** There are less death blocks, several bosses [[BossArenaRecovery provide healing items during the fight]], on lower difficulties your lives are refilled after beating a stage, and you can find upgrades to ease the difficulty further. Also, “YOLO” mode was removed, and the other difficulty levels are toned down a notch (for example, the new highest difficulty, “Fucking Impossible”, now gives you two hit points).
** The powerups are improved as well. "F Bombs" can one-shot most normal enemies from an elevated position where just blasting them would be difficult. Kegs, though you can only hold 1 at a time, refill your health completely and can be used any time. Another powerup separate from the "sub weapon" system acts like the Super Scope from the first game in that you lose it if you get hit, but instead of increasing power it allows you to fire 3 spreading bullets at once, and it can stack with itself to increase the shots to FIVE at once. Finally, the rocks from the first game make a return appearance, but even THEY are improved, sporting increased damage and [[HyperDestructiveBouncingBall the ability to ricochet and hit the same enemy multiple times when used in the right way.]]

The sequel to ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'', released in 2016.
An unknown force turns the entire world into a shitty game. After finding this out, WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd also learns that all of his stuff has been stolen, and he sets out on a quest to make things right.
!!This game has examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: "Browntown" is a large sewer that, apparently is full of shit. See "Down the Drain" below.
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: "Croc Conundrum" features a gigantic Advancing ''Crocodile'' of Doom. Unusual in that the croc is not a one-hit kill, and only damages you. "Slide Down the Shaft" features the vertical variant, plus a Retreating Wall of Doom underneath you, so you must descend the shaft quickly, but not ''too'' quickly.
* AntiHero: The Nerd and Critic both aim to save the world, but for selfish reasons; the Nerd to get his stuff back, the Critic to one-up the Nerd and attain all the glory for himself.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Sir Werepire speaks in an archaic manner.
* AnArmAndALeg: Dark Onward loses both his arms during the boss battle against him.
* AssimilationPlot: The entire world is assimilated into a shitty game by an unknown force.
* AttackItsWeakPoint:
** Dark Onward's second form is only vulnerable to shots/missiles to the head.
** [[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Death Mwauthzyx]]]]'s hands are the only part of him you can damage.
* AutoScrollingLevel: "Raw Fish Rampage", which also has you running through conveyor belts.
* BackgroundBoss: [[spoiler:Death Mwauthzyx stays in the background, trying to crush the Nerd with [[GiantHandsOfDoom his hands]]]].
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Death Mwauthzyx, who originates from ''Film/TheAngryVideoNerdTheMovie'']].
* BigBoosHaunt: The "Monster Madness" world, which is set in [[CreepyCemetery a graveyard]] of a 1920's monster film.
* BlackoutBasement: "Deadly Danger Dungeon" is not only filled with various traps, it also has a feature of you being only able to see few steps ahead.
%%* BondOneLiner
* BossArenaIdiocy:
** The fight against [[Film/AngryVideoGameNerdTheMovie Dark Onward]] in Area 52 is loaded with this. First of all, he has [=McButter=] constantly fire missiles into the arena, which have a chance of dropping beer when destroyed by your shots and can also be made to crash into ''him'' for high amounts of damage. Second, there are portals that warp you to the other side of the arena, [[spoiler:which is the only way to avoid Onward's giant second form when it walks towards you]].
** Similarly, Sir Werepire's [[spoiler:''third'' form would be impossible to jump over without the disappearing ghost blocks that are conveniently placed in the arena]].
* BossRemix: Both the boss theme and the final boss theme incorporate bits of the title screen music.
* ChargedAttack: The Nerd gains this ability from the Turbo Controller powerup.
* CheckPoint: The Nerd's Nintoaster.
* {{Chiptune}}: All of the music, unsurprisingly.
* ClusterFBomb: [[VisualPun A literal F-bomb]] is a power-up.
* {{Crossover}}: The game features WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic as a main villain and features an entire world devoted to ''WebVideo/BoardJames'' references (including the titular character as a MiniBoss).
* DownTheDrain: "Browntown", a huge sewer which is apparently full of shit (the Nerd even has to swim through it in one stage). It’s also a massive reference to [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the original Ninja Turtles game on NES.]]
* EndGameResultsScreen: The game end with your total time and deaths.
* ExcusePlot: The world got turned into a shitty video game and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic stole your stuff. Go make things right.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The final boss ([[spoiler:Death Mwauthzyx]]) also have absolutely no buildup.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: When he's attacking in his initial vampire form, Sir Werepire can be seen not wearing pants underneath his cape-- revealing that he's wearing boxer shorts with bats on them.
* GravityScrew: The level "[=WhyWhyWhyWhyWhy=]" is based around this concept as an {{homage}} to ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}''.
* GroinAttack: Inverted. You can kill enemies in "Sush 'Em Up" by smashing a tanuki's scrotum into them.
%%* HardLevelsEasyBosses
%%* HarderThanHard
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Nostalgia Critic attempts to kill the Death Mwauthzyx with a bomb strapped on his back. He blows up before he can finish declaring his plans]].
* HockeyMaskAndChainsaw: The {{Elite Mooks}} in the "[[BigBoosHaunt Monster Madness]]" world have this getup.
* HumongousMecha: CAT-209, the boss of Nerd Gaiden, is an anime cat-themed mecha that stomps around, fires missiles at different heights, and forces you to fight on a conveyor belt where sushi drops down.
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Like in the last game, Beer restores your health, which is [[LifeMeter itself measured in beer bottles]].
* TheGhost: [=McButter=] plays a part in the boss fight against Dark Onward, but is not seen and has no dialogue.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels:
** Easy, Normal, Old-School are the default ones.
** HarderThanHard difficulties begin with Hard as Balls.
** [[OneHitPointWonder Fucking Impossible]].
* InNameOnly: This trope is satirized in Area 52, which is loosely based on [[Film/AngryVideoGameNerdTheMovie the movie]]. Naturally, the Nerd complains about the various departures from the source material.
-->'''Nerd:''' ''[SarcasmMode]'' This was the best part of the movie! When I was fucking around jumping through portals and shit.
* KaizoTrap: "Deadly Danger Dungeon" has Thwomp-like enemies and death blocks are invisible when 4 or more tiles away from the player. This setup causes many thwomps to be completely invisible. While most of the thwomps are hinted at with a suspiciously easy looking collectible or are positioned above series of pits, death blocks are often positioned shortly after the thwomps, to catch you off guard while you're running.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: There's a boss named "Mr. Fuckit", who looks almost exactly like Mr. Bucket (previously featured on ''WebVideo/BoardJames'').
* LightGun: The Nerd's weapons of choice, like in the last game. However, the upgrade to Super Scope is permanent this time.
* LudicrousGibs: Done every time something dies. Now the gibs also have their own physics engine.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Parodied. Sir Werepire, the boss of "Monster Madness" world, is a vampire-werewolf-knight-ghost-[[spoiler:zombie]] monster, and you fight each form back-to-back. [[spoiler:Once the zombie form is revealed, the Nerd [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere understandably loses his patience]] and ends the boss fight before the zombie phase can begin.]]
* NotQuiteFlight: The Nerd gains the ability to prolong his jumps and glide through the air for a limited time with the Cape.
* NumberedSequels
* OneHitKill: Death blocks, bottomless pits, mines and the laser traps will kill you instatly regardless of health.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Dark Onward's wheelchair transforms into a giant orange robot scorpion after sustaining enough damage, as a reference to Sasori Vader doing the same thing in the Famicom version of ''Star Wars'']].

