History VideoGame / AGameWithAKitty2DarksideAdventures

* AllThereInTheScript: None of the {{Mooks}} and two of the bosses have their names shown in-game as part of an EnemyRollCall or anything. Digging into the files, it's possible to discover the internal names of not only them, but also the official titles of each music present in the game's soundtrack.

** The two bosses without a name, those being the talking axe and the giant block in Aurora Secret, are known as [[PunnyName Hackman]] and [[ShapedLikeItself Blocky Boss]].

* CallingYourAttacks: The first boss, which is a giant talking axe, and Glasses, the second one, both do this for all of their attacks. Notably, they're the only ones to do this.

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: Obtained by collecting the Golden Egg in [[BrutalBonusLevel Dimension X]], which requires at least 85% completion to access. Defeating the final boss again after this will result in a slightly altered ending, where the arch-chancellor ditches the Imp King to buy a new castle all for himself, while Princess Daphodil and the Imp King loudly proclaim that they'll make lots of babies as a result, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments all while the arch-chancellor's still within earshot, resulting in him cringing at the thought.]]]]

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Almost every boss aside from the first one has at least one move that leaves them wide open for attacks. They'd be unbeatable otherwise. Special mention goes to Glasses' mech, which can only be damaged during one of its attacks, namely one where it shoots fireballs from the horizontal cannons sandwiched between its two halves.

* WarmUpBoss: Both the giant talking axe in world 1 and Glasses in world 3 serve as this, as they both have heavily telegraphed attacks via CallingYourAttacks, unlike all bosses after.

** The tiny bird is called Pengu Guy, the rocks with sunglasses are called Mr Stone, the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Sniffit]] {{Expy}} is called Mr Shoot, the fish are called Fish Guy. You seeing a pattern yet? A few enemies stand out, like the [[UnfortunateNames Spanky Plant]] and Jump/Puff Bear enemies from Faraway Star.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The arch-chancellor has dark blue skin, Princess Daphodil has red skin, and the wizard Horatio has as his [[TheDragon dragon]] has pure white skin.

** In levels he appears in, Horatio's wizard companion can sometimes spawn little bird enemies instead of spiked balls of varying sizes.

* NiceHat: Several characters wear them, from TheHero, to the BigBad, to a freakin' ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext giant, sentient, German-accented axe.]]''

* DramaticDisappearingDisplay: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] for the FinalBoss, where after the battle begins, a new element is added to the [[HeadsUpDisplay HUD]]: A percentage based LifeMeter held by a little cherub]], indicating the boss' HP. Notably, it's the only boss in the game to have it. [[spoiler:It's because there's ways to deal extra damage to it, which involve throwing the Heart of the Universe's teddy bear into its mouth, with [[KillItWithFire setting it on fire]] and then throwing it dealing the most damage to the boss.]]

** To get the other HeartContainer in the game, you must obtain 1800 gems [[spoiler:and find the cash gate in the second half of [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Faraway Star]] so you can open it]].

* HeroicNeutral: The arch-chancellor ''really'' doesn't want to keep risking his life to save the universe, be has to do it anyway. He just wants to take a nice vacation on the countryside.

* BigBad: [[EvilChancellor Captain]] [[BearsAreBadNews Horatio.]] This is established right from the title screen intro, with him plotting to overthrow the Imp King by obtaining the power source located in a star far away.

* PlotCoupon:
** In order to access world 4 proper, you need to get at least 800 gems, or 15 big gems.
** In order to be able to enter the final level of the game, you need to collect one of the following: The Holy Book of Beeble, located in the Hidden Holy Hills (in world 1), or the Magic Lamp, located in The Nothing (in world 3), both of which are technically secret levels.

** [[spoiler:Horatio himself isn't fought. You do fight his shadow clone as the end, though.]]

* CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:Horatio plans on using the wormhole located in Faraway Star to create an army of shadow teddy bears to take over the universe. As a last ditch effort, he ends up creating a [[CloningBlues giant shadow clone of himself]], who serves as the final boss.]]

* PlotCoupon: Two of them: The Holy Book of Beeble, located in the Hidden Holy Hills, and the Magic Lamp, located in The Nothing. While both are technically hidden in secret levels, you need to obtain at least one of them in order to access the final level.
** Also, in order to access world 4 proper, you need to get at least 800 gems, or 15 big gems.

* MookMaker: Most of the bosses have the ability to summon mooks.

* {{Nerf}}: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] with the running ability. On one hand, running jumps aren't nearly as potent as the ones in the original game, while on the other, it takes considerably less time to reach full speed.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero / NiceJobFixingItVillain: A bizarre example occurs during the final battle. [[spoiler: After an awkward back and forth between the arch-chancellor and Horatio, the latter asks the former to push a button in the machine he's standing on in order to create a shadow clone of himself, and make the situation less awkward. He complies with his request, for no real reason, resulting in a hulked shadow clone of Horatio coming to existence. Despite this, Horatio himself is nowhere to be seen after its creation. The post-credits scene shows that he was banished to another dimension, meaning that the arch-chancellor accidentally made the right choice by fulfilling his request.]]

