History VideoGame / OverTheHedge

* SpinAttack: All of the {{Limit Break}}s involve the character either performing a powerful spinning attack (RJ, Verne and any two characters stacked on top of each other) or running around in circles (Hammy). Stella is the only exception, as her attack involves her simply [[{{Fartillery}} gassing the area around her]].

* ExpressiveHealthBar: At full to half health, your character's portrait has a neutral expression. When reduced to a quarter of their health, they become visibly tired. If knocked out, the portrait has them knocked out while stars spin around their head.

* AnimalStereotypes: The ones used in the movie return, there's now an angry rottweiler, and the enemies fit this pretty well.

* DoubleJump: All playable characters can do this, and the aerial attack doubles as a third jump.

* {{Fartillery}}: [[SmellySkunk Stella]] uses her stink in her moveset: she farts for her DoubleJump and her powerful attack involves her gassing the area around her.

* LaserHallway: Not used in hallways, but there are many lasers protecting backyards. And in at least one house, there are lasers in the dining room.

* PowerUpFood: Spuddies and other food will restore your health.

%%* SharedLifeMeter:

%%** Golf clubs and golf balls for RJ.
%%** Hockey sticks and hockey pucks for Verne.
%%** Twigs and boomerangs for Hammy.
%%** Plungers and frisbees for Stella.

* WeaponOfChoice:
** Golf clubs and golf balls for RJ.
** Hockey sticks and hockey pucks for Verne.
** Twigs and boomerangs for Hammy.
** Plungers and frisbees for Stella.

* NiceHat: The game features a series of hats, some of which are obtained from the {{King Mook}}s while others can be obtained via exploration, that provide various types of protection against enemy attacks. However, each is only available once; after you collect the hat and complete the mission, it gets added to your collection in The Woods, and will no longer spawn in the level. Between levels, you can choose which hats you want your fielded characters to wear.

* GratuitousFrench: Henri the Taxidermist from the handheld game likes using this, complete with insisting [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY that his name is to be pronounced the French way]]. According to Dwayne it's because he went to art college.

-->'''Rottweiler:''' HOLD STILL SO I CAN EAT'CHA! WHERE'S YOUR MANNERS? WERE YOU RAISED IN A BARN?\\

** If both fielded characters are stacked on each other, the special attack becomes a whirling tornado move.

* ShoutOut: The hat found in the bear-filled Cave Interiors is none other than a firefighter's helmet, referencing Smokey the Bear.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Stella is the only playable hedgie, with Heather and Penny being [=NPCs=].

* BearsAreBadNews: Mind controlled bear cubs are the toughest mooks you face. Vincent returns as a boss as well.

* CanonForeigner: All versions of the game have plenty, including Rufus the blue jay.

* MechaMooks: Robots appear quite frequently as enemies, often disguised as mundane objects like shrubs and barrels before they sprout deadly spinning blades and attack you, begin pelting you with ping-pong balls, or [[MookMaker spew out enemies]].

* {{Fartillery}}: [[SmellySkunk Stella]] uses her stink in her moveset: she farts for her DoubleJump and her LimitBreak involves her gassing the area around her.

** There’s also his rottweiler guard dog, who shouts angry threats in a crazed way as he chases the animals.

* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The Rottweiler. Unlike Nugent, the one from the movie, this one's an AngryGuardDog who explicitly wants to eat the woodland animals. He also seems to be AxCrazy, based upon his dialogue while he chases them.

As a side note, versions for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance and UsefulNotes/NintendoDS were also made, though these were different from the console versions and revolved around the animals trying to get endangered species to move into the area to prevent it from being destroyed. It also introduced Dwayne's brother, Henri, who is a taxidermist.

* DevelopersForesight:
** Each of the four playable characters have their own dialogue for almost every single level, and they have different lines depending on which player slot they're in. There are hundreds of different lines for each character and level, and it's worth playing the same level with different teams just to hear them all. There's even a hint about it given upon completing the game.

** Hammy's ranged attack has him throwing a boomerang. If you throw one off into the distance and stand there, it'll fly back and smack him in the head (for no damage).
