Go To

Rad claims to know everything, which impresses K.O. and annoys Enid. However, his knowledge is put to the test when the group must venture into the mysterious backroom.


Tropes:

  • Ancient Egypt: One of the randomly generated rooms transports the trio into a guilded room where Ms. Mummy resides in. The tapestries depict a pair of Anubis-like creatures in fangirl posters. Ms. Mummy's tombstone is carved with a resembling figure to Bastet. A few objects are adorned with the scarab beetle sigil.
  • Broken Pedestal: Enid forces K.O. to realize that Radicles isn't as awesome and flawless as the kid likes to think he is.
  • Chest Monster: The mimic attacks the gang by disguising itself as a flashlight, a map, the floor, Radicles and a can of shaving cream.
  • Chick Magnet: Ms. Mummy refers to Rad as the "Handsome One" of the bunch.
  • Evil Knockoff: The mimic momentarily take on the form of Rad to fool Enid and K.O. He shifts into a fully pink colored version of Rad when unraveling from his disguise.
  • Girly Girl: Ms. Mummy.
  • Glowing Eyes: The mimic's yellow glowing eyes pairs nicely with his yellow mouth.
  • Healing Spring: When rushing back to retrieve the scroll map Ms. Mummy had offered the crew earlier on, Enid discovers a fairy spring shrine has now taken the place of the previous generated Ancient Egyptian themed room.
  • Here We Go Again!: The can of shaving cream K.O. recovered turns out be a mimic in disguise, and the episode ends just as it's about to attack our heroes.
  • Imagine Spot: K.O.'s bubble thoughts depicting the stubborn actions from the real Rad in contrast to the mimic's apologetic demeanor while disguised as Rad.
  • Joke Item: K.O. hands Ms. Mummy rolled tissue paper, which she gratefully accepts as gift. She implies she will use it later on as bandages, by taking pleasure the tissue favorably matches her attire's colour.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Rad talks a big game, claiming he knows everything about the Bodega's back room, but his stubborn refusal to admit he's wrong gets him, Enid, and K.O. in trouble.
  • Musical Pastiche: When exiting the fairy spring shrine room, the music sounds like the ending notes to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past intro song.
  • No Mouth: Ms. Mummy's facial features are obfuscated by her mummy bandages, aside from her pair of eyes lined with uptilt lashes.
  • Randomly Generated Levels: Parodied. The backrooms of Gar's Bodega is so much like a video game dungeon that the rooms aren't just designed randomly, they're constantly regenerating every time you leave them—not just the whole backroom, any individual room.
    Enid: The rooms are randomly generated!?!
  • Spark Fairy: All the fairies located within the randomly generated shrine are noticeably blue orbs of glowing light.
  • Spot the Impostor: The mimic takes the form of Radicles. K.O. has to pick out the real one, and deduces that it's the one that is acting like a jerk, while the mimic is being unusually nice and considerate.
  • The Maze: The entirety of the Gar's Bodega back-stock. Luckily for the crew, Ms. Mummy generously offered Rad the map to help them exit the labyrinth with ease.
  • Time-Passage Beard: At the end, the crew return to the store after their adventure to the stock room to find that their customer has a long beard. When Enid asks how long they were down there, the customer explains that his beard just grows very quickly, which is why he needed the super shaving cream that they were looking for in the first place.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: When the mimic finally starts fighting, he expects Turn-Based Combat based on dice rolls, allowing the heroes to pummel him while he's waiting for them to roll.
