Giant Monkey Kombat Robot or tiny, hat-wearing monkey piloting Smirks' "The Machine"? Different fighting styles for sure. Oh my goodness. That's what hat monkey is for. Don't you get it? Don't you see? Hat monkey is there for Monkey Kombat training at Smirk's gym. Hat monkey is a Monkey Kombat expert that makes The Machine more than a match for the giant monkey from Escape. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible, but Secret is no slouch. Here we have six chickens: A further three here: And the chicken shop could conceivably contain an infinite number of chickens but I think we’ve established previously that sort of thing isn’t an acceptable data point: So a total of nine chickens. Sadly I don’t have time to look at the other games just now. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vainamoinen Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 ... if we're counting live chicken heads displayed on screen, the count for TSoMI is zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I do not distinguish. Chickens can function without a head anyway. Apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vainamoinen Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 OBJECTION A chicken can run for three to five seconds in "head off" mode, but only if the escape command was previously executed in "head on" mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your honor, I'd like to introduce a new piece of evidence: Mike the Headless Chicken Who, unlike every chicken shown in Secret, was both headless and alive for a sustained period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not admit this new evidence to the trial. It is the court's understanding that Mike was the result of a failed beheading attempt that left the chicken with almost its entire brain stem intact.

BaronGrackle Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Guybrush's rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle is treated as a dead chicken in the demo, and referred to as a dead chicken by Guybrush when speaking on at least one occasion. Could this chicken be both rubber and dead? Was it ever rubber and alive? Was it first alive and fleshy, but then transformed into dead and rubber? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have this particular honking sound effect in my mind, that makes me think of ducks or geese. I guess I should try and replay the first two before... holy shit-- NEXT MONDAY!!!! 😮😮😮 Edited September 12, 2022 by ThunderPeel2001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yeah the sounds are weird. I had a listen... It is a cluck or weird spring sort of noise in most versions, but the Amiga specifically has more of a duck honking sound (not really a quack). I’m also informed that the audio effect refers to a duck sound but is mapped to a cluck event. It’s possible that akin to how the Special Edition developers pulled out and recorded all dialogue lines, they simply pulled out the sound effect names for the Amiga port and put what they expected they should sound like in. I also noticed a weird anomaly with the CD versions. On Sega it uses a proper-sounding cluck effect, but on PC the same sound is weirdly slowed down and sounds unnatural. Perhaps to enhance the ghost effect. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vee hav an interesting der kwestshun for you [...] " Well, good news. Gunther says that plastination is possible with chicken as well. He's just not too certain about the sound effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummbuddy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Do we count El Pollo Diablo (the painting) or the Guybrush incarnation? Again, that plot point was left unsettled. Perhaps he still haunts Puerto Pollo, freeing the chickens from Blondebeards grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
