1 | * CultClassic: Despite having some of the most simple and shallow gameplay ever programmed, ''Panic!'' maintains a small following because of how uniquely and unremittingly ''weird'' it is. |
2 | * HarsherInHindsight: Two of the booby-trapped switches feature downtown Manhattan getting nuked and the Empire State Building collapsing into rubble, while another shows a jumbo jet blowing apart in midair. ''Yeeeeah'', turns out exploding national landmarks aren't quite as humorous anymore. The [=PS2=] re-release changed it to having said landmarks spew diarrhea instead. |
3 | * NightmareFuel: For a game as cartoony as this, there are a surprising amount of scary moments to be found. |
4 | ** Some rooms have rather unnerving music cues that play, [[NothingIsScarier even in rooms that don't have anything particularly unsettling in them.]] |
5 | *** The Lab Scenario has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iupnh7W9RJ4 this]] out of place piece. |
6 | *** The monolith rooms can also have some fairly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc2AZnIlq0I nightmarish music.]] |
7 | ** Some of the gags can have rather disturbing results such as: |
8 | *** The ''[[Art/TheMonaLisa Mona Lisa]]'' room has two buttons that cause her to transform into a werewolf and a Medusa that turns Slap into stone. |
9 | *** The hallway room has a button that when pressed shows a scene of a bizarre looking creature with a long nose and long appendages to hop across a black screen. |
10 | *** As mentioned earlier, if the player fails to press the correct buttons you get the bad ending where all the world landmarks explode and it’s game over. |
11 | * {{Squick}}: Aside from the many barfing objects, there's plenty: |
12 | ** The Potions Scenario where Slap and Stick sprout breasts all over their body. |
13 | ** The robot pig that drenches Slap with milk spewed from its nipples. |
14 | ** In the Falling Scenario, one of the buttons the player can press causes a bunch of human organs to spill out of the parachute. |
15 | * QuirkyWork: ''Yep.'' This game did Creator/AdultSwim-style non sequitur humor back when Cartoon Network was just an itch in Ted Turner's pants, and ''none of it'' makes sense. |
16 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The background music in some rooms sound very close to [[PublicDomainSoundtrack various orchestral pieces from the public domain]]. A notable example would be the monolith rooms, where you can clearly hear an excerpt from Dies Irae. |
17 | * ThatOneLevel: Level 06-G (The "Free Fall" scenario). It's not any harder than any other levels, obviously, but you're repeatedly subjected to Slap's nails-on-a-chalkboard "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" scream until you can find the right switches to warp yourself out. |
