Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure is an EGA platformer game for MS-DOS written by Apogee Software.The eponymous alien's family is forced into an emergency landing on a planet, and when Cosmo goes to pass the time away from the ship while his dad is fixing it, he comes back an hour or two later to discover his parents are missing. When the player starts the game, it's up to them to find Cosmo's parents over the course of three episodes.An interesting technical note about the game is that while it supports Adlib-compatible sound cards for music, it provides sound effects only through the PC speaker. | |

Parents in Distress: The reason for the adventure is that Cosmo's parents have disappeared, presumably kidnapped. | |

Eternal Engine | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_19028da | comment |
Eternal Engine: Levels 7 and 8 in the first episode, level 5 in the second, and all levels after the second in the third, are full of dangerous machinery. The latter one's case is justified, as Cosmo manages to reach the industrial city where he can supposedly find his parents. These levels feature hazards like fire pistons, retractable spike traps, pitfalls that can only be crossed by toggling on certain mobile platforms, rockets that can take Cosmo at high spots but at the cost of harming him when they explode by clashing against a ceiling, and enemies like a Chrome Champion robot with an invisibility cloak and droids that shoot projectiles. | |

Harmless Enemy | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_3a9f9136 | comment |
Harmless Enemy: Zigzagged with the Purple Worms. They crawl around and don't do any damage normally, but stepping on them causes them to melt into a puddle of bubbling goop, which damages Cosmo if he steps in it. Levels tend to stick groups of them together with other enemies as a distraction and possibly making the player step on them. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option: The first level of episode 2 is just a giant gradually narrowing pit which leads to a giant monster. The first level of episode 3 takes it farther, requiring you to walk straight into a monster's mouth to continue to the next level. | |

Goomba Stomp: The player's primary attack is to jump on enemies' heads. Most enemies are defeated with one stomp, but others can take more before kissing the canvas. The largest non-boss enemy will only go down after seven. | |

The Lost Woods: There are a few levels set in forests, but the fourth level of episode 1 best exemplifies this trope, with its creepy-looking trees (with eyes looking out of them), ghosts that only move when Cosmo turns his back, and a thunderstorm. | |

I Fell for Hours | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_6c1864a9 | comment |
I Fell for Hours: The first episodic game ends as Cosmo falls through a tall, spiky hollow until he approaches the maw of a hungry monster. It ends with a cliffhanger, with the game wondering if Cosmo will avoid being eaten, then teasing the next episodic game. Episode 2 starts with this very level, and shows that Cosmo is indeed eaten... which means level 2 is a Womb Level, so the game progresses normally from there. | |

Covers Always Lie: The cover of the full version of the game claims the dangerous planet the game takes place on is Earth. The planet decidedly isn’t Earth and isn’t even named other than being called the Forbidden Planet. Cosmo and his parents do go to Earth in the ending of episode 3, but the humans seem pretty okay with random aliens walking around. | |

Kaizo Trap | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_75f38750 | comment |
Kaizo Trap: Inverted due to a bug in the second episode. Cosmo has to climb to the highest part of the last level to reach an open cavity in the ceiling and thus finish the quest. If the player dies near that high point, the character's death animation will begin as his soul rises to the heavens. Since reaching the top happens to be the goal of the level, the game will successfully end as if he had reached there alive. | |

Hover Board: A few levels in the first and third episodes have each a high-tech scooter with luminous green lights that allow the eponymous alien to freely travel in the air (it helps that the scooters work entirely with anti-gravity). They're absent in the second episode, however. | |

Unexpected Art Upgrade Moment | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_9954adaf | comment |
Unexpected Art Upgrade Moment: The endings of each episode, especially episodes 1 and 2, use this. Episode 1's is used for cliffhanger shock value (as this was a Shareware title, so you needed to buy the rest of the series to see the conclusion). Episode 2's, however, is more on the "call-to-adventure" side, as it shows a detailed image of Cosmo looking out over a nighttime vista. Subverted in Episode 2 & 3, though, in that the title screen is the image that uses high-resolution versions of Cosmo and some of the enemy characters. | |

Pipe Maze: Level 5 in Episode 1, as well as Level 5 in Episode 3, both have teleporting green tubes that take the eponymous character through different portions of the playable area. They're one-way only, though it's not a problem since it's impossible to get stuck (at worst, you'll have to do some extensive backtracking if you flub your route). | |

Cliffhanger: Shareware games tended to love cliffhangers, and this is one of them. The end of episode 1 has Cosmo about to fall into a large pit, with messages saying that Cosmo is falling to his doom. Once he falls into hungry jaws, "Are Cosmo's cosmic adventuring days finally over?" The start of episode 2 simply has the maw lead to the next level. | |

Underground Level | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_ce9a1c4a | comment |
Underground Level: Levels 5 and 10 in the first episode take place inside a gray, labyrinthic cavern with plenty of minerals as collectible items. The former level has some stone enemies that attempt to crush Cosmo whenever he's close to them (similar to the Thwomps of Super Mario Bros. fame), as well as some spears attached to walls that periodically stretch downward. The latter level is more open-ended in its design, and houses the boss of the episode. The first and second episodes also feature Slippy-Slidey Ice World variants, where certain walls have lower friction and make Cosmo go down even when he's attached to them with his arms' suction cups. The third episode, which predominantly takes place in an Eternal Engine citadel, averts the trope. | |

Expy: This game was built with Super Mario Bros. in mind. Not only are enemies defeated by Goomba Stomping, but many enemies are obvious expies of ones from Mario as well, including Goombas, Boos, Thwomps, and even Thwimps. | |

Wall Crawl | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_ed98f038 | comment |
Wall Crawl: Using Cosmo's suction hands, you can repeatedly jump and stick to walls to scale them. This was the first time this was seen in a video game. You slide down ice walls, but it's still possible to get up them. | |

Wall Jump | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_eee721fd | comment |
Wall Jump: The eponymous character is equipped with suction cups in his hands, allowing him to not only jump between walls but also stick to them. Icy walls will slowly make him descend, as will certain metallic setpieces in the last regular level of the first episode. The special magenta walls that appear in the Bonus Stages cannot be attached to in any capacity, so the trope is averted in those levels. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The ubiquitous eye plants do nothing but watch your progress; they're completely harmless. Naturally, you can get large scoring bonuses by blowing up every one you find. They even reward you by replacing the bomb you used. (Blowing up multiple eye plants at once will let you gain on the exchange.) | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter: The flying slugs. They are not only adorable, but should be observed carefully as they can show you the right way to go. Try not to blow them up, since you can instead get bonus items by touching them. | |
