** Oddly enough, the 1999 VideoGameRemake actually gives its own explanation on the game that utilizes a mixture of the first three stories: you play as a gnome (or gnome-like, the race is known as the Wee) kid who is picked by a wizard to pilot a Magitek tank to defend their kingdoms from the invading bugs, who are led by centipedes, and eventually travel into the bug's own land to kill their leader who is an [[UpToEleven even bigger centipede]].

* NoPlotNoProblem: Hasn't stopped many, ''many'' ports of it from trying to give it a plot. They had a variety of backstories, but the most commonly used were:
** You're a SpaceMarine fighting in a BugWar.
** You're a garden gnome trying to defend the garden from pests.
** You're a traveling wizard who gets lost in the "perilous Enchanted Forest" full of monsters led by a Centipede and has to fight his way out. This is the most common variation, with all home ports of ''Millipede'' recycling this plot, just replacing "Wizard" with "Archer" ([[https://archive.org/stream/NintendoGameBoyManuals/Arcade%20Classic%20No.%202%20-%20Centipede%20%26%20Millipede%20%28USA%2C%20Europe%29#page/n3/mode/2up see here]]).

Threatening thumps and evil buzzings fill the air. Something slimy flashes through the mushrooms, closing in on you. Suddenly, glaring eyes and quivering antenna jump right out at you!''
