| Madagascar (Video Game) | comment |
A series of three tie-in games set in the world of Dreamworks' Madagascar. Unlike the Shrek tie-ins , which had several spin-offs in different game genres, this was restricted to the Action-Adventure games with modest connections to the plot of the films. A notable feature was the extensive focus on various minigames (Escape 2 Africa had around two dozen for instance, which were rarely repeated) and the ability to control a large number of characters. Besides the four protagonists of the films, Escape to Africa had sequences giving player control of the penguins, The first game had attained mildly positive reviews due to these features, but as the gameplay has failed to significantly improve over time, the review scores went down, and Madagascar 3: The Video Game had received largely negative reviews. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The various minigames/setpieces are so frequent it would be too difficult to list them all, especially since many are foreshadowed in the prologue on the actual Madagascar island. One notable example is when as the penguins, you’re asked with fishing out items from the tourists’ shack with the fishing rod. | |

Springy Spores | |

Springy Spores: The giant mushrooms in "Jungle Banquet" and are the focus of one segment to obtain one of the dishes. The following level, "Coming of Age", sees Alex, at that point a Rogue Protagonist, jumping up on many mushrooms to try to catch Melman and Mort. There is a minigame segment in "Marty to the Rescue" where Mort must bounce on mushrooms to collect fruit for Wilbur. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: All four characters regularly do this when left alone for a modest period of time, complaining directly to the player. The amount of phrases you can get is hilarious. Gloria's in particular are hilarious. Melman has some choice words for the player if they keep trying to make him go into the mud slides scattered around "Jungle Banquet": In "King of New York", you can have Marty run on the treadmill in his pen. If you leave him there idle, he goes from subtly nudging the player to stop by telling the player that they should maybe check out the rest of the zoo, to declaring "animal abuse", to outright yelling for Alex to help him. He will eventually bribe the player with three gold monkey coins that appear near the treadmill, worth 30 total. You're actually required to do this to 100% the level. The same level has Alex tell Marty that "we're up to speed on jumping" when Marty tries to teach Alex on how to jump, effectively saying he already knows how and doesn't need a tutorial to tell him that. Even the Zoohunter gets in on this at the end of the second level. He remarks to Marty that he kept telling the security guards at the zoo to tighten up security, but "they had a budget". He promptly calls three security guards into formation to correct this. In the second-to-last level, Marty questions why Mort suddenly went from being right beside him to the end of a cave. Mort's response is that "the plot called for it". | |

Adaptation Expansion: To allow for more levels, the game goes into detail about events the movie glossed over (Marty's escape from the zoo, and Marty's quest to find Alex after he goes feral) and also adds in some new story elements (how the New Yorkers helped the lemurs set up their party, Melman and Gloria searching for a steak tree to feed Alex, and Marty, Gloria and Melman finding objects to reconstruct the liberty statue) in the process. | |

| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_259064d9 | comment |
Fowl-Mouthed Parrot: Alex encounters one of these early on in "Mysterious Jungle", a parrot who sends him to get some pearls (despite having a whole pile of them already) in exchange for the information on where his friends went, and after doing so, initially tells him to scram before saying they went over by the waterfall. Identical looking parrots appear in the seventh and ninth levels as a generic enemy who peck the playable characters to inflict damage on them. He gets chased by a swarm of bees in the credits. | |

Small Name, Big Ego: If you listen to what sailors are saying in the "Penguin Mutiny", one of them is arguably this trope, saying that "someone with his qualifications shouldn't be sweeping the deck" and "that he should be the captain". | |

At the end of the final level, he finally arrives and lands on the Fossa King... right after Alex has already defeated him. Marty's all too content to take credit for the rescue, regardless. | |

