What games can you think of that feature mops as weapons?

A mop showed up in both Chrono Trigger (although it sadly did not look any different from a sword) and in FF7 (where it was a weapon for Cid). And of course there's the NES Toxic Crusaders game, if I'm not mistaken.

Does anything else come to mind? (It's not one of Square's regular little jokes, is it?)

Hmm...I can't think of any other games with mops as weapons, but in Shin megami tensei nocturne, you fight a demon called Datsue-Ba which is, literally, a living mop. It's weird. :/

It's not a weapon, but in Space Quest 1, after yiou save the universe at the end, you get the "Golden Mop," a tropht for all your hard work.

I want a UHF game, where you have to guide Stanley through a quest to find his beloved mop.

God, I love that movie. To this day I'll walk into supply closets, see a mop leaning up against the wall and shout out "MY MOP!!!!!"

Can't remember, but I think the robot maid type character in Waku Waku 7 has some type of mop attack.

There were Toxic Crusaders games on Genesis and Game Boy as well, so there's two more.

Wasn't there a mop in Fable? Or was that a shovel?

Its been a while, but wasn't there a mop in one of the Streets of Rage games somewhere?

What about "Die Hard Arcade" or its sequal, Dynamite Cop"?

(Fascinating stuff, keep 'em coming!)

I also forgot Kirby's Dream Land 3, where the Broom power leads to various cleaning implements - brooms, feather dusters, buckets of water, etc. I can't quite recall if there is explicitly a mop, though.

You can use a Mop in Maple Story.

It's not a console game though. It's a PC MMO with Rayman like graphics, goofy creatures, cartoony characters, and various odd weapons when you get into the higher levels. Such as Mops, Briefcases, Baseball bats....

Somebody already mentioned Toxic Crusaders, but I thought I'd add that in addition to being on the Genesis and Gameboy, there was a TC game for the NES as well. That was the one that occurred to me when I saw the first post.

Was there a mop in Po'ed? Can't remember one, can hardly remember the game, but it seems like the sort of game that would have a mop....somewhere

There were Mops in Sorceror's Apprentice for Atari 2600. Classic Mickey mouse.

Can't remember for sure but I think that Marge used a mop and bucket in one of the simpsons games. Which one, can't remember but I have a feeling that she did. :eek 2:

I thought SNES Final Fantasy II had a mop in it somewhere. Am I remembering correctly, or am I just retarded (rhetorical question)?

No, that was a vacuum cleaner. But that made me think of Slap Happy Rhythm Busters, a goofy cel shaded fighter where someone uses a big vacuum cleaner as a weapon. But sadly, no mop.

I'd just like to comment that this is the best thread I've seen here in ages.

What about the Power Stone games? Don't they have mops in them or something similar?

Surprised they haven't made a Power Stone III for the Xbox...

Shit, If they made a "Power Stone 3" for XBOX and it played anything like PS2, i'd buy an XBOX right away.

In Tom & Jerry: House Trap for the Ps1 you could run around and hit either Tom or Jerry with a mop. You could hit them with a lot of other things too. LOL Like dustpans, cake, fishing rods, apples, jello, pool cues, books, fish, bowling balls, etc.

I remember Marge using a vaccum cleaner as a weapon in some Simpsons arcade game I played a while back.
Thats pretty close to a mop :P

<<<25>>> POSTS & no one said "Towers II" for Atari Jaguar?

Actually, on seeing this thread I was pretty sure no one'd said it yet! :D

A janitor patrols the 1st floor. You can kill him & use the mop as a weapon (although it looks like a small push broom). IIRC there's another mop lying around somewhere else.

Planetfall was a great game, though I don't think you ever got to use the broom to fight.

Simpsons arcade had Marge jumping around w/ a stand-up vacuum cleaner.

I see no mention of Resident Evil Outbreak. Where the broom/mop will actually break on you after several uses.
