History VideoGame / AdventureTime

The second, ''Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW!'' ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer yes, it's really titled like that]]), was a major console release, being distributed for ''UsefulNotes/Playstation3'', ''UsefulNotes/XBox360'', ''UsefulNotes/WiiU'' and the [=3DS=]. Once again Creator/PendletonWard wrote the story. Unlike the last game, this is more of a top-down [[DungeonCrawling dungeon crawler]] ala ''{{VideoGame/Gauntlet}}'' and allows four player co-op. You can now play as Finn, Jake, Marceline, Cinnamon Bun, Lumpy Space Princess, Ice King, Flame Princess, The Earl of Lemongrab, Peppermint Butler and the King of Mars (the last three via DLC). The plot this time out has Bubblegum calling the selected character to go explore a dungeon beneath Ooo as prisoners have somehow been escaping from it when it's supposed to be inescapable. So she sends you down there to check it out because, in her own words, "I don't know."

* {{Metroidvania}}: The game is pretty much VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink with Adventure Time characters.

* ActionGirl: Marceline and Flame Princess. Lumpy Space Princess...not so much.

!! These games provide examples of the following tropes:

* BossSubtitles: Parodied, much like in VideoGame/{{Shantae}}, another [=WayForward=] franchise. For example, the Ice King is labeled "Complicated Jerk".

The first, ''Adventure Time: [[LongTitle Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!]]'' is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo DS and [=3DS=] with a story by series creator Creator/PendletonWard. Finn and Jake awaken from a crazy dream involving the Cosmic Owl to find that the Ice King has made off with their garbage for some sinister purpose. Not just their garbage, in fact, but garbage from people all across the Land of Ooo. Our dauntless adventurers must journey from kingdom to kingdom, fighting weird monsters and learning new abilities in order to get their stuff back and get to the bottom of the Ice King's latest evil scheme.

* BossSubtitles: Parodied; much like in VideoGame/{{Shantae}}, another [=WayForward=] franchise. For example, the Ice King is labeled "Complicated Jerk".

* FakeBalance: Marceline seems to be this. She has the lowest starting HP and attack power, can't block any physical attacks, and doesn't gain Imagination by hitting enemies, but by eating red food items or absorbing red projectiles. On the flip side, her charge attack charges the fastest, her Imagination move is the only one of the starting four characters that always does damage, she can move while absorbing projectiles, and oh yeah, ''most of the enemies'' in the game fire red projectiles, making it perfectly feasible to just float around dodging physical attacks to power up her Imagination attack. Flame Princess gets hit with the other end of the stick; in the cartoon, she's one of the most powerful characters in the world. In the game, she only has one token slot, which greatly limits her effectiveness.

* AnAxeToGrind: Marceline's weapon, here colored more pink than red for some reason. There's also an axe subweapon that starts showing up after Level 40.

** When Finn and Jake enter the Candy Kingdom, they have to find out who stole Princess Bubblegum's pantyhose. [[spoiler: It was the Ice King as part of his game with the heroes]]. Most outrageous are the quotes one gets from interrogating a few [=NPCs=]:
*** Talking to the Candy Cane Man will have him reply with "I'm a meat and potatoes kind of man. [[TestosteronePoisoning I like baseball, truck-driving, and spitting.]] [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday I have no interest in pantyhose]]."
*** Asking the Marshmallow Kid will make him [[WhatTheHellHero call Finn out for accusing a child of stealing pantyhose]] and claiming that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he would have lived a normal life]] had he not been asked about ladies' underwear.
*** If Finn asks Lollipop Girl, she says she cannot because she's too skinny, Finn blushes.

** Nightmare Princess: [[spoiler:The true ending. Nightmare Princess promises to be a great leader without banishing her sisters and welcoming any adventurer in their quest. Cue the post-credits where Princess Bubblegum reveals what kind of bad stuff could happen if Nightmare Princess was chosen as the leader to Finn, since she's a Wish Master.]]

** Finn says in the beginning that he's not emotionally ready for another experience with [[Recap/AdventureTimeS6E43TheComet a comet.]]
* Interquel: Set between the episodes "Seventeen" and "Gumbaldia". However, the game isn't considered part of the official canon by the developers, making it a "side story."

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Fern frees Gumbald and Chicle from the Candy Kingdom's dungeom, with Gumbald declaring to Bubblegum that [[Recap/AdventureTimeS9E12Gumbaldia it's not over yet.]]]]
* ShoutOut: The entire game was inspired by ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''. Even the developers admitted it.
