14	-----
15	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: ''Barry Vlog'' depicts him as a not very confident and self-centered BadLiar. His selfish tendencies are very notable, as he was given "I'm Barry Steakfries!" as a CharacterCatchphrase, reacts negatively when anything related to {{WebAnimation/Dan\|TheMan}} is mentioned to the point of considering ''him'' an ArchEnemy instead of Brains, [[note]]The original idea was that Barry is an AscendedFanboy of Dan's video game, and the one responsible for the mobile version of it in the first place. This was however subverted in the last episode, when he revealed that their rivalry was made up.[[/note]] and when [[VideoGame/{{Raskulls}} The King]] (For whom {{narcissis\|t}}m is the main character trait) appears, he comes off as less selfish than Barry. Parts of this characterisation started popping up in the media following vlogs, though in heavily downplayed form.
16	* ArchEnemy: Although he considers {{WebAnimation/Dan\|TheMan}} his arch-nemesis in ''Barry Vlog'' and original promotional material for ''Age of Zombies'' advertised [[AdvertisedExtra Zombie T-Rex]] as such, his main enemy is actually Professor Brains.
17	* AwesomeAussie: An Australian man who single-handedly stopped the ZombieApocalypse, wears no sleeves to emphasise his muscles, and has a noticeable Australian accent.
18	* BadassBiker: Has his own bike, the Bad As Hog, which he's sometimes seen riding.
19	* BadassInANiceSuit: His default outfit is a work suit, though with a [[SleevesAreForWimps torn-off sleeves]].
20	* BattleStrip: He has a tendency to shred sleeves of his suit whenever he's about to jump into action.
21	* BlueIsHeroic: The main hero of the series, whose IconicOutfit is a blue suit.
22	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes and hair are both of brown color. Subverted in all sprite-based games, where his eyes are always depicted as black.
23	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His depiction in the early versions of ''Age of Zombies'' is... [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jetpackjoyride/images/f/fd/BarryAoZOG.png notably different to say the least]]. Aside from more realistic look and proportions, he was always seen {{smoking\|IsCool}} and had a potty mouth, making him more in line with M-rated {{Action Hero}}es like VideoGame/DukeNukem and VideoGame/SeriousSam. These aspects would be either removed (in case of the former) or drastically toned down (the latter).
24	* EdibleThemeNaming: Barry ''Steakfries''.
25	* GivenNameReveal: In the 100th episode of ''Barry Vlog'', his mother reveals that Barry's real name is [[OddNameNormalNickname Bareth McSteakington Friesenhausen]]. He apparently was going to be named Gareth, but it was misspelt.
26	* HeroesLoveDogs: One of the things he took from Legitimate Research is a robotic dog named Flash, who became his pet and often joins him on his adventures.
27	* HeroicComedicSociopath: His altitude, especially in ''Jetpack Joyride'', can be seen as extremely rebellious and unprovoked. However, given [[BlackAndGrayMorality the scientists' own alignment]] and his more heroic depiction in other games, it's clear that he's still a good guy of the story. His bio for ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' states that he will always save the day, [[DestructiveSaviour but not without some collateral damage]].
28	* HeroicMime: In ''Jetpack Joyride'', where he's limited to a few grunts upon getting hit. Other games tend to subvert this by having a dialogue (and in case of 2020 version of ''Monster Dash'', a speaking voice in the middle of gameplay).
29	* HotBlooded: Barry's primary reason for stealing the jetpack is for the thrill of it.
30	* HunterOfMonsters: In ''Monster Dash'', where enemies are not limited to zombies.
31	* IconicItem: Machine Gun Jetpack, from ''Monster Dash'' onwards. Most games since then have him appear with it on his back, and in the games with multiple jetpacks to choose from, Machine Gun is always the default option.
32	* KarmicThief: Barry steals jetpacks, vehicles, and gadgets, using them to cause chaos and have fun. His victims on both ends are the evil scientists planning world domination.
33	* MyOwnGrampa: [[spoiler: Implied at the end of Wild West chapter in ''Age of Zombies''. After defeating Mad Dog, Ruby takes Barry to her place to give him the "reward". Before they do so, Barry ask her for a full name, which turns out to be Miss Rubenstein [=McSexypants=], which (as he notes) is the same name as his great grandmother's.]] This was heavily altered in 2023 script, ultimately averting the trope.
34	* OneManArmy: ''Age of Zombies'' and ''Monster Dash'' pit him against zombies and monsters, who he takes down with ease.
35	* PermaStubble: Has five o'clock shadow on his face. Some of the swappable costumes in various games keep it intact.
36	* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Craig's Blue. Barry is impulsive and enthusiastic, compared to calm and more down to earth Craig.
37	* TheRival: Vlogs (And some other promotional material) depict him to be in rivalry with {{WebAnimation/Dan\| The Man}}, being very reluctant to talk about Dan's series and wanting [[ItsAllAboutMe to get attention back to himself]]. Ultimately subverted in the last episode, where he reveals that there wasn't any rivalry between them.
38	* SeriesMascot: For this series as a whole, of course, but he is also one for Creator/HalfbrickStudios, being most often used for marketing of their other games and having playable appearance in most of them.
39	* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: When Machine Gun Jetpack isn't in use, expect Barry to wield a SawedOffShotgun.
40	* SleevesAreForWimps: Barry claims to have a "Shirt-Ripping Disease", a desire to rip the sleeves of his shirt when he feels [[HotBlooded trill and excitement]], which means that his default appearance is a blue work suit with jagged edges. According to one of his Vlog videos, this came from his family and has been spanning for generations.
41	-->'''Barry''': Holy balls! This place is cold!
42	-->'''Craig''': Now you wish you'd never torn off your sleeves, hum?
43	-->'''Barry''': What? No way! Living without sleeves is my lifestyle!
44	* SmokingIsCool: As part of the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, the original versions of ''Age of Zombies'' had him chewing on a cigar to emphasize his awesomeness. Like constant swearing, later ports and games do not show or mention him doing this, while still depicting him as a badass character.
45	* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Before the events of the games, he's seen working as a gramophone salesman. From very little of what was shown, he very clearly found his job boring and difficult, since gramophones became incredibly outdated and hard to sell. It was stated several times that he quit after the events of ''Jetpack Joyride'' began.
46	* SuperStrength: He was shown having enough power to do some hard to impossible tasks for normal humans, such as [[DynamicEntry breaking the wall]] with bare hands, ripping sleeves off his shirt with ease, and was shown stopping the satellite from falling down in one of the Rock Operas.
47	* VagueAge: His exact age is ambiguous, though some Vlog episodes and ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' state that he was growing up in TheNineties.
48	* WorkingClassHero: He was a salesman for a gramophone-making company, which is heavily implied to be unsuccessful due to gramophones getting out of fashion long time ago.
49	* ZombieApocalypseHero: His role in ''Age of Zombies'', by virtue of Professor Brains causing ZombieApocalypse in the past and future.