* TheUnfought: Despite being built up to be the level's boss, the mysterious man in a hovercraft in the Hidden Holy Hills stage isn't actually fought, unlike the JackassGenie in The Nothing, making obtaining the [[MacGuffin Holy Book of Beeble]] rather anticlimatic.

* TurnsRed: The boss of Aurora Secret grows in size the more damage it takes. It also starts out spitting huge spike balls instead of regular ones.

* WallRun / WallJump: A PowerUp obtained halfway through the game allows you to run up walls for a short period of time. Later levels will test your ability to chain wall runs between walls.

* {{Expy}}: Horatio's [[TheDragon wizard companion]] serves a very similar role to that of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Magikoopas]] during levels, namely [[MookMaker creating mooks]] and destroying parts of the scenery so that you can advance through the level.

* WalkDontSwim: Averted, unlike in the first game. You have to rely on projectile stars in order to harm enemies when underwater.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Hidden Holy Hills secret level in world 1.

''Darkside Adventures'' is a NonLinearSequel to the [[VideoGame/AGameWithAKitty1 first game]] of the ''VideoGame/AGameWithAKitty'' by Creator/{{Bernie}}. While the gameplay remains relatively the same, Kittey is nowhere to be seen. This wouldn't be the last time the series would feature protagonists who aren't Kittey.

** [[spoiler:One room in the final level has horizontal wind currents so strong that, if you stay in the air for too long, you'll be flung offscreen, potentially all the way down to the beginning of the room.]]

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The Arch-Chancellor has dark blue skin, Princess Daphodil has red skin, and the wizard Horatio has as his [[TheDragon dragon]] has pure white skin.

* BadassBookworm: [[TheHero The Arch-Chancelor]] would rather read his book in peace than go on a quest to save the universe. Still doesn't stop him from fighting when necessary, though.

* BookEnds: The title screen cutscene has a flurry of bottle rockets being fired at one point. Guess what happens again during the ending cutscene? Even the characters' reactions to the rockets are the same (said characters being Horatio and the Arch-Chancellor, respectively).

* BraggingRightsReward: [[spoiler: Achieving OneHundredPercentCompletion only nets you a slightly altered ending, and an infinite supply of stars.]]

* HeroicNeutral: The Arch-Chancellor ''really'' doesn't want to keep risking his life to save the universe, be has to do it anyway. He just wants to take a nice vacation on the countryside.

* NotSoAboveItAll: While the Arch-Chancellor spends most of his time [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] and snarking about game mechanics and PowerUps obtained, the moment he gains the ability to WallRun, he's genuinely excited at the thought of being able to do it.

* TheComicallySerious: The Arch-Chancellor. He's a PerpetualFrowner, a DeadpanSnarker, and believes to be surrounded by nutcases. He also runs around only in pyjamas.

* WallRun: A PowerUp obtained halfway through the game allows you to run up walls for a short period of time. Later levels will test your ability to chain wall runs between walls.

* BigBad: [[EvilChancellor Captain]] [[BearsAreBadNews Horatio.]] This is established right from the title screen intro, with him plotting to simply overthrow the Imp King, [[spoiler:at first]].

* DoubleJump: A PowerUp that's [[EleventhHourSuperPower obtained in the final level]] [[spoiler and is only available in said level, alongside a ''triple'' jump PowerUp]]. Said level also gives you a sentient star companion that allows you to jump on top of them to reach higher places, at the cost of a star, [[spoiler:potentially allowing you to perform a ''[[SerialEscalation quadruple or quintuple jump.]]'' This is also only available for that level]]

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Combined with SpellMyNameWithAThe, everyone only refers to the player character as the Arch-Chancellor.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Every boss aside from the first one has at least one move that leaves them wide open for attacks. They'd be unbeatable otherwise. Special mention goes to Glasses' mech, which can only be damage once it shoots fireballs from the horizontal cannons sandwiched between its two halves.

* Retraux: The graphics and the music are done in that style, just like the first game.

->'''Game Over'''

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: [[spoiler: The final boss has an attack where it [[EyeScream shoots several eyeballs that bounce on the floor.]] Where do the eyes come from? Why, from a big eye located right below his helmet, of course!]]

* JackassGenie: One of the secret levels has a genie living inside of a green lamp, who's constantly referred to as a ''demon'' by signs located throughout. You [[KillItWithFire throw the lamp into lava]], thus making him [[BerserkButton very mad]] in the process. Cue boss battle.

* TheComicallySerious: The Arch-Chancellor. He's a PerpetualFrowner, a DeadpanSnarker, and believes to be surrounded by nutcases.

''[[http://www.origamihero.com/ori6/games.php A Game with a Kitty 2: Darkside Adventures]]'' (or simply ''Darkside Adventures'') tells the riveting tale of an arch-chancellor trying to retrieve Princess Daphodil's magical crown, gaining new powers along the way, and eventually escalating into a quest to [[SavingTheWorld save the universe.]]

''Darkside Adventures'' is a NonLinearSequel to the [[VideoGame/AGameWithAKitty first game]]. While the gameplay remains relatively the same, Kittey is nowhere to be seen. This wouldn't be the last time the series would feature protagonists that aren't Kittey.

* HeartContainer: There are a total of two of them in the entire game. One can be obtained in the last world 1 level, [[while the other one can only be obtained in the final level, and only if you reach 1800 gems.]]
