Colossus Climb	comment	A specific exchange between two characters of different size scales, and a way for the little guy to get a leg up. The smaller character attacks the bigger character by climbing their body, avoiding their ponderous opponent long enough to attack a vulnerable spot. Can involve climbing on fur, hair and clothing, or can alternately involve invasion under clothing. The climb may be made easier when combined with a Gulliver Tie-Down. If the attacker is swallowed, this can quickly lead to a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot. Generally, this occurs between a normal-sized person and a giant monster, or a tiny-sized character and a normal-sized opposite. It is a feature in many Incredible Shrinking Man and Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever plots, and is a common tactic of rodent or insectoid animal characters, (talking or speech-impaired). Can also happen if the smaller person had no idea they were on the larger one in the first place. A milder form has a small child trying to bring down an exceptionally big thug, but it almost never works. Since most western animation is designed as kid-friendly stuff, this will most often not be done to a female character, and the vulnerable area attacked will not be the most vulnerable area. Though on the occasions where it is done on a woman, it is often a source of Fanservice. Although it goes back to epics like Inferno, this has also become a common game trope, especially during Boss Battles. It treats the boss monster as an element of the environment, and designates parts of his body as platforms, to give a clear shot at his Achilles' Heel. Doing this to a Humongous Mecha often involves important wires. See also Stepping Stones in the Sky and Monstrous Scenery. When it happens in a shooter, it's a Battleship Raid. Compare Level in Boss Clothing.

That is, if someone who had Super-Strength isn't around to serve him up a Fastball Special. Oftentimes, Wolverine is almost more than likely capable of climbing his way up to take them out head on. But downplayed in Ultimate X-Men when Wolverine fights the advanced sentinels and comments that they are smaller and more concentrated, making it easier as he can now simply jump up and attack the head without any climbing at all.

Colossus Climb / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter has had a few monsters large enough to qualify: Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) introduces Jhen Mhoren, an Elder Dragon that hunters can jump on if he gets close enough to the Dragonship. In fact, it's necessary if you want to mine scales and ores from it as well as to hit the two weakpoints on it. Monster Hunter 4: The Final Boss of the high-rank multiplayer quests is Dalamadur, who remains the single largest monster in the franchise, being a 440 meter long snake-dragon. Part of the fight does involve climbing its body to reach its weakpoints. And it's suggested that that isn't even its maximum size: World features a Dalamadur skeleton in one level that is nearly the size of an entire biome, with its skull alone dwarfing most Elder Dragons. The game as a whole introduces "mounting", a mechanic that lets you climb almost all monsters. It's become an integral part of the Monster Hunter metagame ever since. Monster Hunter: World includes both standard monster mounting and battles with Zorah Magdaros, an Elder Dragon who is more or less a giant walking volcano, whose first phase starts as this and transitions into a Battleship Raid with some Climb elements. Zorah's so huge that standard hunter weapons are more or less useless against it; the smallest weapons that can hurt it at all are full-blown cannons.

Despite Memetic Mutation to the contrary, the Hydra fight is a subversion at most; the only time it's possible to climb atop the Hydra, its heads (the only vulnerable points) are sticking out of the ground elsewhere in the courtyard, and the only thing you can do from atop the Hydra's back is trigger a Reaction Command to stun them all. Giant Sark can be defeated in a variation. Should he summon a wall to block the party, a reaction command allows Sora to One-Hit Kill him by climbing the wall and stabbing Sark in the head.

Colossus Climb / int_367f632a	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War One of the uberunits for Chaos (indeed, the only one before expansions added the Daemon Prince) is the Bloodthirster, a forty-foot tall winged demon with a giant battleaxe. He kills infantry by picking them up and chowing down on them. However, the Space Marines' primary commander unit, the Force Commander, carries anti-daemon weaponry (a daemonhammer called God-Splitter) and will always beat the Bloodthirster one-on-one (with or without using the Orbital Bombardment ability). Upon said victory, the Force Captain will crack the demon on the knee with his hammer, climb up onto its back, and whale on its head until it falls. The Force Commander has a brilliant one in the sequel as well, against the Tyranid Carnifex. Launching himself at the thing's jaw, after avoiding acidic vomit, the Commander holds fast while being trashed around and unloading his bolter into the creature's head — when it finally flings him up in the air, he smashes it right in the skull with his melee weapon, dropping it like a stone. Win.

