As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • The fight with Roboprez and Silhouette in the first game.
  • When Pox kills the Master in the third game.
  • You usually feel rather satisfied after knocking down an entire city.
  • The Kojira Battle in the second game. The monster marches from the harbor to Takoshima city, and goes on a rampage, destroying buildings to replenish health. And with all the extra space to move, it's one place where the Meteor Gun is not a instant win button.
    • Not only that, but it's one of very few times Crypto is actually frightened by an enemy.
    I don't care about my Ninja groupies! I'm worried about getting my ass stomped!
  • When casually visiting the White Ninjas hideout, you will occasionally find them doing battle with attacking Black Ninjas.
  • The Meteor Gun.
    • That's nothing. In Path of the Furon, you get a pistol that opens up a frikkin black hole, a gun that summons a man-eating plant, and a saucer weapon that creates tornadoes.
  • The mothership's destruction in the second game.
  • In the second game, after struggling to come up with a reason why the Cosmonauts should turn against the Blisk, Crypto finally comes up with the perfect one:
    THEY'RE TAKING AWAY YOUR VODKA!!!!
  • When you finally get to kill Shama Llama for getting obnoxiously full of himself and hijacking the Arkvoodle cult in the second game. On the Shama Llama's side, he's considered in the running to be an actual avatar of Arkvoodle, and thus the god has granted him as many resurrections as you've had deaths over the course of the run, as well as unlocking the psychic abilities of his Furon DNA. Back on Crypto's side, if you can make it this far without dying once, the fight can be over in an instant.
  • The only side mission on Solaris, where you get to put the surviving Blisk out of their misery and stop them from receiving help. Even Pox knows how much Crypto will enjoy it.
  • After ten years, Crypto makes his return, and it is glorious
    • First, he interupts a broadcast debunking his own sightings, hypnotising the citizens of Santa Mira en masse. Herding the people into a drive-in with his saucer, he takes a moment to drop a cow on some random guy. He drops down before the crowd to find the army ready to open fire. Instead, he makes them party down before he hits them with the Zap-O-Matic. Everything a new fan needs to know about the game, all set to Rammstein, of all bands. ICH WILL!
    • The Army Commander is able to withstand the hypnosis thanks to his shades and rushes through the rave to take Crypto down. Crypto just sneaks in behind him, slips them off, and takes them for himself as the commander strips off to join the fun.
  • Not to be outdone by the first remake, Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed has Crypto hypnotizing American astronauts to play some music, this time, it's Rammstein's "Amerika."
    • What happens is Crypto flying all over the world, starting on the Moon/Solaris, then flies through Albion, Tunguska, Bay City, and Takoshima, while fighting Kojira.
    • An awesome moment for Kojira in the trailer, she manages to destroy Crypto's saucer, causing him to need to use his jetpack to avoid her.
      • Not to be outdone, Crypto moves a van under her foot to trip her up. Rather than finish the monster off, Crypto raises a hand, awakening the beast under his control. They start bobbing their heads together, signalling that he's about to put his own kaiju to some wonderful misuse.
      • At the end of the trailer, Crypto is seen on the moon petting a dog in a spacesuit. It becomes a case of Heartwarming when one realizes that the Dog is in all likelihood Laika; the Dog who became the first creature to leave Earth and go into space. The fact that Crypto is seen caring for Laika on the Moon is extremely heartwarming along with it being a case of Spared by the Adaptation.note
