History VideoGame / ClockworkKnight

* GracefulLoser: In a sense. [[spoiler: At the end of the second game, Ginger discovers that Chelsea is actually his sister. Beating the game on Hard Mode shows an extra scene where the other toys are celebrating Pepper and Chelsea becoming a couple. Ginger looks at them briefly before tossing them a bouquet of flowers, showing them his support]].

* BigBad: [[spoiler: It is heavily implied the clockwork dragon that brainwashed Garluch is the same dark force that is behind all the other problems in the games.]]

** Captain Octopus lets out a more contemptuous one when you manage to fall into the water in his battle.

* TheGoomba: Pierron, a clown-in-a-can that merely meanders forward, and can only feebly attempt to attack you with its party horn. Katchin' also qualifies due to it being the weakest commonplace enemy, though to a lesser extent since it can actually make an decent attempt at attacking you and takes either a throw or a wind-up to kill.

* BadassGrandpa: Pepper's grandfather Garluch de Pepperouchau qualifies to an extent, as he was quite the knight back in the day and still gets respect from his fellow toys. [[spoiler: He's also the [[FinalBoss final boss]] of ''2''. ]]

* BatOutOfHell: In ''Clockwork Knight 2'', there are bat-umbrella hybrids called Vamprellas that hang around (in places like ''mid-air'', strangely) and attack when woken up. The paper boss from the same game also takes the form of a large blue bat in its final phase.

* BatOutOfHell: In ''Clockwork Knight 2'', there are bat-umbrella hybrids called Vamprellas that hang around (in places like ''mid-air'', strangely) and attack when woken up.

* Dragon Rider: [[spoiler: Garluch is sort-of one. For all intents and purposes, he's moreso ''fused'' with the Dragon in the last battle of ''Clockwork Knight 2''.]]

** This also applies in the battle with[[spoiler: Garluch the Dragon.]] After being hit enough times, [[spoiler: the dragon]] with be left with just its head--[[spoiler: one that blasts around breathing fire, mind you.]]

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Oneon wears magenta armor and is rather effeminate. He's different from Garluch in that he's lived a life without adventure, and is more of the artist in the family as writing is one of his hobbies. But he's also very gentle, understanding and kind to Tongara and treats him with respect.

* AerithAndBob: Very much in [[Pun play]]. Many of the main characters have rather elaborate and quirky names like Tongara de Pepperouchau, Prunchau, Soltia, and Garluch, while some of them have normal names, like Chelsea and Ginger.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: A pirate octopus fittingly named Captain Octopus serves as the boss for the Bathroom world in the second game. He has kids, too--they appear on the level right before his, no less!

* EasterEgg: In the Japanese version of the second game, a secret exit in the second Clock Tower stage [[spolier: features a guest appearance by either idol Hiroko Nakayama (Training/Normal difficulty) or Hirokazu Hamamura (Hard difficulty), both of whom were a part of the Japanese TV show "Game Catalogue II".]]

* SecretCharacter: Ginger can be unlocked in the second game by using a code in ''Pepperouchau no Fukubukuro'' and the U.S. version. However, the levels involving Barobaro revert him back to Pepper.

* GracefulLoser: In a sense. [[spoiler: At the end of the second game (if you play on hard mode that is), Ginger discovers that Chelsea is actually his sister. When the other toys are celebrating Pepper and Chelsea becoming a couple later on, Ginger shows his support by tossing them a bouquet of flowers]].

* TheRival: Ginger serves as one to Pepper as they both compete for Chelsea's affection, and Ginger is more sauve and a better fencer than Pepper. His steed Silver also looks more sophisticated while Barobaro is rumored to come from a trash can. Unlike most examples, Pepper and Ginger are not really that hostile towards each other, and both set out to save Chelsea to save the toys.

* PunnyName: [=PAZur=], a toy puzzle who serves as Ginger's teacher.

* CaptainErsatz: Double Jetter is an obvious reference to the Transformers franchise, being a robot that can change into a jet and colored red and blue.

* BadassMustache: All four knights have one of these. Oneon and Garluch even have a [[BadassBeard beard]] to go along with their 'staches, although Garluch's is more obvious than his son Oneon's. Even Le Bon, Ginger's follower, has one.

* DifficultyByRegion: The Western versions give the bosses more hitpoints.

* GracefulLoser: In a sense. [[spoiler: At the end of the second game, Ginger discovers that Chelsea is actually his sister. When the other toys are celebrating Pepper and Chelsea becoming a couple later on, Ginger shows his support by tossing them a bouquet of flowers]].

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Oneon wears magenta armor and is rather effeminate. He's different from Galuch in that he's lived a life without adventure, and is more of the artist in the family as writing is one of his hobbies. But he's also very gentle, understanding and kind to Tongara and treats him with respect.

* BadassMustache: All four knights have one of these. Oneon and Garluch even have a [[BadassBeard beard]] to go along with their 'staches, although Garluch's is more obvious than his son Oneon's.

* EvilLaugh: Though not as diabolical as other video game villains, Funky Snaky lets out a maniacal laugh whenever you manage to land some hits on him

* AttackItsWeakPoint: A good few of the bosses have this, such as Iron Kong X, whose torso must be attacked using his detached head.
** Funky Snaky is probably the most obvious example, due to how his weak point, the mike at the end of his tail, constantly moves around and flashes. Soltia even mentions in her pre-boss dialogue for him to attack the mike!

* EdibleThemeNaming: All the knights and Soltia's names are based on spices--Pepper and Ginger's [[CaptainObvious are pretty self-explanatory]], Oneon's is based on onion, Garluch's is based on garlic, and Soltia's is based on salt.

* BadassGrandpa: Pepper's grandfather Garluch de Pepperouchau qualifies, as he was quite the knight back in the day and still gets respect from his fellow toys. [[spoiler: He's also the [[FinalBoss final boss]]. ]]

* GagNose: The Pepperouchau family all have odd, hexagonal noses of differing size.

* KonamiCode: [[spoiler: A variation of it is used to unlock Ginger in ''Pepperouchau no Fukubukuro'' and the US version of ''2'', with the only difference being that the code ends with Left-Right-Left-Right instead of B-A.]]

* SayItWithHearts: The effeminate Oneon's speech is [[IncrediblyLamePun peppered]] with these in the before-level conversations (which is exclusive to the Japanese editions of the games). Soltia also uses them as well, albeit less frequently.
* SequentialBoss: The boss of the Study Room area in the second game, Paper Morphy, is a piece of paper that forms into different animals for each of its three phases. The first phase is a gorilla, the second phase is a cheetah, and the third phase is a bat.
* ToyTime: It's not just one level that qualifies as this; as both games were about toys in a house, pretty much the entire series falls under this.
