History VideoGame / GrandDadReboot

* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: The final boss takes place in one of these.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:The fate of the cast aside from Simba, Kung Fu Mari, Rocman X, [[KilledOffForReal Felix]], and Grand Dad himself is never fully explained; they simply vanished after the Mysterious Entity reverted Earth back to its previous state.]]

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Frogs, robots, [[PandaingToTheAudience pandas]], monkeys, octopi, [[AnimateInanimateObject torches]], flashing squares...

* AnAxeToGrind: One of the four secondary weapons Grand Dad can use. He throws them in an arc, making hitting enemies above and below him easier.

The game was released on July 28, 2017, and can be downloaded on Website/GameJolt. Unlike ''VideoGame/GrandDadMania'', this game focuses more on bootleg games, especially ones that [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Joel]] played, than the lore and memes of Music/SiIvaGunner that popularized the character.

* EnemyRollCall: The ending names off all the main characters and bosses, as well as crediting the bootlegs they came from.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Frogs, robots, [[PandaingToTheAudience pandas]], [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]], octopi, [[AnimateInanimateObject torches]], flashing squares...

** [[spoiler:The final stage is Bedrock, straght from the ''Flintstones'' game ''7 Grand Dad'' was based on. The music that plays in the background is a darker remix of the game's opening cutscene.]]

* BattleBoomerang: The first boss throws these every so often. Oddly, even though they're shaped like boomerangs, they fly straight off the screen without returning to the boss.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: At the end of the Green Hill Zone stage, a bootleg Sonic walks onto the screen accompanied by ominous music... [[spoiler:only to be immediately killed by the Panda Prince, some sort of [[EldritchAbomination glitchy, deformed panda]] with freakishly long legs]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: The bootleg creatures were all the protagonists of the pirated games they originally appeared in, but in this game, all but Grand Dad are villains.

** In the midway point of the graveyard stage, you come across Triglyde[[spoiler:, but he gets immediately punched out by Felix, who sics Squirtle? at you]].

* EasterEgg: After defeating the stage 2 miniboss, his body remains on the ground. Grand Dad can still [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential strike the body with his club attack]]. [[spoiler:Doing this 15 times rewards you with a 1-up.]]

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Frogs, robots, [[PandaingToTheAudience pandas]], [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]], octopi, [[AnimateInanimateObject torches]], [[GoddamnedBats flashing squares]]...

* KamehameHadoken: [[spoiler:Kung-Fu Mari]] throws these as one of his attacks.

* MythologyGag: The game features several in regards to [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinesauce Joel]], who more or less instigated Grand Dad's meme status way back in 2014.

** This being a Grand Dad game, there are numerous musical nods to the [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Flintstones]] theme song.

* SkippableBoss: [[spoiler:Nothing prevents you from simply walking past the deadly quiz in the fifth stage.]]

* {{Always Night}}: The Jungle stage, until the sun rises just as the game transitions to the Mountain stage.
* {{An Axe To Grind}}: One of the four secondary weapons Grand Dad can use. He throws them in an arc, making hitting enemies above and below him easier.
* {{Bad Boss}}: [[spoiler:Fortran.]] His minions follow him out of fear rather than true loyalty, as evidenced by [[spoiler:Simba's attempted HeelFaceTurn]].
* {{Battle Boomerang}}: The first boss throws these every so often. Oddly, even though they're shaped like boomerangs, they fly straight off the screen without returning to the boss.

* {{Big Bad}}: [[spoiler:Fortran.]]
* {{Bait And Switch Boss}}: At the end of the Green Hill Zone stage, Bootleg Sonic walks onto the screen accompanied by ominous music... [[spoiler:only to be immediately killed by the Panda Prince, some sort of [[{{EldritchAbomination}} glitchy, deformed panda]] with freakishly long legs]].

* {{Boss Corridor}}: Before every boss fight, there is a mostly-empty section of the stage that sometimes has weapon or health pickups and 1-ups scattered throughout.
* {{Boss Warning Siren}}: The appearance of each mini-boss is accompanied by a loud klaxon sound.

* {{Death Mountain}}: The Mountain stage.
* {{Defeat Means Friendship}}: [[spoiler:Simba]], after Grand Dad spares his life. He hatches a plan to tell his boss that Grand Dad never showed up, and tries to let Grand Dad pass by him unharmed. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Fortran]] overhears him through a spy-hologram and [[spoiler:banishes Simba to [[TheAlcatraz the space gulag]]]].

