| Zool (Video Game) | comment |
Zool is a video game originally produced for the Amiga by Gremlin Graphics in 1992. It was intended as a rival to Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. It was heavily hyped upon its initial release, including being bundled with the newly launched Amiga 1200. In 2000 the game was re-released as part of The Best of Gremlin compilation.Zool is a Gremlin Ninja from the Nth dimension sent to Earth. To complete his ninja training, he has to pass seven worlds filled with enemies.A sequel, Zool 2, was released in 1993, while a remake of the first game titled Zool: Redimensioned is released in 2021.Not to be confused with Zuul. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Zool (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Specifically of the Unexpected Shmup Level variety, as the Bonus Stage in the original Amiga version sees Zool piloting his spaceship through an R-Type style space shooter, in contrast to the usual platform style levels seen elsewhere in the game. | |

The Ghost | |
| Zool (Video Game) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: The main villain of the series, Krool, was never actually seen in person, let alone fought. The latest Updated Re-release, Zool Redimensioned, has Krool attacking from afar you during the last boss fight with Cactus Jake, but you still only see his a projection of his glowing eyes. | |

Distaff Counterpart: Zool 2, the sequel, lets you play either as Zool or his (girlfriend? sister? female clone?) Zooz. The two have slightly different abilities. | |

| Zool (Video Game) / int_72b8af59 | comment |
Stealthy Mook: The sentient drums and violins walk around as if they're just doing nothing, but really they're trying to kill Zool, making it difficult for him to spot the bows being fired from violins or drumsticks. | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
| Zool (Video Game) / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: It's never clarified in the game itself whether the various enemies of the Sweet World, Music World, Tool World, Toy World and Fairground World are villainous, working for a boss In-Universe, or just citizens of the domains going about their day who happen to try and stop Zool who crash-landed in their universe. | |

Harmless Villain: The jellies in the Sweet World are lethal, but easy to defeat in the game and don't have skills of larger threats in later levels of the game. | |

Minimalist Cast: Zool is the sole character, no supporting cast unlike other platformers. Even the supplementary material just shows him in the 1992 manual. | |

Invincible Villain: The violins of the Music World ricochet Zool's bullets off them and are extremely hard to kill as a video game boss, but this is zig-zagged in that takes a lot of firepower to kill them off. | |

Incidental Villain | |
| Zool (Video Game) / int_a9c5d671 | comment |
Incidental Villain: The walking drums and violins of the Music World levels are really just going about their day-to-day business and are only attacking Zool because he's an intruder in their world; they're technically, not evil, and come closer to seeing him as a hostile enemy. In the Fairground World, the sentient bags of popcorn are only trying to kill Zool because, again, he's seen as an intruder in their world. | |

Mascot with Attitude | |
| Zool (Video Game) / int_bc53f09e | comment |
Mascot with Attitude: Zool is a parody/Pastiche of the concept, although he's not actually designed to look "cool", instead he's a gremlin ninja alien. However, he doesn't have the Funny Animal, Totally Radical or Hurricane of Puns traits, and he's the sole character, with no supporting cast. | |

| Zool (Video Game) / int_e38268b5 | comment |
Helpful Mook: These are of the Accidentally Assisting type. In the Tool World, the Animate Inanimate Object drills can actually benefit Zool, but it takes some figuring out how, while the Fairground World levels feature hammers that can be useful in certain situations, but are equally as lethal. | |

Likable Villain: Some of the game's bosses, which may seem generic by a platformer game standards are pretty unusual; sentient drums and violins in the Music World, and the bags of popcorn in the Fairground World, if only due to their Non-Malicious Monster nature and comedy value. | |

Non-Malicious Monster: There are quite a few: In the Music World, sentient drums and violins which walk around the platforms.
