Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When squabbling siblings Zapper and Zipper end up breaking their TV's antenna in their struggle, elder Zapper has the wise idea of using his unfortunate younger brother as a makeshift signal receiver... and unwittingly ends up getting him abducted by thieving magpie Maggie in the process. Now Zapper must save the little grub from the clutches of the feathered criminal, but the journey ahead won't be an easy one...Released in November 2002* in the US and Canada; March 2003 elsewhere, Zapper was developed by Blitz Games and published by Infogrames Interactive for PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox and Microsoft Windows; a Game Boy Advance version developed by Atomic Planet Entertainment was also available.

All There in the Script
 Zapper (Video Game) / int_222969af
comment
All There in the Script: None of the multiplayer characters (also seen giving you hints throughout the game's story mode, repeated multiple times) are given names in the game proper; however, internal text strings (viewable in the game's developer menu) reveal their names to be Keith* the green one, Lugg* the blue one, Ping* the pink one, Lustre* the red one and Gadget* the robotic one. The presence of these names in the game code suggests that they were supposed to be visible on the multiplayer mode's character select screen, but were cut from the final product.

American Kirby Is Hardcore: In an amusing inversion, the North American box art◊* also used for the Australian PC release depicts Zapper with a DreamWorks Face, while on the European/Australian box art◊ (also pictured above), he sports a Determined Expression. A third variation, used as a preliminary cover for the European version before being swapped out for the final release* presumably at the last minute, as it was still used◊ on some versions as the disc label artwork, has him sporting a more blank expression. Strangely enough, European releases of the game* except for the PS2 version, which opts for the standard generic black-on-white plain text still use the American cover design on the spine.
