5The sequel to ''VideoGame/MondoMedicals'', also by Creator/{{Cactus}}. As suggested by that page, it could make more or less sense.
6
7The basic plot involves the actions of one Mondo Agency to prevent "the president" from being assassinated by seizure-inducing "natives" - or, as they are often called, ''LASER INDIANS!'' To do this, the Agency sends Agent-65386 to go to the president to make sure he's okay, but through the game, he must stop at various places and perform odd tasks, such as starting a machine the size of a skyscraper or killing the natives.
8
9In between levels -- or as they are now called "submissions", as in "sub-missions" -- there are monologues from the Boss, your superior within Mondo Agency. Instead of screaming about cancer, he tranquilly philosophizes and hints what the next "submission" will be like.
10
11%%The ending involves finally reaching the President. His aide tells you not to push the buttons in front of the President; inexplicably, that's the only thing to do. Yes, it kills him. Once Agent-65386 returns, the Boss angrily fires him. The last moments of the game are the now Civilian-65385 walking down a path inscribed with the credits before entering a teleporter that closes the game.
12
13Yes, everyone still has a TV head but they spin now.
14
15It's going to have a sequel called Mondo Nation, and it's about fighting terrorism, and takes place in a world closer to our own, containing such wonders as ''fire'' and ''insects''. Only it seems that it's a TV head that's on fire.

19!!This game provides examples of:
20* BigBad: The enemies targeting the president are bizarre, red flashing creatures called "natives". [[spoiler:However, The President [[EvilAllAlong turns out to be]] disturbingly eager to kill the "natives" who are presumably actually defending themselves.]]
21* BottomlessMagazines: Your gun can't run out of bullets. This is very comforting.
22* BodyHorror: The level "Terminal Illness", wherein a TV man screams about how much pain he’s in [[spoiler:before little ball enemies pop out of his head]].
23* ButThouMust: The last level. [[spoiler:You ''have'' to kill the President.]]
24* EasyModeMockery: Players that can't finish the mountain jumping level may press a key to skip the level. The pillar giving the instruction says it will appear on your permanent record, but there's otherwise no obvious penalty.
25* FauxlosophicNarration: The Boss' ramblings in between missions lean towards this at times.
26* GambitRoulette: [[spoiler:Did anyone ''want'' the President dead?]] [[MindScrew Maybe]].
27* GenreBusting
28* GoodBadTranslation: [[invoked]] Once again intentional, and once again it supplements the inanity of the Boss's instructions nicely, leading to some lines that border on {{Ice Cream Koan}}s. [[spoiler:NOW GOT LOST!]]
29* HeroicMime: The Agent. The Boss and some other people are the only ones to have dialogue.
30* IncrediblyLamePun: "Submission is death, and we must submit everyones!"
31* MindScrew: Everything. [[spoiler:''Especially'' the Agency's plan to avert the President's death. Did they have a psychic on their team? Were they ''trying'' to kill the president?]]
32* OneHitPointWonder: Every enemy is a one-hit kill.
33* SpeakingSimlish: Everyone. [[spoiler:It's backward English. It's 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and 4:17]]
34* StylisticSuck: again.
35* SurrealHorror: Maybe [[MindScrew just]] [[BodyHorror a]] [[NothingIsScarier little.]]
