History VideoGame / Hook

* DegradedBoss: Jason returns as the strongest enemy unit for the last two stages.

* RecurringBoss: Captain Hook himself. In the USA version, you face two weak clones of him, who have a limited arsenal of his moves, then you face him two stages later, where he has improved with the sword, then in the final stage he introduces his gun, and ''then'' you have the true final fight against him. In the Japanese version the clones are absent, but he still has enough fights to count.

* WolfpackBoss: The third boss in the Japanese version is a trio of powerful female pirates.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Depending on the player; in the movie, Ruffio was killed by Hook. This game offers playes the chance to play as Ruffio, which, if they win, means Ruffio survives.
* SpinAttack: Peter and Ruffio can pull this special move to take down multiple pirates at once by tapping attack and jump together.

''Hook'' is a 1992 platform game released by Ocean Software on UsefulNotes/Commodore64, UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem and UsefulNotes/GameBoy, released just one year after [[Film/{{Hook}} the Steven Spielberg film]], with subsequent versions also being released by Creator/SonyImagesoft for the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]], UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, UsefulNotes/SegaCD, and UsefulNotes/GameGear. The game received praise for the large levels, the graphics and the various gameplay styles it features, but has also got a lot of flak about the long loading times (in the C64 version) and the rather repetitive platforming levels.

* DoubleJump: Sort of: touching fairy dust during a jump, rather than granting flight, acts like a springboard sending you up in a second jump which could be necessary in order to clear large chasms.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: the devastating amount of [[LoadingScreen loading screens]] is the main source of the complaints leveled at the game. ''Hook'' is arguably the one game in the Commodore 64 library with the longest and most frequent loading screens, on a platform which is already infamous for its long, boring loading sequences.

* PointAndClickMap: used to select the next level.
* RightHandAttackDog: once you get a fairy to follow you by giving her a thimble, you can send her to hit a pirate while you stay safely behind.
* TrialAndErrorGameplay: you're bound to spend hours exploring the large, labyrinthine levels looking for the items required to move on until you memorize where they're hidden and can optimize the path to take in subsequent playthroughs.
* TwentyBearAsses: several levels require you to find a number of items before you're allowed to proceed to the end.
* UnderTheSea: a few levels take place underwater, with the objective of collecting pearls from giant oysters
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: one level is platforming, the next one could be underwater, then a 2D beat-em up style boss fight, then you get to fly...

* DualBoss: The third boss fight in the USA version, where Peter have to face two copies of Captain Hook... who turns out to be ActuallyADoombot before and after the battle.

* BeeBeeGun: Peter can throw beehives at enemies during gameplay. The bees sting all the enemies around. [[spoiler:It's possible to use an exploit and cut a huge chunk of the Hook's health in the final fight if you throw a beehive while he is getting up.]]

* BeeBeeGun: Peter can throw beehives at enemies during gameplay. The bees sting all the enemies around. [[spoiler:It's possible to use an exploit and cut a huge chunk of the health of Hook in the final fight if you throw a beehive while he is getting up.]]

* SpinAttack: Peter and ruffio can pull this special move to take down multiple pirates at once by tapping attack and jump together.

** Heck, the bumbling Smee serves as a [[ThatOneBoss difficult penultimate boss fight]] and assists Hook with anchors at low health.

* BeeBeeGun: Peter can throw beehives at enemies during gameplay. The bees sting all the enemies around. [[spoiler:It's possible to use an exploit and cut a huge chunk of the health of Hook in the final fight with them.]]

* PipePain: One of the RecurringBoss enemies is a huge, muscular pirate minion armed with a massive pipe, which Peter has to defeat twice (first as the second boss, and again late in the game).

* DualBoss: The third boss fight [[{{Bowlderize}} in the USA version]], where Peter have to face two copies of Captain Hook... who turns out to be ActuallyADoombot after the battle.

** Peter, who went from a mild-mannered, mostly weak lawyer to a badass fighter beating up scores and scores of pirates in multiple levels.
** Heck, the bumbling Smee serves as a [[ThatOneBoss difficult boss fight]] close to the end.
* AnchorsAway: A constant hazard when fighting on the deck of pirate ships. Beware of falling anchors!

!!''Hook'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* ActionizedAdaptation: The movie is a fantasy drama with a bit of action at the end of the film, which the game made up by including ''all'' the action in each and every level.
* AdaptationalBadass: Peter, who went from a mild-mannered, mostly weak lawyer to a badass fighter beating up scores and scores of pirates in multiple levels.
* AnchorsAway: A constant hazard when fighting on the deck of pirate ships. Beware of falling anchors!
* ChefOfIron: The first boss is the ship's cook, who Peter must beat up after taking down all the pirates in the kitchen and larder. He'll use a carving knife and a FryingPanOfDoom to rough up Peter.

* WalkThePlank: Your fate in the game over screen, courtesy of Captain Hook. If you continue, Tinkerbell rescues you just before you drown.

* DoubleJump: sort of: touching fairy dust during a jump, rather than granting flight, acts like a springboard sending you up in a second jump which could be necessary in order to clear large chasms.
* DynamicLoading: used and abused in the C64 version: after loading the world map and choosing the next mission, you have to wait through a loading screen just to see a one-phrase briefing by Tinkerbell, and only then the loading ''of the level'' begins...
