History VideoGame / Shrek2

** One task in Jack & Jill's farm is a quick multiplayer minigame involving collecting eggs by moving back and forth.

** While Gingy was a recurring character in both movies, he wasn't relevant to the story until the point where the fairy-tale creatures all had to band together to break Shrek, Donkey and Puss out of prison. By virtue of the team system requiring four characters at all times, he takes on a much more active role as the fourth member of the group, tagging along at both the swamp and the journey to the potion factory along with his canon role.

** Shrek, Donkey and Fiona don't immediately make it to Far Far Away; in the game, they briefly took a detour though a haunted forest after a run-in with a witch led to their horses turning back into mice.
** Rather than simply sneaking into the potion factory, Shrek, Donkey and Puss instead make a detour to Jack & Jill's Farm to intercept a package scheduled to be delivered to the factory.
** The fairytale creatures' journey to break Shrek and Donkey out of prison makes up a full level. In the movie, the scene cut to them immediately at Shrek, Donkey, and Puss' cell.
** Shrek, Donkey and the fairy tale creatures don't immediately go to the Muffin Man's, as they have to take a shortcut through a set of mountain mines first.

* TurtlePower: Shrek's Swamp features turtles as enemies. They take two hits to defeat, but are otherwise very weak and can be rendered [[FlippingHelpless helpless]] if flipped on their back.

** One of Shrek's lines upon hitting an enemy is "Ogre smash!", likely referencing the {{Catchphrase}} of the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk; "Hulk smash!"

* AdaptationDeviation: The final battle with the Fairy Godmother is modified from the movie. In the movie, Shrek and Donkey fought her while still in their human/stallion forms, and only reverted back to their original forms after she was defeated. In the movie, the battle with the Godmother happens ''after'' Shrek, Donkey and Fiona revert back to their original forms.

** Final Fight has Shrek, Donkey, Fiona and Puss go up against the [[FinalBoss Fairy Godmother]] and her army of enemies from across the entire game.

* PragmaticAdaptation: The game's events are translated relatively well, but with some tweaks in order to ensure four players are always able to play. Some of the more major changes include adding the Gingerbread Man and Lil' Red into certain scenes they weren't present for in the movie, cutting out most of Fiona's subplot to put more focus on Shrek and Donkey's journey, and additional areas such as a haunted forest and Jack and Jill's farm (the former appearing to have been transplanted in from ''WesternAnimation/ShrekFourD'') were added to stop the game being too short.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: The Fairy Godmother [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/shrek/images/8/89/Fairygodmothergame.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20160819220859&format=original looks somewhat different]] from her movie incarnation: her dress is pink, she's noticeably older, and she's missing her earrings, among other oddities. This could be said for all other characters that appeared in the movie, due to the game's graphical limitations.

* AdaptedOut: Pinocchio is completely omitted from the fairy tale creatures' prison break, with both Lil' Red and Fairy taking his place in the group.

* BubblegloopSwamp: The first level in the game is Shrek’s swamp. The character have to collect snail eyes, battle a variety of creepy crawlies and evade alligators.

* FlunkyBoss: The giant spiders have eggsacs that endlessly make spiders until you destroy the eggsac.

* BubblegloopSwamp: The first level in the game is Shrek’s swamp. The character have to collect snail eyes, battle a cigarette of creepy crawlies and evade alligators

** Donkey: Burro Blast - Donkey launches a powerful kick that can knock enemies away and break locks.

** At the end of Spooky Forest, Dragon and Donkey have to save Fiona from being taken away by witches.

** There's one section in Spooky Forest where Shrek can endlessly throw the Blind Mice into a waterfall, killing them instantly. Letting the mice die results in an instant trip back to the last checkpoint, but fortunately, the developers were kind enough to put a checkpoint right at the waterfall area, letting you kill them as many times as you see fit.

* SecretArt: Each character has an exclusive ability only they can use:
** Shrek: Ogre Lifting - Shrek can pick up stunned enemies and specific objects and throw them.
** Fiona: [[SloMo Stop Time]] - Fiona can slow down time for everything except herself.
** Donkey: Burro Blast - Donkey launches a powerful kick that can knock enemies away and break locks.
** Gingy: Cookie - Gingy throws a cookie that attracts enemies.
** Lil' Red: Rotten Apple Bomb - Red throws an explosive apple that deals heavy damage to enemies when it explodes.
** Puss in Boots: Tightrope Walking - Puss can walk on chains and tightropes too narrow for anyone else.
** Big Bad Wolf: Huff 'N Puff - Wolf exhales a powerful gust of air capable of blowing enemies away, extinguishing fires and activating machinery.
** Fairy: Fairy Dust - Fairy uses her magic to make allies and enemies alike float into the air.
** Human Shrek & Stallion Donkey: Charge - Donkey rushes forwards as Shrek stabs his sword, which heavily damages enemies and breaks locks.

* FlippingHelpless: Turtles can be knocked onto their backs with a GroundPound, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.

* TennisBoss: There are several trolls in the game, and they all have the same weakness: the bombs they shoot at of their mouth to kill you. While they can also be damaged with explosive barrels thrown by Shrek, they do a microscopic amount of damage and the barrels aren't even in some of said encounters, meaning the only real way to defeat them is to hit the bombs back.

* CanonForeigner: Fairy and this game's Lil' Red don't appear anywhere in the movies.
