Shockwave Stomp: Your Vortex Ring is essentially an undersea equivalent of one.It is a shocking contrast to the sapphire reefs that all previous levels have been, and fitting that it belongs to a level where Mars is severely injured and the heroes fail to save someone for the first time. Red Filter of Doom: The Plastic Beach level has entirely clay-red water, implying that all the building vehicles lying around churned up the soil.One Hitpoint Wonder: Getting hit instantly resets Jupiter to the previous checkpoint.Combined with how dark some of them are, it can be very difficult to figure out where to go next. Now, Where Was I Going Again?: The levels are big, with multiple branching paths in all directions.and no map.Shells are orange, spikes are pink, and tunnel walls are green-spotted. Notice This: Key items and structures glow when highlighted with echolocation.Monumental Damage Resistance: The Statue of Liberty is still standing, even though it is submerged to the point you get to swim right up to the Statue's face, with only the torch still sticking out above the water.

She's on her own for the next part of the level, unable to do anything but run and hide from the machines blocking her path.

Injured Player Character Stage: In Plastic Beach, Mars is badly injured by collapsing rocks, and decides to.abandon Jupiter, for some reason.Green Aesop: Besides the game showing the consequences of runaway global warming, it also portrays plastic pollution and the damage being done by the leftover machines.A Father to His Men: The big conch demands that you rescue all the smaller conches in the level before him(?)self.Dramatic Irony: Jupiter can swim past a defunct sign advertising whale fin soup, which she obviously cannot read.Dying Moment of Awesome: The big conch, knowing it will soon die, uses the last of its energy to empower Mars.Cutscene Power to the Max: In a cutscene, the protagonists jump out of the water, which they cannot do in actual gameplay.Of course, said oceans are still choked with trash, and it's noted that the ocean has only recovered at all because of massive amounts of time and effort, but it's easy to ignore that and conclude that the ocean is strong enough to bear any amount of pollution. Broken Aesop: Limit pollution, ye thoughtless humans, for the future oceans poisoned by it are.gorgeous? In some ways they're better than the oceans of today, what with the brightly tattooed wildlife.
