Happy Tree Friends Adventures 9: Ridley's Wrath

Happy Tree Friends Adventures 7 (HTFA7) is a hypothetical seventh installment of the Happy Tree Friends Adventures series. It is a PC game with the Nitnendo 64 boxart. The idea was created by Blue Tennis Ball (RabbitRiceBall).

Gameplay
Like the other HTFA games, the goal of the game is to have your Happy Tree Friend make it to the end of the level, collecting gems and shooting (or stomping on) enemies. However, all of the levels in the game, unlike prevous games, are rendered in a 3D enviorment. As she isn't captured this time around, Princess Allay is a playable character.

Players are given a third-person view and control one of the Happy Tree Friends (see Characters for playable characters). They can move the Tree Friend in any direction, and can press the spacebar to jump.

The game is compatible with a Nintendo 64 controller with a USB port, a keyboard and mouse, an XBOX ONE controller (regular or elite), a Playstation 4 controller, or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

At any time outside levels, the player can switch between the Happy Tree Friends they currently have, allowing for more strategic options.

An air meter is also added in this game. It only shows up above the Happy Tree Friend while swimming, and if it runs out, you will start to take damage.

The game also allows for 1-4 players to play co-operativly, which makes this game the first HTFA core game to feature multiplayer.

Before the title screen, a intro video is played, similarly to Mega Man 8. The music in this intro is Silhouette, which is used as one of the Japanese openings for the Naruto anime. The intro video even parodies the Naruto opening at times. The intro video is also quite expansive, as if the player unlocks a character (excluding Flesheye), the unlocked character will appear in the opening alongside the other playable characters. Though, in all versions of the opening, the unlockable characters (sans Flippy) will be seen on the cliff at the end watching the volcano battle. The ending shot is the only hint of Flesheye being a playable character.

This game allows up to three save files to be created. The player can copy their save file to another, or delete their save progress. Note that if they desire to delete their save file, their progress in said file will be lost.

Difficulties
Before starting the adventure, the player must choose a difficulty setting. This can be changed in the options menu while on the file screen. When a difficulty setting is selected, Izzy will have a quote for each setting.
 * Best for Beginners: The very easy mode. Enemies will not appear often, and even if there were, there are rarely and tough ones.
 * "It is the easiest mode out there. I'd be happy to hold your hand!"
 * Getting a Grip: The easy mode. While there are as many enemies as there are in Normal mode, they are usually weak.
 * "That's cool, but you might need to watch your step a little."
 * Normal Mode: The normal mode for the game
 * "Hold on, we're going for a ride!"
 * Pump it Up, Bro!: The hard mode. While there are as many enemies as there are in Normal mode, they are usually tough.
 * "The hard mode? Well, prepare to stand your ground!"
 * Ready to Die: The very hard mode. Enemies will be a very common sight in this mode, and tougher enemies are common.
 * "It's a risk worth taking, depending on your taste."

Plot
One night, the evil space pirate Ridley steals the Star Crystal, and it is up to the Happy Tree Friends to get it back.

Into Bowser's Lair
"Into Bowser's Lair" features all boss fights from HTFA6 (with their levels), minus Brandy, Mecha Neena, Mecha Tacho, Mecha Dragon, and Flippy. This level also skips the Tiger General's fortress, skipping Tank CSII, Tako Trash, Big Pets, the Wily Press, and the Tiger General bosses. The first floor has the seven Master Koopas, as well as a falcon with Brandy's triple-tornado attack as well as a Tornado Kirby-like attack named Falkner. The second floor has the EX versions of the previous bosses Fliqpy and Lavare, which are robotic versions with different colors, as well as Mecha Flaky, a large robotic version of Flaky. The third and final floor features a level that has the Bowser battle.

First Floor

 * Spiked Pirate
 * Falkner
 * Fire Koopa
 * Jungle Koopa
 * Water Koopa
 * Ice Koopa
 * Ghost Koopa

Second Floor

 * Lavare-EX
 * Mecha Flaky
 * Fliqpy-EX

Special attacks
Also known in previous games as "special powers." Every character has their unique special attack, and there is no requirement toward unlocking hem. Given that they are the only way of attacking in this game, they have an unlimited amount of uses, unlike previous games.


