* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Mercury]], though she [[IGotBetter "gets better"]]...sort of.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What about the mysterious leader of [=fCon=]? [[WordofGod The developers]] once said that it would have been Dillinger, the human villain of the original movie.

** There are some [[SurprisinglySimilarStories pretty shocking similarities]], though, such as Kevin Flynn vanishing under mysterious circumstances (per the ''Ghost in the Machine'' spin-off comic) and Tron himself going MIA. Probably the most shocking one is that the plot of the game actually involves something called the "Tron Legacy Code", though nothing like it appears in the film sequel.

** There's a Shout Out to ''{{Marathon}}'': "Frog blast the vent core!"

''Tron 2.0'' is a video game developed by Monolith Productions and released in 2003.

It is a sequel to the 1982 movie ''Film/{{Tron}}''; the player takes the role of Jethro "Jet" Bradley, son of the film's characters Alan and Lora. Jet is swiftly summoned into the digital world of Encom's computer network to protect it, his father, and the secrets of the digitizer technology from both a mysteriously powerful virus corrupting everything in its path and a group of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s from the company Future Control Industries ("[=fCon=]") staging a hostile takeover.

Not to be confused with ''Film/TronLegacy'', the 2010 movie sequel to ''Tron''. Particularly since the two sequels are mutually exclusive, and WordOfGod makes the film the official continuity.

!!This game provides examples of:

* AlternateContinuity: From ''Film/TronLegacy'', as the two feature different and incompatible accounts of how the digitizer technology was developed in the decades since the events of ''Tron''. There is also a character who is dead in one and still alive in the other.
** There are some [[SurprisinglySimilarStories pretty shocking similarities]], though, such as Kevin Flynn vanishing under mysterious circumstances (per the ''Ghost in the Machine'' spin-off comic) and Tron himself going MIA. Probably the most shocking one is that the plot of the game actually involves something called the "Tron Legacy Code," though nothing like it appears in the film sequel.

* CoolBike: ''Tron 2.0'' has its own updated version of the lightcycles (designed by Syd Mead).

* ExplosiveOverclocking : Literally done. This ''is'' the Tron universe, after all. Jet overclocks an old Encom mainframe to upload Ma3a to it, getting her out of immediate danger. Unfortunately, the overclocking tears the old system apart, forcing him and Ma3a to retreat to the open Internet.

* FollowTheLeader: While it's certainly an original game, it uses many of the same gameplay elements as ''HalfLife''.
* GoingDownWithTheShip:

* NintendoHard: Like ''MetroidPrime'', ''Tron 2.0'' can be described as a first person platformer with shooting. Unlike ''Metroid Prime'', the jump distances are hard to control, often landing you in the BottomlessPit over and over. And you can't fall as far as you can in many other games before hitting the ground becomes instant death.

* OhCrap: Jet when he receives the warning from "Guest" not to [[spoiler: compile the TRON Legacy code]] as it's happening.

* RecursiveCanon: The ''Tron'' arcade game from the 1980s appears; the explanation is that Kevin Flynn created a game based on his adventures in the film, which was later published by Encom. The same explanation was recycled for ''Film/TronLegacy''.

* SceneryPorn: Watching the Tron universe is one thing; interacting with it is another thing altogether.

** ''Tron 2.0'' has several little references to the first film, such as the popcorn machine.

** When [[spoiler: Alan]] is sent to the system, he looks like he's borrowed [[spoiler: Tron's]] clothing - and looks rather ridiculous in it.

* TechnologyMarchesOn. The in-play graphics of the game ''Tron 2.0'' were better than the ''mainframe-rendered'' graphics of the original movie.

* TotallyRadical: The DJ, naturally. DaftPunk, he's not.

Not to be confused with ''Film/TronLegacy'', the 2010 movie sequel to ''Tron''. Particularly since the two sequels are mutually exclusive.

(Note: Proceed with caution, the previous and the following are no longer considered Tron Universe canon.)

* SexyBack: Mercury, and the game spends much of her time [[FanService showing it off.]]

* BabyGotBack: Mercury, and the game spends much of her time [[FanService showing it off.]]

Not to be confused with ''TronLegacy'', the 2010 movie sequel to ''Tron''. Particularly since the two sequels are mutually exclusive.

* AlternateContinuity: From ''TronLegacy'', as the two feature different and incompatible accounts of how the digitizer technology was developed in the decades since the events of ''Tron''. There is also a character who is dead in one and still alive in the other.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Disney declared the events of ''TRON 2.0'' not canon when ''TronLegacy'' was released.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:[=Ma3a=] and, in a sense, Tron; the "Tron Legacy" ([[TronLegacy no relation]]) code Jet tries to find to fight [=fCon=] turns out to be designed to [[KillAllHumans Kill All Users]] -- as he finds out just ''after'' [=Ma3a=] assimilates the code.]]

* RecursiveCanon: The ''Tron'' arcade game from the 1980s appears; the explanation is that Kevin Flynn created a game based on his adventures in the film, which was later published by Encom. The same explanation was recycled for TronLegacy.

*** Not to mention the leads in each canon are the sons of the original Tron's leads, who meet a female program who's been influence [[spoiler: by the lead's father]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: F-Con decides to test their laser by [[spoiler: zapping Alan in. Now, seeing as this ''is'' the guy who programmed the biggest {{Badass}} in cyberspace history, and gets him teaming up with his son, who's [[TakenALevelInBadass raken a few levels of badass himself]]...]]

** On the other hand, if you have installed the patch, you can simply ''skip'' the lightcycle matches, and you can manually save at any time.
