− | '''Laughter''' is a community-made [[King of the Hill]] map of the '''Laughing Tides Amusement Park and Boardwalk''', released during the [[Scream Fortress 2019]] update.

− | == Attractions ==
| |
− | === Shooting Galleries ===
| |
− | Each Spawn has a shooting gallery; stand on the footprints and shoot. Upon hitting ten enemy-colored targets in a row, the player is rewarded with a [[Halloween pumpkin]]. However, if the player hits a friendly-colored target, the game is reset with appropriate sound cues.
| |
− | === Throwing Games ===
| |
− | Each side has a throwing game or two (Bottle Buster, Can-Can Ka-Blam, and Pumpkin Smash; respectively, [[w:Carnival game#List of carnival games|Carnival games ''Bottle Stand'', ''Tin Can Alley'', and ''Plate Break'']]); shoot the props to knock them around.

− | === Funhouse ===
| |
− | Similar to other [[Halloween map|Scream Fortress maps]], Laughter features an [[Underworld|Underworldly]] [[w:Funhouse|Funhouse]] section. Periodically, doors near the control point open, which contain a portal to the Underworld. This Underworld requires players to navigate down a randomly generated Funhouse, which will contain 3 of the following:
| |
− | * A twisted room
| |
− | * A rotating barrel room
| |
− | * A room with bouncing pads that bounce with unusual direction and force*
| |
− | * A room with zig-zagging floors and ceilings
| |
− | * A room with slanted platforms and rings of fire in between them*
| |
− | * A room with a conveyor belt moving backward*
| |
− | * An upside-down room where players must climb on several mantles to exit
| |
− | * A room with several different doors in a hallway
| |
− | * A room that gets increasingly small as you go along, with the exit being so small players must crouch to fit through
| |
− | | |
− | <nowiki>*</nowiki> = The room contains a [[Environmental death#Pitfalls|bottomless pit]] (which makes it possible to die)
| |
− | | |
− | There is a small chance for the [[Bombinomicon]] to place a bomb on your head if you stay inside it for too long. Players may not place [[buildings]] in these rooms. Stepping into the last portal instantly teleports the player back into the main map, granting [[Invulnerability]], a 200% [[Overheal]], a Speed Boost, and a [[Critical hits|Crit Boost]] for a limited time.

− | == Trivia ==
| |
− | * The old time spiral slide is a [[w:Helter skelter (ride)|Helter Skelter]] ride.
| |
− | * A skull with a glowing blue eye with the upper part of a [[Paka Parka]] can be found in an inaccessible area on the terrace behind the BLU spawn. This is a reference to [https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Sans Sans], a character from the game [[Wikipedia:Undertale|''Undertale'']].
| |
− | *A [[Sledder's Sidekick]] wearing a Scout's headset can be found looking at a group of monitors within one the ending sections of the Underworld. This is a reference to the secret [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUDcSeUvkOw "Dog Ending"] of the game [[Wikipedia:Silent Hill 2|''Silent Hill 2'']]. The monitor screens show various locations from Slaughter, the original non-event version of Laughter.
| |
− | * The map contains multiple Easter eggs referencing popular online streamers:
| |
− | ** One of the two shops behind RED spawn is named Vinny's Water Ice. This is a reference to streamer and founder of Vinesauce, Vinesauce Vinny.
| |
− | ** Behind the window on the upper floor of the RED tunnel, a skull with glowing red eyes can be seen, wearing a blue [[Toadstool Topper]] with [[Grenadier Helm]]'s horns. This is a reference to fellow Vinesauce streamer, Vargskelethor Joel.
| |
− | ** There is an attraction just outside of RED spawn called J. Elbertson's Robotic Sideshow. This is a reference to another popular streamer, Jerma985.
| |
− | * There is a broken [[Horseless Headless Horsemann]] animatronic in the sewer tunnel under RED spawn. Shooting it will cause it to play various [[Demoman Robot]] voice responses.
| |
− | **Another Horsemann animatronic can be found propped up against a [[Necro Smasher]] at the Pumpkin Smash attraction. Hitting it will cause it to play various unused [[Pumpkin bomb]] voice responses.
| |
− | * In the gift shop, license plates reading "BORT" can be found. This is a reference to a joke in the [https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Itchy_%26_Scratchy_Land "Itchy & Scratchy Land"] episode of [[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']].
| |
− | * Posters for "Yeti Cakes" and "Moffitt Tops" can also be found within the gift shop. These are a reference to similar posters featured in the game [[Wikipedia:Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee|''Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee'']]
| |
− | * A green skull wearing a [[Pyromancer's Hood]] can be found behind the Madd Manor building on the roof. This skull bears a resemblance to [https://he-man.fandom.com/wiki/Skeletor Skeletor], the main antagonist of the [[Wikipedia:Masters of the Universe|''Masters of the Universe'']] franchise.
| |
− | * A skull with red eyes tipping an [[Ebenezer]] can be found in the queue area above the gift shop. This is a reference to the titular character of the [[w:Internet meme|internet meme]] [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mr-bones-wild-ride "Mr. Bones' Wild Ride"].
| |
− | * Another skull is on the roof under the Ferris wheel, wearing a [[Ye Olde Baker Boy]].
| |
− | * A skeleton wearing a blue [[Foul Cowl]] can be found peeking out of a coffin in the Monster Basher.
| |
− | *Outside the Tunnel of Love near RED spawn, two [[Archimedes]] doves can be found on the rails close to the rooftops, with the Cloud 9 [[Unusual]] effect over them.
| |
− | *The [[Environmental death|crocodiles]] that swim underneath the control point each wear a team-colored [[Sydney Straw Boat]].

