In 2001, Shrek was released, and as with most media, it got a tie-in game released to coincide with it. Taking place after the movie, the game revolves around Shrek going on a quest to save his recently wedded wife, Fiona, from the clutches of the evil Merlin. Originally released for the Xbox, the game was ported to the Nintendo GameCube nearly a year later as Shrek: Extra Large.As a historical footnote, the Xbox version of the game was the first video game to use deferred shading in its graphics.

Canon Foreigner: Any character who isn't Shrek, Fiona, the Magic Mirror, or Gingerbread Man. Humpty Dumpty appears in one level, a decade before his introduction to the films.

Heroic Mime: Shrek himself: the narrator occasionally speaks for him, but he doesn't say a word in-game and only grunts.

Easter Egg
 Shrek (Video Game) / int_29a39f6
comment
Easter Egg: Managing to fall out of bounds in Extra Large results in the player being trapped in a room that is an accurate recreation of what the inside of a GameCube looks like beneath the disc drive. The implication is that Shrek literally fell out of the game and is now trapped inside your console. Ending up here softlocks the game, with both cheats and the pause menu, requiring a hard reset to escape.

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Implemented as a game mechanic. Shrek can beat up enemies all he likes, but he can never do anything more to them than knock them out temporarily.

Adapted Out: Donkey is completely absent, despite being a key character in the movie. He does appear on the boxart of the GameCube version, as mentioned below.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Shrek (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Merlin is the Big Bad here, and years later in Shrek the Third he'd appear as a benevolent (if kooky) supporting character who helps out Shrek. Prince Charming (known as the Crown Prince in Extra Large) also appears, and the only similarity between him and the one introduced in Shrek 2 is that both are Prince Charmless. This game is the only game directly based on a Shrek movie neither published or developed by Activision, unless you count the Puss in Boots game published by THQ. While TDK Mediactive did publish other Shrek titles, they were essentially spin-offs. Most of the characters from the movies barring Fiona, the Magic Mirror and Shrek himself are absent, and Shrek himself is a Heroic Mime who isn't voiced by his substitute actor Michael J. Gough.

Disc-One Final Boss: The Ice Queen is set up as the main antagonist early on, only to be defeated and seemingly killed by Shrek towards the end of the fourth level, leaving Merlin to take over as the main Big Bad.

Big Bad Ensemble: Merlin and the Ice Queen both act as powerful villains, though the Ice Queen is killed by Shrek around midway through the game, allowing Merlin to take over as the main Big Bad.

comment
Lightning Bruiser: A rather ridiculous example. For some reason, Shrek can run like an Olympic sprinter, Wall Jump, and maneuver in ways that the canon Shrek could never be expected to do. Later platformers rectified this by restricting his speed to a more reasonable degree.