55	[[caption-width-right:230:"I'll be unstoppable, providing Barry Steakfries does not break through that wall right now!"]]
56	->'''Voiced by:''' Brendan Deboy
57	The main antagonist of the series. The man behind Legitimate Research, this MadScientist is very eager to TakeOverTheWorld. Unfortunately for him, all of his plans are continuously interrupted by his ArchEnemy, Barry Steakfries.
58	-----
59	* AlliterativeName: His full name is '''B'''arry '''B'''rains.
60	* ArchEnemy: He is the most notable enemy of Barry Steakfries.
61	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: One of his villainous acts is to [[KickTheDog kick Flash the robot dog]] in the first episode of ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts''.
62	* BeardOfEvil: Spots a green goatee on his chin.
63	* BigBad: First appeared in ''Age of Zombies'' as the main antagonist responsible for creating zombies in the first place, and filled this role within the series since. Although he doesn't directly appear in ''Monster Dash'', original iOS port of ''[=AoZ=]'' implied that he was also the one behind the events of ''Monster Dash'', which would later be confirmed by ''Jetpack Joyride 2''. ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts'' revealed that he's a CEO of Legitimate Research, making him the antagonist of the original ''Jetpack Joyride'' as well, although he didn't make a proper appearance in it until Brains Attack event in 2023.
64	* DrBrainpart: ''Professor Brains''. The name is a MultipleReferencePun: not only is he smart, but he also created an army of [[BrainFood brain-eating]] zombies in attempt to destroy humankind.
65	* GreenAndMean: Has green facial hair and is as malevolent as ever.
66	* FinalBoss: In ''Age of Zombies'', where you fight him in the last of five (initial) worlds, Future.
67	* FourEyesZeroSoul: A BigBad of the franchise, he is never seen without the glasses he's wearing.
68	* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: This MadScientist is always seen wearing a white labcoat.
69	* LastNameBasis:
70	** He's only referred to as Brains, by his last name. The reveal of his first name is treated as a surprise, because [[OneSteveLimit he shares it]] with Barry Steakfries.
71	** One the other side of coin, he always calls Barry "Mr. Steakfries" in the original script for ''Age of Zombies'', as a hint that two share the same first name. However, he stopped doing so in his later appearances, and has been mostly referring to Barry by his first name.
72	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Well, he is a Professor that doesn't hide the fact that he's up to no good.
73	* TheNapoleon: In ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts'' at least, he appears to be shorter than Barry, and has a relative short temper. He is also the shortest of the villains working for Really Bad Corp, a corporation that he took control over.
74	* NeverMyFault: Befitting of someone as arrogant as him, he blames the [[RobotMe robot version of him]] for his scheme to kill both Barry and Robo Barry failing. In actuality, it's his fault for [[DidntThinkThisThrough not considering]] Robo Barry would pull a HeroicSacrifice to save Barry or vice versa.
75	* OneWingedAngel: In ''Age of Zombies'', he fuses himself with the zombie power and the future technology and transforms into a large zombie cyborg, which serves as the game's FinalBoss.
76	* RightHandCat: He's the primary bad guy and, in the third episode of ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts'', he pets a lazy fat cat that seems to be his pet.
77	* RobotMe: Like Barry, he has his own robotic counterpart, though all it does is brainstorming ridiculous jetpack ideas.
78	* StarterVillain: Takes this role in ''Jetpack Joyride 2''. After he's defeated in Sector 10 of Legitimate Research, the game shifts focus on Minertaur and other villains. However, he still occasionally appears between sectors to boss around whoever Barry is currently fighting.
79	* TakeOverTheWorld: He states he wants to rule the world and is the main villain.
80	* TheTeamNormal: Of the villains that work alongside (and later, ''for'') him in ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts'' and ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', he can be considered the most ordinary one. For context, those villains include a fan of high-tech Japanese technologies, a Soviet mercenary, a heavyset minotaur, an undead ancient queen and a martian mermaid.
81	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While almost many Halfbrick Studios villains can be serious and/or laughable and comical, Brains is dead serious.
82	* VillainousUnderdog: Despite being the main baddie and the ArchEnemy of Barry, he doesn't seem to have any fighting prowess by himself. Barry, being a OneManArmy, tends to make a quick work of him and doesn't take Brains very seriously.
83	* VillainousWidowsPeak: His hair-style includes a windows peak.
84	* WalkingSpoiler: In ''Age of Zombies'', where it's hard to say anything other than him starting a ZombieApocalypse without spoiling part of the game. This is mostly because, despite being taken out by Barry in the very first dialogue scene, he subverts WeHardlyKnewYe by coming back for the last world, Future. Most later media in the series tends to avoid this by taking place before ''Age of Zombies''.
85	* ZeroEffortBoss: Subverted in ''Age of Zombies''. Professor Brains is initially introduced as a BigBad, but gets shot by Barry at the very beginning of the game (With the ability to interact with him depending on the version you play, as originally you had to pull a trigger on him, but in most later ports he's a CutsceneBoss), with the rest of the plot revolving around Barry destroying remnants of his zombie army. Then the Future kicks in, where Brains is not only alive, thanks to time travelling long before Barry broke into his lab, but fuses power of zombies with the technology of the future and tries to use it against Barry.

