6 | !!''Garfield and His Nine Lives'' contains examples of: |
7 | |
8 | * AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Level 4, Spiders in the Sewers, is a large and labyrinthine sewer system. |
9 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Why would Garfield care about rescuing Nermal, Odie, and a bunch of random chicken eggs? |
10 | * AWinnerIsYou: The game's ending is insulting. You're shown a single image of Garfield happily running away from the refrigerator, then it goes back to the main menu. |
11 | * BigBoosHaunt: Level 2, Haunted House. Full of coffins, bats, suits of armor, ghosts, and a graveyard. The goal is to find a key and escape. |
12 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Implied. Level 8, Dr. Dupes and the Odie Clones, is full of Odie lookalikes who wear helmets and attack Garfield. The titular "Dr. Dupes" is nowhere to be seen. |
13 | * CircusEpisode: Level 3, The Circus, has Garfield jumping over flaming hoops and through tightropes at a circus. |
14 | * DifficultyLevels: Before you start a save file, you can choose to play on Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty. |
15 | * EdibleCollectible: Being the BigEater he is, the collectible items for Garfield in each level are foods: coffee, pizza, pie, donuts... |
16 | * GroundPound: While in the air, Garfield can slam the ground with his shoulder to break open weak ground. |
17 | * IdleAnimation: If he hasn't moved in a while, Garfield will look at the player and tap his foot impatiently. |
18 | * LifeMeter: Garfield's health is portrayed by a pan of lasagna. As he loses health, the lasagna partially disappears. If he loses a life, all that's left is an empty pan. |
19 | * PlatformGame: Garfield runs and jumps through 9 different levels. |
20 | * PieInTheFace: Pie-throwing monkey enemies appear in The Circus. |
21 | * PunBasedTitle: The final level is titled Kitchen Cat-Astrophe. |
22 | * RakeTake: One obstacle in level 1, Arbuckle Farm, is rakes laying on the ground. If Garfield steps on one, it hits him in the face and he loses health. |
23 | * RandomEventsPlot: There's no connective narrative between each level; some are regular Garfield setpieces like the kitchen and climbing a tree, others are stranger locales like a haunted house and a circus. Whether these are meant to be Garfield's lives, dreams, or anything else is left to your interpretation. |
