The consequences of mixing the drinks in order to (almost) kill Guybrush were downright terrifying for kids playing back in the day.

It was a hotbed for piracy during the period the game takes place.

Genius Bonus: 'Barbery Coast' is a reference to the real-life term for the coasts of North Africa, Barbary/ Berbery Coast.

He was so well-received they decided to include him in the rest of the game.

In fact, he started as an Ascended Extra the developers included him in the demo just to provide some humor while the players tried to solve a couple of the puzzles.Most of the time he has in the game doesn't serve an purpose and the player doesn't even need to talk to him, but fans found his Small Name, Big Ego so utterly hilarious that returned in the next two games. Ensemble Dark Horse: Murray is one of the most triumphant examples of this trope.More importantly, the puzzles of these two final sections were just rehashes of ones you did earlier in the game (hangover recipe and the exploding rum cask, respectively). What's more, they're notably rushed, with a significant amount of time taken up by a long and pointless exposition scene dedicated to tying up the plots of the previous games rather than that of Curse itself. You end up walking through a half-arsed parody of Disneyland, bringing a distinct shift from the piratey atmosphere from before, and the adventure and mystery of Plunder and Blood. Disappointing Last Level: Arguably the last two chapters, which have very little to do with the rest of the game's plot, forsaking the epic quest to cure Elaine and the intriguing history of Blood Island to give us an uninteresting LeChuck showdown.A few years ago, he expressed a desire to obtain the rights to the franchise, at which point he'd instead make a new game that was a direct sequel from LeChuck's Revenge, calling it 3a. Ron Gilbert, the creator of the first two games, did not work on this game, or either of its following sequels, Escape from Monkey Island or Tales of Monkey Island.However, others consider it a minor step-back from LeChuck's Revenge, for abandoning that game's more open-ended format in favor of a return to the first game's 'two island' structure, as well as the much Lighter and Softer overall tone.

Some consider it the pinnacle of the series for its gorgeous visuals, strong dialogue and voice acting, and well-balanced difficulty curve (even in the Mega-Monkey mode). Contested Sequel: A variation, since nearly everyone agrees it's a good game the question is more how good.Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: 'A Pirate I was Meant to Be' appears out of nowhere and is forgotten in the next scene.The cemetery theme is a newly arranged version of the cemetery theme from MI2, which is also pleasantly creepy.There's the Blood Island map music, outside the Goodsoup hotel, upstairs at the hotel, and the cemetery. Blood Island had a tone of good and creepy music.
