Vectorman is a 1995 Run-and-Gun game developed by Blue Sky Software and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis.Well, it looks like the environmentalists were right. In the year 2049, Earth has become inhospitable to human life, thanks to all the littering and pollution, forcing humanity to escape to space in order to find new homes to inhabit. They leave mechanical "Orbots" behind on Earth, tasking them with cleaning up the planet for their return.Raster, a high-level Orbot who watches the cleanup through a planetwide computer network, is accidentally attached to a working nuclear bomb by a lesser Orbot and subsequently goes insane, becoming an evil dictator named Warhead. He declares himself ruler of Earth, brainwashes all of the other Orbots, and begins preparing to execute any humans who dare return to Earth... not so fast!Enter Vectorman, a humble Orbot in charge of cleaning up toxic sludge by discharging it into the sun, and since he was off-planet at the time of Warhead's takeover, he was not affected by his brainwashing. As he lands on Earth after his last trip, he finds chaos and confusion. Being the only Orbot left capable of challenging Warhead's rule, Vectorman takes it upon himself to destroy Warhead and restore peace to the Earth, destroying as many of Warhead's followers as he can.In the 1996 sequel, Vectorman 2, having successfully defeated Warhead and put an end to his tyranny, Vectorman immediately resumes his sludge-cleaning duties. While on a routine garbage run, his barge is shot down by a mysterious missile. Evacuating the barge and descending down to the surface, he finds himself on the outskirts of a seemingly abandoned research facility overrun by a horde of mutant insects with unpleasant designs on the planet. Vectorman must find the intelligence controlling them and kill it to save the Earth yet again.Part of the games' appeal was the entire design of the "Orbots" themselves - characters made out of several individual sprites (which, as the name indicates, were mostly spherical in nature) that could be rearranged in a variety of different ways. The gameplay played this up, allowing Vectorman to transform into a variety of different forms, arranging his orb sprites so that he resembled things like scorpions or tanks instead of a humanoid, each form having their own gameplay quirks (or even entire stages dedicated to them).A third game for the PlayStation 2 was planned, but was ultimately cancelled. Since then, Vectorman's only appearances have been in various Genesis/Mega Drive compilations and—of all places—as an unlockable character in a mobile port of The House of the Dead: OVERKILL. | |

This also happens in both games whenever Vectorman's sprite changes palette due to lighting, e.g. becoming dark when in shadow or being brightly lit by something nearby. The palette swapping of these things may have been intentional, or it may be a Good Bad Bug. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Vectorman (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: The first game uses several palette-swapped versions of the first level's tileset in subsequent levels. Can also be done to Vectorman himself in the second game by allowing him to get hit by a Paintbug. What's interesting about this is that whenever Vectorman's palette changes, so do those of the extra life icons (tiny versions of Vectorman) and any health items in the stage (spheres that share Vectorman's palette). This also happens in both games whenever Vectorman's sprite changes palette due to lighting, e.g. becoming dark when in shadow or being brightly lit by something nearby.

Mini-Game Credits: In the first game, you can move Vectorman around the startup "Sega" screen. You can even damage it. It even functions as a sort of level skip. Bump into the logo and shoot it enough times and you get a letter-catching minigame. Catch enough and you can start the game on later levels. | |

A Winner Is You: The ending of Vectorman 2. Also, while a lot of other games don't have much fanfare for clearing a level, this game takes it to the extreme, displaying a very simple score count and immediately moving on to the next level, and can be mashed through so fast the game's score glitches out. | |

Funnel Cloud Journey: In the first game, the final stage (aptly named "Twist and Shout") and Final Boss battle involves being sucked up a tornado, dodging and/or blasting furniture, before reaching the top of the funnel cloud, where you balance on roofs while shooting Warhead. A more subdued version in Level 18 of the sequel (named "Shout and Twist") takes place in a desert with a tornado raging in the background, blowing you around while you move. | |

You can actually control him fully here and there's a semi-hidden TV in the top right that has a smart bomb you can use to short out the logo, as well as a level skip minigame you can trigger. Vectorman nudges the letters in the word "Genesis" on the box art. | |

Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The first game has two examples. The first one, "Day 4: Absolute Zero" combines this trope with Under the Sea, as Vectorman is at the bottom of an iceberg and must climb his way up to the top. Once he reaches the top, he must battle a robotic pelican and a robotic polar bear. The second, "Day 5: Arctic Ridge" has Vectorman battle enemies as he makes his way through an arctic pipeline. | |

Punny Name | |
| Vectorman (Video Game) / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: Many of the level names are nods to (or puns on) '90s pop culture. Raster and Vector are graphics types. Raster is things like photographs, videos, etc, and vector is CGI dots-and-lines. Raster graphics break up into pixels when viewed too closely/blown up too big; vectors don't. The villain (originally) being named Raster before getting too big for his breeches and fighting the incorruptible protagonist Vector, may be a reference to this. | |

Vector Game: Subverted. The whole reason behind the game's title is because it looks like a vector game. But, ironically, the game actually didn't use vector graphics, but rather pre-rendered 2D sprites similar to Donkey Kong Country. His initial rival, "Raster," is named for an inversion of this. | |

Chiaroscuro: Quite a few environments feature intense contrasts in lighting. Vectorman's sprite darkens or brightens to reflect this. Under the right circumstances, just using the Arm Cannon can generate a dramatically half-lit sprite. | |

Hornet Hole: It's not really a beehive, but levels 21-22 of the second game take place in some kind of egg-filled insect nest complex, which also has some Eternal Engine shades. The eggs that hatch contain enemies from every part of the game. | |

Floating Limbs: The Orbots' limbs consist of floating orbs. As an animation for leaning on a wall, Vectorman in particular can pop out two orbs on its arm, and juggle them with the hand on that arm before tossing them back in position. | |

In the first game, the final stage (aptly named "Twist and Shout") and Final Boss battle involves being sucked up a tornado, dodging and/or blasting furniture, before reaching the top of the funnel cloud, where you balance on roofs while shooting Warhead. | |

Harder Than Hard: "Insane" really can be, given the one life and three hits (those can be gone in a flash). "Wicked" for the second game fills this slot better, thanks to the overhard enemies. | |