Similarly, Wee Mad Arthur in Feet of Clay can skitter up a man's pant leg and break his kneecap. He also clambered up an out-of-control bull and headbutted it over and over until it collapsed. This is also how the Clan deal with a highwayman in The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.

This is necessary in order to send it grinding to a temporary halt that both resets its continuous acceleration and lets all the other vehicles pound on it for extra damage. The Spine of Deathwing encounter takes place on the titular dragon's back, fighting against his corrupted blood while trying not to be thrown from his back when he rolls to the side. The goal is to loosen metal plates and then destroy the tendons holding them in place to expose his flesh to a more powerful attack.

Part of the fight does involve climbing its body to reach its weakpoints. And it's suggested that that isn't even its maximum size: World features a Dalamadur skeleton in one level that is nearly the size of an entire biome, with its skull alone dwarfing most Elder Dragons.

Once they're on, there's only a few effective ways to get them off: leave your Titan to shoot them off yourself (which they can see you doing and get off just as quickly get off to shoot back), get help from a teammate, use Electric Smoke, or bounce a Cluster Bomb off a wall to hit them. Even if they're removed, if they were on long enough to rip open a hatch, the Titan permanently has a giant flashing weakpoint.

Consequently you spend the whole time standing on one or the other. Multiple enemies require you to become tiny and go inside them to defeat them, including the final form of the Big Bad. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Two bosses in the game don't have to be climbed as much as getting high enough to use the hookshot on their weak point on their back. Cue Link sitting on the boss frantically stabbing said weak point with his sword until he gets shaken off. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: A variation occurs with Eox in Mutoh's Temple, as you get catapulted on top of it by hitting ancient seesaws with the hammer. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: There's the third fight against The Imprisoned, where you need to whack his seal back into his forehead by launching onto him with the Groosenator. A more-classic Colossus Climb is one of two viable strategies for the other two fights, as well. Originally, this is how the final boss fight against Ganon in Ocarina of Time was intended to be fought, which would have made Ocarina the Trope Maker instead! However, due to camera and frame rate issues, it was scrapped and the smaller-scale version we're all familiar with was used instead. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Two of the large field bosses, the Stone Talus and the Hinox, can be climbed upon. For the former, it's necessary to Attack Its Weak Point unless you have Bomb Arrows to hit it from a distance. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Two of the new field bosses, the Frox and the Flux Construct, can be climbed upon. The Frox in particular has rocky deposits on its back like the Stone Talus that are similarly weak spots. The Marbled Gohma requires you to smash its legs out from under it so you can climb on its head and attack its eye. The Demon Dragon, the final form of the Final Boss, requires you to skydive onto its back to destroy several growths, and then onto its head to destroy the Secret Stone. You are assisted by the Light Dragon, who will catch you on her head if you fall too far and let you orient yourself on her body before diving down again.

Video games typically struggle with portraying one of the X-Men's major antagonists, the colossal robots known as Sentinels; often they are shrunken down to only slightly larger than human so they make a more manageable obstacle for the player. Clone Wars gets around this by having the X-Men attack a Sentinel maintenance facility while the Sentinels are off-line. You spend two levels fighting your way up scaffolding to reach one of the Sentinel's heads, and one level going inside a Sentinel and fighting a Boss Battle against its reactor core, then running partway back down the scaffolding before the facility explodes from the power overload. Parts of two Sentinels' bodies are visible in the background throughout the levels, and they are true to their gigantic depictions in the comic books and television shows.

As even the smallest 'Mech is still over 6 meters tall, Elemental teams, operating in groups of five, often enact a Colossus Climb to destroy enemy 'Mechs, mostly to Attack Its Weak Point. Because of the construction of some types of 'Mechs, which often lack humanoid features like hands, this trope is considered a perfectly sensible tactic instead of a suicide run. However, there are some Inner Sphere infantry units, who are not 8' tall nor clad in armor that can resist 'Mech-scale weapons, who will occasionally try to do this with varying degrees of success. It is possible for simple infantrymen to inflict critical leg damage to enemy 'Mechs this way, and the novels describe at least three instances where a 'Mech was captured or destroyed by infantry making climbs.

