History VideoGame / AtlantisTheLostEmpire

* ActionGirl: Both Kida and Audrey are playable characters here, and on top of having very useful perks -- [[TeenGenius the former]] being able to repair/pilot complex machines and illuminate dark areas, and [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl the latter]] having the best jump in the game, as well as being able to walk among Atlantean Guards unnoticed and is one of only two characters who can use spells from the colored Crystals with her Atlantean Bolt Staff -- are more than capable of holding their own.

* DoubleJump: Kida can do this in the Game Boy Color game, also having both a WallJump and the highest jump of any of the playable characters.

* InASingleBound: In the [=PS1=] and Game Boy Color versions of the game, Kida has the best jumping ability of anyone. She can jump higher than the others in both, and in the latter, can also WallJump and DoubleJump.

* WallJump: Kida has these as her unique ability (along with a DoubleJump) in the Game Boy Color game.

Just before ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' came out on theaters, a game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, UsefulNotes/GameboyAdvance and UsefulNotes/GameboyColor based on the film was released. The game details Milo's journey to Atlantis, featuring [[BadassBookworm Milo]], [[DemolitionsExpert Vinny]], [[WrenchWench Audrey]], [[MoleMen Mole]] and [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl Kida]] as playable characters and having a particular emphasis on platforming -- with occasional vehicle sections involving a minisub, truck and Aktirak -- and ''Franchise/TombRaider''-style exploration and puzzle-solving, using the unique skills from each teammate at different points to progress.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Downplayed example. Certain hazards that should be immediately lethal -- namely, falling into lava or into bottomless pits, or getting pulled into a DeadlyRotaryFan -- respawn you back a certain distance with some health lost. Besides [[LifeMeter having all your health depleted]], the only dangers that will immediately take off a life are drowning[[note]]Except in the GBC version, which lasts less time but instead only causes health to drain when it runs out[[/note]], crashing a vehicle, or running out of fuel in "Truck Escape".

* {{FMV}}: Clips from the film are used as transitions between levels in the [=PlayStation=] version, and can be unlocked to watch at any time by [[SpellingBonus collecting all the ATLANTIS letters]] in the level it appeared.

* BladeOnAStick: Kida's Atlantean Bolt Staff, which serves as her primary weapon both up close and at a distance. She can use it to either physically whack enemies in melee range, or channel different kinds of powerful magic through it to attack from further away.

* {{Combos}}: Every playable character has a standard three-hit combo as their melee attack; two punches (or swings from a [[BladeOnAStick Bolt Staff]], in Kida's case), followed by either an uppercut (Milo), a shockwave-inducing ground punch (Vinny, Mole) or a kick (Audrey, Kida).

!!This video game provides examples of:

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Downplayed example. Certain hazards that should be immediately lethal -- namely, falling into lava or into bottomless pits, or getting pulled into a DeadlyRotaryFan -- respawn you back a certain distance with some health lost. Besides [[LifeMeter having all your health depleted]], the only dangers that will immediately take off a life are drowning, crashing a vehicle, or running out of fuel in "Truck Escape".

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Played straight, and then subverted. Audrey uses a FlareGun as her projectile attack in the [=PS1=] game -- although this ''is'' justified by her using it for both its intended purpose and as a weapon -- but Helga uses an actual handgun that fires bullets in her boss battle. Interestingly, both use the same model.

* {{FMV}}: Clips from the film are used as transitions between levels in the [=PlayStation=] version.

* InASingleBound: In the [=PS1=] and Game Boy Color versions of the game, Kida has the best jumping ability of anyone. She can jump higher than the others in both, and in the latter, can also do a handy WallJump.

* VariableMix: The level music muffles and distorts slightly when you swim underwater, as expected. For [[UnderTheSea Secret Swim]] in particular, you get an entirely new song that only plays when you're submerged.

* StandardStatusEffects: Certain enemies have attacks that can poison the player, which turns the red heart on their LifeMeter green and slowly saps away their health. The effect goes away on its own after several seconds, or by taking an Antivenin.

