History VideoGame / ToiletInWonderland

The game was created for the annual VIP RPG Red-and-White 2010 festival by Team Nonsense. The game is heavily inspired by the book ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' and other surreal RPG's like ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'', ''VideoGame/AoOni'' and ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}''.

** When doctor was a child he was friends with a sentient soccer ball, the white part of a nail, and salty water.

** IGN's Peer Schneider (best known in Japan for memetic Gaijin 4koma) appears in reaction to Mira blowing up a cow with a [[VideoGame/{{SuperMarioBros}} Bullet Bill]].

** Luigi also appears in the same area, [[ButtMonkey but fails to be an obstacle in any way]], being knocked out of the way when Mira runs into him. If you return to the area after exiting via the toilet he can be collected as an item.

** [[VideoGame/{{SuperMarioBros}} Mario]] will kill Mira on contact. Since he's quite fast and there are sometimes multiple copies of him, this can be particularly difficult to avoid if you aren't expecting it. Certain events in the house he appears in can cause him to appear too quickly to be dodged, such as looking at the Mario painting or entering the wrong locker combination.

* RandomEventsPlot: It at least ''starts out'' kinda making sense, with Mira's intense constipation sending her into a dream realm, but from there the game devolves into wandering from one random plot point to the next with little-to-no transition.
* ShoutOut: The game over screen is a reference to ''VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge''.

* ArtInitiatesLife: [[spoiler: In the flashbacks seen before the battle against the Avatar of Irregularity, it is revealed that Bottom was a character originally created by Mira's brother, Colin, in a drawing.]]

* TheBigGuy: Bottom serves this role, using his raw strength to get Mira out of multiple jams. [[spoiler: It doesn't help him against the final boss, however.]]

* TheCameo

* ChekhovsGun:

* ExpositionFairy: [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Of all people,]] Music/MichaelJackson serves this role, popping up a couple of times to drop exposition about the world.
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: The final boss of the game is an expy of the ''[[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Kirby]]'' villain Zero. The music that plays during the battle is a remix of Zero-Two's battle theme.]]

* GoldenEnding: Achieved by getting 100% of the collectibles. [[spoiler:Mira uses the Stool Softener to bring back all of her party members after being pulped by the final boss, and they each unleash their ultimate attack on it. Mira then bids her friends farewell as she returns to her own world.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In all the endings, the fire extinguisher sacrifices itself in the battle against the Avatar of Irregularity to destroy it.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The lonely Doctor who saves Mira [[spoiler: gets a flashback(?) where he gets his own moment, facing down his own blue tongue-father (who is just a palette swap of Mira's red tongue-father) with the help of his own friends.]]

* RandomEventsPlot: The Game; it at least ''starts out'' kinda making sense, with Mira's intense constipation sending her into a dream realm, but from there the game devolves into wandering from one random plot point to the next with little-to-no transition.

* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Figuring out how to avoid the sudden instant death events (see below for an example) often comes down to this.
* {{Troll}}: Salmon keeps popping out from out of nowhere in one area to kill Mira, often showing up again from another direction even after you think you've successfully avoided him.
* ZeroEffortBoss: Fully enforced with the closest thing the game has to "bosses." [[spoiler: the Doctor's blue tongue-father's encounter plays out entirely on its own with no input from the player, Mira's own tongue-father is defeated by an NPC with no input from the player, and the final boss battle progresses all the way through to its conclusion [[RuleOfThree with no input from the player.]]]]

When a young girl suffering from constipation, called Mira, attempts to go to the toilet, she mysteriously finds herself inside of a surreal world inhabited by strange beings. Alongside a walking muscular butt person, a nameless being, and a white rabbit she must find magical toilets and obtain laxatives in order to relieve herself from constipation.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In all the endings, the fire extinguisher sacrifices itself in the battle against the avatar of irregularity to destroy it.]]

* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: The FinalBoss kills off your party members one by one - first Ribbon, then Bottom, then the NPC you named dies TakingTheBullet for Mira. Finally, the Fire Extinguisher (who wasn't officially part of your party) makes a HeroicSacrifice to destroy the boss.]]

** One cow that blocks your path says it would be hard to get him to move, since he isn't equipped with walking sprites.

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: The final boss of the game is an expy of the ''[[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Kirby]]'' villian Zero. The music that plays during the battle is a remix of Zero-Two's battle theme.]]

* ToiletHumor: Obviously a game called ''Toilet In Wonderland" would contain this type of humor, but surprisingly, it's downplayed. There are a few references in dialogue, a "Constipation" stat and collectible laxatives, and a ''character named Constipation'', but beyond that, it's more or less devoid of this kind of humor, instead relying more on SurrealHumor and sheer MindScrew.

* ZeroEffortBoss: Fully enforced with the closest thing the game has to "bosses." [[spoiler: the Doctor's blue tongue-father's encouter plays out entirely on its own with no input from the player, Mira's own tongue-father is defeated by an NPC with no input from the player, and the final boss battle progresses all the way through to its conclusion [[RuleOfThree with no input from the player.]]]]

** Mira is able to befriend Alice from [[Literature/{{AlicesAdventuresInWonderland}} Alice In Wonderland]] by dancing with her.

* ExpositionFairy: [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Of all people,]] MichaelJackson serves this role, popping up a couple of times to drop exposition about the world.
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: The final boss of the game is an expy of the [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Kirby]] villian Zero. The music that plays during the battle is a remix of Zero-Two's battle theme.]]

* SurrealHorror: It's pretty low-key, but some bits of the game clearly show the YumeNikki inspiration and can be pretty unnerving. The Mario segment, of all things, manages to temporarily turn the game into SurvivalHorror.

-> '''- MJ''', yes that [[Music/{{Michael Jackson}} MJ]]

* RedHerring: All over the place. You pick up useless-seeming things that end up serving an important purpose later, useless-seeming things that are ''actually'' useless, and more.
** [[spoiler: The "Constipation" stat is actually useless, and can never be lowered to zero in the course of gameplay. The game's ending is the same regardless, so by extension, the collectible laxative pills are also useless.]]

* NominalImportance: One NPC asks Mira to give him [[HelloInsertNameHere a name]] before she escapes one area. This allows him to survive and later join Mira's team.

* SurrealHumor: Most of the game consists of this.
* ToiletHumor: Obviously a game called ''Toilet In Wonderland" would contain this type of humor.
