* StockDinosaurs: Played straight AND averted. While you get plenty of stock species, the game also offers plenty of not so famous ones, several of which are mentioned here on this page. Interestingly enough, some popular animals like ''Styracosaurus'', ''Plesiosaurus'', and ''Megatherium'' are absent from the game.

Turtle Power is no longer a trope


* TurtlePower: The Aquatic Park features ''Archelon'', famously the largest turtle of all. Although not turtles, the ''Henodus'' and ''Psephoderma'' are similar in appearance and share its animations. The Glacier Park meanwhile has ''Meiolania'', one of the largest tortoises. Indeed they can be powerful, but they can just as easily be defeated.

''Jurassic Park: Builder'' is a mobile application based on the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise, released in July 2012 by Ludia. It's a zoo business management game, similar to ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon'' and ''VideoGame/JurassicParkOperationGenesis''. The player builds their own theme park to raise prehistoric animals, starting off with the classic non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs on Isla Nublar, then various extinct marine animals in an Aquatic Park, and finally a Glacier Park located in Patagonia featuring Cenozoic animals. The game also puts emphasis on the combat feature, allowing the player to pit his/her animals against each other in an arena, as well as the option to battle other players in a tournament. It is followed up by a sequel in 2015 ''VideoGame/JurassicWorldTheGame'', also made by Ludia. However on March 30th in 2020 the game’s servers (and thus the game itself) were permanently shut down therefore the game can no longer be played.

* AlternateUniverse: The game's events are stated to take place between ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' and ''Film/JurassicWorld''. However, multiple factors make it clear this is not canon, in particular the inclusion of many non-Mesozoic extinct animals, like ''Dunkleousteus'' and Woolly mammoth.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: When an animal is level 21 or above it will be vividly colored, while before it was a dull monochrome with occasional stripes or spots. Some of the color schemes are pretty bizarre, for example the ''Iguanodon'' can become purple with star-shaped spots.
* AnimalGenderBender: While none of the animals' gender is ever officially revealed, presumably they are all female like in the rest of the franchise. However there are a few problems with that. For example, all the ''Pteranodon'' and ''Pterodactylus'' in the game have large crests, which in reality were possessed only by males of the species. Likewise, all the ''Megaloceros'' and ''Synthetoceras'' have antlers/horns, even though this trait was completely absent in females.

* AnachronismStew and MisplacedWildlife: The player can buy and place animals from different locations and time periods together.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Hoo-boy, where to start with? Ignoring the mistakes carried over from the novels and movies, the ''Pterodactylus'' is basically a smaller differently colored ''Pteranodon'', ''Albertosaurus'' has three fingers instead of two, ''Carnotaurus'' has arms way too big, the ''Giganotosaurus'' is a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' with spikes on its' back and head, the ''Amargasaurus'' has one sail instead of two(as well as being incorrectly shaped) and the ''Ouranosaurus'' looks more like a pelycosaur than an ornithopod. The Glacier Park seems to be hit worst with this: ''Smilodon'' has a long tail, ''Gastornis'' is classified as a carnivorous terror bird, Andrewsarchus is portrayed resembling a dog and implied to be a mesonychid, while many other animals have incorrect proportions, bios, names, diet, or just cannot exist there in the first place. Did we mention this game was made in 2012? See the other tropes here for specific examples.
* AscendedtoCarnivorism and VegetarianCarnivore: These issues are present both in the Aquatic and Glacier parks. Specific examples include the ''Mosasaurus'' being depicted as a crustaceavore and the ''Gigantopithecus'' as a carnivore. It is most likely done so as to balance the animal ratio between carnivores/piscivores (more attack, less health) and herbivores/crustaceavores (more health, less attack).
* BearsAreBadNews: Despite not being a bear, this is how ''Sarkastodon'' is portrayed. Curiously, the ''Diprotodon'' (giant wombat) and ''Castoroides'' (giant beaver) have the same 'bear' animations and sound effects, despite being a marsupial and a rodent respectivelly. The game lacks actual prehistoric bear species, like the cave bear and the short-faced bear.
* BoringButPractical: Collecting coins from animals and food from the harbour to level up your creatures and purchase buildings/scenery, in order to complete missions and gain experience points. When done enough you gain a level and unlock new things, including more animals for purchase.

