Spoiler warning! Plot details follow. |
Summary[]
You begin the game playing in Stick of Truth's fantasy genre, when The Coon interrupts and announces that the kids are now playing superheroes. You have to break into The Coon's lair and talk to him.
After initially refusing to let you play, he tells you to take a seat and walks you through your backstory (the tutorial element of the game). Once accomplished, he tells you to go out, and get some Coonstagram followers.
Plot[]
After being left behind by the warriors, the New Kid follows them and breaks their way into the basement of the Cartman Residence, where the boys, now in superhero costumes and playing as Coon and Friends, are in deep discussion. Most of the Coon and Friends leave following the discussion, leaving behind the Coon. The Coon notices the New Kid and tries to chase them out, but gives in soon after. The Coon tasks the New Kid to retrieve a Stafernisy device. When the New Kid does so, or tries to meddle with the Cube of Ultimate Destruction, the Coon will allow them to play superheroes anyway. After signing up Coonstagram for the New Kid and having them choose one of three classes (Brutalist, Speedster or Blaster), The Coon comes up for the New Kid their own backstory on how their powers are unlocked.
You lay awake that night, like so many other nights. You couldn't sleep because you knew you weren't like the other kids. You walked to the mirror. You looked in the mirror and you felt alone. And that's when it happened. A loud noise. You swore you could hear mother calling for help. You left your room. Out in the hallway, you saw two intruders in front of your parent's door! You had to stop them from hurting your parents! You knew you had the power to stop them. So for the first time, you called upon your [Speedster/Brutalist/Blaster] powers! And so you beat them! All seemed to be ok, but then you finally reached your parents' door. And what you saw when you opened that door changed your life forever and led you to fighting crime. You were too late. Because when you opened that door, you saw... you saw your dad, fuck your mom.
Having created the backstory for the New Kid, the Coon tasks them to find as many followers as they can on Coonstagram, in an effort for the Coon and Friends franchise to survive.
Trivia[]
- When Fastpass walk on the stairs next to The New Kid, he is supposed to say, "excuse me". But he actually speaks that line when he is on a certain point on the stairs, instead of when the New Kid is next to him.
- Simply standing next to the Coon will make him notice you, but this only works when you are approaching him from his left (AKA above him from the camera angle), he will not notice you when you are closing on him from his right.
- A glitch could occur when you enter the Coon Lair, where Fastpass' lines can be heard, suggesting the Coon to obtain more teammates. This line is from an early promotional build, and was removed in the final game.
- If the player enters the code to the Coon Lair correctly without having read Cartman's journal first, Cartman (as Bill Belicheck) will pop up and address the player as Tom Brady, asking if they want to play legitimately or like a "smug cheating bitch". Either way, the player still cannot gain access to the Coon Lair.
- If the player waits before going to the mirror or leaving their room, Cartman will humorously tell the player to finish the story.
