Added DiffLines:

* AlienInvasion: In ''Universal Tour''. They replace the normal enemies, and gradually their buildings replace the normal buildings as well.


Added DiffLines:

* DestructiveSavoir: The monsters in ''Universal Tour'', ironically enough. The aliens plans to invade the Earth ends up getting thwarted by the monsters, who go on to level their home planet as well.


Added DiffLines:

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The aliens in ''Universal Tour''. You free the monsters from the previous two games, then out of nowhere, Earth is invaded by aliens.


Added DiffLines:

* HumongousMecha: Two types in ''World Tour'': one attacks with flamethrowers, the bigger version punches you and turns into the smaller variant when destroyed.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Fartillery}}
** Harley's special power in ''Through Time''.
** Averted in ''Total Destruction''. The monsters can fart and burp, but it doesn't do any damage.
* {{Gasshole}}: The monsters in ''Total Destruction'' will ''always'' burp and/or fart after they eat someone or something. [[UpToEleven Even the ones who don't physically have a mouth or anus]].
* GuideDangIt:
** ''Total Destruction'' does not tell the players which city each monster should go to in order to unlock a new special power. Which means you'll probably be replaying the ''entire game over and over and over again'' with all the monsters just to find them all.
** The game also doesn't even hint at where they can find the new monsters to unlock. That means you need to search every single city, every single district, every single building, '''every single window'''...


Added DiffLines:

* ToiletHumour: Mostly in ''Total Destruction'', as listed above under {{Gasshole}}. Even the loading screens weren't immune to this; during the loading screens, you can randomly press buttons on the controller, and some of them trigger a farting or belching noise.


Added DiffLines:

* VomitIndiscretionShot: In all of the games, if the monsters eat something hazardous, they'll probably regurgitate it. It's worse in ''Total Destruction'', as the monsters actually sound like they're puking their guts out instead of just spitting or groaning, [[{{Squick}} and the vomit looks much grosser]].

Added DiffLines:

** In a 2 player or more game, if one of the other players dies and turns back to human, one of the other players can eat them... which only gains the player that did so a tiny bit of health and drops their score to zero.

** Lampshaded [[http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/603.html in this article]] where Lizzie says that George requested she wear pink ribbons on her tail to let people know she's female, and more importantly from George's perspective, prevent people from thinking he's gay for having an relationship with Lizzie.

Up to three simultaneous players control the monsters George (a Film/KingKong-like gorilla), Lizzy (a {{Godzilla}}-like dinosaur/lizard), or Ralph (a giant werewolf), created from mutated humans. They need to raze all buildings in a high-rise city to advance to the next level, eating people and destroying helicopters, tanks, taxis, police cars, boats, and trolleys along the way.

* ShoutOut - In the original ''Rampage'' there were certain people that the monsters could hold in their hand for a short time. George's resembled that girl from ''KingKong''.

* AlliterativeName - A great number of the monsters that appeared in the series have names that are alliterative with their species. George is a gorilla, Lizzie a lizard, Jack Jackalope, Jill Jellyfish, the list goes on. Seems the animal a person mutates into depends almost entirely on their name.



* {{Mutants}} - According to the storyline this what the monsters are.