* FossilRevival: Well, this '''is''' a Jurassic Park game, so it's a given. Specifically, the Jurassic animals are cloned via insects trapped in amber like in the rest of the franchise, the Aquatic animals via fossilized leech-like parasites containing their blood, and the Glacier ones via their frozen remains (a spinal cord/bone is shown in the game).

* GentleGiant: Many of the largest animals to ever live are available for purchase, like ''Dreadnoughtus'', ''Leedsichtys'' and ''Paraceratherium''. Not completely gentle however, since they can kick a lot of ass in the battle arenas and modes.
* GiantEqualsInvincible: Zig-zagged. While many of the top-tier fighters are indeed giant megafauna, there are also some smaller critters classified as powerful Golds. Likewise, some giant animals like ''Spinosaurus'', ''Brachiosaurus'', ''Leedsichtys'', ''Basilosaurus'', Woolly mammoth, and ''Eremotherium'' are placed in the weak Bronzes or Silvers, even though they are bigger than an adult African elephant.
* GiantSquid: Appears in the Aquatic Park, though it's called 'Colossal Squid' instead (the two are distinct separate animal species). It's possible the developers meant to name it ''Tusoteuthis'', but forgot. Or simply not bothered, and decided 'Colossal Squid' sounds better.
* GottaCatchThemAll: This game is more or less Franchise/{{Pokemon}} meets ''Franchise/JurassicPark''. You have a total of [[LoadsandLoadsofCharacters 130]] various prehistoric animals to obtain, care for, evolve and use in combat, some harder to unlock than others. Good luck.

It is one of the five animals which must be bought with RealLife money (the other being ''Euplocephalus'', ''Edestus'', ''Castoroides'' and ''Arthropleura''). However the other four can also be unlocked from winning a DNA Tournament, whereas the ''Indominus'' is available for purchase '''only twice in a year''' (on Easter Day and on Christmas). Many of the creatures for the games' roster were decided via fan polls and were obviously inspired by other prehistoric animal media, for example ''Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs'', ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon'', ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly:
** Both this and PredatorsAreMean are Invoked. Herbivores and crustaceavores's exhibits are not surrounded by any fencing and can take a lot of damage in a fight, but can't dish it out. Meanwhile the carnivores are the opposite- more attack power and less health. Not only are their cages surrounded by metal fences, but are also visibly build deeper in the ground. Though it's anyone's guess how the aquatic animals and pterosaurs don't swim/fly out seeing as there's no roof on their enclosures, or the herbivores don't simply walk off out and start rampaging.
** There is a 'Code Red' minigame in which the carnivorous dinosaurs will be upset and try to escape during a thunder storm. If the player manages to prevent them from wreaking havoc for the storm's duration, they will be rewarded with coins. Even if a dinosaur escapes it's not a big problem, since they will just be unavailable for a few minutes and they will be returned to their repaired cage if one is patient enough.

Some related animals however have different movesets(e.g. ''Albertosaurus'' and ''Yutyrannus'' use the allosaurid animations, and spinosaurid animations respectively, instead of the tyrannosaurid). Also animations of ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' itself). Also, some animals have unique movesets (for example ''Indominus rex'', ''Colossal Squid'', ''Gigantopithecus'' and ''Procoptodon'').

* OneHitKill and CurbStompBattle: It is possible for this to happen in the Tournament mode for either side, and can be easilly accomplished in the Versus arena, especially if Level 40 (MAX) Golds are placed against Bronzes and use either a strong or a Special attack. Though in all fairness, during the Tournament mode the computer does try to put in enemies equal in power to you and make the battles more balanced.

** Of note is that the PowerLevels '''do not''' follow scientific accuracy. For example ''Brachiosaurus'', ''Leedsichtys'' and Woolly Mammoth are large powerful animals in the real world, whereas in the game are weak Bronzes. Meanwhile, much smaller animals like ''Dryosaurus'', ''Hyneria'' and Dodo bird are considered strong Gold and some are even top-tiers no less.

