--> '''Tak''': "Slopviathan, YouMakeMeSick!"

* EasterEgg: [[spoiler: If you put "UNICORN" in the cheat codes screen, a [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows rainbow trail]] will follow behind Tak's moviments throught the levels.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tak's lazy method to clean the shrine is what frees the Big G's.

* BlowYouAway: One of Tak's new Juju powers in this game, which can be used to spin propellers, and remove pointy vines.

* OminousLatinChanting: In the background whenever you fight Stinkolossus main lakeys.

* RuinsForRuinsSake: The level Swollen River Ruins starts with Tak in a temple for no reason.

* AchievementSystem: There's one in the extras menu that keeps track of various emblems that you earn at the end of every level for completing certain tasks such as [[{{Speedrun}} beating it as fast as possible]], [[KillEmAll beating it while defeating every single enemy]] or [[NoDamageRun beating it without taking any damage]]. [[CosmeticAward They don't actually do anything thought]]

* GrossOutShow: The intiarity of Slopviathan's level.
* LeParkour: A major gameplay mechanic involves Tak having the ability to perform parkour-like moves to climb up or run over walls, grab legdes, confuse enemies and skip over small obstacles, with much of the level design incentivising the use of these moves. [[ScrappyMechanic Good luck trying to make work though]].

** Trashthulu's level seems to be heavily inspired by ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', which is fitting given this game's focus on [[TropeNamers Colossus]] [[ColossusClimb Climb]].

* WombLevel: With the exception of Stinkolossus, all the Big G's have at least one segment where you navigate inside their bodies. Gorgonzilla is the most notable exemple, complete with a section where you can see and get inside his pulsating heart.

* DemotedToExtra: Lok went from being a playable character in the previous game to just a [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] in the first level, and even then he only appears in the Wii version, [[PortingDisaster not on [=PS2=]]].

* TheGhost: On the [=PS2=] version, Lok and Zaria's NPC cameos were completely removed... [[EpicFail end yet their names and voice actors are still listed in the credits.]]

* SealedEvilInACan: The spirits of the Big G's are sealed inside a well with a giant cristal blocking it in a place called The Spoiled Shrine, which Tak is tasked to clean. He then tries clean it the easy way (as in throw the mess in the well) and accidentally breaks the cristal, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which frees their spirits and let's them assume fisical form]].

''Tak and the Guardians of Gross'' is a 2008 video game stand-alone sequel to ''VideoGame/TakAndThePowerOfJuju'', ''VideoGame/Tak2TheStaffOfDreams'' and ''VideoGame/TakTheGreatJujuChallenge'' made by Creator/{{THQ}} and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/NintendoWii. It shows that Tak has accidentally released [[FourElementEnsemble four giant monsters]] known as [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever The Big G's]], each one based on some sort of [[BizarroElements grotesque element]]: Trashthulu (made out of [[TrashOfTheTitans trash]] and stones), Slopviathan (made out of [[StickySituation slime]]), Gorgonzilla (made out of [[AnthropomorphicFood cheese]]) and Stinkolossus (a giant head that creates [[VisibleOdor stinky]] [[BlowYouAway tornados]]). He now has to defeat them before anyone notices, with a stong focus on ColossusClimb along the way. [[OddballInTheSeries Unlike previous games]], which were 3D platformers with a heavy focus on exploration and collecting itens, this is a much more linear and simplistic platformer with a clear point A to point B structure and [[FixedCamera fixed camera angles]]. It was also made as a direct tie-in to the TV show based on [[RecursiveAdaptation the previous games.]]

* GrossOutShow: The inteirity of Slopviathan's level.
