1* FridgeHorror: This one sentence from Emperor Zizzy:
2-->Oh, I had to ''let you win'' a few...
3** In other words, if he really went all out, the protagonist trio would have no chance of even striking back. He could've effortlessly obliterated the Earth, he just chose not to.
4* MagnificentBastard:
5** [[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 [[FridgeHorror allows the heroes to win]] a few battles just to [[ItAmusedMe amuse himself]], never ever caring for all his troops, who die a meaningless death. 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 [[NightMareFuel he didn't take the fight seriously]], Emperor manages to [[DeathIsDramatic die dramatically]] as he wishes, never losing his jovial side.
6** [[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.
7* SequelDifficultySpike: this game is far more difficult, far more frustrating than its predecessor.
8* SequelDisplacement: [[{{VideoGame/MDK}} The original]] has not garnered as much attention as this one. 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).
9* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OYVM6gHExM Main Theme]] sounds like very much [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X6BeszEXm4 Leave You Far Behind]] by ''Lunatic Calm''.
