Goofy Print Underwear / Video Games

Boxers with red/pink hearts

• Crash Bandicoot:
  • In Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, several of Crash's death sequences reveal pink boxers with red hearts. In one, he doesn't actually die, he's just too embarrassed to go on.
  • In Warped, when Crash completes an underwater level, his boxers float away along with his diving gear (because it's the same animation as when he dies from hitting a mine).
    • This animation was changed in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.
  • In the Gag Reel of Crash Tag Team Racing, they're white with red hearts instead.
  • In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Crash's undies no longer appear in his death animations. However, the crab pirate enemies have the seat of their pants hanging open, exposing their own heart boxers (and weak points).
• Sir Arthur's traditional garb in Ghosts 'n Goblins once his armor breaks (though according to official artwork, they're strawberries — see below). In one game, he switches instead to long johns.
  • Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the only game in which he's clearly wearing heart boxers in the in-game graphics.
  • The Spiritual Successor Maximo: Ghosts to Glory also has heart boxers as part of the game-long Homage, with other prints available for purchase. The sequel, Maximo vs. Army of Zin, expands this, giving the title character the ability to change boxers to get additional powers (like the ability to get an extra level of armor).
• In King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride, the Werebear is left in these after jackalope!Valanice blows off his fur and pants.
• In Quest for Glory II, while sleeping at the Inn in Raseir, the hero can be seen wearing these when his blanket is pulled off by a rat.
• Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards:
  • Larry Laffer wears them in Reloaded when Fawn ties him to the bed in the Honeymoon Suite.
  • In the previous version of the same game, they were polka-dot instead. (And in the original version, they didn't have a print.)
• WarioWare: Smooth Moves: One of the missions has Wario defend himself from a ninja. You must slash at the right time to tear off the ninja's suit. But wait, there's more... (scroll down...)
• Available for purchase at Binco in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
• An unlockable item in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories after completing your first unique jump.
• In Spyro the Dragon, the TNT Wranglers in Gnorc Cove are left in these and a tank top after you blow off their protective clothing.
• In Rocket Knight Adventures (and the recent 2.5D revival, Rocket Knight), these seem to be part of the uniform for the pig soldiers of the Devotindos Empire.
• In Mickey Mania, the final boss Pete wears these (just like in the cartoon the level is based on). The dagger-throwing weasel guards in the same level wear pink polka dots instead.
• In Dead Rising, Frank West can unlock Arthur's boxers by lasting seven days in Infinity Mode.
  • In Dead Rising 2, Chuck Greene wears them by default and can unlock Arthur's armor to go with them.
• These are an underwear option in Saints Row.
• These can be seen flying out of destroyed luggage in Angry Birds Rio.
• As an Idle Animation, Earthworm Jim's pants will drop, revealing these. Don't ask why a robotic suit has underwear.
• There's a cheat in Ground Control called "frommassivewithlove", which will change explosions to hearts and fiddle a bit with the units' textures. It will give this underwear to Marine units.
• Player of Retro City Rampage has a pair, as seen when he's sleeping.
• In the Aladdin video game made by Virgin Games, the stout guards' pants fall when hit without being defeated, revealing heart underwear.
• The Newspaper Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies wears them.
• In the Flash game Murder, the assassinated king always wears these, though the color depends on who the king is.
• The final boss in Revolution X appears to wear heart-print boxers.
• The unlockable "Zero Suit Derek" outfit in Poacher puts Derek in just these and a tank top (and his hat and shoes).
• Shantae: Half-Genie Hero reveals that Ammo Baron and his army qualifies for this trope. Apparently, the Ammonian soldier uniform includes heart boxers.
• In Mishap 2: An Intentional Haunting the illustration of a ninja ghost in the first chapter includes a glimpse of boxers with red hearts.
• You can make your male Sims wear these in some installments of the franchise.
  • The Sims 2 includes them from the beginning. The Sims 3 doesn't include them, but they are easily created with Create-a-Style. The Sims 4 also includes them, as well as red boxers with white hearts.
• In Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, the "Underwear" skin pattern has puts hearts around your Fall Guy's lower body, although whether they are red and white depends on the color scheme you're wearing.
• Team Fortress 2 has the Boom Boxers cosmetic, which leaves a big tear in the backside of the Scout, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy and/or Engineer's pants, revealing these boxers. The RED team has red hearts, while the BLU has blue.

