The goo is so slippery that the Monks can only comically run in place and trip on top of one another while Jake pulls out a folding chair and watches the hilarity before him. *** During the Crystal Hoard cutscene, Jake manages to stop a monk hoard's pursuit by lobbing a bucket of goo on the floor. Jake uses the confusion of the moment to make his getaway. Before they can even figure out where Jake ran off to, a second monk comes in, to which Jake sticks out his foot to make him trip comically onto his face. *** The Lost City of Ur cutscene has Jake evade a monk's chase by hiding in a ''very obvious'' hidey hole that you can see him squeezed into, but it ends up actually working and confuses the poor monk. *** In the Fungus Delvings cutscene, the titular character Jake Peril is seen picking up a bomb and bowling it down the ground like a bowling ball towards a group of clueless monks. ** ''Lode Runner: The Legend Returns'' comes with some rather humorous cutscenes that play in between world transitions. * FandomEnragingMisconception: Often misspelled "Load Runner" (possibly after the computer commands to Load the game, then Run it) the game is actually named after the (mother)lode of gold. !!
