** [[TheHedonist Emperor Zizzy Balooba]] is a ruler of an alien empire and the ultimate mastermind behind the events of duology. [[RichBoredom Growing bored]] after uncovering all mysteries of space and time, Emperor decided to amuse himself by orchestrating an invasion on Earth. Sending his army to drive Minecrawlers through the cities and cause heroes great hardships, while remaining completely undetected with the heroes not knowing that he even exists, the Emperor manipulates everyone around him and even allows the heroes to win a few battles just to [[ItAmusedMe amuse himself]]. After being confronted by the heroes and revealing his true motivations, the Emperor was willing to stop his attempts to destroy or enslave Earth, since he had his fun. Being beaten mostly because he didn't take the fight seriously, Emperor manages to [[DeathIsDramatic die dramatically]] as he wishes, never losing his jovial side.

** [[PragmaticVillainy Schwang Schwing]] is the [[TheDragon chief agent]] of Emperor Zizzy Balooba, who commands his armies, while his boss remains in the shadows. Easily capturing both Kurt Hectic and Max, Schwang also manages to have his army penetrate Dr. Fluke Hawkins' impenetrable ship, sending an alien genius, the BFB, to capture Hawkins, in which he ultimately succeeded. Battling and evading Kurt, while not losing his cool attitude, Schwang then casually reveals that the Emperor was behind everything, simply because he has [[ItsPersonal nothing personal]] against Kurt. Preparing the Ultimate Doomsday Device and initiating a countdown, Schwang manages to face Max in combat and remain a dangerous opponent, despite being handicapped and only being able to move in a flying wheelchair.

* AwesomeButImpractical: A few examples.
** The [[UnrealisticBlackHole Black Hole Grenade]]. Kurt only gets them a few times during the game, and often in situations where they are far from useful.
** The [[HomingProjectile Missile]] [[PainfullySlowProjectile Launcher]] can be found by Max in later levels. He only gets one at a time, and is usually found near the end of his levels.
* CrazyAwesome: Max in spades. A six-legged, cigar-smoking robotic dog with a gravelly voice and the ability to [[GunsAkimbo wield four guns]]? Yeah.
* GuideDangIt: Suffers from a fair bit of this. Notable examples include:
** Surviving as Dr. Hawkins in level 3 after opening an airlock by mistake. It involves [[spoiler: magnets, [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]], and [[SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay a fishbowl on the head]].]]
** Figuring out that in that same level that to bypass the room with all the rockets lying around, you have to [[spoiler: toss your pet fish into the broken grate in the floor - leading to an [[UnexpectedGameplayChange unexpected short scene]] where you play as the fish]]. It doesn't help that Dr. Hawkins offers a [[RedHerring "hint"]] about finding a [[NoodleImplements monkey so you can get jelly and a blowdryer]].
** The moving blue spheres surrounded by clouds in level 4 - at no point is it even hinted that they [[spoiler: provide lift to Kurt's parachute.]]
** A very unclear sniping puzzle in early level 7 - requires Kurt to stand in specific locations to activate the sniper targets.
** As Max in level 8, in the [[spoiler: No Smoking area in Swizzle Firma]], you have to destroy a large amount of breakable scenery to open the door to the next area.
** Finishing off the [[BreatherBoss final encounter]] in level 9 requires you to figure out that [[spoiler: only pumpernickel shots work on the boss]].
** For the final boss: Knowing you can stand on the bubbles [[spoiler: inside Zizzy Balooba's body when you fight him as Dr. Hawkins.]], which allows you to punch his [[spoiler: brain]].
* PortingDisaster: As [[AvertedTrope averted]] as it can get with the UsefulNotes/WiiWare version.
* SequelDisplacement: The article on [[{{VideoGame/MDK}} the original]] NeedsWikiMagicLove than it gets now. The article on this game does not need as much. It doesn't help that this game got both a UsefulNotes/WiiWare port ''and'' an [[UpdatedRerelease HD makeover]], while the previous game got neither due to the source code of ''MDK'' becoming lost over time (possibly not helped by the fact the developer of ''MDK'' 1, Shiny, has since gone out of business).

Giant Space Flea From Nowhere is not YMMV and examples are not arguable.


* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Arguably. The first mention we get of [[spoiler: Emperor Zizzy]] is three levels before he's fought. The only hint we get of his existence before that anywhere in the MDK series are a few textures in the Alien Orbiter in level 4 featuring a royal seal.
