Workin' Stiff and Friends: Mega Party GAME$!

**Workin' Stiff and Friends: Mega Party GAME$!** is a quiz game made and programmed on Scratch by John Tvs.

## Overview

The game is about Party Phil, a puppet host who hosts a quiz show about **Workin' Stiff and Friends** that ends up to be a disaster.

## Gameplay

The gameplay of the game is very simple, since the game was developed on Scratch. The player must first accept a Disclaimer screen, then, the player must choose a character by clicking on the character that they want to play as on the character selection screen. The characters who are "playable" are Workin' Stiff, Workin' Hard, Workin' Lazy, Ronald McDonald, BugGuy, Joker and Yusuke Kitagawa, BonziBUDDY, Jimmy Valmer, Timmy Burch, Terry Bogard, Nightcrawler, Rikuo Pintura, and the Wheelie Scooter. The player then gets took to Party Phil, who proceeds to ask the player questions about the show. The player must answer the questions incorrectly to proceed in the game so that Party Phil can become angry.

Party Phil then asks the player questions in his "party chamber" about why the player betrayed him. If all the questions are answered, the player will then have take down Phil with Wario in a battle, then, if the player wins, the game ends by saying

> "Congratulations! Thanks for joining the party!"
>
>

The player is then told that they unlocked an "extra hard mode", but they are then told that statement was only a joke. After that, the player is given a chance to play the game again.

### Alternate Ending

If the player chooses to answer any of the three questions about the 3 main characters correctly, they will be took to an alternate version of the ending where Party Phil congratulates the player for answering the question right. He then takes the player to the same ending screen, but this time, the narrator is in shock that the player didn't answer what the questions incorrectly. And thus, one of three things can happen.

#### Re-Selection

If the player continues on as usual, the narrator will tell the player that a special gift is ahead of them; the ability to select your character again. The player is took back to the introduction sequence, but no narration is played until later points in the game.

#### "Party Chamber"

If the player's answer contains Party Phil's name, the narrator tells the player that they aren't free from their consequences, and that the narrator will send them to the party chamber. The game then continues on as usual.

#### Freebie Ending

If the player's answer contains Wario's name, the narrator will be upset and will ask why the player brought up Wario. He says to the player that he didn't know what he was doing when he made the game, and then he will ask to himself why BugGuy isn't on the ending screen, only for him to answer his own question by saying that BugGuy never gets up out of his chair. The narrator, now being very upset with the player, starts up the ending anyways.
