Meanwhile, a small army of self-appointed junior Jokerz has turned the streets of Gotham into a barmy battlefield of bullets, bodies and bear traps. This video game contains examples of:
* Absurdly High Level Cap: The level cap is one thousand. This not counting the promotion mechanic so the technical level cap could be much higher than even that.
* It actually is hard cap (currently) of 1000, broken into ten 100-level promotions.
* Cluster F-Bomb: The comically-bleeped "Crass" voiceset, which includes such gems as "I'm gonna *BLEEP* in the hole I just put you in!"
* Comeback Mechanic: In an interesting twist, two of the games Rampages are triggered when you do poorly, generally dying five times without a kill.
* Fan Service: The Nimble bouncing around in her lingerie (to say nothing of the Jokerz' 'Russian Dominatrix' "Sensual" voiceset), Walking Shirtless Scene Toughs and Speedies...
* Fan Disservice: ...the massive, immensely fat Mighty and supremely paunchy Burly bouncing around in nothing but entirely-too-tiny briefs
* Fragile Speedster: The two slimmer body types, especilly the Speedy who can border on a One-Hit-Point Wonder at times.
* Hoist by His Own Petard: Enemy-deployed Trap-in-the-Box + Enemy Team + Thunder Dragon rocket = Comedy!
* Katanas Are Just Better: They can be used both defensively & offensively, they're very powerful, and, as TotalBiscuit learned, VERY deadly when used right.
* MacGyvering: A lot of weapons and gadgets in this game are made from homemade stuff like the bottle rocket launching Thunder Dragon or the ball bearing-firing Shredder.
* Mighty Glacier: The Mighty.
* The Mario : The Tough, with no real strengths or weaknesses.
* Pacifist Run: As befitting how surreal and insane a game GCI is, this can actually work -- there is even a "Psych Profile" that rewards it, giving bonus Experience for performing only "team-based" actions -- none of which involve killing enemies yourself, and the game includes many useful 'Support' items and weapons to encourage this!
* Regenerating Health: Health regenerates in this game. However, regeneration is very slow so other methods have to be used.
* Restart At Level One: The promotion mechanic, which resets your level to one and gives you a mark on your calling card.
* Upon choosing to Accept Promotion and confirming, the game pretends to glitch out and fail, much like Batman: Arkham Asylum's faux system crash, before asking the player twice more if they're really REALLY sure they want to continue.
* The Smurfette Principle: The Nimble body type is the only female model in the game, but sees a good deal of use due to being respectably fast and possessing the best jumping ability in the game, while not being as supremely vulnerable as the Speedy.
* Springs Springs Everywhere: Trampolines. Roller-skate ramps. Air-vents to lift Glider Rig wearers airborne. Even spring-loaded boots and double-jump enabling 'inflatable insoles'. Yep, this is all over the place...
* Super Heroes Packing Heat : If one has a very relaxed standard of hero..
* '"Sir": His is the path of blunt force trauma and painful but nonlethal contusion, whereas ours is the more... efficacious path of cordite and home brewed explosives.