* {{Backtracking}}: This is needed to complete The Cove in the [=PS1=] game. The first time you do the level, you will be unable to complete it normally due to a missing piece for the driller being hidden behind a door, which requires two special gems to open. Said gems can be found in two branching paths that open up a level each; a Fire Gem in the [[LethalLavaLand Fire Trial]] (done by Milo, Vinny and Mole), and an Ice Gem in the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Ice Trial]] (by Milo and Audrey). Once you've got those, you must then return to The Cove, open the door with the gems, and retrieve the part that Audrey needs to get the driller running and complete the level itself.

-->'''Milo:''' It'd be a shame to lose your progress.
-->'''Milo:''' Good answer! I can see why you were chosen for this mission.
-->'''Milo:''' That's a good choice!

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Downplayed example. Certain hazards that should be immediately lethal -- namely, falling into lava or into bottomless pits -- respawn you back a certain distance with some health lost. Besides [[LifeMeter having all your health depleted]], the only dangers that will immediately take off a life are drowning, crashing a vehicle, or running out of fuel in "Truck Escape".

* BoulderBludgeon: In contrast to the dedicated weapons that his teammates use, Mole's projectile attack is to simply throw rocks. They're still effective enough against most threats, though

* IndyEscape: The last part of the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Ice Trial]] has Milo and Audrey fleeing from an enormous Atlantean Mammoth down a narrow, frozen passageway.

* CantDropTheHero: Despite there being five playable characters, Milo is the only one who you ''must'' play as at some point in every mission; including the vehicle-based ones.

* BladeOnAStick: Kida's Atlantean Bolt Staff, which serves as her primary weapon both up close and at a distance. She can use it to either physically whack enemies in melee range, or channel powerful magic through it to attack from further away.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: The smallest health-restoring items are tins of food (the others being small and large Medikits), which instantly take effect upon consumption.

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Vinny, [[DemolitionsExpert naturally]]. He can throw a seemingly-unlimited number of hand grenades for his projectile attack, and use Detpacks to blow up certain parts of levels and create paths forward.

* {{Hammerspace}}: When Kida enters water deep enough for her to swim in, her Bolt Staff instantly disappears from her hand. It'll then reappear just as quickly as soon as she gets out.

* BladeOnAStick: Kida's Atlantean Bolt Staff, which serves as her primary weapon both up close and at a distance. She can use it to either physically whack enemies in melee range, or channel powerful magic through it from further away.

* GrenadeSpam: Vinny can throw an unlimited amount of powerful Hand Grenades for his ranged attack.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: The smallest health-restoring items are tins of food, which instantly take effect upon consumption.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Zig-zagged. While you can carry an unlimited number of colored Atlantean Crystals and never have to worry about ammunition for the most part, you can only hold up to ten of every other item. If you try to pick another one up while already holding that many, your character will acknowledge they can't carry another and leave it.

* IndyEscape: The last part of the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Ice Trial]] has Milo and Audrey fleeing from an enormous Atlantean Mammoth down a narrow passageway.
* KickChick: Downplayed. Audrey and Kida both use kicks as the endings of their [[GoodOldFisticuffs three-hit combo attacks]], and are the only playable characters who do so.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite his gangly GeekPhysique, Milo is one of only two characters (alongside the bigger Vinny) who can push and pull heavy objects in the [=PS1=] game, and is the only one besides Kida who can climb rough walls.

* TunnelKing: Fittingly, Mole is the only character who can dig through certain floors to get to certain points.

* ActionGirl: Both Kida and Audrey are playable characters here, and on top of having very useful perks -- [[TeenGenius the former]] being able to repair/pilot complex machines and illuminate dark areas, and [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl the latter]] having the best jump in the game, as well as being able to walk among Atlantean Guards unnoticed fight well both close and at a distance with her Atlantean Bolt Staff -- are more than capable of holding their own.

* BladeOnAStick: Kida's Atlantean Bolt Staff, which serves as her primary weapon both up-close and at a distance. She can use it to either physically whack enemies up-close, or channel powerful magic through it at a distance.

* AllThereInTheManual: Some of the game can be this compared to the original film.
* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: Clips from the film are reused but re-recorded with the voice doubles from the game.
* {{FMV}}: Clips from the film are used as transitions between levels.
* ForcedTutorial: The first level has Preston Whitmore teach Milo the controls.

* SpellingBonus: The levels can have the player collect the Atlantean letters A, T, L, A, N, T, I and S to form "Atlantis".
