Scenario:

A typical habitant obtains a lawnmower and persuades his lawnmower dude career.

Levels:

Backyard (intro)

Host: A teepee as a neighbour

Cutscene: explosion behind the fence. Mower flies in. LawnmowerMan: “Excuse me sir. Could it by any coincidence be of your belonging?” N: “Thanks for asking. Most certainly indeed it is. Don’t bother getting it back, you may own it for now” LM: “Thank you very much indeed. Could I repay you for such a generousity? I cannot help but mention it seems like a bit of help would suffice you well” N: “Call medics. Have a good day sir” LM: “Have a finest day indeed”

? Add russian accent to LawnMower LM?

Got basic lawnmower. Should be silent. Hand-operated. Degrass backyard lawn. Slow and anti-arcade

Night neighborhood mow

Cutscene: “This night I felt it is my destiny. From now on I will become a Lawnmower …” (%secondname% pick: Man | Woman | Undecided | Non-binary | Prefer Not to Answer). “Now I have to spread the word of my impeccable tangency”

Objective: mow an ad on the frontyards in the neighborhood. One symbol per yard. Given a sketch on the napkin: “LAWNMOWER ->”

Introduced: speeding-aka-nitro ?

Location: Sort of average american neighborhood. For lack of good models use canvases with free photoes of historical places. Plus houses of the other characters

Obstacles:

Night, poor light. Flashlight taped to the mower
Dog: barks and moves closer. Either run away and return later or mow the dog until it runs away.
Fireworks: house lights up in celebration
Fences, bricks, water (whale fin)

Dialog: Houseowner: “Hey, who’s there?” LM “Emm.. Knock-knock, sir!” HO “Who’s there?” LM “Lawnmower, sir” HO “Lawnmower who?” LM “Lawnmower %secondname%” LM “This joke is really not funny”

SMC-themed race

Cutscene. “Lawnmower John listening”. Lawnwario “I have seen your L. I was waiting for years for a lawnmower to appear in the neighborhood. Quick come to my place! And don’t forget the helmet”. . . “Hi, my name is Gave, but people call me Normal Gave. Why? Because I’m Normal! Win me a lawnmower race and I will give you my mowerino. Lose a race and you will mow me a lawn for free till the end of the seas”

Objective: win an SMC-type race in the backyard. Track is planted with grass. Each loop cut grass is added to the score. When first one hits five loops top score wins (perhaps add some secs to finish)

Mechanics: drifting and weird cart jumping are essential. Not using the optimal racing curves might be fun

Easter: add unskippable nonsence cutscene for win by crossing finish line immediately while speedrunning

Haunted Hills

Host: Elfira The Mistress of Wood. Googly-eyed toothbrush

CS. “Oh, Lawnmower, hi. I awfully need someone to shave my hills. Hurry up” . . “Hi, I am Elfira. Since my husband left there is noone to mow the backyard. It’s haunted!. You may take his mower too”

Location: toungue-in-cheek map that spans several acres.

Mechanics: A lawnmower is a LAWMOWINATOR-3000: huge mower that cuts grass, trees and marble statues. Very slow acceleration and high top speed, wide turning arc. Should provoke cartoonish driving. Or very slow driving.

Obstacles: add a pond, two hills, a valley with a sand pit. And a art-deco fence to spot the no-go-zone. Perhaps a block of marble to carve a statue with lawnmowinator-3000

Economics: ’nator will eat lots of fuel so if I am to add ecomonics to the game using handmower might bring tons of money with this mission. If I bring an option to choose the tool. Most likely not

Slowest mower chase

TODO

Silent Hill parody

Host: pyramid-head with googly eyes and roman-parody clothing. A paddle and a kid might suffice

CS: “Thanks goodness, Lawnmower! I ’ve heard you are the specialist in paranormal and cleansing the haunted. There are spooky ghosts in my yard. I am too afraid to go there. Please help”

Mechanics: low vision, ghosts of lawnmower mechanics stall the mower for a while. Have to maneuvre between them. Also Husband on LAWNMOWINATOR should pass through at certain point

Zen sand garden

Host: Alien Buddist Monkey Monk meditating

Location: Zen garden with sand and stones

CS: Alien Monke: “Garden needs treatment” LM: “IT’s like sand. Your garden is sand”. M:“It depends on your inner paradigms. Leave no bad thoughts. Leave no thoughts. Leave not” LM: “I would shave a tortoise if I’m paid” [if=provided, while, whence] M:“If the eternity is the tortoise, why does it like salad?”

Objective: Just go around the sand zen garden. Redo if the work is done not thoroughly enough

Look into my eyes, please! My friends there are preparing for the party. I want this to be there. Questions?” LW “What’s wrong with..” P: “No questions. Get to work. I’ll watch you from here”

Objective: Draw a 5x9 grid on the lawn. The zombies are shuffling randomly around the lawn.

We are very busy business people so we expect highest quality of your business here.”

Obstacles: cut must be not higher than given. Too low cut will stuck the scythe in the ground resulting in time penalty

Melon Tusk pt2

Location: Moon

CS: Melon Tusk: “Good job man. You must be tired. There, take a shower”. Splashes from the bucket. “Yes, we’re doing it because it is cheaper than separate shower rooms. I bet you want to rest a bit. There, get into the our cosy sleeping capsule”. Pushed into the rocket. Sent to the Moon. “I guess you have read the contract, right?”

We invited you to film a record attempt of a NBD trick by a top professional, the hero national, the shenanigans thrower, The Super Lawnmower [man/woman/prefer not to answer/…]. Today he will perform the infamous double mower megaramp soda flip live for you”. Mower dude: “What?”

Objective: run over megaramp and perform the dance-dance-revolution-style sequence

Obstacles: the sequence is next to impossible to do. If it is done, then an unskippable cutscene is shown to add the fun to the speedrunners

Davis Bestrunner circus pt2

CS: Lawnmower dude is being patched up and put for the second try. They added grass to the slope. Now it’s slo-mo
