Adventures]]'' is a series of {{Platformer}} WebGames created by Brad Borne. The games concern the title stick figure [[CaptainObvious with orange pants]] running around trying to wake a giant penguin (in ''[[http://armorgames.com/play/301/fancy-pants-adventures World 1]]'' [[[http://www.kongregate.com/games/DrNeroCF/fpa-world-1-remix remix]]]) take back his beloved ice cream from a rabbit (in ''[[http://armorgames.com/play/553/the-fancy-pants-adventure-world-2 World 2]]''), save [[DamselInDistress Cutie Pants]] (in ''[[http://armorgames.com/play/13155/fancy-pants-adventures-world-3 World 3]]''), or fight off an invasion of ink monsters (in ''[[http://store.steampowered.com/app/668210/Super_Fancy_Pants_Adventure Super]]'').

* SpikesOfDoom: Normally nonexistent, but ''World 2'''s Afro Ninja course and the bottom of a section of a challenge area in ''World 3'' has them.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ice cream is first shown as the food of choice in ''World 2'' as a Fancy Golfball reward. ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' shows Fancy Pants Man being lured into the Newgrounds realm with a fake 'Free Ice Cream Day', and Cutie Pants requests rainbow-flavored ice cream in ''World 3''.

* ShoutOut: The fighting controls for the pencil reflect those of Fancy Pants Man's combos in ''Newgrounds Rumble'', since Borne designed every aspect of his inclusion in that game.

* VirtualPaperDoll: The console versions allow players to customize Fancy Pants Man with various pieces of headgear, various styles of pants, and an assortment of odd, aesthetic weapons.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Thanks to a reconstructed physics engine, the physics in ''World 1 Remix'' and ''World 4'' more 'floaty' than the physics in ''World 1'', ''World 2'', and ''World 3''. This can lead to players failing to run through ledges where momentum in later games would allow them to do so.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The online Flash version's Nutty Squirrel rewards Fancy Pants Man with "a squirrel-y prize", which is a dark-green pair of pants. How is that squirrel-y? The console versions have instead as a reward an acorn-shaped hat, much more relative to squirrels than a forest-like green.

* NuttySquirrel: The squirrel on the balloon in Canopy Forest ''really'' wants to be a flying squirrel.

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: In the Pirate Cove, Fancy Pants Man never needs air when he's diving. Borne says that this was intentional, as he wanted the water level to be fun, rather than as a ScrappyLevel. [[invoked]] %%and defied.

* ChekhovsGun: A pencil appears in the first few moments of the game as a golf club for Fancy Golfball. The pencil would return in ''NewgroundsRumble'' and ''World 3'' as a weapon.