89	!!Zombies
90	Primary enemies in ''Age of Zombies''. Also reappear in ''Monster Dash'' as an obstacle usually encountered in Zombie Metropolis.
91	----
92	* ActionBomb: Red-glowing zombies will explode once you touch or shoot them.
93	* FriendlyZombie: In ''Monster Dash'''s "Zombie Barry", "Zombie High Fivin'" and "Zombie Diplomacy" missions, the zombies are harmless, and your goal is to high-five as many as you can while still avoiding contact with other types of monsters.
94	* GiantMook: Some of the Zombies have bigger versions of themselves. They require more bullets to go down.
95	* {{Mummy}}: The zombies Barry encounters in Ancient Egypt are mummies. They would become a distinct enemy type in ''Monster Dash''.
96	* OffWithHisHead: Killing a zombie in ''Monster Dash'' causes its head to visibly fall off.
97	* TheSpiny: Some zombies in ''Monster Dash'' wear spiky helmets, which prevent Barry from defeating them by a GoombaStomp and will damage him instead. They can only be defeated with a gun.
98	* ZergRush: Individually, zombies are quite weak and don't take much health from Barry (plus, there's RegeneratingHealth). However, they can become a real threat due to their sheer amount. Being cornered by few of them means they'll chop off chunks of your health very quickly, which might make you lose a life. Get surrounded a huge wave of zombies with nowhere to run and you're a dead meat.

