Added DiffLines:

* SceneryPorn: While it's actually the previous game which made the switch to VGA, it still had many remnants of EGA graphics and placeholder backgrounds in it. This game, however, takes full advantage of the new color system and shows an illustrious resort in which all backgrounds feel complete, and the high-resolution SVGA version take this UpToEleven.

* CeilingSmash: Larry can get punched by Cavaricchi so hard that he hits the ceiling and gets impaled by something on it.


Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: When compared to ''Larry 5''. That predecessor tried to have a somewhat serious spy plot, this game goes back to the series roots, featuring Larry just having fun at a spa and chasing after women. While this game does bring back the death feature, those are ultimately inconsequential.


Added DiffLines:

* SelfAbuse: Larry's attempts at beating off are this, as he possesses no self-control and goes blind from it, naturally resulting in a game over.

* SoftWater: Averted. After jumping from the diving tower which is really tall, Larry hits the water incredibly hard and shouts from the pain.

Some time after the previous game, Larry is picked to be a contestant on the dating game ''Stallions''. Naturally, he flubs it and ends up losing. Fortunately for him, the runner up wins a some-expenses paid trip to La Costa Lotta, a
tropical health spa and resort. Seeing that the place is full of women, Larry resumes his woman-chasing ways once more.

Added DiffLines:

The game runs on the SCI 1 engine. Larry's movements are controlled with a point-and-click interface. Graphics use VGA again to make more elaborate sprites and detailed pictures of women, even if the colors are a bit garish. Deaths were brought back, though they can very easily be undone.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: If Larry goes to the mud bath still wearing his leisure suit, it melts and the narrator says La Costa Lotta keeps the temperature of their mud baths slightly higher than the melting point of polyester. He can survive if he takes it off before bathing, though. The melting point of polyester is somewhere around 482 degrees Farenheit or 250 degrees Celsius. No human, wearing a leisure suit or not, could survive bathing in such a temperature.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: [[spoiler:The dark-skinned makeup artist Shablee turns out to be a cross-dresser/transvestite (according to documentation/development notes), still sporting a sizable phallus.]] As Larry learns the truth only after some passionate kissing, his immediate after-the-reveal reaction is to recoil and start spitting and gagging. The next morning's shot shows him in his room rinsing furiously.
