ReBoot, or sometimes referred to as ReBoot: Countdown to Chaos, is an action adventure game based on the animated series of the same name, released for the Sony PlayStation on March 18th, 1998.Set before the events of the show's first episode, the game follows Bob as he travels around the many areas of Mainframe to mend tears, spawned by the actions of Megabyte and Hexadecimal, before the disrupted energy clumps destroy the entire city. Players navigate Bob by riding on his trademark Zipboard through the stages, as objectives mostly consist of mending the tears as quickly as they could before the timer ticks down to zero. Depending on how fast the player completes the level, two different outcomes can sometimes happen at the end of said levels. Which will, in turn, determine the type of ending received after clearing the game.

Darker and Edgier: The plot of this game, especially when compared to the first and second seasons of the show, is noticeably darker than the show proper, likely due to the crew not being hindered by the censors of television. On top of the All-Loving Hero Bob wielding a freaking GUN to mow down enemies with, there are many failure cutscenes that result in the Guardian's death, Mainframe either being under Megabyte's control or being completely nuked by Hex, and even Enzo suffering badly upon the player's actions, just to name a few.

Multiple Endings

comment
Multiple Endings: Alongside the many outcomes of the game's stages, the overall ending changes depending on the player's actions during the Final Boss. The 'Failed' ending occurs if Bob is too late to defeat Hex before her swarm of tears reduces Mainframe down to a simple pile of debris. As Bob stands alongside an unconscious (and presumably dead) Dot upon the debris, a bot showcasing a recording of Phong arrives to hand the Guardian a 'Revert Command' to use to go back to alter the past. The 'Bad' ending, listed above, occurs if the player receives a bad outcome on at least one level before Hex's defeat. And the 'Good' ending, also listed above, occurs upon achieving all good outcomes on all levels before Hex's defeat.

Mythology Gag: This actually isn't the first time Bob is wielding a gun. In the episode "The Tiff", Bob acquires one during the game he and Dot are trapped in. But in the episode, the gun only shoots bubbles. The game, however? Actual bullets. Enzo's appearance during the Game Over scene in Chapter 5 is similar to his appearance during 'Identity Crisis, Part 2.'

Ax-Crazy: Hexadecimal, even more so than in the show. Just before the final boss fight, she tries tricking Bob by disguising herself as Dot, in the hopes of winning his love. When Bob seen through this ruse and ripped her 'Dot' face off, however... Just the many times she came close to utterly destroying Mainframe proves how unhinged the aptly-named 'Queen of Chaos' is here. Oh, and lest we forget what happens should Bob lose his last life during her final boss fight...

The Bad Guy Wins: Several Game Over scenes depict Megabyte or Hexadecimal successfully taking over Mainframe. The 'Failed' ending of the game has Hexadecimal succeeding in reducing all of Mainframe to a singular piece of rock.

Have a Nice Death
 ReBoot (Video Game) / int_d933263
comment
Have a Nice Death: Failure to complete some levels will treat the player to a grim cutscene showcasing the extent of Bob's failure to the T. Some examples include: Losing all lives in Chapter 4 showcases an enslaved Dot, Enzo, and a nullified Bob standing near Nibble's Diner as Megabyte welcomes the player to Megaframe. Failing to defeat Clash in Chapter 5 will result in Enzo, now a teenager, becoming mind-controlled by Megabyte. Hex's chaotic orb successfully striking the core of Mainframe, thus causing its complete destruction, should said orb not be stopped in Chapter 6. Lose all your lives during the boss fight with Megabyte, and you'll be treated to a scene where he grabs a lifeless Bob by his neck as he taunts him. Getting a Game Over on the Final Boss results in Hex stuffing Bob and Dot's corpses for display.