105	->'''Voiced by:''' Jesse Higginson (''Star Skater'')
106	Once an ordinary dinosaur from the Caveman era, turned into a zombie and pitted against Barry. Made its debut in ''Age of Zombies'' as the first boss, becoming a recurring character in the series since, mostly as a PowerUpMount.
107	-----
108	* AcidAttack: One of its attacks is spitting some acid forward.
109	* AdmiringTheAbomination: When they first meet, Barry calls it "one of the greatest creations to ever walk the Earth" and is sad by the fact that he has to kill it.
110	* AdvertisedExtra: The original advertisements for ''Age of Zombies'' gave a lot of attention to it, despite only being the first boss. By contrast, Professor Brains [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer barely gets any mention at all]].
111	* BreakoutCharacter: One of the few characters from ''Age of Zombies'' that isn't a subject of ChuckCunninghamSyndrome, appearing as a skin for Lil' Stomper in ''JJ'' and in various crossovers alongside Barry.
112	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Started as one of Barry's enemies, eventually turned into a friendly PowerUpMount. When Zombie T-Rex was added into Halfbrick-published game ''Star Skater'', it was revealed to be secretly friends with Barry.
113	* {{Expy}}: To [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi]]. Both are green dinosaurs that serve as mounts for the protagonists that can eat enemies. In it's appearance in ''Jetpack Joyride'', Z-Rex even tries to imitate Yoshi's Flutter Jump.
114	* OneHitKill: In ''Age of Zombies'', ramming into any boss while riding the power-up version of it will instantly kill them, though the player will also automatically lose Z-Rex.
115	* PowerUpMount: 2014 update to ''Age of Zombies'' allowed Barry to ride on Zombie T-Rex for few seconds by collecting a specific pickup crate. When active, this dinosaur will be able to eat any zombie it stumbles across, and OneHitKill any boss. Later, ''Jetpack Joyride'' would make Z-Rex into a vehicle skin for Lil' Stomper.
116	* RaisingTheSteaks: It's in their name -- a dinosaur that became a zombie.
117	* RobotMe: Zombie T-Rex had three different robot replicas made of it. One is a robotic creation of Professor Brains made out of nuts in ''VideoGame/BattleRacingStars'', the other is more futuristic {{cyberpunk}} inspired one that appears in ''Magic Brick Wars'', and the last is "Wild Wild Rex", one of the vehicles in ''Jetpack Joyride 2''.

121	!!Crown Prince Runingunin of the Royal Empire
122	An immortal member of Queen V's Royal Consult, whom Barry first meets in Ancient Egypt.
123	----
124	* CreepyCrossdresser: In the bonus Western chapter he [[DisguisedInDrag disguises himself as one of the Ruby's sisters]] held hostage by Mad Dog [=McDraw=]'s zombies. In pre-2023 script, this is played for Squick, as Barry falls for it thinking he's Ruby and starts making advancements towards him, only to be visibly disgusted when actual Ruby appears.
125	* EarlyBirdCameo: He can be spotted at the very beginning of the game working for Brains. He only gets a proper introduction in the third world, Ancient Egypt. [[spoiler:This is also referenced by the ending. After Barry returns to the present, he's greeted by Runingunin, in the same room where the adventure began and wearing the same clothes as he did in the intro cutscene.]]
126	* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: In his EarlyBirdCameo and [[spoiler:the ending]].
127	* ResurrectiveImmortality: First time they meet, he gets shot due to Barry not wanting to deal with him. He comes back just before the next level and explains that members of Royal Consult such as himself live for many years and do not stay dead for long.

132	A humble man from Ancient Japan, who asks Barry to save his village from the zombies lead by Super Ramen Samurai.
133	----
134	* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: In pre-2023 versions. Although he doesn't use L/R switch or adds "ee" at the end of some words, he's still stereotypically polite and most of his dialogue is in heavily mangled English.
135	-->'''Tanaka:''' Caution Captain! Super Ramen Samurai may take village and kill! Then laugh!
136	* JapanesePoliteness: Is extremely polite to strangers, including Barry.

152	* BigRedDevil: Devils are depicted as red imp-like creatures, though they are [[FunSize pretty much the same size as Barry]].
153	* ClassicalMovieVampire: Vampire monsters are depicted with the widow's peak, dark suit with a cape and vampire fangs.
154	* KungFuProofMook: Like zombies, some of their variants can't be stomped on and require weapons to be defeated.
155	** Mummies that are covered in green poison and Demons that [[WreathedInFlames are set on fire]]. If one tries to stomp them, they'll take twice as much damage, one for touching them and second from poison/fire.
156	** Yeti wearing a pair of antlers. Unlike other monsters with similar changes, they don't damage Barry at all if stomped on.
157	* {{Mummy}}: Like zombies, mummies also make a return, but are depicted as a separate monster type, encountered in Tomb Town.

