History YMMV / WildWoody

* AntiClimaxBoss: As the last Totem head to collect, Tombstone is hyped up to be a major opponent - his levels are themed after skeletons and death, he directly gloats to Woody in a loud, deep voice before he even enters the area, and even the other Totem heads talk about how dangerous he is and how he destroyed Atlantis the last time he was freed. One might rightfully expect a tough final boss that puts your platforming skills to the test...and then be surprised when it turns out to be [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a small green monkey with a paddle that you have to lure into hitting a toilet handle a few times,]] which is much easier to perform than defeating any of the prior bosses.

* MemeticMutation: "It's time to start sketchiiin!" Woody's {{Catchphrase}} has caught on with a number of artists, for obvious reasons.

** [[https://youtu.be/4LzTlEp8T-s "Yo-Ho"]], the first boss theme, in which a group of pirates rap about the obstacles in the first level. It has been compared to Music/LimpBizkit, even though the game came out before the band existed.

It has been compared to Music/LimpBizkit, even though the game came out before the band existed. Also, the [[NoFlowInCGI poorly-done CGI]] cutscenes do provide this with Woody providing his hammy performance as well.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: There's a surprisingly deep moment after Woody introduces himself where he notes, to his confusion, "Golly... I know my name, but it seems that's ''all'' I know." Unfortunately, instead of using this to build on his character, he goes straight back to being "all-attitude" immediately afterward.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack by future Music/GunsNRoses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal is often agreed to be one of the game's few redeeming factors.
** [[https://youtu.be/lrLz4aAQ6zU "Minotaur Maze"]], the stage 2-1 theme, is over-the-top heavy metal.
** [[https://youtu.be/eDEp-8aPGeY "Gadzeuse"]], the second boss theme, is unfortunately a CutSong due to a programming error. Which is a shame, because the choir, heavy metal guitar, and frantic piano solos are fitting for a fight against a massive god.
** [[https://youtu.be/gywx_cdVSdc?list=PL5B329F4BC128D4E9 "Industrial Rage"]] is [[GenreMashup a mix of jazz and metal]] that sounds surprisingly good.
** [[https://youtu.be/Vfb_vwPXguk "The Pit"]], the stage 5-1 theme, starts off cheesy with its OminousPipeOrgan and EvilLaughter, but once the guitars hit it becomes excellent.

* UncannyValley: The CGI cutscenes featuring Woody and Lowman have ''not'' aged well, particularly Woody's NightmareFace when he says his name.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: While it was unknown for several years after release, the infamous topless mermaid [[NeverLiveItDown will most likely be brought up when discussing this game these days]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Or a perfectly good gameplay mechanic, in this case. The ability to draw necessary items into the level for Woody to use is generally agreed to be a pretty interesting idea... but why it had to be in such a negatively-received game is beyond us.
