History VideoGame / HypeTheTimeQuest

* WalletUpgrade: Completing Wellet's race during the Second Era earns Hype one, which allows him to carry 500 Plastyks instead of 200.

->''I... I remember! I'm Hype.''
->-- One of Hype's three lines.

* SNK Boss: Dark Hype.

* {{Alternate Universe}}: subverted, as Hype frequently time travels backwards, once resulting in everyone's memory loss 50 years in the future.

* {{Government In Exile}}: Duh.

* {{La Resistance}}: Vibe in the fourth era. 'Nuff said.

* {{Mirror Match}}: The last boss of the third Era.
** Except that he's soooo much more powerful than you! Plus, he has some magic that you wouldn't have at that point!

* {{Mooks}}: guards and such.

* {{Paused Interrupt}}: Happens in just about every conversation involving more than one NPC.

* PowerupMount: Zatila.

* {{SNK Boss}}: Dark Hype.

* SpaceFillingPath: Rajoth's library, mostly.
* {{Spirit Advisor}}: [[spoiler: Gogoud in the fourth era.]]
* {{Steampunk}}: The Laboratory is made of this.

* SuicidalOverconfidence: Mooks, mostly.
** Rajoth and Enost, too.
*** Forget that, all bossed fall into this trope!

The game was released in 1999 with another Playmobil game aimed for a younger audience: ''VideoGame/LaurasHappyAdventures''.

* PlotCoupon: The Royal Jewels, which each allow hype to move to the next era.

* {{Bag of Holding}}

* {{Darker And Edgier}}: Fourth Era.

* {{Doomed Hometown}}: Need I say more?

* {{Hes Back}}: Eh... Sorta.
* {{Hit Points}}: Duh.

* KillItWithIce: Rajoth

* PlotCoupon

* ExplosionPropulsion: Exploding barrels send Hype flying. But the best example of this is the final sutscene, when [[spoiler: the sundial explodes]], propelling Hype off the edge of the tower. Naturally, he's right as rain in the following clip.
** Wait, how has the [[EasterEgg girl]] in the second era, standing on top of the barrels near the laboratory that, when the barrels are shot, flies into the sky and re-descends in the FOURTH era not been mentioned yet?

* {{Musical Gameplay}}: Several of the cutscenes will change the music. Notably [[spoiler: [[AwesomeMusic When Gogoud visits Hype in the 4th era]] ]]or when you speak with Zatila at certain parts.

* [[spoiler: {{Spirit Advisor}}: Gogoud in the fourth era.]]

* RingOut: Mhasse. More of ring in.

* [[spoiler: {{A God Am I}}: Inverted. Barnak ''was'' a god, and now he just wants a kingdom to rule.]]

* {{Badbutt}}: Senekal
** Gogoud too, when you learn of his [[JawDrop origin.]]

* {{Benevolent Architecture}}: this troper could go on for days talking about Torras.
* {{Best Boss Ever}}: Senekal and the gladiator.

*** And it's been driving This Troper crazy!

* {{First Episode Spoiler}}: [[spoiler: Arguably Gogoud being the guardian of time. He states it blatantly in the opening cutscene, but by the time the player reaches the part of the game where it actually happens, they'll usually have forgotten about it.]]

* {{Guns Are Worthless}}: Halfway played straight. The blue bolts are pathetic, while red ones are even more powerful than Hype's sword... on mooks. Certain bosses take damage from it, but some don't. But when it comes to those GoddamnedBats, the crossbow is your best friend.

* {{Infallible Babble}}: Tips on defeating bosses, Gogoud's whereabouts, and the crazy guy who really DOES babble.
** Let's not forget that practically ''everyone'' in the fourth era tells you to go to the inn.

* JawDrop: The common reaction when one learns of Gogoud's origin: [[spoiler: "A magician eternal, Gogoud is the son of magic. He was born of a strange combination of molecules, a combination generated by the legendary storm which created the sea in olden times.]]

** Justified? That sword snaps into figures hands just fine, seems to make sense to me.

* NostalgiaFilter: Oh GOOOOOOOOD!

* {{Scenery Porn}}: The Brigand's village.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Let's see... jumping over bottomless pits, killing ghosts, climbing to absurd altitudes on tiny rafters... seems pretty fair to this troper.

Hype: The Time Quest is a video game based on the line of German toys: Playmobil.
It takes place in the medieval period, although [[SchizoTech some buttons and elevators]] can be found thorughout the game.

* AssPull: At first Zatila can only fly for so long. Then, he gets so invigorated by collecting the Energia Prisma that he can suddenly fly forever.

* {{Best Boss Ever}}: Senekal and the gladiator.
* {{Breather Level}}: The monastery is a quarter as hard as the first challenge: the dungeon.
** Gathering the flags is likely one of the easiest parts of the game (with the exception of the second era, which is still easier than most of the stuff you have to put up with before that point).

* {{Game Breaker}}: Magia Glacia Ring, but only for the Voydh boss-battle.

* {{Goddamned Bats}}: The bats, quite obviously. It's most evident at Gogoud's manner in the second and fourth eras. Also the Field of Courage in the third.

* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler: Barnak turning Voydh into a baby dragon.]]

* {{Late To the Party}}: Finally, back in my own time- whoops! Why is everything dark, the people brainwashed, and the guards trying to kill me?

* {{SNK Boss}}: Dark Hype. With a rapid-fire crossbow, and EVERY magic in the game (including ones that the player wouldn't have by that time), as well as more health than Hype. Not to mention the fact that his AI is actually often SMARTER than the target audience: smart enough to time his magic so that your magic attacks never hit!

** Wait, how has the [[EasterEgg: girl]] in the second era, standing on top of the barrels near the laboratory that, when the barrels are shot, flies into the sky and re-descends in the FOURTH era not been mentioned yet?

* WarringWithoutWeapons: Hype's first visit to the dungeon, and when Karon takes his crossbow.

* {{Power Glows}}: Hype's fully charged sword.

* {{Schizo Tech}}: Button-operated elevators... three of them. Not to mention a drawbridge that can be drawn from the opposite side of the court.

* {{Sequence Breaking}}: See Classic Cheatcode.
* {{Side Quest}}: Getting the speed boots and pack extensions.
* {{Side View}}: In the game boy version.
* {{Sorting Algorithm Of Weapon Effectiveness}}: Crossbow bolts, and sword upgrades, but the most prominent example of this would have to be Hype's magic.

* StopPoking Me: More of a "Stop talking to me". A woman near the well in the second Era runs away from Hype several times, before dropping money on the ground and disappearing.

* TalkToveryone: In Torras's first era, certain townsfolk give you advice on how to kill Granslak in 1/3 or 2/3 of the time (depends on how fast you move).