167	A female version of Barry from a GenderBentAlternateUniverse. Made her debut in the 2021 update to ''Monster Dash'', and reappeared in ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' with more active role.
168	-----
169	* ActionGirl: Being an alternate version of Barry, she can kick just as much ass as he can.
170	* AlliterativeName: '''B'''etty '''B'''eefpies.
171	* CostumeEvolution: Her debut in ''Monster Dash'' had her wear a clothes that were very similar to Barry's: A blue work suit and pants with a white shirt and black boots. The most distinguishable part of her attire was a black belt on her waist as opposed to her male counterpart having a tie. In ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', she wears earrings, a skirt and heels, The belt is now gone and her suit is unbuttoned, revealing that she wears a white '''T-'''shirt underneath.
172	* DistaffCounterpart: Essentially a female version of Barry.
173	* EdibleThemeNaming: Her last name is ''Beefpies'', matching that of Barry Steakfries.
174	* GenderBentAlternateUniverse: Comes from one. When she encounters Barry before the 9th Sector of Moon Tomb, she calls Barry's universe "a stupid version where [they] all have changed gender."
175	* OneWomanArmy: Befitting of a DistaffCounterpart of Barry (who's an example himself), Betty can single-handedly take down multiple foes.
176	* SleevesAreForWimps: Naturally. The description for Betty's Blouse in ''Jetpack Joyride'' implies that this trait applies to every alternate version of Barry.
177	--> Fact: An infinite number of Barrys across an infinite number of universes cannot produce a single sleeve.

186	-----
187	* ButtMonkey: They are very frequently portrayed being on the receiving end of things, sometimes even when Barry isn't involved.
188	* CloneArmy: One of the dialogues in ''VideoGame/BattleRacingStars'' revealed that at least some of the scientists are clones. This was confirmed by [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/425536341602861056/1006964560458170510/IMG_20220810_224340.jpg one of the bios]] leading up to the release of ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', which revealed that Professor Brains based them off his now late friend Peter Simpkins.
189	* CowardlyMooks: They are easy to scare off by activating the jetpack or riding in a vehicle. However some jetpacks (Like the Rainbow jetpack, DIY jetpack and Golden Piggy Pack) subvert this, as the scientists aren't fazed by them.
190	* FacelessGoons: Their faces are never seen. Even with [[XRayVision X-Ray Specs]] equipped, which otherwise reveal their bodies, the game doesn't show what they look like without their helmets. The only exception to this so far was a female scientist from ''Barry Steakfries: From the Files of Jetpack Joyride'' comic book, nicknamed "Lab Lady".
191	* FriendlyEnemy: Despite directly opposing him, many of the scientists get along with Barry really well. One mission requires "high-fiving" them in a friendly manner and Barry was seen helping them decorate their lab in the Christmas trailer.
192	* GasMaskMooks: Half of the scientists are seen wearing gas masks.
193	* HarmlessEnemy: The scientists never try to harm Barry themselves. They use zappers, lasers and missiles instead.

205	* CatDogDichotomy: A {{Foil}} to the unnamed orange cat that appears in "The Very Last Minute" Rock Opera and the third ''Shorts'' episode. Flash is Barry's robotic LoyalAnimalCompanion that helps him along the way. The cat, meanwhile is a fat and lazy pet of Professor Brains, that doesn't really do anything within its screentime.
206	* SilentSnarker: A couple instances imply he'd be a DeadpanSnarker if he could talk, like rolling his eyes at one of Barry and Robo Barry's antics.
207	* SuddenlySpeaking: He usually only makes robotic barks (and ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' revealed that he otherwise only SpeaksInBinary), but in 2018 versions of ''Jetpack Joyride'', he was given a dialogue text teaching Barry how to play the game.

214	A robotic version of Barry Steakfries, created by Professor Brains in an one of his attempts to defeat Barry. Made to be an EvilKnockoff that imitates the original in every single way, but TurnedAgainstTheirMasters and sides with Barry instead.
215	-----
216	* BreakoutCharacter: Initially just one of the many clothing sets for Barry to wear in ''Jetpack Joyride'', eventually made into his own character and given ADayInTheLimelight in episode 3 of ''Shorts''.
217	* CopiedTheMoralsToo: Brains decided to make him act just like Barry - maybe too much like Barry. This backfires, and two become friends.
218	* EvilKnockoff: Of Barry, created by Professor Brains to finally defeat him. Subverted, as it doesn't take him long to side with Barry Steakfries.
219	* EyeLightsOut: When defeated, Robo-Barry's red eyelids would fade out.
220	* HeelFaceTurn: Starts as Barry's opponent, but almost immediately becomes his friend due to sharing the exact same sense of humour (seeing a fat cat being stuck).
221	* HeroicSacrifice: At the end of the episode he's introduced in, he takes a ride on two-seat jetpack with Barry, which turns out to be Brains' trap set to blow up. He decides to sacrifice himself and punches real Barry off the jetpack.
222	* RobotMe: To Barry, as his name indicates.
223	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Built by Professor Brains to get rid of Barry. Unfortunately, Robo-Barry [[CopiedTheMoralsToo was made to act too much like the original]], and he joins the very same person he was supposed to destroy.

