Games with Fart Mechanics that Effect Gameplay 💨

treefroggy

On this week’s Retronauts discussing Oddworld, John Linneman said “there needs to be a list of these games [which have fart mechanics that have a direct effect on gameplay]” So here goes

Oddworld
Smash Bros. (Wario’s Fart-Down Special, as I will call it)
Kato-chan & Ken-chan カトちゃんケンちゃん
Comix Zone

I’m just getting the ball rolling here. I don’t even know where Comix Zone farts, because I haven’t played it yet, they mentioned it on the episode.

Honorable Mention: Alec’s fart in the prologue(?I think) chapter of Mother 3 is iconic and one of the best video game farts of all time due to it’s nonchalant comedic timing.

The onea that immediately springs to mind is Gon’s fart attack in Tekken 3 and Gori’s fart attack in Live A Live’s prehistoric era. Kazooie also poops eggs in Banjo-Kazooie too (it’s definitely pooping because of the fart sound that accompanies it).

I want to say that there’s a bunch of them in fighting games but I can’t recall any of them other than Tekken 3. I want to say there’s one in Street Fighter IV but I can’t picture it.

If fart attacks count, a bunch of fighting games tick that enviable box. I am pretty sure the OG was Earthquake in 🇯🇵Samurai Spirits / 🇺🇸Samurai Shodown.

Boogerman has a fart attack, I believe when your gas gauge is full (or partially full) you press down and the burp button and you fart.
Chaos (and Blizzard?) from Primal Rage has a fart attack that never failed to crack me up as a kid.
I’m pretty sure Postal 2 has a puke button and, I haven’t played them, but I’m willing to bet Postal 3 and 4 have a fart button.
Also, Rikishi’s stinkface in the WWE games.

I want to say that one of the characters from the Primal Rage games had a series of fart projectiles. That’s just off the top of my head though so it might not be correct.

Edit: I just saw mtvcribs post and they mention them as well.

yeso

thank you, was just about to point out that boogerman has a fart action

@treefroggy Powerful thread idea here.

There might be more in the Power Instinct series, but the one I know for sure is Power Instinct 5 where old man Kanji has one.

Look around the 3:20 mark in this video.

Important topic that I’m glad we’re now discussing. Here’s a couple off the top of my head:

Primal rage:

stimpy’s invention:

boogerman:

also I don’t think the comix zone fart affects gameplay to my recollection? I think it happens if you hit down 10 times or something like that and it just plays an animation.

[edit] you have to duck more times than I recalled but it does not affect gameplay indeed.

Where’s the Playdate’s fart factory game? Why can’t I crank that crane to fart everywhere I go at my heart’s content? What is that console even good for?

I feel this deserves honorable mention, though it is not expressly a fart.

exodus not a fart nor a pee, but a secret third thing only scottish people know how to do

treefroggy my grandfather used to do a rhyme, which he would say, scottishly:

"a burp is a gust of wind
coming from the heart
but when it takes a downward course,
it’s known as a…"

and then he would stop and then i would say “fart” he’d go “AWWWWW” like he was jokingly disappointed with me for saying the nasty word. good bit! he never hipped me to the secret third thing though.
