History YMMV / Bonk

* WidgetSeries: It gets weirder and weirder as the series goes on.

** All of Super Bonk is easier compared to the previous games.

* ThatOneBoss: That ballerina boss in area 3 of ''Bonk's Revenge''. Thankfully you can skip it if you collect enough Smileys in Area 2, but you will eventually have to fight it during the BossRush.

** King Drool's appearance in the first game qualifies as well, sue to being so massive in comparison to later installments.

* ThatOneBoss: That ballerina boss in area 3 of ''Bonk's Revenge''. Thankfully you can skip it if you collect enough Smileys in Area 2, but you will eventually hav etc fight it during the BossRush.

* ContestedSequel: While fans differ on wether ''[[FirstInstallmentWins Bonk's Adventure]]'' or ''[[EvenBetterSequel Bonk's Revenge]]'' is the best game in the series, most considered Bonk 3 the weakest entry in the TurboGrafx series.

** One of the Scout's trademark lines is "I'm gonna headbutt ya! I'm gonna headbutt ya!" Guess what Bonk's main form of attack is.

* DenserAndWackier: ''Bonk's Adventure'' was just a simple lighthearted romp through a [[{{Prehistoria}} dinosaur land]] in order to save a princess from an evil T-Rex. ''Bonk's Revenge'' went a little further, while still keeping the setting intact, ''Bonk 3'' is where the series went completely overboard, with completely random stage design, and entire mini-stages taking [[WombLevel place inside of enemies]], the weirdness only continued in ''Super Bonk'', though this time it was actually justified, as the game was about Bonk travelling through time.

* MagnumOpus: It's two-way battle for supremacy between ''Bonk's Adventure'' and ''Bonk's Revenge'' the direct sequel over which is the best game in the series.

** Both Super Bonk games are also considered to be weaker in comparison to previous titles, with [[OddballInTheSeries Super Bonk 2]] getting it the most

* ContestedSequel - While fans differ on which Bonk game is considered the best, most considered Bonk 3 the weakest entry in the TurboGrafx series.

* FridgeLogic - How did King Drool create a time machine considering the time period in which the series takes place?
* FridgeBrilliance - In addition to sounding like PC-Engine, PC-Genjin translates into "PC Barbarian", fitting considering the title character.

* HarsherInHindsight - The teaser for ''Brink of Extinction'' showed Bonk trying to create fire, only for a meteor to obliterate Bonk (and the Earth as well). Now it seems to sum up what ultimately became of the game. See WhatCouldHaveBeen on the Trivia page.
* HilariousInHindsight - Just try to mention the name of this series without someone bringing up VideoGame/TeamFortress2.

* NightmareFuel - In the last level of ''Bonk's Revenge'', there are dinosaur corpses hanging on hooks. If Bonk walks near them, they fall to the ground and their ghosts come out and attack Bonk.

* ThatOneBoss - That ballerina boss in area 3 of ''Bonk's Revenge''.

* ThatOneLevel: [[SlippySlideyIceWorldThe Big Comet]] in Super Bonk has some of the most aggravating ice physics seen in a video game.

** Both Super Bonk games are also considered to be weaker in comparison to previous titles.

* HarsherInHindsight - The teaser for ''Brink of Extinction'' showed Bonk trying to create fire, only for a meteor to obliterate Bonk (and the Earth as well). Now it seems to sum up what ultimately became of the game. See WhatCouldHaveBeen on the main page.

** King Drool's appearance in the first game qualifies as well, sue to being so massive in comparison to later installments. He may give even [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] a run for his money.