231	->'''Voiced by:''' Matthew Pollino
232	A Legitimate Research scientist, was met and befriended by Barry after his rampage in the first episode of ''Jetpack Joyride Shorts''.
233	-----
234	* AmbidextrousSprite: The crack on his visor is usually where his right eye would be, which is how he appears in the animated shorts and as a playable character in ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', but the dialogue icons and some promotional art sometime switch it to the left eye, mostly to make it easier for the audience to recognise him.
235	* BreakoutMookCharacter: One of the many similar looking scientists, given a spotlight in ''Shorts'' and ''2'' as Barry's friend and assistant, and a playable character after an update.
236	* HazmatSuit: His scientist outfit is a regular Legitimate Research hazmat suit with a slightly broken visior.
237	* NotSoAboveItAll: Part of his Legitimate Training has him use a jetpack in the same way Barry, Betty and Robo-Barry do. He admits finding it fun and becomes understanding as to why Barry loves using it, but wants nobody else (including himself) to know about it.
238	* PromotedToPlayable: In ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', he's an NPC who explains how some mechanics work and is a StraightMan to the other characters. November 2023 update added a challenge mode, where Craig has to complete a legitimate training and is a playable character. Completing first 5 challenges in Legitimate Research allows to play as him outside of this mode, while completing subsequent challenges unlocks skins based on the scientists from other laboratories.
239	* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Barry's Red. Craig is calm and more down to earth, compared to Barry's impulsiveness and enthusiasm.
240	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Upon reaching Moon Tomb, Craig realizes that Barry got attention of Queen V, he decides to leave the scene. Notably, he does not appear again until Sector 6 and is OutOfFocus until Catacomb Sewers.
241	* SomeCallMeTim: His apparent official name is "Research Officer 283764", (2837655 in ''Shorts'') which Barry thinks is too long and decides to call him Craig instead, which the scientist adopts as his new name. He prefers it over his Officer name, which is at odds with his Legitimate Research colleagues, (including Professor Brains) who would rather use his old name instead.
242	* StraightMan: Plays this role to both Barry '''and''' Professor Brains, being somewhat of a no-nonsense HyperCompetentSidekick to them.
243	* SuperGullible: He doesn't have his own initiative, thus he is easily manipulated by everyone around him, to the point of being a frequent victim of FlawExploitation.
244	* UniformityException: Is distinguished from the rest of the Legitimate Research's staff by the crack on his helmet. The trope is also the reason why he doesn't repair it -- he wants to make sure Barry can easily recognize him from the other scientists.
245	* WildCard: Despite becoming friends with Barry, he still works for Professor Brains and even gives him tips on how to defeat the intruder. What really makes him this trope is that he himself isn't sure what side he's on, thanks to his extreme gullibility.
246	-->'''Brains''': What's happening here? Why are they getting so far?
247	-->'''Craig''': Don't worry Professor, the Elite Rocketeer has been just assembled!
248	-->'''Barry''': Hey Craig, are you helping me or are you my enemy?
249	-->'''Craig''': I wonder the same...

