The violence found in this combat is unrealistic and comical, as are reactions to it: every character is made of paper, stars pop up on hits, numbers indicate damage, enemies explode into confetti when defeated. Aside from that, this game features boss-fights against huge menacing creatures, and one particular part of the game takes place in a dark temple. This part features imagery and scenes that would likely scare young children.

Content specific issues

These events include boxing and karate. Both of these events pit two characters against one another. When hit, bright lights flash and the characters let out a grunt of pain. When downed, characters lay motionless on the ground for a short amount of time before trying to get back up. There are never any injuries visible on the characters bodies, and reactions to some of the attacks are slapstick in nature. All the characters are cartoony and child-friendly in design.

One of the boss battles takes place in a nightmarish setting in which you need to climb a destroyed tower to confront a realistic looking dragon. This dragon has glowing eyes, sharp teeth and looks rather realistic. You need to dodge its lasers and circular saw lasers to remove pins from its head and stop him once this is done. Some boss battles also contain elements that are more severe than previous instalments from this series.

In one of the levels you can capture a realistic looking T-rex and roam the level with it. This beast has a realistic appearance and could be seen as a disturbing element.

This axe can be thrown, much like the hat he always wears. The reactions of the character to this action, remain the same.
