Escape from Monkey Island is the fourth game in the Monkey Island series, released in 2000 by LucasArts. It was also the first 3D game of the series (which used a modified version of the engine from Grim Fandango). Guybrush and Elaine return from their honeymoon to find two problems: Elaine has been gone so long she's been declared legally dead, and is thus no longer governor of the Tri-Island area, forcing her to run for re-election against the challenger "Charles L. Charles". Furthermore, a sinister Australian businessman named Ozzie Mandrill has been buying up property all around the Caribbean, driving out the indigenous pirate-themed businesses (and the pirates along with them) in favor of coffee houses, theme restaurants, and other tourist traps. Guybrush soon discovers Mandrill is not only in league with a yet-again-resurrected LeChuck, but the two are after a sinister artifact known as the "Ultimate Insult" that will allow them to rule the Caribbean.After being hard to find for a long time, the game was finally made available digitally on GOG.com and Steam in 2018. | |

Temporal Suicide: Optional and Played for Laughs. In the Mists of Tyme Swamp, Guybrush encounters his future self who gives him a few items, including a gun. The player can then use the gun to kill the future Guybrush, but this results in time resetting itself. | |

| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ozzie Mandrill is a clear stab at Rupert Murdoch, being an Australian tycoon who sweeps in, takes over American (well, technically Caribbean) businesses, and seeks to impose his own views on his adoptive country. The caricature artist who appears in Planet Hollywood is himself a caricature of Harvey Fierstein. | |

Title Drop | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Very blatantly: Whenever the title is dropped by Guybrush, it's spoken in a bombastic movie trailer voice. And, what's more, if you have the subtitles on, the title drop is also written in caps lock with a Tradesnarkâ„¢ at the end. | |

Milholland Relationship Moment: Subverted when you try to tell Ignatius Cheese what happened to the SCUMM Bar. He doesn't react at all when you tell him it fell victim to some fictional disasters, but when you say "Oh, never mind, it's nothing" he realizes it's been taken over and is infuriated. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Being Monkey Island it's to be expected. But early in the game a literal example happens. Guybrush is challenging a master dart player to some difficult and later insane trick shots. One is to "Hit that guy over there" at which point he throws a dart at the player and cracks the screen. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: This is vital here, where you have a "meet yourself" scenario twice on your way to a particular destination in the Mists o' Time Marsh, and the second time you have to repeat the exact sequence of events you experienced the first time. It doesn't help that the potential sequence of events is completely random, so there's no "one guide fits all" answer for solving the puzzle. The banana picker, which is used over and over for different tasks. Lampshaded by Guybrush, who excitedly exclaims that, "Hey, I actually get to use this banana picker more than once!" | |

| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_27b2bccc | comment |
No Flow in CGI: Probably the reason why Guybrush has such a tiny, pathetic ponytail in this one. However, the "Elaine" waitress at Planet Threepwood has a long ponytail that sways as she walks. On the other hand, Elaine's hair is bigger than ever, but noticeably stiff. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: One can crop up when you're trying to restore Herman Toothrot's memory. If you hit him with anything other than the correct object, it causes him to completely lose his memory, forcing you to start the whole sequence again. However, it's possible for his memory to remain permanently lost, and if this happens before he remembers that he's really Captain Marley and gives you a vital Plot Coupon, it becomes impossible to proceed in the game. Repeatedly throwing the coconut at him can reset the puzzle, but you then have to remember to throw the coconut at him again if you don't want to end up re-breaking the game. It's possible for the rock puzzle on Monkey Island to become unsolvable if you throw the rocks in the wrong order, leaving you stuck. On the Playstation 2 version only, talking to Otis on Jambalaya Island more than once will lock the game. | |

| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_396be241 | comment |
Video Game 3D Leap: The first Monkey in 3D. Not a very positive transition. It loses mouse control, playability, and the graphic quality is crude, generic and charmless. Cartoonish but detailed 2D sprites like the ones from the older Curse still befitted a humor/story-driven non-action game . | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_52475ffd | comment |
Cutting Off the Branches: Guybrush canonically ended up sinking his boat in the first game and stranded Carla, Otis and Meathook in Monkey Island.note This would happen if Guybrush fired the catapult at all without first changing its aim, so it's pretty plausible. As such, the first two are very angry at him and will only agree to sign on with him again if he can promise them cushy government jobs. | |

Less Embarrassing Term | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_5dcb9d92 | comment |
Less Embarrassing Term: Guybrush requisitions a ship, only to be given a bright pink vessel called the Dainty Lady. If he complains to the Harbormistress, she will suggest other terms for the color, such as "magenta." In a bit of a subversion, one of her suggestions, "Flaming Popsicle," is even more embarrassing. Interestingly, the ship's figurehead, when animated, is decidedly unladylike and is in no way dainty. But then again, she does say her being pink is a new thing that she isn't happy with either. | |