There Was a Door: An especially annoying example is used in the crashlanding level, where Melman is asked to clear a path for the group by riding on a boulder. It is a very frustrating mechanic as the boulder frequently rolls back at every obstacle, and once you’re done, you find out that everyone has already found the alternative entrance. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: When Skipper uses the Disgusting Public Toilets as a distraction, two other generic sailors accompany Big Louie to deal with the toilets. In actual gameplay however, one of these two sailors can be knocked out by Skipper before he activates the toilets, despite then seeming to be okay when he goes to check on them. In addition, the other sailor, whom is on a path that Skipper cannot reach due to Big Louie blocking off the path still roams the area even though he was baited into the room previously. | |

Disgusting Public Toilet | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_67624800 | comment |
Disgusting Public Toilet: Invoked in "Penguin Mutiny" when Skipper flushes all the toilets on the ship, causing them all to spurt water. This distracts nearby crewmen enough for him to sneak past. | |

Penguins Are Ducks: The penguins don't actually act this way, but the Zoohunter in the first game and many humans in the second game do refer to them as ducks (the sailors in the first game instead call them kitties), and Skipper takes offense to this. | |

And Now for Someone Completely Different: "King of New York" has a brief segment where you play as Private as he - under Skipper's orders - fishes for different objects. The level "Penguin Mutiny" has you playing as Skipper the penguin rather than Alex, Marty, Gloria or Melman. This is the only level where you play as him. "Marty to the Rescue" has one segment where you play as Mort, who has to bounce on mushrooms to collect fruit for Wilbur. | |

Stealth Expert: In "Marty's Escape", which temporarily turns the game into a Stealth-Based Game, Marty gains the ability to sneak, allowing him to crouch down as well as crawl into small spaces. Starting in "Save The Lemurs!" and then all the levels where Marty is playable afterwards, Marty is also able to slide while sneaking if the button is pressed while he is moving. For some reason, this isn't acknowledged by the game. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: If Marty gets caught by a security guard or touches the zoohunter in "Marty's Escape", the words "BUSTED BY THE MAN" appear on-screen as the character in question runs over to Marty. Levels where Melman needs to stick to higher ground will have cutscenes should he land on the ground naturally. If he touches the ground in the third level, he panics as a car comes driving towards him. Touching the lower ground or colliding with "Alex in Coming of Age" results in the now-feral lion stealing Mort from Melman and running off to eat him. "Marty to the Rescue" has several fail states, as most of the level is timed: If Marty fails to reach Mort in the first few segments, Mort will get surrounded by spiders and presumably eaten. If Mort fails to collect enough fruit or is caught by a spider during the fruit collection minigame, Wilbur will force him to do it again. | |

Edible Bludgeon: In the levels where Alex is playable post-arriving at Madagascar, Alex can collect mangoes to throw at enemies. Notably, it's the only way he can reach phase 2 of King Fossa in the final battle. The mangoes make a return in the sequel. In "Coming of Age", Melman flings coconuts and exploding durians to kill off baobab worms and to destroy their nests. Briefly in "Marty to the Rescue", Marty can kick exploding durians at spiders. King Fossa's vulture henchmen sometimes attack Alex with durians in the final battle. The vultures in "Coming of Age" also do this as a way to stop Melman from throwing coconuts at the worms. | |

Moto Moto was always pretty shallow, but in the movie, he remained faithful to Gloria during their short-lived romance. Here, however, he goes behind Gloria's back to flirt with the other female hippos, exploits her by having her gather pearls to make a necklace for him (which he only states after she's already gathered them), and actively attacks King Julien if caught with one of the other hippos. | |

Terrified of Germs | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_b503102e | comment |
Terrified of Germs: Melman's germaphobia in the films becomes a major game mechanic in the level "Jungle Banquet", where if he walks or glides into mud or mudslides, the game cuts to black then resumes gameplay with his back facing the source of the mud and him complaining about the mud. | |

