* HoverBoots: Ratchet uses a pair of hoverboots to speed around and jump off ramps

* MagikarpPower: If you stick with the Combuster until Level 3, it gets a [[SpreadShot spread shot]] that makes it more effective. Once it gets to Level 5, it'll have a fire rate and damage that allows you to decimate pretty much anything at close range.

* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/RatchetAndClank ]]

* WeatherControlMachine: Qwark used one for his presidential events [[spoiler: and Zurgo later uses it to cover Balkai in a snowstorm]].

* ShoutOut:
** The very first line is a rather obvious one to Franchise/StarTrek.
--->'''Qwark:''' Captain's log. Stardate... uh, let's call it Wednesday.
** [[spoiler: When the Starship Phoenix II gets hacked, what plays over the speakers? The Trololo song.]]
** The final boss's Groovitron dances are from [[Music/{{PSY}} Gangnam Style]].

* NumongousMecha: It doesn't rival most anime examples, but if a Grungarian Tank enters your base, it will attack your generators by turning into a robot that stands taller than the tank and shooting at the generators.

* TheCameo[=/=]ContinuityNod: Several supporting characters and villains from the series return... as multiplayer skins.
* ContinuityNod: The arsenal consists almost solely of weapons introduced in previous titles-- mostly ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Tools of Destruction]]'', ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack in Time]],'' and ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankAll4One All 4 One]]''-- like the Buzz Blades, Groovitron, and Thundersmack.
** Giant Clank also makes a reappearance for the first time since SecretAgentClank.

* ShoutOut: The very first line is a rather obvious one to Franchise/StarTrek.
--> '''Qwark:''' Captain's log. Stardate... uh, let's call it Wednesday.

** [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus Into the Nexus]] states that he survived with several broken bones. He was sentenced to 50 years of house arrest with his mother Lucille.]]

* ItsPersonal: The BigBad is, in fact, [[spoiler: Stuart Zurgo, otherwise known as the Qwark Fanboy from [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]. His motive is actually [[NotSoDifferent very similar to Ratchet's response to]] [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank the first game's]] [[TheReveal reveal]] about [[FakeUltimateHero Qwark]].]]

* RealMenWearPink: At one point in the trailer, Qwark is shown wearing a fluffy pink bathrobe. On top of his regular costume.

The ninth (canon) game in the VideoGame/RatchetAndClank series and second downloadable title, celebrating the series' tenth anniversary. Much like [[RatchetAndClankAll4One its predecessor]], it can be played solo or [[CoOpMultiplayer with a friend]]. Though advertised as going back to the core gameplay, a new twist has been added in the form of TowerDefense elements. The plot centers around a series of [[ContinuityNod Planetary]] [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Defense Centers]] across the galaxy that have been breached by a terrible [[ChekhovsGunman foe from the]] [[CallBack series' past]], putting said galaxy-- and its inhabitants-- in danger.
