''Wild Woody'' is a video game that was released for the UsefulNotes/SegaCD in 1995.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[spoiler: There is a hidden easter egg that has an naked, breast-hanging mermaid and]] Woody made a adult pun in a CGI cutscene where he said:
** Woody: ''"All I did was bust a gut!"''
** Not to mention [[spoiler: the semi naked pencil Woody wishes for.]]
** The game's title; "woody" is also slang for an erection.

* SoBadItsGood: The [[NoFlowInCGI poorly done cgi]] cutscenes do provide this with Woody providing his hammy performance as well.

** His in game character may seem like a conventional side-scrolling vibe, but some of his special attacks are.. plain weird like his eraser [[ButtCannon being his butt as a ability to erase enemies]], and some of his other abilities can seem [[CoolButInefficient cool as well given that Woody can draw things to help himself out, but are hard to use.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Woody may be an hammy, boisterous [[CloudCuckoolander wacko]], but the cutscenes and progress you've made in the game goes to show how [[Determinator determined]] and competent Woody was for being TheHero in the story with rescuing Lowman's totem pole brethren.

* FetchQuest: [[OnlySaneMan Lowman]] has Woody going into many worlds to retrieve his totem pole brethren back while the levels have a sidescroller style to each stage before defeating many bosses in order to do so.

* NoFlowInCGI: Since the CGI from the Sega CD in the cutscenes was poorly done, it would show how stiff, slightly rendered, jerky and buggy character movement whenever [[LargeHam Woody,]] [[OnlySaneMan Lowman]] or the totem poles talk for example gives off this vibe entirely, along with the camera moving in a way that isn't smooth gives off this vibe.

* SoBadItsGood: The [[NoFlowInCGI poorly done cgi]] cutscenes do provide this with Woody.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Wild Woody being quite.. unhinged and pretty crazed with some expressions he makes in the cutscenes during his hammy performance [[NoFlowInCGI because of the cgi]] and Woody can sometimes spout out nonsense when beating up the totem heads in many energized ways like an maniac before putting them back on Lowman are prime examples of his oddball behavior and appearance.

A man brings a totem pole home with him, which turns out to have the power to destroy the universe, but only if many extremely specific conditions are met: it has to be the third Wednesday of July, there has to be a full moon, and there must be snow falling. By coincidence, all of these things end up happening at once (a nearby snowglobe being enough to satisfy the "snowfall" condition), causing the entire universe beyond the room to disappear and the totems to come to life. Each head enters a different picture within the room and turns it into their own personal universe, with the exception of Lowman, the lowermost head on the pole and the token good guy of the totem's heads. To retrieve his evil brothers to prevent them from causing too much trouble, Lowman brings a pencil of all things to life. The pencil, named Woody... ''WIIIIIIIIILD'' Woody... complies with the order he is given, and sets off to find the totem heads.

* LargeHam: Subtlety is a foreign concept to Woody. The guy is an over the top spaz in personality, [[IncomingHam most memorably in the opening cutscene.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The very title of the game is often criticized for being a DoubleEntendre considered inappropriate for a children's game.
** Woody defeated enemies by erasing them with his eraser... which is basically just rubbing his butt on them. The manual referred to this as "rubbing one out".
** A very convoluted series of actions in the second level will allow Woody to draw a topless mermaid with visible nipples.

* AlliterativeTitle and AlliterativeName: The name "Wild Woody" repeats the letter "W".

* GangplankGalleon: The first part of the first level takes place on a pirate ship.

** In one level, one of the things the player can make Woody draw is a topless mermaid.
* HighAltitudeBattle: The second boss battle, "Gadzeus", takes place in the sky.
* MookMaker: The "Alien Baby Nest" boss produces alien babies (which are just disembodied mouths with wings) to attack the player.

* StationaryBoss: All of the bosses stay completely stationary. The player has to jump up to the boss's weak spot and attack it from there.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The very title of the game is often criticized for being a DoubleEntendre considered inappropriate for a children's game.

* SequelHook: At the end of the game, Lowman tells Woody that he'll be back the next time the world needs saving. Woody replies with "Yeah, [[BreakingTheFourthWall only if we sell a zillion units]]!" This game was released at a time when people were moving on to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, however, so it failed to sell a zillion units.
