## Story

After Juliet Starling's last triumph, scientist Dr. Pattrick has experimented an escort for the denizens of San Romero from the past to a hole in the fabric of time and space to the present. Juliet senses a great power emanating from San Romero High School and goes to its front park. The power has been revealed to be another zombie outbreak, which leads to Juliet fighting off hordes of undead on her way to meet her boyfriend, Nick Carlyle. When she arrives, Nick is rescued by a rescue helicopter pilot. However, a duo of zombies enters the helicopter and one of them bites Nick, leading Juliet decapitating his head after he falls out of the helicopter. After Nick discovers he is somehow still alive, despite being a severed head, Pattrick orders him and Juliet to rescue his past self. Juliet steps through a rift to stop the zombie outbreak from taking over the multiverse in order to seal the rifts.

Juliet arrives in the outskirts in Jackass, Arizona, where the first Dark Purveyor, Josey (representing funk), has survived and warns her that he will not lose this time and tells her about her preparations for his kawaii metal show with his IFO of Mass Percussion. By the time she arrives, the show has been crashed when Juliet defeats Josey and sends him back to the Rotten World again.

Juliet hunts down the remaining Purveyors, while being helped by her sisters Cordelia and Rosalind. Juliet encounters Captain Zombeard (pirate), the second Dark Purveyor, whom she duels on board his pirate ship in Pirates Cove and sends back to the Rotten World. Juliet arrives at Dragon Village to defeat Mariska (psychedelic rock), the third Dark Purveyor, and once again send her back to the Rotten World. Juliet's father Gideon arrives and takes her to a rift to Sundew Marsh, where they infiltrate a sundew-spewed bayou to rescue Rosalind, who has been captured by Sundewie (bluegrass), the fourth Dark Purveyor. Juliet defeats Sundewie and saves Rosalind.

With three Dark Purveyors left, Juliet's family all team up to enter a rift to Aurora Taiga, where Juliet defeats Gohfigger (ice dance) and sends her back to the Rotten World. The family enters a rift to the Reptile Tar Pits, where Juliet fights and kills Bernie Rubbish (prehistoric) and his pet Ninja Dinosaur, Killer K. Rool. Finally, one Dark Purveyor is left; when Juliet fights and kills the seventh and final Dark Purveyor, Doc (trance), in Terrapolis, a zombie demon named Aniit Mater betrays the Starling family and manages to prevent time from flowing and unstabilize space. However, Pattrick shows up and opens a rift to the Milky Way's Orbit, which him and the Starling family enter.

Juliet battles Aniit Mater, and he defeats her, putting her unconscious, but she is awakened and contacted by the past Dr. Pattrick, who is now a ghost because he has been killed by the demonic zombie, and gives her advice. Juliet goes from rift to rift and breaks into the area where Aniit Mater has defeated her. Juliet fights him again and kills Aniit Mater, sealing all time-space disruptions. Nick learns from the past Pattrick's ghost that it has been decided his selfless sacrifice still grants him new life, with a new body. Nick is resurrected in the past Pattrick's body, but neither he nor Juliet really care. Together, Nick and the Starling family make their way to paradise for spring break. Should the player save all available dimension residents during the course of the game, Juliet's vacation will go swimmingly. If the player allows one or more dimension residents to die, however, Juliet finds a contract attached to her chainsaw and asks who put it there.

## Items and objects

### Items

 Lollipops | Candies attached to a candy stick. Using it restores Juliet's health.

### Power-ups

New to *Lollipop Chainsaw 2*, power-ups known as Interdimensional Lollipops double the amount of bars in Juliet's health meter when used. If Juliet loses all health in the extra meter, they cannot be restored without using the same Interdimensional Lollipop or another. The power-up meter returns to just the normal health when Juliet completes the stage, even if at full health. The player can store a maximum of five of each power-up. The only power-ups that can neither be stored, evolved, nor powered up are the Mega Lollipop and the Mega Interdimensional Lollipop.

Base power-ups
 Pom-Pom Plant Lollipop | Pom-Pom Plant Juliet | Using the Pom-Pom Plant Lollipop transforms Juliet into Pom-Pom Plant Juliet, which turns her pom-poms sundew-like. Tapping  makes Juliet use her pom-poms to decapitate zombies with ease.

### Evolved power-ups

Juliet can spend Gold and Platinum Medals to have her power-ups upgraded at Chop2Shop.zom. Each power-up has two upgraded forms.

### Other power-ups

Other power-ups

Four years later, the sequel, entitled *Lollipop Chainsaw 2*, was teased during the Nintendo Switch 1 announcement presentation on March 28, 2024 and was announced at the Nintendo Direct on September 10, 2024. According to Gunn, the sequel will have a new story and gameplay elements, inspired by *Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time*, *Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury*, and *Kirby and the Forgotten Land*, including new power-ups like the Mega Juliet power-up and the ability to evolve them.
