Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


* BonusBoss: Humanibli, [[RuleOfThree who you can fight three times.]]

Nice Hat is now a disambig and Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


* NiceHat: You can gain a couple, such as a snazzy top hat in the "City" level. They're purely aesthetic, though.
* NintendoHard: Unsurprising, considering that it's based on and inspired by the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' games. On Normal difficulty, it is legitimately brutal. Many tricky obstacles and dangerous monsters await you. It doesn't help that Mibibli's rather frail; most enemies can kill him in a few hits, and health refills only show up in predetermined locations (usually out of the way, and in a few cases not worth the risk). "Gameplay that will make you cry" indeed.
** Taken UpToEleven with the Steam-exclusive "Insanity Shuffle" difficulty, which adds random enemies to each screen and removes Mibibli's MercyInvincibility.

Frickin' Laser Beams entry amended in accordance with this Trope Repair Shop Thread.


* EnergyWeapons: The Laserfrogibli enemy can fire this. Combined with the fact that it's usually placed in areas full of enemies, areas with tricky platforms over a BottomlessPit, it can follow you until it hits an obstacle, and being hit by the attack does a ton of damage and knockback makes this a prime DemonicSpider. Thankfully, the lasers can be predicted.
** The Laserfrogibli in one of the secret areas is even worse because it paralyzes you and sucks you towards the beam. Hope you're not too close or right next to spikes.

Mibibli's Quest is a 2D [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] [[PlatformGame Platformer]]/Shooter in the vein of the VideoGame/MegaMan series.

Basically, you play as a bipedal pig-like creature on his quest to go through six stages, defeat Mooks and Bosses, [[MegaManning gain]] new powers, and overall survive. For now at least, that's the plot. The controls are fairly simple: Arrow Keys to move, Z to jump, X to fire your main projectile weapon, as well as five button combinations corresponding to the five abilities that you gain across the course of the game.

As one of the few, the proud, the people who beat this game on Normal, I feel obliged to update this page.


Overall though, as like with Mega Man series, this game is [[NintendoHard very hard]] with loads of the associated tropes involved. Moreover, what makes this special is that it was created using Stencyl, an ActionScript 3 game creator, and under six days as a challenge. As a result, according to WordOfGod, the game is not yet fully complete.

This game can be currently played at [[http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/2849 here]].
