History VideoGame / PinkPantherPassportToPeril

* The "disguises" Pug and Louie don when hijacking Pink's plane to India resemble the outfits of the Native American chief and the construction worker from Music/TheVillagePeople.

* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: The beginning of the game is the only time when you'll see the real [[spoiler:Von Schmarty and the kids attending the camp, as they're all quickly replaced by robot duplicates by the BCB, and aren't seen again until the game's very end]].

''WesternAnimation/PinkPanther's Passport to Peril'' is a 1996 [[EdutainmentGame Edutainment]] AdventureGame from Wanderlust Interactive based on the 1993 iteration of the cartoon.

* LampshadeHanging: The Taj Mahal Song being an oddly serious and emotionally wrought ballad in contrast to the other countries getting fairly cheesy music is acknowledged with Pink nearly being in tears when it cuts back to the game and declaring "that was beautiful"

* SurprisinglyMovingSong: In India, Pink (and thus the player) is treated to a song about the history of the Taj Mahal and Shah Jahan, the emperor who built it for his wife who died from complications of childbirth. With lyrics like "And this emperor couldn't stop his tears / the news confirmed his darkest fears" and "three hundred years have passed somehow / two lovers lie together now", it's hard not to tear up. Pink himself is on the verge of tears when the song ends.

** The camp owner and a Bollywood star in India are modeled after Little Man from the original cartoon shorts. Bonus points for the fact that [[spoiler:the Little Man is the main antagonist of Pink Panther in the animated shorts, and the camp owner turns out to be a villain due to being in cahoots with the Better Camping Bureau.]]

* OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam: the cup of coffee that is part of Pink's ChainOfDeals in Egypt is lukewarm. The first two people Pink gives it to hand it back to Pink for that precise reason, but Mouth, the last one to get the coffee, actually likes his coffee lukewarm.

* OffModel: After [[spoiler:Pink frees the real children]], during the final song and the closing segment, all the campers (minus the ThoseTwoGuys) have switched clothes with each other.

* SurprisinglyMovingSong: The song about the history of the Taj Mahal. Pink is on the verge of crying himself once the song ends.

* CriticalResearchFailure: InUniverse. Indrani, the camper from India, tells Pink that she forgot to place marigolds on her grandfather's grave before leaving for camp and seeing that Pink is not that far from India (at this point, Pink's in China), she asks him to stop by the Hindu graveyard he's buried in and place the flowers for her. It's not until he gets to her hometown of Varanasi that he is told by a local that there are no Hindu graveyards in Varanasi. The Ganges River is where people are "buried", not in a graveyard. Pink wonders why Indrani wouldn’t know such a crucial fact about her own culture. [[spoiler: Turns out the robotic doppelgangers aren't as smart as their real life counterparts.]]

* [[SeldomSeenSpecies Seldom Seen Country]]: While en route to India, Pug and Louie hijack the plane Pink's on, forcing Pink to parachute into Bhutan, a country that is rarely seen or mentioned in any form of media outside of the Olympics.

* CrapsackWorld: [[spoiler: With each return to camp, the state it's in gets worse and worse. Dead fish and trash bob in the lake, the skies are gray and eerie, everyone's fighting, and the camp director becomes more and more delirious, not to mention he's now got a black eye and appears to be missing a few teeth. Goes UpToEleven upon your final return to camp; the skies are now dark, the robots have taken over everything, the lake is now filled with mud, and a Dog Burger flag now flies where the Chilly Wa-Wa flag once flew.]]

* UpToEleven: Before giving the Pogo Shoes to Louie for “testing”, Von Schmarty turns their dial all the way to the maximum setting (represented by a skull and crossbones).

** Pink encounters a much friendlier crocodile in Australia. [[spoiler: It's actually Kumoken's spirit, transformed into his totem animal to escape, and warn his father, and Pink, that the camp is in even more trouble than we had previously thought. Pink receives this message and immediately heads back to save the day.]]