Other-print boxers

• In Adventurer's Consumer Guide the inventory list includes a pair of red boxers with teddy bears dressed as sailors.
• Bendy and the Ink Machine: When Henry is inside Boris the Wolf's safe house in Chapter 3, there is a pair of the Toon's overalls hanging up. Next to these is a pair of toony polka-dotted boxers. It's safe to assume that these are Boris's as well.
• In Catherine, Vincent wears boxers with pink polka dots. And, since he sleeps in them, that's his outfit for the entire nightmare. The final boss will even tease him about it.
• In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, if you shoot the Wizard enemy with the Fruit Bazooka (or attack him by any method in the PAL version), he'll be reduced to white boxers with pink polka-dots. This pacifies him.
  • In Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the Knight enemies (who have no pants to begin with) are wearing white boxers with red polka-dots.
• In the character videos in F-Zero GX, Antonio Guster and Blood Falcon strip down to their boxers (camouflage and pink with teddy bears!, respectively) while doing their laundry. In Captain Falcon's video, he splits his pants while saving Mrs. Arrow's baby, revealing red polka-dots.
• In Punch-Out Wii, King Hippo has upgraded to star-print boxers.
• The Soviet Premier in the Allied ending of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is found hiding under a desk wearing boxers with a red "Hammer and sickle" print motif (He had dressed a decoy in his uniform).

  • Wario himself has trouble keeping his pants up on the map screen.
• In the Metal Slug series, the Prisoners Of War reward you for rescuing them by pulling a giant pair of blue-and-white-striped boxers out of their pants and dispensing an item from them.
  • Also, when the Mars People betray General Morden in Metal Slug 2/X and 3, they strip him to his undies. In 2/X, they're pink bikini briefs; in 3, polka-dot shorts.
• Agent Smith in the Hitman games is often seen wearing boxer shorts printed with the US Flag. Similarly, some NPC's you can take clothes from will sometimes have pattern on their boxers (including the traditional hearts).
• While merchandise and cameos often depict Arthur as wearing heart boxers (as noted above), official artwork has always put strawberries on his boxers instead. In Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, these strawberries were visible in-game for the first time.
  • In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, every one of Arthur's costumes gives him different boxers, with strawberries as the default. His alternates are blue and white vertical stripes, green with white polka dots, and gold with black stars.
    • Ultimate adds blue with white polka dots and pink with white hearts.
  • Arthur wears vertically striped boxers in the obscure Wonderswan game (which also appear in one of his alternate outfits in MvC3).

  • Arthur's ending in Cannon Spike clearly shows the strawberry print.
• In RosenkreuzStilette Freudenstachel, Grolla's heavily Ghosts 'n Goblins-themed stage includes Skeletal Knights that resemble Arthur, including armor that breaks off in one hit and strawberry-print boxers.
• While monsters in Dragon Quest VIII don't wave any about when they do the move, Yangus pulls out two pairs of blue-and-white striped boxers when he performs the Underpants Dance move. For understandable reasons, this causes the Confusion status ailment.
• Spyro: A Hero's Tail has Gnasty Gnorc reveal his red polka-dot boxers when he's goaded into swinging so hard that his staff/club sticks into the ground. More humiliating is the fact that this is his weak point.
• In the ending of the PC version of Mario Is Missing!, the de-shelled Bowser is shown to wear red polka-dot boxers. This is despite his shell not normally covering that area of his body.
• Vincent from Catherine spends the puzzle sections of the game in nothing but his polka-dot boxers (with the exception of stage 8, the Cathedral).
• In one Solatorobo 4koma, Red is embarrassed that Chocolat is showing off the Asmodeus while his boxers are hanging to dry◊. One is white with a single red heart, the other is white with yellow stars. Another piece of official art shows a pair of blue-and-white striped boxers landing on Elh's head◊, but precisely whose they are is never said.
• At the end of the first level of Plok, Plok finds a pair of polka-dot boxers instead of the flag he was looking for.

• Most of the male vampires in Akiba's Trip are wearing some sort of patterned underwear.
• In Kid Icarus: Uprising, the enemy called Erinus is a cloaked figure that splits into two when it takes enough damage. The upper half keeps the cloak, while the lower half is left in pink striped boxers.

