* UnInstallment: ''[=McPixel=] 3'' is the second game in the series. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEoYnmukN20 A gag promotional video by Devolver]] claims that there was going to be a ''[=McPixel=] 2'', but it was too ambitious to succeed. [[spoiler: Level 4-B is all about McPixel's attempt to find the floppy disk containing McPixel 2.]

Added DiffLines:

* GainaxEnding: The sequel ends on a doozy. [[spoiler:After disarming the final bombs and saving the city, [=McPixel=] accuses Steve of being the one who planted all the bombs throughout the game. Steve denies it, instead claiming that ''[[=Mcpixel=] himself'' did it in order to [[EngineeredHeroic look like a hero]]. As they argue, a bomb suddenly lands between them, and the two duck for cover as it explodes. Cue credits.]]

All in all, Mc Pixel 3 needed some love on here.


* WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire: A mission the sequel puts [=McPixel=] on a pastiche of the show and asks him an incredibly difficult algebra question. Many of the gags are obtained by using his lifeline to phone various friends.

Added DiffLines:

* BitingTheHandHumor: The penultimate mission of the sequel is a heist, where the target is a mansion belonging to Devolver Digital themselves.


Added DiffLines:

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: One of the main additions to the sequel are missions that suddenly shift the game's genre, including a side-scrolling shmup, a racing game, a beat-em-up, several sports, an auto-scrolling platformer and a first-person shooter among others.


Added DiffLines:

* WhamEpisode: The sequel's final level set starts with [=McPixel=] being thrown into a dungeon with a puzzle reminiscent of the tutorial level, interspersed with him doing other wacky shenanigans like running for office and holding a concert. While the shenanigan levels play like normal, the escape sequences follow an oddly structured sequence with continuity. Until the awards ceremony level, which plays out almost entirely like the events of one of the game's trailers, except the solution is [[spoiler:to simply walk out, at which point [=McPixel=] removes his outfit to reveal himself to be Steve in disguise. It turns out he hired someone to kidnap [=McPixel=] while he posed as him in the other levels.]]

Added DiffLines:

* IncredibleShrinkingMan: One set of levels in the sequel subjects [=McPixel=] to a ShrinkRay and tasks him with solving problems involving being considerably smaller than usual.


Added DiffLines:

* LaughTrack: The sitcom-themed levels in the sequel provide one of these whenever [=McPixel=] does anything. [[spoiler:There's also a button to permanently toggle this effect after completing the game.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PerspectiveFlip: One set of levels in the sequel involves playing previously existing levels, but where you control someone involved in the scenario other than [=McPixel=].


Added DiffLines:

** A set of levels in the sequel is based on emulating the graphics of various classic systems, including the Atari 2600, NES, Game Boy, CGA-era PC, and Windows.

* ComedicSociopathy: [=McPixel's=] task is to make sure the bomb doesn't blow up, no one said anything about making sure bystanders don't get hurt or used as battering rams.

* ComedicSociopathy: [=McPixel's=] task is to make sure the bomb doesn't blow up, no one said anything about making sure bystanders don't get hurt or used as battering rams. The sequel's ethics are even looser, and sometimes bombs are allowed to go off as long as [=McPixel=] isn't in the blast radius.



* RebusBubble: The scant amount of character dialogue in the sequel often takes the form of speech bubbles with images and = signs.



* TitleScream: '''MCPIXEL!!''' greets you each time you fire the game up. The same graphic also appears whenever you start and finish a round, though the voice clip itself doesn't occur.
