Agent Hugo: RoboRumble is a 2006 Racing Game for computers running Windows, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, and mobile phones that's part of the Hugo the TV Troll franchise and a sequel to Agent Hugo. A new villain named Geekdorph desires to take control of living beings and make robots rule the world. To do so, he invaded the city of Aquapolis, which Hugo managed to stop before the events of the game. However, he has not given up, so Hugo has to infiltrate his factories and find their vulnerabilities. To help Hugo on his mission, he is given a board called TEX2000 that can travel through them quickly and take advantage of special pads.


This game provides examples of:

  • Advanced Tech 2000: Hugo's TEX2000 and Geekdorph's WorldToaster 4000 are both highly advanced machines, though the former is meant to help save the world and the latter to destroy it.
  • Aside Comment: Hugo tends to look at the camera and make some kind of comment whenever he collects pickups, destroys robots, or does other stuff.
  • Attack Its Weak Point: The WorldToaster 4000 has its weak point underneath its feet in phase 1 and its chest area in phase 2.
  • Beehive Barrier: TEX2000's shield mode makes a barrier made up of triangles cover Hugo whenever he flies over a green tile.
  • Boss Banter: During the battle with him, Geekdorph makes comments how he always wins, the WorldToaster 4000's indestructible and Hugo can't win.
  • Build Like an Egyptian: The first group of courses takes place in Egypt, with plenty of ancient ruins and The Sphinx to drive through.
  • Chromatic Arrangement: The different modes for TEX2000 include jump (red), barrier (green), and boost (blue).
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: All of the previous RISK members are gone, with the exception of Miss Alltoobright.
  • Clipped-Wing Angel: In the battle at the end, the WorldToaster 4000 has its whole body, then it loses its legs and has to fly in phase 2, and then it's just Geekdorph running away in phase 3.
  • Color-Coded Item Tiers: Green pickups are worth 50/100 points, purple 200, and blue 500/1000.
  • Cool Board: Hugo's TEX2000, a futuristic hoverboard that can switch between different modes.
  • Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Geekdorph used to be a promising scientist, but he gave his brain to a robot and decided to have them take over the world.
  • Evil Gloating: Once in a while, Geekdorph will make remarks like "You'll never defeat my robots!"
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Geekdorph has a very deep, robotic voice, fitting an antagonistic robot supremacist.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: Hugo sometimes yells "Arriba!" while boosting.
  • Low Clearance: In this commercial, Hugo fails to take advantage of the trope when he is chased by a robot and looks back on a train he's sfanding on, failing to see that he's about to hit his head on a tunnel behind him.
  • Sequence Breaking: By holding start on a level entrance and starting a new game, the level start message stays open. After skipping the opening cutscene, you can start the level. This can lead to the game getting beaten in less than three minutes.
  • Timed Mission: Certain courses are about doing enough laps within a few minutes.
  • Time-Limit Boss: Geekdorph has to be defeated within four minutes.
  • Victory Dance: Hugo always busts a move with something related to the course if he's victorious upon exiting it.