Final Fantasy VIII: While not player-controlled, Squall's Limit Break employs this against several late-game bosses. The Sin battle in Final Fantasy X is a variant of this. Sin is flying, so your party has to approach it on their airship in order to fight its parts separately, and there's a brief segment where you land on Sin in order to attack its core. Once Sin itself is defeated, you then have to go inside it to finish it off. In Final Fantasy X-2, the entire final level is taken up by a climb up Vegnagun to get to its head. Final Fantasy XIV: The fight against Bismarck involves using giant chained harpoons to bring him in close so you can do exactly this.

Sonic Adventure 2: The Egg Golem has platforms on its back pop out during one of its attacks, allowing Sonic to attack the control device on top. However, in the Dark story's version of events, Sonic reaches the top in one jump. During the Biolizard boss battle, Shadow has to grind up a "support pipe" on the Biolizard's neck in order to reach its back, where its weak spot is. In Sonic Rush, the final boss of Sonic and Blaze's story modes is a giant mech, and to attack you have to wait until it punches the stage, then run over its arm and shoulder to spin attack its head. Inverted at the end of Sonic Unleashed, where Sonic has to save the colossus he's running all over rather than try to destroy it. In Sonic Rush Adventure, the boss of Blizzard Peaks is a whale. Smack it open, jump inside to an obstacle course, then smack this weak spot at the end. Literally. While most bosses in this game take loads of hits, only 3 times of reaching this spot (different course each time too) is needed.

In one case, the Prince climbs a monster, and rides him into a wall at the end of a maze. And before that in Thrones, in an arena he fights a much bigger giant and defeating him involves weakening him, then performing acrobatics to climb, cripple and kill him.

Agent 8 also has to do it within the NILS Statue's 3-minute charge time, though to make the task possible, Marina attaches Hyperbombs to it, each of which ink a large portion of the statue all by itself. Agent 8 still has to do a lot of climbing around the thing though. The series also includes couple of downplayed examples among their normal boss fights, including the Octonozzle in Splatoon, the Octo Oven in Splatoon 2, the Octostomp in both games, and Frye (who uses an Octostomp's husk as a coop for her eels) in Splatoon 3. Once one of these bosses reveals its weak point, the player has to quickly climb to the top of the boss so they can attack it before it shakes them off.

Much like the game it parodies from, the player first has to find the weak points (by using Bart's slingshot to knock open the panels on the back of the statue) then find a way to get high enough to press the buttons (either by gliding from a high point as Bart, or having Homer suck helium and ballooning his way up to the weak points). There are three such buttons, each one needing to be found and pressed to take the boss out, while the player avoids the statue's lasers and evil Krusty dolls attacking them.

When his hand gets close to her breast (every indication is that he's going to keep climbing), she screams out that he's a pervert, which causes him to climb back down without doing anything.

The weak points on both bosses require players to climb on top of them to reach them, with Magatsu's boss fight featuring parts on its body that, after receiving enough damage, can act as footholds to hit its weak points. So massive is it that the only way for melee fighters to reach its weak points without Jet Boots is with Sukunahime's jump-enhancing blessings and binding arrow ballistas to pull it down to the ground.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Used in the boss fight against the Humongous Mecha Quadraxis. In the third phase of the fight, Quadraxis' head separates from its legs and starts flying around the arena.

In Nintendo Land's Metroid Blast attraction, Kraid increases in height after each successful attack on his weak point. If you're an on-foot player (playing with a Wii Remote and Nunchuck), you have to use the Grapple Beam to climb up platforms coming out of his body. If you're in the Gunship, its flight allows you to just get in the air above him anyway.

Giant Sark can be defeated in a variation. Should he summon a wall to block the party, a reaction command allows Sora to One-Hit Kill him by climbing the wall and stabbing Sark in the head.