* RaptorAttack: You get two more dromeosaurids besides the standard Jurassic Park/Jurassic World ''Velociraptors''- ''Utahraptors'' which are bigger and have feathers, as well as ''Troodons'' which are smaller and lack feathers. The ''Compsognathus'' also acts like a raptor, even though it remains a PintsizedPowerhouse KillerRabbit.

** The ''Arsinoitherium'', ''Uintatherium'', ''Coryphodon'' and ''Moeritherium'' also have the same behaviour, despite not being members of the rhino family.
** If ceratopsians count, then also ''Triceratops'', ''Torosaurus'', ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' and ''Nasutoceratops'' from the basic park.

* SavageWolves: The creodonts ''Amphicyon'', ''Hyaenodon'' and ''Andrewsarchus'' have 'canine' animations and behave like dogs. Their Special attack is pretty vicious(biting and gnawing the enemy to death). They even howl during their idle and victory animations. Unusual is the absent of the popular dire wolves.
* SeaMonster: The Aquatic Park is full of these, though how 'monstrous' they really are is left for interpretation.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: This game rivals and even surpasses others like ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon'' in the obscurity of many animals in its' roster: ''Nasutoceratops'', ''Tapejara'', ''Trinacromerum'', ''Gillicus'', ''Amebelodon'', ''Archaeotherium'', the list goes on...

* StockDinosaurs: Played straight AND averted. While you get plenty of stock species, the game also offers plenty of not so famous ones, several of which are mentioned here on this page. Interestingly enough, some popular animals like ''Styracosaurus'', ''Kentrosaurus'', ''Dimorphodon'', ''Quetzalcoatlus'', ''Plesiosaurus'', ''Liopleurodon'', ''Deinotherium'', ''Megatherium'', ''Brontotherium'' and ''Glyptodon'' are absent from the game.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The battles are turn-based, with the combatants having 15 seconds to choose one of 6 moves, which waste a turn: Charge, Bite, Swipe as well as Change Animal, Block or Special Attack. Every animal has a weakness to one of the three attack types and choosing the right one will deal 100% damage, but making the wrong choice will deal either 50% or 25%. A Special Attack deals a whopping '''150% damage'''. However, playing the Block option will nullify all damage, even from a Special Attack.
* TentacledTerror: The Aquatic Park has ''Ammonite'', ''Colossal Squid'', ''Baculites'' and ''Orthoceras''.
* ThreateningShark: You get ''Helicoprion'', ''Edestus'', ''Hybodus'' and of course {{Megalodon}}. Some fish in the game also act simular to sharks, while not being related (e.g. the ''Dunkleousteus'' and ''Xiphactinus'').
* TurnBasedCombat: How the battles are played. Each opponent has 15 seconds in which to make their move. When it's the enemy's turn, the player has a 3 seconds chance to react fast enough and block the attack. Of note is that in the Tournament mode it's possible for the enemy to have the first go, which may give the player a huge disadvantage.
* TurtlePower: The Aquatic Park features an ''Archelon''. Although not turtles, the ''Henodus'' and ''Psephoderma'' are similar. And the Glacier Park has ''Meiolania''. While amongst the largest turtles to have ever existed, they are still dwarfed by most of the other animals.

If one visits their Facebook page or reads the messages which appear in-game whenever an animal hatches or evolves, they could learn quite a lot about the creatures and prehistory in general. Even the ''Indominus rex'' bio is faithful to its' source material.

''Jurassic Park: Builder'' is a mobile application based on the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise, released in July 2012 by Ludia. It's a zoo business management game, similar to ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon'' and ''VideoGame/JurassicParkOperationGenesis''. The player builds their own theme park to raise prehistoric animals, starting off with the classic non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs on Isla Nublar, then various extinct marine animals in an Aquatic Park, and finally a Glacier Park located in Patagonia featuring Cenozoic animals. The game also puts emphasis on the combat feature, allowing the player to pit his/her animals against each other in an arena, as well as the option to battle other players in a tournament. It is followed up by a sequel in 2015 ''VideoGame/JurassicWorldTheGame'', also made by Ludia.
On March 31st 2020, the game’s servers (and thus the game itself) were permanently shut down.
