History VideoGame / AdventuresOfLolo

* EyeBeams: Medusa, who'll [[TakenForGranite petrify]] and zap Lolo with them if he walks within her field of linear vision. Don Medusa, who has the same ability (but is more dangerous because he can move back and forth), uses knives instead. Lolo doesn't even have to be looking at them for the eye beams to work.
* TheGoomba: Snakey is often the first enemy Lolo comes across in his journey.

* VacuumMouth: ''Adventures of Lolo III'' introduces Moby, a small whale that opens its mouth to suck Lolo/Lala towards it when in its line of sight.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first game, ''Eggerland Mystery'', is the only one to contain Diamond Framers instead of Heart Framers, a "Type B" gameplay mode in which each puzzle is timed, or [[ScoringPoints points]].

Interestingly, despite Hal being a subsidiary of Nintendo, Hal owns the Lolo series independently and completely.

''Adventures of Lolo'' is a trilogy of BlockPuzzle games released on the NES, and part of Hal Laboratory's ''Eggerland'' series (which began its life in Japan on the MSX computer system). A beast known as the Great Devil (King Egger) has kidnapped Princess Lala and, in typical bad guy fashion, imprisoned her at the top of a DeathTrap and monster-laden tower. It's usually up to Lolo to solve the puzzles with and climb to the top and rescue her. The third game in the trilogy allows you to play as either character [[spoiler: and, in the final four levels, be required to rescue the character you sent to finish Level 13]].

* SaveThePrincess: The first two games. The third game can avert this is you're playing as Lala, as in that case you eventually have to save Lolo from the BigBad instead.

* GuideDangIt: If you block an enemy's spawn point with something other than yourself (which will just get you killed,) they'll get {{Tele Frag}}ged when they respawn. But certain enemies will just respawn in a preset location instead. Certain puzzles require you to pull off the latter. Good luck finding out when.

* MeaninglessLives: Running out of lives in ''Adventures of Lolo'' forced the player to start the entire floor over again. The second game, though, let the player continue from the room they were in, effectively making lives meaningless other than showing them the password screen.

** You still have to make it to exit to officially clear the exit, though. And it is possible [[UnwinnableByDesign to irreparably block the exit in some way.]]

* NoExportForYou: There are several games in the ''Eggerland'' series, but the three ''Adventures of Lolo'' games were the only ones released in America (and the first ''Adventures of Lolo'' was ''only'' released in America because it consisted entirely of puzzles from older ''Eggerland'' games).
** Europe did get Eggerland Mystery for the MSX and the Game Boy Adventures of Lolo though. Supposedly, Eggerland 2 was also released there, but it was most likely that those copies were bootlegs.

* {{Expy}}: Characters named Lololo and Lalala (who look like Lolo and Lala, only smaller) appear as minor antagonists in some ''{{Kirby}}'' games (another series made by Hal Labs), and as his friends in the anime series ''[[Anime/KirbyOfTheStars Kirby: Right Back At Ya!]]''.

* TheGoomba: Snakey.

* TheJuggernaut: Rocky.

* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid

* DamselInDistress: Lala, natch. She does, however, become a playable character in ''III'' - in fact, depending on how you play that game, Lala may find herself having to save [[DistressedDude Lolo]] for a change.

* TakenForeGranite: Happens to the people of Lolo and Lala's kingdom in the third game, prompting the two to set out on their adventure.

* AnticlimaxBoss: The Great Devil in the first game; after clearing the 50th stage, Lolo defeats him in a cutscene. His reappearance in the second game is upgraded into a proper boss battle.

* DamselInDistress: Lala, natch. She does, however, become a playable character in ''III''. In fact, depending on how you play that game, Lala may find herself having to save ''Lolo'' for a change.

* SuperPersistentPredator: Alma, once she gets rolling.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Subverted with the Snakeys, who are enemies but harmless, immobile, and pretty cute.

* PALBonus: The Japanese version of ''Adventures of Lolo'' for the Game Boy had only fifty levels. The European version increased this to one hundred forty-four, and added a tutorial and Super Game Boy support.