Politicians Kiss Babies | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_6406a19c | comment |
Politicians Kiss Babies: Discussed, of sorts. Charles L. Charles excuses himself saying that he has "hands to kiss and babies to shake". A bit of Dark Humor in this case, as it came barely 3 years after the Louise Woodward "baby-shaking" murder case, in which she was eventually convicted of involuntary manslaughter. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: In Monkey Kombat, all attacks do the same amount of damage, and your opponent always gets the first move. As you can probably work out, this means that actually winning a match requires you to not make a single mistake, while hoping that the opponent is dumb enough to either switch into a stance weaker than the one you've adopted, or not bother changing its own stance after you switch into one that beats it. If the opponent AI doesn't feel like letting you win a match, then you're not going to, plain and simple. Strangely enough, the one match that isn't luck-based is actually the one against the reigning champion, who is coded to make at least one mistake in the match. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: If you talk to the drunken pirate at the SCUMM Bar in Act 1, his ramblings include "Hikeeba!" and "Mxyzptlk". The name "Ozzy Mandrill" brings to mind a certain poem by Shelley, especially when he completes the Ultimate Insult and boasts "I am Ozzy Mandrill, king of the Caribbean! Look upon my works, ye mighty pirates, and despair!" It also sounds like the name of the Star Wars character Ody Mandrell. When talking to him, Guybrush can ask if he's the guy who bites the heads off monkeys. Mortal Kombat is the source of the name "Monkey Kombat". The trial; "If the nose don't fit, you must acquit" parodies the O. J. Simpson murder trial. There is a X-Wing from Star Wars stuck in the swamps. If you examine the iron maiden in the Lucre Island jail, Guybrush will remark "Iron maiden? Excellent!" Upon failing to use the Ultimate Insult to wipe out all the pirates in the world: If Guybrush sits on the bench on Lucre Island, he remarks "Life is like pillaging a trading vessel bound for Jamestown... Ya never know what you're gonna get." If you can't prove to the Scumm Bar bartender that you're old enough to get grog, he says "No grog for you!" Upon examining the brass monkey in the Lua Bar, Guybrush says "hmmm, brass monkey," to which many unseen patrons reply "that funky monkey!" Examining the dead mouse on the floor will have Guybrush saying "What are we going to do tonight? Try to take over the Caribbean! The Dainty Lady will yell "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" if you tell her that she looks familiar. Extra funny in French - the ship is instead called "la P'tit Annick". | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: This game is infamous among fans because of this. The revelation that Herman Toothrot was actually Elaine's grandfather, Captain Horatio Torquemada Marley, all along completely breaks the continuity and timeline of the series: For one thing, it ignores the fact that Toothrot originally got to Monkey Island aboard the Sea Monkey, with the ship's log spelling that out quite clearly. The retcons in this game would mean that Toothrot somehow managed to get from Monkey Island to Mêlée Island (while forgetting that he was formerly governor of the latter island), then undertook a voyage back to Monkey Island, only to get stranded for good this time. It suddenly changes Captain Marley from having supposedly been killed by LeChuck pushing him into a whirlpool sometime between the first and second games to Ozzie Mandrill being the one who did the deed, twenty years before the events of this game. The only way all of this even begins to make sense is if Elaine's grandfathers both had the surname Marley, both were victims of assassination attempts via whirlpools during boat races, and one grandfather was successfully killed by LeChuck, but the other survived Ozzie's attempt on his life. The International House of Mojo provides a complicated, if detailed description of how this could possibly all tie together. | |

Bank Toaster | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_f32c8833 | comment |
Bank Toaster: Referenced where an option to end the Dialogue Tree with a bank teller is to act outraged at the lack of free toasters. | |

Shapeshifting | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_f5190cfc | comment |
Shapeshifting: LeChuck does this one here, switching between his ghost, zombie and demon forms as well as Charles L. Charles. He already showed this capability in the first game, disguising himself as a sheriff named Fester Shinetop. | |

Varying Competency Alibi | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_f55f6e1d | comment |
Varying Competency Alibi: The sheriff of Lucre Island doesn't believe Guybrush's claim to have been framed for bank robbery by Pegnose Pete, because he thinks that if Pete were going to rob the bank, he'd be in and out in the middle of the night, using a clever system of weights and pulleys to open the vault, with no one any the wiser, not just barging in waving a pistol. | |

Running Gag | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Throughout the game, Guybrush ends up using pink transportation and even called "pink boy" by Jojo Jr.. For instance, the ship he travels in is pink as is the lava log coaster car on Monkey Island. And of course, he always points it out whenever it comes up. "But...it's pink..." | |

Explosive Leash | |
| Escape from Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_fa73ee9d | comment |
Explosive Leash: The Voodoo Anklet of Extreme Discomfort, which "gets a lot more uncomfortable if you try to leave the island." The alternative, apparently, was the Voodoo Anklet of Excruciating Pain. | |
