Barnyard Blast: Swine of the Night is an action platformer for the Nintendo DS made by Sanuk Games.The game consists of six stages worth of platforming and blasting enemies to pieces. The premise is that the (anthropomorphic) piglet Cliffy Belmart has gone playing in the local dark and forbidden castle of doom, tossing toilet paper to and fro, and this has angered some evil entities. They proceed to kidnap him. Robert Belmart, his father, then sets off on a journey through six stages of horror-themed platforming action to rescue his son.He gets to use a pistol, a shotgun, a whip, and dynamite as his weapons. The pistol is weak but has unlimited ammo; the shotgun fires a strong but short-range burst (a bit strange for being a shotgun) with limited ammo, the whip runs off special weapon ammo (blue hearts), and dynamite is lobbed and has a delayed explosion for a lot of damage but is also limited. Robert also picks up ability cards from stage bosses, which that let him recover HP from blue hearts, spend blue hearts for stronger attacks, run faster, jump higher, or other abilities.The game is a pretty transparent reference to the Castlevania games, particularly the older ones which were straightforward platformers rather than the more famous and more recent castletroids. In addition, it fully means to lampshade various videogame tropes, and does so quite shamelessly, with famous zany videogame quotes popping up all over the place. And just look at the names of the six levels: A Night Walk in the Graveyard The Ancient Castle Ruled by Darkness The Swamp Full of Disgusting Creepy-Crawlies The Volcano BBQ The Forest in the Way The Castle of Intolerable Pain...yeah.

Robert complains that there is a forest in the way between him and the final level. Then the Title Card of the next level shows up, calling it... The Forest in the Way.

Lampshade Hanging
 Barnyard Blast (Video Game) / int_2a090d00
comment
Lampshade Hanging: Everything. Everything. From Robert's wife asking him to pick up milk along the way, before the first level, to Robert commenting that his son has no taste for dramatic monologues. Robert clearly states that he'd rather go on a dangerous mission himself rather than notifying the authorities of his missing son, even though that would be a much safer and more sensible alternative. Robert complains that there is a forest in the way between him and the final level. Then the Title Card of the next level shows up, calling it... The Forest in the Way.

Advancing Boss of Doom: The plant / T-Rex hybrid boss will continuously chase Robert throughout the stage, necessitating him to continue running while shooting back. It does momentarily stop a few times to use it's Bullet Seed attack, at which point it becomes vulnerable for a short while before the chase continues.

Boss Rush: A small one in the last level, where you fight two bosses back-to-back: the hailfire dog and the giant flying eye, which also happened to be the bosses of the other castle level in the game. Fortunately, you now have access to more ability cards.

The Grim Reaper: Being inspired directly by the Castlevania series, the reaper himself shows up as a boss near the end. It's worth noting that this incarnation of the reaper doesn't have his usual Sinister Scythe, and instead attacks with a red Laser Sword.

Monster Mash: Actually, this game surprisingly averted this trope. With the stock horror and platformer settings you'd think you'd get some classic monsters, but most of the monsters in this game are actually unique to the game.

Shout-Out
 Barnyard Blast (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To many games, including Mega Man 2, Super Mario Bros., Zero Wing, and others, mainly in the form of quotes. But most of all, to the Castlevania series: "Belmart". The "slayer" whip. And more subtly, hearts that power weapons. The entrances to both castles. Endless zombies in graveyards and buildings. Though the way the graveyards are set up makes them more like Ghosts 'n Goblins's version. The epilogue, which speaks of this tale having to repeat itself in about a hundred years. (The Castlevania series canon says that Dracula rises once every century, shortly before the turn of the century.)
