By TRS decision Whip It Good is now a disambiguation page. Moving entries to appropriate tropes when possible.


* WhipItGood: Played with. While this is a game about Indiana Jones, the whip is first used to destroy some rickety wooden obstacles in your way, and to swing your way across the gaps, or even pull at objects like bookcases to collapse them right on top of the unsuspecting enemies. During the actual melee combat, it's used to pull the enemies close (potentially allowing to instantly knock them out with a follow-up attack) and to disarm them; up close, however, actually beating them down is generally a matter of GoodOldFisticuffs, or even picking up other objects.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Magnus Völler is established as an old academic rival of Indy's and the Nazi's most important archeologists...yet he's never been mentioned before now and didn't appear in ''Raiders'' or ''Last Crusade''. Bob [=McGregor=]'s unreleased novelization justify this Trope/ In the case of academia, Völler was expelled from the University of Chicago after the 1922 prologue (and similarly to Belloq, Indy disliks Völler and talking about him). In the case of the films, [=McGregor=] establishes Völler was still rising through the Nazi ranks during the Ark and Holy Grail operations (and Völler was angry that what should've been a German archeological oversight got outsourced out to non-Germans like Belloq and Donovan). In fact, the failure of the Grail Quest and Donovan's death the year before is explicitly cited as the catalyst for Völler's promotion before the events of the game.

* CollectionSidequest: Picking up "Artifacts" (represented in the game with a Hat just like Indy's) unlocks extras in the menu.
* CounterAttack: Successfully dodging a melee attack allows you to counter-attack for bonus damage.



* EverythingFades: Knocked-out enemies immediately fade out.



* FinishingMove: Indy can perform one to knock out an enemy after successfully roping them in with a whip (different moves appear depending on whether you pulled them in by the neck, waist or feet), or after grappling them, when he can smash them into a range of environmental objects.
* FromBadToWorse: In the first level, after a burning a few webs to get within a cave complex in Sudan, Indy comes across an old rope bridge with a bunch of webs around it. Once he gets halfway through, swarms of spiders flood onto the bridge from both directions. The only thing he has to repel the spiders with is a torch, which predictably ignites the bridge. Luckily, he just about manages to run across most of the burning bridge before its central section collapses, and then grabs the ledge and climbs upwards the rest of the way.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: By default, the melee combat a matter of landing left and right hooks and uppercuts.
* GrappleMove: Indy can grapple with the enemies and land highly damaging punches before they manage to break free, or simply push or smash them into the objects or other enemies. In his own words: "Fair? No. Effective? Yes!"
* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: The melee combat tutorial is fully narrated in-character by Indiana Jones himself.

* RagnarokProofing: All over the shop. Even in the first level, lightning two vats of oil at the entrance to the ancient Sudanese temple activates some hidden mechanism that opens the stone door. Somehow, the oil hasn't dried, and all of those gears are in perfect working condition, in spite of the centuries since they were actually used.
* ShovelStrike: Indy can pick up shovels and swing them at the Germans, or even throw them a good distance. Every successful hit also comes complete with a cartoonish sound. Having said that, they can pick up shovels if they get to them first as well.

* YouHaveToBurnTheWeb: This is done with a torch within the first few minutes of the game. Funnily, a ''huge'' swarm of tiny bats instantly emerges and flies past you once you do that to get inside a huge cave mouth, even though there's no way a spider would have had the time to weave such a huge web undisturbed if so many bats were nesting there. Alternatively, there's no way they wouldn't have gotten entangled in it once it got finished.

* NoSwastikas: Not only are swastikas censored, the game apparently can't even say the word "Nazi" and substitutes it with "German". Because Indy snarling about how much he hates "Germans" (an actual race of people) is apparently more sensitive.