"Simon Says" Mini-Game: In "Jungle Banquet", Alex must complete a variation of this. In a cave, there are four giant mushrooms which each play a different sound. The player must memorize the tune and bounce on them in the correct order to repeat it. | |

| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: While still a playable character, Marty is much less important than he was in the first game. In the first game he had two levels to himself and was the most used of the main four, while here he's only relevant for two races using his only new ability, a carrot-fueled sprint, and has lost several abilities he used to have. In particular, his kick ability only appears in select circumstances where he has to aim items. Averted in the DS version where he's one of two main playable characters, alongside Alex. The original game gave Skipper a single level featuring him as the main playable character, while here his role is taken by Private and he is relegated to an NPC. The DS version brings him back to prominence in the exclusive Penguin levels. | |

Precision F-Strike: Both subverted and played straight at separate times; it's subverted in "Marty to the Rescue" and "Penguin Mutiny" when after Wilbur pushes a boulder out of the way, Marty says he's about to "lay a can of whoopa-butt on you, Warthog!", and whenever the Zoohunter catches Skipper in his cabin or just before the last tranquilizer shoot em up in the bridge (since he already knows the penguins are there in the latter, just walking up to him or leaping onto the desks will trigger this), in the resulting fail cutscene he shouts "What the duck!" before emitting an Evil Laugh (or saying "I won't let you get away this time!") and tranquilizing him, and played straight in "New York Street Chase" when an NPC says Manhattan's "full of freakin' animals!". | |

Berserk Button: Moto Moto does not like being followed around and photographed constantly (the one time Alex had to take his picture he wasn't angry about since he wasn't having to follow him repeatedly), and will mercilessly ram King Julien, a lemur several times smaller than him, several feet back if he catches him photographing him, also often telling him to get lost when just seeing him nearby. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: The final segment of "Save the Lemurs" tasks Alex with escorting a group of lemurs down The Perfectly Safe Path while protecting them from the attacking fossa. Letting all of the lemurs get taken away results in instant death for Alex. The level can actually be completed if at least one lemur survives, however. The final segment of "Coming of Age" has Melman carry Mort across varying high platforms, while Alex, driven by hunting instincts into being a Rogue Protagonist, attempts to jump on mushrooms to reach them, also coming onto two platforms himself. Melman will have to start all over if he falls to the ground or touches Alex (triggering a fail cutscene where Alex delights in taking Mort, then snatches him to run away). | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Madagascar (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: At one point in "NY Street Chase", Gloria has to collect power cards to unlock her butt bounce ability and defeat the cops that try to force her to the ground. Normally, you're expected to get all of them as you go along the road, but if you skip the two cards before the right turn by repeatedly jumping and rolling past the obstacles, then those two cards will reappear alongside the third one after the turn. The shuffleboarding poolside map has a polar bear in a rubber ring present in the pool. The bear looks like a non-interactable background element, but it actually has a hitbox and will bounce around the pool if a puck hits it. The Escort Mission segment of Save the Lemurs has different dialogue depending on if Alex saved all the lemurs or not. If he saved all of them, Julien and Maurice will commend him for doing so, but if he only saved some of them, Maurice will mourn the death of Mort's "beloved cousin", Smort. | |

Sterility Plague: During the healing minigame as Melman, you get Julian’s red medicine that instantly destroys any kind of infestation in its area. If you use it three times, Julian will run out of it and give you the black one, which doesn’t kill anything, but instead prevents all the creatures present inside the patient from multiplying for a good period of time. | |

Super Not-Drowning Skills: Zig-zagged. Gloria still needs to get air on occasion underwater except in the DS version where she swims on the surface, similar to a real hippo (though real hippos do not need to get air as frequently as the game portrays), but she and Moto Moto are somehow able to talk underwater, which the game lampshades to point out how it shouldn't be possible. | |

Sequence Breaking: At one point in "Marty's Escape", Marty is supposed to talk to Skipper at the pipe in the wall that only the penguin can fit through, then talk to Mason and Phil the chimpanzees, then kick the janitor for a key to the next zone. It's entirely possible to just have Marty attack the janitor and skip the previous two steps, causing Skipper to automatically go through the pipe (as the sound of him entering it plays) and the chimpanzees acting as if they already talked to Marty if he does go to talk to them after getting the key. | |
