Retro City Rampage is a WiiWare, Play Station Network and PC (downloadable from GOG.com, Humble Bundle, and Steam) game released in October 2012; the Xbox Live Arcade version was released in January 2013, a Nintendo 3DS release (as Retro City Rampage DX) followed in February 2014. That was followed by a Nintendo Switch version in 2017.The game's original developer, Brian Provinciano, built his own homebrew engine for NES development, and started work on a Retraux demake of Grand Theft Auto III. After overcoming programming limitations by moving the game to the PC, he started adding in other various references to the characters from his childhood, including, but no doubt not limited to classic games such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Bionic Commando.As these references became more and more prevalent, Brian decided to make the game an entirely new game as opposed to a straight Retraux demake, and the result is the game that you see before you.The game also contains an awesome soundtrack by Jake "Virt" Kaufman.View the soundtrack trailer here.On November 2015, a spiritual successor titled Shakedown: Hawaii was announced. It was released in May 2019.

 Retro City Rampage (Video Game) / int_24c48358
comment
Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Graphically, the lava in Final Castle does look exactly like boiling kool-aid, but special mention goes to the moat surrounding the castle. It is pretty explicitly referred to as water, but here and nowhere else in the game, the water is a purplish red. This is not explained.

The options menu allows for changing the border around the game to look like a vintage TV, a Captain Ersatz of the Game Boy, an arcade machine, and many more. There's also an option to change the colour filter in the game itself to allow for scan lines, a monochrome display, and to simulate the displays of the NES, Atari 2600, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, three variations of MS-DOS, and Virtual Boy.

Drunk on Milk: Literally — drinking milk makes Player nauseous and heavily distorts your vision. Drinking coffee cures it instantly. It is however implied that the milk is tainted. It's always referred to as "Milk" (including the quote marks), and in portraits looks like a mug of beer.

Even Evil Has Standards: In a flashback, Player is disgusted when Sweat Bomber tells him to kill the residents of a computer store he just stole from purely for the sake of profiting off of their funerals. In general, Player doesn't seem to like committing evil acts for the sake of corporate profit.

Stylistic Suck: One of the trailers for the game, in an obvious parody of Nintendo's habit of adapting their biggest names into breakfast cereals, features several occurrences of minor Totally Radical, as well as deliberate screen distortion as if it was recorded on an old VHS tape.

Marathon Level
 Retro City Rampage (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9
comment
Marathon Level: The last set of story levels are presented as a single unbroken chain of events, giving the impression that you need to beat all of them in a single sitting. They include getting captured by the police and being forced to participate in Death Cam VHS, having to outrun the police in a monster truck to get to where Major Lee will pick you up and give you a ride to the final level, having to pile up the enemy corpses in the water to reach the entrance, opening chests to find where the key is, finding out there's no key and having to survive enemies with rocket launchers that destroy the walls until you find a hole that leads to the sewers, taking the Turtle Van for a ride through the sewers, having to go through another (thankfully brief) water level, getting bitten by a radioactive plumber and gaining Shockwave Stomp powers, returning to the actual final level from the sewer exit, smashing through the walls until you actually find the key and make it to Dr. Buttnick and defeat him, chasing him through the exploding base on a motorcycle, finding Doc Choc's time machine, chasing after it and making it to 30XX through a time portal it created and actually catching up to his time machine, using the guns Buttnick told Choc to install on it to defeat him for good. Thankfully, you can still quit playing after any "STAGE (x)" message and resume the final set of missions from that point onwards, even though it doesn't make much sense narrativewise.

comment
Virtual Paper Doll: Played with. The player can buy new hairstyles, hats, glasses, tattoos, and even visit a plastic surgeon, but because of the retro style of the game this doesn't have much effect on the the actual character model. The customizations also don't overlap (except for body tattoos, which don't change your character model at all, just your portrait) — you can get a haircut, but your hair goes back to the default if you buy some sunglasses or a hat.

Ultimately subverted as The Player, while still committing a slew of crimes over the course of the game, ends up helping the good scientist against a worse villain.

Time Travel: Happens early in the story, setting the Excuse Plot in motion. And again at the end.

Merchandise-Driven: Parodied in one of the trailers. The game has a licensed breakfast cereal. Guess who that's a nod to?

Infinity +1 Sword: The Lightgun, which can destroy anything in a single shot. It's available after finishing the story mode. It also makes the sound of an NES Zapper trigger, making it the only entity in the game that doesn't make an 8-bit sound.

comment
Chekhov's Skill: Can be created if Player spends some time playing Virtual Meat Boy, which involves him trying to avoid the missles launched by the final boss until the fuel runs out. The final boss fight against Dr. Von Buttnik is fought in almost exactly the same manner, except that instead of running a timer down, you have to shoot him down with your own missiles.

Take That!: One of the subplots of the story mode involves greedy video game corporations. The game is not afraid to veil said corporations as thinly as possible. It also doesn't hesitate to mock the idea of video games brainwashing people into becoming more violent. JAILBREAK SIMULATOR!

All Just a Dream
 Retro City Rampage (Video Game) / int_ea85d6ea
comment
All Just a Dream: Used twice, both times a Shout-Out to the ending of Super Mario Bros. 2. The first comes after A Taste of Power in the game's beginning. The second happens in the ending, after defeating the final boss. Before dropping Doc Choc off in the past, Player goes to the gun store and buys a Lightgun, the most powerful weapon in the game. Immediately after this, the game cuts to Player in his bed, as if the entire game, having taken place in the past, was just a dream. He wakes up to a news report of an APB on him, with massive forces waiting at his doorstep. He replies, "Lock n' load!!" with the Lightgun in hand, in a subversion. After the credits roll, the game resumes.

Game Within a Game: The in-universe arcade games, "Virtual Meat Boy", "Bit.Trip.Retro City", and "Epic Meal Time: Epic Might Test". The latter is an implementation of Mortal Kombat's "Test Your Might" minigame. There's also "Super Stomp Pals", though that's not playable.
