You are The Kid. You want to be The Guy. To do that, you have to kill The Guy.And standing between you and The Guy are hordes of annoying, hard-to-kill monsters, downright sadistic traps, nigh-impossible obstacle courses, and everything else that represents the worst parts of 8- and 16-bit platform gaming.All you have are a red cape, a small gun, and a Double Jump. You also have infinite lives, and you will need every single one of them.Get the game here, and have fun dying!Many, many fangames of this have been made due to an easy-to-use engine containing the basics of the original game. A list of some more prominent ones can be found here. In addition, an official sequel called I Wanna Be the Guy: Gaiden was released on July 14th, 2012.There is a Spiritual Successor by the name of Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril, endorsed by Kayin himself. Also, The Kid is an unlockable character in Super Meat Boynote Naturally, he is the hardest character to unlock. The Kid is also a bonus boss in Pocket Rumble.First released on October 5, 2007, the game was made open source on December 30th, 2011, mainly to allow the community to try fixing its innumerable bugs. It eventually got a full, Kayin-endorsed fan-made remaster in 2020, which fixed the aforementioned bugs, made various tweaks along the way, and updated the physics to be more similar to the fangames made in its name.Contrast with You Have to Burn the Rope and compare Kaizo Mario World, Jumper and N. No intentional relation to Stinkoman 20X6, according to the FAQ. | |

| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: The bit in the Ghosts 'n Goblins area where you have to jump into a cluster of three giant cherries to make them fall sideways; by this point in the game, you know this is normally a plum crazy thing to do. | |

Soft Glass | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_1b4ead2d | comment |
Soft Glass: The glass The Guy dislodges doesn't kill you if it hits you. Fruit yes, pictures yes, the dull bits of spikes yes, but not sharp glass. Solid glass does seem fatal though, as Dracula can still kill you with his wine glass. That, or The Kid is trying too hard to stay sober. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: Few people wanted to play the game on Medium because the extra save points were marked "Wuss" and The Kid gains a cute red bow in his hair... The bow remains on the screen when you explode, too. Early versions did have a difficulty labeled "Easy"... and it killed you instantly. | |

Masochist's Meal | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_1bfe5406 | comment |
Masochist's Meal: People eat Delicious Fruit. According to Kayin, they have to get them out of trees with sticks, in order to keep from careening around for miles and killing everyone, and then they have to boil them three times to remove all the poison. The bouncing fruity engine of death seen in the Breakout section is what happens when you only boil them twice. Delicious! | |

Bilingual Bonus: The Japanese on the mock-Ikaruga warning before Mecha-Birdo says "I hate Dorayaki". Incidentally, it's also misspelled with the character for "jealousy" where it should say "fried", perhaps to match the quality of the English text. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: If you look hard enough, you might be able to find a room that doesn't do this. There are about four or so in the entire game that lack out-of-nowhere surprises and are Exactly What It Says on the Tin. It's anything but boring. In fact, the entire game is based on this trope. | |

Sequential Boss | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: The Koopa Clown Car. Unfortunately, the first two forms are so easy, it's basically just an unskippable 2 minute cutscene every time you want to fight the much harder final form. The Guy has two major forms, both divided into three phases. While these are the only two bosses with different major parts, every other boss except Mother Brain has multiple phases. Well, except for Dracula, who parodies the trope. | |

Floating Platforms: Of many types, including isolated platforms that you can or can't jump up through, platforms that sink or rise in the air as you land on them, and platforms that move side-to-side or up-and-down with no visible propulsion mechanism. Some are clouds, but there are also clouds that don't act as solid platforms. | |

The other obvious route on the first screen (upwards) leads to the iconic "falling apples" moment of the game, mentioned in the page quote. | |

Energy Weapon: There's a level based on Quick Man's infamously hard stage from Mega Man 2. And frankly, it might actually be easier than the original. Just past the Teleportation Room, there is a room where the path requires you to go down a pit. There is also a Sniffit and Bullet Bill Launcher. Guess what happens if you try to go down without killing the Sniffit. | |

Unskippable Cutscenes: If you don't want to go nuts from having to watch Mike Tyson rise up every time you die, remember, the "S" key is your friend. Perhaps just as well, considering Dracula can kill you with his goblet during the cutscene before the fight with him. However, the lengthy intros to the Kraidgief and Bowser fights can't be skipped. For the former, this is actually good, as you can shoot his head for a bit once he roars, which wouldn't happen if you skipped it. For the latter, this is due to it being a three-part boss. | |

A.I. Roulette | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_479ea2c1 | comment |
A.I. Roulette: Dracula takes this and turns it into something from the ninth circle of hell. His randomly picked attacks range from standard difficulty (i.e. hard) to beyond good and evil, and some combinations are pretty much unsurvivable. This makes him the potentially most difficult boss fight in the game (yes, he can be tougher than the Final Boss). | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Ironically, in order to make the game beatable, you have infinite lives and there are even save points. This is an almost unprecedented level of accommodation in the sidescrolling genre, but it's justified since, well, it really would be (almost) impossible without them (which is indeed exactly what Impossible mode does). To put this in perspective, Mike Tyson, one of the most difficult final bosses in video game history, is probably the easiest boss in IWBTG. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Mecha-Birdo's third weakpoint shoot at its mouth as its firing an egg is something you're probably not going to know about even after you do find it. One of the lefthand walls in the starting screen is fake and you can pass through it, but the only in-game clue is that your bullets pass through it instead of disappearing. And considering this is your first experience with the game's many death traps, you're probably not going to notice the clue — you're more likely to stumble on it by complete accident, or know about it already from watching playthroughs. | |

Unwinnable: This can occur at many parts of the game where if you fall down and can't back up or something of the similar sort, you can't progress. Luckily, the game has a suicide button... which does you no good on Impossible, which screws you over for trying to restart by wiping all your progress on the run. Also, the game makes no attempt to prevent you from saving in bad places, meaning that it is easy to unintentionally overwrite your save with an Unwinnable situation.