253	!!The Guardbots
254	When Brains and the scientists finally got fed up with Barry's continuous joyrides through their laboratory, they decided to build something that would actually help them protect the lab from uninvited guests. Guardbots were the result. They're the main obstacles of ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', and all themed to whomever runs their laboratory.
255	-----
256	* {{Airborne Mook}}s: All of them are capable of flight, and are seen in the air for 90% of their screentime.
257	* AnimalMecha:
258	** Arctic Industries has Triple Bots, who are based on penguins.
259	** Plenty of enemies in Moon Tomb are based on desert animals - beetles, cobras and scorpions.
260	** Catacomb Sewers has robots based on dragonflies and pufferfish.
261	* ConjoinedTwins: Elite Kamikaze Bot is made to resemble this, looking like two Kamikaze Bots sharing one body.
262	* CyberCyclops: Each Guardbot has only one eye.
263	* CyberNinja: One of the enemy bots envountered in Neontropolis is Ninja Bot. They are designed after shinobi and use shurikens as a shield.
264	* DualBoss: Sector 2 of Legitimate Research ends with a fight against two Elite Walkers.
265	* TheGoomba: Walker Bots, being the very first enemy with no gimmic to them other than slowly moving to the left side of the screen, and posing the least threat of all Guardbots.
266	* KingMook: Sectors 2, 4, 7 and 9 of each lab have you fight one of these. They are larger and tougher than the regular bots, though they're not much different otherwise.
267	* MechaMooks: All of them (with the exception of bubbles in Subterranean Labyrinth) are airborne mechanical robots set to defeat Barry.
268	* MookMaker: Dispenser Bots in Neontropolis stages. If not destroyed fast enough, they will deploy [[MiniMook smaller versions of themselves]] that fly into the player.
269	* RedEyesTakeWarning: The ones that use projectiles have their pupils briefly turn red before making a shot.
270	* SegmentedSerpent: Cobra Bots in Moon Tomb stages, being based on cobras. Even if their heads are destroyed, their segments are just as dangerous, and requre to be taken of seperately.
271	* UndergroundMonkey:
272	** Rocketeer Bots are an improved versions of earlier Guard Bots, being purple instead of orange and having a chance to fire indestructible red missile instead of usual blue one.
273	** As you progress Legitimate Research, you'll start facing Energizer Bots, blue robots with triangle-shaped heads that fire [[EnergyWeapon small energy balls]] forward. Later, in Subterranean Labyrinth, you fight "Aimed" versions of them. They are colored white and shoot projectiles directly where Barry is.

281	-----
282	* CoolShades: Driver wears sunglasses over his helmet. He is usually responsible for driving their vehicles.
283	* {{Leitmotif}}: Their boss battles are always accompanied by [[https://youtu.be/hcdxQqYdg9E Science Crew Assemble]].
284	* RecurringBoss: They are fought in the 5th Sector of every laboratory.
285	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: They are the group of scientists trying to defeat Barry by any means necessary. They avert the HarmlessEnemy trope used by almost every other scientist, though they are still quite comical characters.
286	* VaryingTacticsBoss: They use different vehicles each time you fight them, each themed to the lab they’re in. They driven a truck, a container, a bobsled, a chariot, a CombiningMecha, and a [[CoolChair sofa]].
287	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Dialogue prior of their fight in Catacomb Sewers reveals that they used to be friends with Craig, who now sees them as a hindrance and refuses to go by his Scientist codename.

295	->'''Voiced by:''' Connor Brannigan
296	A [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent Minotaur]] that knows no distinction between "labyrinth" and "a straight line". The leader of Subterranean Labyrinth and the second villain fought in ''Jetpack Joyride 2''.
297	-----
298	* DumbMuscle: Shown to be one of the largest villains in Brains' assemble, though not very smart one. His [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jetpackjoyride/images/a/a5/MinertaurBioJJ2.png/revision/latest?cb=20220810202842 bio]] for ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' states that "He's got big machinery, big muscles, not a very big brain."
299	* NoSenseOfDirection: He's bad at directions, which is one of the reasons why his "Labyrinth" is a straight line. When Betty meets him again in Moon Tomb, he doesn't know where the exit is and asks her for an exit, and "The Enchanted Pyramid" event shows that he is easily lost and can wonder around in the same place for hours.
300	* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: This one is a digger who built his "labyrinth" on his own.
301	* PunnyName: His name is a pun on "Miner" and "Minotaur", and he certainly qualifies as both.
302	* RammingAlwaysWorks: One of the attacks has him bulldoze his vehicle into the player.
303	* RedEyesTakeWarning: His dialogue icons show that his eyes turn red when angered.
304	* ThisIsADrill: Has a pair of drills attached to his arms, supposedly for mining. He's seen trying to attack Barry with them in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDGPsyiEswI a trailer]] for ''Jetpack Joyride The Series''.