 * Carrot Drill is the special attack of Cuddles. He shoots a carrot in the direction he is facing that can hit an enemy multiple times as well as pierce breakable walls.
 * Quill Shield is the special attack of Flaky. If the player presses and holds te attack button, she ducks and covers as her dandruff-ridden quills raise, hitting any enemy that comes in contact. However, it only ends if the player releases the attack button or after five seconds hve passed.
 * Deadly Disinfectant is the special attack of Petunia and the spiritual successor of the Spray of Death attack. She sprays disinfectant from a bottle in the direction she is facing. This is most effective if the enemy is hit in the face.
 * Lollipound is the special attack of Nutty. He pounds the ground with a giant lollipop, as if it were a hammer.
 * Kiss of Death is the special attack of Giggles. She blows a heart-shaped kiss in the direction she is facing that can attack multiple enemies in its path.
 * Sad Smackdown is the special attack of Toothy. If the player presses and holds the attack button, he runs st the speed that is in between his walking and running speeds while crying. He will ram any enemy in his path. Weaker enemies die in one hit, though stronger enemies take a couple of hits to defeat. He cannot jump during Sad Smackdown. The only way to end the attack is if the player lets go of the attack button.
 * Magical Flare Beam is the special attack of Princess Allay. A line of energy appears from her wand in the direction she is facing. The attack is similar to Beam Kirby's attack from the Kirby franchise. While it isn't a special attack, Allay can also do a quadruple jump by flapping a pair of wings that resemble Allayna's.
 * Ballistic Boomerang is the special attack of Lemy. He throws a boomerang in the direction he is facing, which hits enemies and fetches gems that touch it. If the attack button is held during the attack, the boomerang will go farther.
 * Hammer Thwack is the special attack of Handy. He hits a hammer with his tail at the direction he is facng, which goes to the ground in a U-shaped way. The player can charge the attack if the attack button is held, and is fully charged after a second. How far the hammer goes depends on how long it has been charged. The hammers can break destroyable blocks.
 * Lammy is the only character whose special attack is the original orb attack, which is referred to in this game as Pellet Shooter. While not a special attack, Mr. Pickels will attack any nearby enemy 20 pixels within range.
 * Bowie Throw is the special attack of Flippy. He throws Fliqpy's signature bowie knife in the direction he is facing. This attack becomes stronger if Flippy is flipped-out.
 * Heat Vision is the special attack of Splendid. He shoots a pair of lasers out of his eyes in the direction he is facing, much like Izzy's Ray Gun attack.
 * Triple Pellet Shooter is the special attack of Cindy and the spread-shot version of Lammy's Pellet Shooter attack, She shoots three spherical pellets from her shooter on her wrist in three directions.
 * Acorn Launcher is the special attack of Izzy. He shoots acorns in the direction he is facing. Given he is unlockable after beating the game, this attack is pretty powerful.
 * Hydro Beam is the special attack of Neena. She throws a small jet stream of water in the direction she is facing. Like the Kiss of Death, this attack can go through multiple enemies at once.
 * Flamethrower is the special attack of Tacho. He preforms the fire-breathing attack using a rod with the top lit on fire in the direction he is facing.
 * Lightning Rod is the special attack of Flesheye. She takes out a zapping rod in the direction she is facing, shocking any enemies that come in contactt with it.

Gender Swapped Mode
If the player holds the L and R buttons on the controller (or the A and S keys on the keyboard) while selecting the "Story Mode" option in the file select menu, the player will enter "Gender Swapped Mode." It is where the models used for the game are replaced with versions of the opposite gender. Most of the charater's names change too. The names and designs for all but one of the HTF characters in HTFA7 are based off of this.

The only way to leave Gender Swapped Mode is to exit the file or reset the game. Given this, Gender Swapped Mode does not affect the intro video in any way, only the cutscenes.

Worlds
Each world contains four normal levels, one secret level, and one boss level.

 * Water-Spot Meadow (Boss: Roy Koopa)
 * Features multiple water levels.
 * Desert (Boss: Birdie Army)
 * One of the levels feature a giant statue of Brandy. If you go over to the plate and read it, it says "Brandy, a mysterious wandering hero from the desert, who helped the Tree Friends rescue Princess Allay from the clutches of Bowser once more, has left the Happy Tree Kingdom in search of thrill. He may not ever return." This refers to Brandy, and how he helped in rescuing Allay from Bowser in HTFA^, and where he has gone to.
 * Roofed Forest (Boss: Fliqpy)
 * The second level onwards contain dangerous poison. Once Fliqpy is defeated in the Tree Fortress, Flippy becomes playable.
 * Cloudland (Boss: Splendont)
 * Once Splendont is defeated in 1,000-Fog Cave, Splendid becomes playable.
 * Hot-Top Volcano (Boss: Lavare)
 * Features multiple lava levels. Once the main story is completed, the player has access to "Into Bowser's Lair," the secret level of the world.
 * Ridley's Spaceship (Boss: Sta-Corrupted Ridley)

Trivia

 * Blue Tennis Ball is currently working on the storyboard for the intro video.
 * If this game becomes real, Princess Allay would be redesigned.
 * Only Allay, Lemy, Izzy, Cindy, Neena and Tacho speak actual English; Lammy speaks with their normal "bahs" and everyone else speaks in their normal gibberish.
 * Brandy was going to make it as an unlockable haracter, but was replaced by Cindy the corgi after Blue Tennis Ball found out that Brandy's creator left the HTF fandom.
 * Brandy was going to have the Tornado Spin attack, like Tornado Kirby, so there were no spread-shot users to begin with.
 * If this game becomes real, this will be the first 3D game in the HTFA series.
 * Lavare is based off of the dragon/wizard boss from the HTFA spin-off game, Happy Tree Friends Origins.
 * The lightning rod Flesheye uses is similar to Durandal from Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan.