It's All Upstairs From Here: The path from the Clown Car fight to The Guy Industries involves a long vertical ascent including a screen with a very, very slow set of moving platforms you have to go up and down. The post-Mother Brain route also involves not one, but two vertical climbs. Later, the Tower of the Guy is an autoscrolling vertical level with a screen-long platform moving you upwards. | |

Later on, the Vic Viper sequence shows Dracula how it's really done. Also, the Tourian section plays with this in the boss room. Of course, it's really more like Rinka Hell. | |

Backtracking | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_8d2f6f03 | comment |
Backtracking: Can be kept to a minimum if you choose the right paths, but there's a few parts you have to go through twice: Two required bosses, Mother Brain and the Clown Car, both require the player to first traverse a part of the Mega Man area. There's also some overlap between the paths leading out of the Birdo and Clown Car boss fights. | |

Non Standard Game Over: Falling off in a particular screen on the path to Mike Tyson gets you killed by a plane while Mario Paint music plays. Getting killed by Mike Tyson results in the Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! "you lost" jingle. Jumping into the sword in the The Legend of Zelda section. Getting grabbed by Kraidgief results in a HOKUTO SHINKEN SPINNING PILEDRIVER! | |

Gotta Kill 'Em All: In keeping with the Metroidvania theme, you need to take out six bosses before you can enter The Guy's estate: Tyson, Bowser, Dracula, Mother Brain, Kraidgief, and Mecha-Birdo. The gateway is a shout out to Super Metroid, specifically the entrance to Tourian which is inaccessible until you remove the statue depicting the game's bosses (which won't budge until they're all beaten). Like in Super Metroid, you can tackle the bosses in any order. | |

Colony Drop: The moon falls out of the sky multiple times during the game. Dracula shoots it at you, complete with voice-acted "Here is TRUE POWER!" and a trail of fire. Surprisingly, the drops themselves aren't likely to kill you. Instead, the primary cause of death via moon is it chasing you. In fact, the one time it only falls directly down, it actually doesn't kill you. This happens because it crushes the ground beneath you, sending you to the Mecha-Birdo battle | |

Harder Than Hard: The difficulties start at "Medium" and go up through "Hard", "Very Hard", up to "Impossible". The actual game itself is always the same no matter what level you're on. The only difference is the frequency of save points (and the Easy-Mode Mockery on Medium). There are zero real save points on Impossible. You're expected to win the entire game with one life. In all literal seriousness, Impossible mode is possible, but requires quite a bit of memorization and a fair degree of benevolence from the more random luck-requiring bosses. When somebody eventually beat it, after six days of trying, only taking breaks to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom, the creator's official response was "holy crap your not serious are you". | |

Musical Spoiler: Subverted! The Minecart Madness segment has "The Moon" from the DuckTales game playing as the background music. That, combined with the full moon high in the sky, makes you think that the boss guarding the Guy Fortress will be the Moon that has plagued you so much. When it does show up, however, it's swatted aside by the real boss, Mecha-Dragon. | |

Bowser goes down to his own Bob-Omb, Wart is defeated by blowing up the Banzai Bill he tries to shoot at you, and Wily will drop metal balls that deflect your bullets upward into the Clown Car. | |

Bait-and-Switch Boss | |
| I Wanna Be the Guy (Video Game) / int_da03a529 | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Boss: Near the end, the Moon that has been plaguing you appears all huge, as if ready to engage in a final showdown, and then gets smacked aside in about two seconds by the Mecha-Dragon from Mega Man 2. Especially misleading in that the Moon was high in the sky for the entire minecart ride beforehand, and the minecart section had "The Moon" from DuckTales playing as the background music. In fact, the Moon does the same thing much, much earlier: throughout the Ghosts 'n Goblins area, the Moon appears bigger and bigger with each screen. On the screen with a Full Moon, you head under it and the Moon falls down onto you. Instead of killing you, it just breaks the floor and drops you into the Mecha-Birdo boss fight. The I Wanna Be the Guy Mugen fangame has you fight many of the bosses from the original game. One of the bosses starts with the moon, which again gets knocked aside by the Mega Man dragon. Then the moon reappears and smashes the dragon! | |

Your Head A-Splode: Inverted. Everything but your head asplodes in a glorious cascade of red pixels when you die. Only once in the entire game is this ever subverted. During the self-destruct sequence as you flee Tourian, if you take a wrong turn and end up at a dead end, you can't turn around and go back, and a Metroid shows up to eat your life away. The Kid changes color to grayscale, but you don't asplode into ludicrous gibs. | |

After defeating the six bosses and jumping down the hole, you will land on a minecart that takes you on a 10,000-kilometer journey to the Castle, with many traps along the way, including the obligatory Spikes of Doom and tricky platforming, Cheep-Cheeps, Bullet Bills, and sideways rails that tip the minecart (making it impossible to stand on) just before the end. And when you DO reach the end of the ride, the Mecha Dragon appears and starts chasing you. Once he's defeated, you will be teleported to the "Entrance of The Guy". | |