− | === Funhouse ===
| |
− | Similar to other [[Halloween map|Scream Fortress maps]], Laughter features an [[Underworld|Underworldly]] [[w:Funhouse|Funhouse]] section. Periodically, doors near the control point open, which contain a portal to the Underworld. This Underworld requires players to navigate down a randomly generated Funhouse, which will contain 3 of the following:
| |
− | * A twisted room
| |
− | * A rotating barrel room
| |
− | * A room with bouncing pads that bounce with unusual direction and force*
| |
− | * A room with zig-zagging floors and ceilings
| |
− | * A room with slanted platforms and rings of fire in between them*
| |
− | * A room with a conveyor belt moving backward*
| |
− | * An upside-down room where players must climb on several mantles to exit
| |
− | * A room with several different doors in a hallway
| |
− | * A room that gets increasingly small as you go along, with the exit being so small players must crouch to fit through
| |
− | | |
− | <nowiki>*</nowiki> = The room contains a [[Environmental death#Pitfalls|bottomless pit]] (which makes it possible to die)
| |
− | | |
− | There is a small chance for the [[Bombinomicon]] to place a bomb on your head if you stay inside it for too long. Players may not place [[buildings]] in these rooms. Stepping into the last portal instantly teleports the player back into the main map, granting [[Invulnerability]], a 200% [[Overheal]], a Speed Boost, and a [[Critical hits|Crit Boost]] for a limited time.

| |
− | === Shooting Galleries ===
| |
− | Each Spawn has a shooting gallery; stand on the footprints and shoot. Upon hitting ten enemy-colored targets in a row, the player is rewarded with a [[Halloween pumpkin]]. However, if the player hits a friendly-colored target, the game is reset with appropriate sound cues.
| |
− | === Throwing Games ===
| |
− | Each side has a throwing game or two (Bottle Buster, Can-Can Ka-Blam, and Pumpkin Smash; respectively, [[w:Carnival game#List of carnival games|Carnival games ''Bottle Stand'', ''Tin Can Alley'', and ''Plate Break'']]); shoot the props to knock them around.

− | === Funhouse ===
| |
− | Similar to other [[Halloween map|Scream Fortress maps]], Laughter features an [[Underworld|Underworldly]] [[w:Funhouse|Funhouse]] section. Periodically, doors near the control point open, which contain a portal to the Underworld. This Underworld requires players to navigate down a randomly generated Funhouse, which will contain 3 of the following:
| |
− | * A twisted room
| |
− | * A rotating barrel room
| |
− | * A room with bouncing pads that bounce with unusual direction and force*
| |
− | * A room with zig-zagging floors and ceilings
| |
− | * A room with slanted platforms and rings of fire in between them*
| |
− | * A room with a conveyor belt moving backward*
| |
− | * An upside-down room where players must climb on several mantles to exit
| |
− | * A room with several different doors in a hallway
| |
− | * A room that gets increasingly small as you go along, with the exit being so small players must crouch to fit through
| |
− | | |
− | <nowiki>*</nowiki> = The room contains a [[Environmental death#Pitfalls|bottomless pit]] (which makes it possible to die)