* {{Game Breaking Bug}}: In-universe: After Grand Dad defeats the stage 3 miniboss, [[spoiler:the game appears to glitch out and crash before cutting to dialogue between Fortran and Somari explaining that the virtual-reality machine that Grand Dad is trapped in has malfunctioned]]. This begins the second half of the stage.
* {{Green Hill Zone}}: The first half of the third stage is based off a [[{{UnlicensedGame}} bootleg]] [[{{VideoGame/Somari}} version]] of the [[{{VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1}} Trope Namer]].
* {{Humanoid Abomination}}: [[spoiler:Felix the Cat]] is portrayed as this, acting more openly malicious than the other bosses, and transporting Grand Dad to a warped dark space for his boss fight, where he appears as a large, pupil-less [[FlyingFace floating head]]. This characterization is based on his Genesis bootleg game, specifically the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0v23GVsp4 infamous Game Over screen]], which even appears in the boss fight's background as a distorted silhouette.
* {{Intentional Engrish for Funny}}: The opening cutscene text is written this way to evoke the feel of the [[{{BlindIdiotTranslation}} poorly-translated]] Chinese bootleg games this game pays homage to.

* {{Kamehame Hadoken}}: [[spoiler:Kung-Fu Mari]] throws these as one of his attacks.

** [[spoiler:Kung-Fu Mari]] has Mario's head on [[{{VideoGame/JackieChansActionKungFu}} Jackie Chan's]] body.
** [[spoiler:{{VideoGame/Somari}}]] looks like Mario, but moves like [[{{Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog}} Sonic]].

** This being a Grand Dad game, there are numerous musical nods to the [[{{WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones}} Flintstones]] theme song.
** One enemy is a water-shooting [[{{Music/SiIvaGunner}} a e s t h e t i c statue]].
** Other enemies include [[{{VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2}} Ninji]], [[{{VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld}} Rexes]], and [[{{VideoGame/MegaManClassic}} Mettaurs]].
** The Tutorial level heavily resembles the first level of [[{{VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1}} Super]] [[{{UnlicensedGame}} Boy]].
** The main menu screen is based off of [[{{VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution}} Street]] [[{{UnlicensedGame}} Dancer]], complete with dancing [[{{Film/ThePhantomMenace}} Jar Jar Binks]].
** [[{{VideoGame/HongKong97}} "Chaos skyrocketed! Earth is ruined!"]]

* {{Spikes of Doom}}: The spikes in the third stage are 100% lethal, a la [[{{Franchise/MegaMan}} Mega Man]].
* {{Super Drowning Skills}}: Grand Dad apparently never learned to swim, seeing as how water is treated as a bottomless pit.
* {{Turns Red}}: After he takes enough damage, [[spoiler:Simba]] literally turns red and moves much faster. The music even speeds up with him!
* {{Urine Trouble}}: One of the enemies is a naked statue that attacks by shooting high-pressure water blasts out of its dick.
* {{Wake Up Call Boss}}: If you go into the first-stage boss fight against [[spoiler:Simba]] expecting him to be as easy as [[spoiler:Domkey Kong]], you're in for a nasty shock.
* {{Warmup Boss}}: The first stage miniboss, [[spoiler:Domkey Kong]], is laughably easy. All Grand Dad has to do to defeat him is stand in the lower part of the floor on the right-hand side of the room and wail on him while he [[ArtificialStupidity jumps over Grand Dad repeatedly, unable to hit him.]]

* {{Your Head A Splode}}: How [[spoiler:Kung-Fu Mari]] meets his end. [[spoiler:He gets better, though.]]

* {{HumanoidAbomination}}: [[spoiler:Felix the Cat]] is portrayed as this, acting more openly malicious than the other bosses, and transporting Grand Dad to a warped dark space for his boss fight, where he appears as a large, pupil-less [[FlyingFace floating head]]. This characterization is based on his Genesis bootleg game, specifically the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0v23GVsp4 infamous Game Over screen]], which even appears in the boss fight's background as a distorted silhouette.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:The Red-Fire vanity plate you see upon starting up the game is based off of [[{{MemeticMutation}} Dian Shi Ma Li Mario Lottery]], but replaces Fortran with Grand Dad.]] If you pay attention to [[spoiler:Grand Dad's non-jumping stance during this scene]], it becomes incredibly obvious that [[spoiler:the silhouette of the main antagonist seen in the opening cutscene is that of Fortran]].
