Awesome / Oddworld

• Abe's first transformation as the Shrykull was a pretty good moment in the original version, but New 'n Tasty made it even more epic. The music added to the awesomeness and Abe had an audience of cheering Mudokons when he transformed.
• Stranger's battle with Sekto in Stranger's Wrath. All the way through.
• Freeing all 99 Mudokon slaves in the first game, and then following it up by freeing 300 of them in the sequel.
• The final scene in the good ending (outside of the final M.O.M bulletin) has Abe and his freed brethren holding their paw up to the moon in solidarity, vowing to find the rest of the enslaved Mudokons. It's an awe-inspiring shot and makes the trouble of getting the good ending well worth it.
• Part of the Alf's Escape DLC for New N' Tasty has Abe possess a slig to act as a body guard, mowing down other sligs on both sides before they get within firing distance of Abe. And then slogs, and then more sligs, then slogs on one side and sligs on another. All the while Abe is right in harm's way and unable to move. takes a lot of tries but it feels amazing once you can get through it!
• In Soulstorm, Abe and his friends, Alf and Toby, prove to be the heroes of their race. Abe does most of the leg work, but Alf and Toby help with keeping their train operating and also help Abe strategize before he sets off, such as taking out Comm Towers, where to locate the ingredients for the cure of the brew, and taking down the Brewery's poison by contaminating it with the cure. These three went above and beyond for not only their survival, but for their followers, current and future.
• How do Abe, Alf, and Toby get into Soulstorm Brewery in Soulstorm? With a Dynamic Entry courtesy of Abe turning into the Shrykull, and projecting lightning down the rail the train is on to burn out the mechanisms closing the gates. The light show continues well into the Brewery, with lightning arcing off the train into Sligs before Toby finally recovers enough to pull the brake lever.
• In a classic case of Dramatic Irony, Molluck, who spends much of the game hunting Abe down, unintentionally saves him and his friends lives in the end of the good ending of Soulstorm. Molluck's reputation went down the toilet thanks to Abe's actions, and no one can believe that a single Mudokon is responsible for Rupture Farm's destruction, and assumes that Molluck is committing fraud. Throughout the game, Abe's antics has been destroying the other Glukkons' factories. When the Brewmaster comes up with a plan to pin the blame on Molluck, who overhears this, he shifts his anger towards them and orders his Slig to murder them with the help of their Sligs, who they themselves have been wronged by them too. All the while Abe, Alf and Toby escape without any troubles, and they will never know that their enemy saved their hides that day.
  • This also works for the Mooks of the game, the Sligs. As soon as Mullock's Slig Chauffeur comes in at the end, readying his fellow Sligs to rebel and kill the Glukkon bosses, the Chauffeur decides to basically give Molluck a threat. They need Molluck's word that he'll do right by him and his fellow Sligs, giving them all a ride to Yaymans to wait the heat out, making sure his bonus is secured, and that the other Sligs are given all the bonuses they've been stiffed out on too. Because they're about to prove that they aren't going to take this sort of mistreatment anymore, and are already gonna be in hot water after they kill their bosses, so if he doesn't agree to their terms, the Chauffeur all but outright tells Molluck that he'll be next. Molluck, while clearly pissed at this turn of events, wisely agrees to their terms, so two oppressed species win out in this story.
  • Even better, Molluck was trying his best to kill Abe and his followers for not only destroying his farm, but unintentionally pinning all the blame for all of their troubles on him. In the end, however, he more or less unintentionally became the entire Mudokon species savior. Abe planned on contaminating the Brew's formula with a cure, so future Mudokon escapees won't suffer a slow and painful death due to the brew withdrawal. The Brewmaster would have undeniably caught wind of his formula being contaminated with and would have fixed it, or worse, made an even better formula to combat the cure. When Molluck killed Brewmaster, he made sure that whatever the current formula is will be used in the future, since the factory is still standing.
• A rather subdued one when Abe walks in to the train's engine for the first time. He stops almost mid-sentence after a few seconds, points at Toby, and asks "He knows how to drive a train?" Alf responds that Toby learned how to drive a train because he stole the manuals from the shipping department of Rupture Farms years ago and had been reading them since. That's right: Toby managed to steal something, undetected by the Sligs or surveillance, survive getting them out of the shipping department, and keep it hidden for years after.
• In Stranger's Wrath, the Grubbs' saving and freeing Stranger from D. Caste Raider after he's been captured. And immediately afterwards he sweeps the floor with Raider and his gang with his bare hands.
