History VideoGame / SpeedyEggbert

* CameraScrew: The camera can't scroll fast enough to keep up if Blupi is powered up or driving something.

* HellIsThatNoise: Death by lava or a BottomlessPit? Blupi will let out a ''hellish'' scream!

%%* NoBodyLeftBehind: Touching lava is a bad idea.

* OneUp: Collecting a normal, white chicken egg gives our yellow, four-limbed, big-nosed skateboarding egg-abomination another body to come back in. Try not to think too much about it.
* TwoAndAHalfD: Strictly speaking, anyway. The level terrain and gameplay is [=2D=], while all objects, enemies and Blupi himself are rendered in the best [=3D=] graphics 1998 could buy. Ish.
* AbnormalAmmo: The tanks and helicopters fire some kind of sticky green goo. Best not to ask too many questions.
* AnimalMecha: All of the non-egg-shaped enemies appear to be robot animals. The plate steel shark takes a little getting used to.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Most House and Palace levels contain this.

* BlockPuzzle: Surprisingly well done, and designed to avoid letting you make the game {{Unwinnable}}.
** It's quite possible to reach an unwinnable state, but it takes some effort.
* BombDisposal: Drive any vehicle over them, you'll be fine.
** They don't just disappear, either. They explode in your face, but you cheerfully drive out of the flames a second or so later.
** The word ''any'' is the key one here. Large shielded tank? Bomb-proof. Armor-plated jeep? Bomb-proof. ''Small skateboard?'' Also bomb-proof. Including against ''ceiling mines!''

* BottomlessPits: Both used and averted. Falling into a bottomless pit is an instant Game Over, but there aren't any in the single player game. Custom levels, however...
** Actually, one single level in the first game has a bottomless pit, but the player has to go a bit out of their way to find it.
* ButThouMust: Walk through the exit without collecting every treasure chest, however well hidden or heavily guarded? I think not!

* CoolBoard: Blupi's skateboard, naturally.
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: Enemies will always follow the same patterns, Blupi or no Blupi. One wonder what those tank guys' ammo bill comes to.

* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: Provably a developer's oversight, but in the first game, there's one level that you can't complete without losing one life, as you must make a bomb explode to have access to part of said level and there are no legitimate ways of getting rid of the bomb without walking towards it and losing one life in the process. Gets worse when that level's design is reused in the sequel and neither said bomb was removed, or a legitimate way of disposing of it was added.

* IdleAnimation: Oh, so very many. Leave Blupi alone for a few seconds, and he'll start posing one way or another. See also WhatTheHellPlayer below.
** High-jump Blupi into a low ceiling and keep moving, and he'll shrug it off. Perform the same high-jump while not moving, and he'll spend a few seconds shaking his aching cranium.
** Special mention has to go to the monkey bar animation. Keep Blupi hanging for a while, and he'll suddenly swing round to face you and start scratching his armpits while the game audio switches to ape noises, WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} style.
* ImplausibleBoardingSkills: As mentioned above. Bomb disposal? Really?
** Blupi also manages some insanely long jumps with the thing.

* MissionPackSequel: The second game adds some new gimmicks, levels and scenery but recycles the soundtrack and some level designs while not fixing any issues the first game had.
* MooksButNoBosses: Although density of numbers sometimes makes it feel otherwise.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Touching lava is a bad idea.
* NoPlotNoProblem: Both games have no plot. Blupi must just really love treasure hunting.

** Combines with MadeOfExplodium in several cases. Why on Earth would the wooden skateboard explode?
* NostalgiaLevel: Some levels in the sequel are taken from the first game. Sometimes without any meaningful additions.

* RespawnOnTheSpot: A well-implemented example; Blupi reappears in the last safe location whenever he dies.

* {{Unwinnable}}: Downplayed. Some levels can be rendered unwinnable, but most times it won't happen unless the player is really clumsy or doing it on purpose.

* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: In the sequel.
* AWinnerIsYou: [[spoiler: At the very end of the game, having collected every treasure chest and reached the final exit, you get a picture of Eggbert cheering beside a treasure chest. In other words, the same result as simply completing any custom level! Even worse, the sequel's victory image is visible ''on the game's CD case!'']]