* RecycledSoundtrack: Quite prominent, though its songs are still awesome none-the-less.
** The BGM for "Virtual Insanity" is a re-arranged version of "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts" from the first game.
** The boss theme is a remix of the orginal's boss theme.
*** And the final boss theme (Final Battle) is a slower version of the second game's boss theme.
** "Those who Fart Further" is a fart-based remix of "A Critical Battle".
*** "The Final Showdown" (Not to be confused for "Final Battle") is a reprise of "A Critical Battle".
** "[=WhyWhyWhyWhyWhy=]" and "Two-Sided Die" more distorted versions of the first level themes of their respective worlds. The latter of which is actually a '''Mini-boss theme'''

* SequelDifficultyDrop:
** There are less death blocks, several bosses [[BossArenaRecovery provide healing items during the fight]], on lower difficulties your lives are refilled after beating a stage, and you can find upgrades to ease the difficulty further. Also, “YOLO” mode was removed, and the other difficulty levels are toned down a notch (for example, the new highest difficulty, “Fucking Impossible”, now gives you two hit points).
** The powerups are improved as well. "F Bombs" can one-shot most normal enemies from an elevated position where just blasting them would be difficult. Kegs, though you can only hold 1 at a time, refill your health completely and can be used any time. Another powerup separate from the "sub weapon" system acts like the Super Scope from the first game in that you lose it if you get hit, but instead of increasing power it allows you to fire 3 spreading bullets at once, and it can stack with itself to increase the shots to FIVE at once. Finally, the rocks from the first game make a return appearance, but even THEY are improved, sporting increased damage and [[HyperDestructiveBouncingBall the ability to ricochet and hit the same enemy multiple times when used in the right way.]]
* SequentialBoss: Sir Werepire has ''four'' forms. [[spoiler:He's about to unleash a fifth one when the Nerd gives up on him]].

* ZeroEffortBoss:
** After beating the Battle Frogs, their Master Sphincter comes out… and goes down in a single shot. [[spoiler:Downplayed in that his kick is an instant kill, but it's ludicrously easy to dodge]].
** CAT-209 can easily be defeated without taking a single hit just by holding duck in the bottom left corner and mashing the fire button to destroy any missiles and sushi coming at you while dealing a small amount of damage to the boss every time its hitbox moves into your line of fire. Granted, this isn't a very ''fast'' way of killing it.

** CAT-209 can easily be defeated without taking a single hit just by holding duck in the bottom left corner and mashing the fire button to destroy any missiles and sushi coming at you while dealing a small amount of damage to the boss every time its hitbox moves into your line of fire. Granted, this isn't a very ''fast'' way of killing it.