• In addition to the red heart kind mentioned above, The Sims 2 includes tiger print, smiley face print, fruit print and polka-dotted printed boxers. The Sims 3 includes a few in the base game, adds a few more in some expansion packs and players can create custom ones in-game.
• When you defeat Gordon Bowman from the Fu'un Series, his pants fall down, revealing boxers with bunny faces.
• Phantom Doctrine: One of the pieces of intel that you can find is a memo telling people not to make fun of an agent who was trapped in a lift for three hours. It was hot in there, and he had to strip down to a pair of boxer shorts with "a fetching banana print."
• Street Fighter V: Cody's Story Mode costume puts him in Mike Haggar's pants, which are much too big for him and droop down to expose his cow-print boxers. (More specifically, the cow is Holstein, a bonus pickup from old Capcom arcade games.)

Other men's underwear

• At the end of Crash: Mind Over Mutant, Cortex fights Crash in red polka-dot briefs after he hulks out of his clothes.
• In Kirby Super Star the mini-boss Jukid is wearing polka-dot underwear of some sort under his gi. It's hard to get more specific since he has no legs.
• The Bokoblins in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword have a predilection for "fashionable undergarments" . . . "fashionable" here meaning leopard print.
• Raikov gets stripped down to his thong (a leather thong with a lightning-bolt on it) in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater when Snake uses his uniform for a disguise.
• The first boss of The Simpsons Arcade game is a pro wrestler who's pants will drop if he is left alone, revealing pink sparkly briefs.
• In Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail!, Larry wears leopard-print briefs.
• Disgaea 5: We don't actually see them, but Red Magnus has a pair of tiger-print briefs that are his favorite (and only good) pair of underwear. Seraphina is not amused when he puts them in with her laundry.
• The Final Boss of Smash TV combines Mutoid Man (the first boss) with the M.C. of the game show. Rather than exposing his ribcage (as with Mutoid Man previously), shooting his chest reveals a pink polka dot undershirt.
• As mentioned before, in a WarioWare game, you must defend yourself from a ninja. Well, on the easy difficulty, the ninja costume falls off to reveal boxers. On the medium difficulty, the boxers fall off to reveal briefs. And on the third difficulty... the ninja is wearing a pink thong. Really.
• The Hero in Fable wears briefs with the Union Jack on them if he's undressed. Fitting, since the setting of the game (Albion) is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Middle-Age Britain.
• In Spider-Man (PS4), Peter wears grey briefs with Spidey logos on it. It's seen twice throughout the game: the first time was in the opening as he rushes to get dressed, and the second is after he frees himself from a Mushroom Samba sequence caused by Scorpion. Hilariously, the latter instance showed him wearing nothing but his underwear and mask with no explanation how it happened. Even better, it's an unlockable suit after you beat the game with 100% Completion.
• Among the various underwear in The Sims 2 are a pair of leopard skin speedo-style underwear.

Childish women's underwear

• In Super Robot Wars: Original Generation, when Seolla axe-kicked Arado for making yet another boob-joke on her, she ends up revealing to Russel, of all people... her teddie bear panties.
• They're never shown, but it's confirmed by Juliet herself in Lollipop Chainsaw that she's wearing her 'lucky zombie-fighting underwear', which is panties with teddy bears or hearts on them.
• In Resident Evil 6, an alternate costume of Ada Wong shows that she wears pink panties with flowers on them.
• In Dead or Alive, there are loads of them. Since 2 onward, all of the teenage girls have bright, colorful, and often-silly panties you'd expect a teenage girl to own. Flowers, butterflies, hearts, stripes, and polka dots. There's even some with strawberry designs on them.
• Although most underwear for women in The Sims averts this, The Sims 3 allows players to create some of their own in-game.
• In League of Legends, Lux formerly had these on some of her alternate skins before the developers slightly altered her models. Her Star Guardian skin had a big star on the butt of her purple undies, which made some sense, given that it follows a teenage magical girl theme. More strangely, the Mystic form of her Elementalist skin also followed this, despite being akin to a She Is All Grown Up skin. On the back of those panties, there was a big butterfly.
  • The trend made a return with the Prestige version of her "Porcelain" skin, which features a pair of white panties with a bunny face on the front.
• In Until Dawn, Jess wears flower-print panties, showing her playful and girly side.