312	Former boxer/sniper/cosmonaut and currently a mercenary from Eastern Europe. The leader of Arctic Industries and the third villain fought in ''Jetpack Joyride 2''.
313	-----
314	* AlliterativeName: '''M'''eltdown '''M'''ikhail, or just "'''M'''ik".
315	* CordonBleughChef: He can cook stew, which is a traditional family dish for him. However, he does this by using beef and mushrooms that were put into a nuclear reactor.
316	* CostumeEvolution: ''Shorts'' and beta builds of ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' depicted him with an ushanka, camo pants, gloves, a rocket on his back and what seems to be a pale shirt that makes it look like he [[NoShirtLongJacket doesn't wear anything underneath his jacket]]. He would later be redesigned with boxing gloves, a blue shirt and a warmer jacket with a hoodie.
317	* ExpressiveMask: Despite his whole face being obscured by a gas mask, he can express variety of emotions with his eyes.
318	* TheFaceless: Like the scientists, his face is hidden by the gas mask, and he is never seen without it. He justifies always wearing it due to a weird smell around his lab, which he implies is because they had a cauliflower on the menu.
319	* HarmlessFreezing: After being defeated, the map screen shows him being frozen in such way.
320	* HuskyRusskie: He's Russian, strong, and the tallest in Brains' ensemble. Of course, he's also a retired boxer and always wears boxing gloves.
321	* RedBoxingGloves: Mik already has association with boxing gloves, and the ones he wears, the giant ones he uses in his boss battle and the ones used by his Boxer Bots are all red.
322	* SequentialBoss: His boss battle consists of three phases. He starts using two giant boxing gloves to attack Barry. Once he loses a quarter of his full health, he will briefly flee away, but will force you to dodge floating shields. He then returns to fire ice missiles, and starts doing the first phase again once another quarter is depleted. The cycle starts over, but by the time player gets to a theoretical third repeat, Mik would run out of health.
323	* UnderestimatingBadassery: When you reach Sector 10 of his lab, Mik says that he didn't expect Barry to get this far, claiming that he doesn't look strong, handsome or intelligent enough. He is then defeated in a boss fight.
324	* VodkaDrunkenski: His original design had him wear what looked like a giant missile on his back, but in reality was just a large canteen. In open beta versions of ''Jetpack Joyride 2'', when Barry notes that this is another clich?, Mik angrily asks if he thought it's full of a vodka just because he's Russian, but quickly calms down and confirms that this is indeed what's inside. After a redesign, he stopped wearing it, the dialogue was changed, and it's ambiguous if this trait still applies to him.

332	An authentic goddess with Egyptian motif. The leader of Moon Tomb and the fourth villain fought in ''Jetpack Joyride 2''.
333	-----
334	* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: She's a supervillain with a bee-themed costume.
335	* TheDreaded: Craig calls her the most fearsome villain of them all, though it's debatable since she isn’t the last to be fought.
336	* MakerOfMonsters: ''Jetpack Joyride 2'' reveals that she helped Brains summon all the monsters Barry encountered in ''Monster Dash''.
337	* NephariousPharaoh: Is very clearly one, being a queen of her own lab, which is located inside a pyramid, and working for Really Bad Corp.
338	* PunnyName: Queen V is a wordplay on "Queen Bee", which is lampshaded by Barry in one of the dialogues.

348	* ArmCannon: Wears a pair of them on his wrists. He is seen using them in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS6HhDsCOPY Red Carpet Trailer]].
349	* DiscoDan: He has been compared to an 80s action figure, and the machinery he makes and uses is said to be rather old-fashioned. Barry and Betty make fun of him for this at any opportunity they have.
350	-->'''Red Photon''': It looks like these bots are defective. I will send a complaint by fax.
351	-->'''Barry''': What are you from the stone age?
352	-->'''Red Photon''': You are so rude! Now you will see the 2.0 version of the bot, kiddo!
353	* PoweredArmor: Wears a red and black armor that covers almost entirety of his body and gives him various advantages, such as floating and an ArmCannon.
354	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His armor is primarily red and black in color, very much resembling a typical {{Sentai}} hero, except this guy is not on good side whatsoever.
355	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: While it's not seen due to him never taking off his helmet, he tells Betty to give some respect to his grey hair after she mocks him for being more outdated than a cassette tape.

366	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Despite being an alien, she can freely talk to other humans with no issues.
367	* FinalBoss: After beating her, the game allows you to prestige and start again.
368	* HumanoidAliens: She has a humanoid shape with some mermaid features like EarFins and various alien elements, such as a green skin and yellow eyes.
369	* MarsNeedsWater: Nixie really likes water, and her hatred towards humans can be directly linked to it. According to the info Craig gives us, her primary goal is to raise mutants that would eventually come out of the Catacomb Sewers to start the rebellion, steal ocean water and take it to their home planet.
370	* PineappleRuinsPizza: She does not like pineapple pizza. So much, that she sees it as one of the worst things humanity is responsible for and a good reason to KillAllHumans.
371	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: {{Downplayed}}. While she is still a laughable and comical villain alongside other members of Really Bad Corp, her plans to steal all the Earth water make her the most dangerous villain even for Halfbrick Studios standards.

380	* GreaterScopeVillain: Or at least he used to be. In "Level 2" short, Barry finds out that he is the one Professor Brains and other Really Bad Corp members work for. Barry doesn't get to fight him, because Brains kills him off and takes his position as a RBC owner.
381	* SurroundedByIdiots: Doesn't think much of the other villains, claiming that working with them is a never-ending struggle. He almost ceases Legitimate Research, seeing it as a waste of budget.
