Marcel the Clown is an enemy that appears in Serious Sam 2. He is essentially a more powerful version of the Beheaded Kamikaze.

Overview[]

Marcel the Clown is, as his name implies, a clown on a unicycle. He was an entertainer that ran "The Wazaro Freak Show". After the show ended, Marcel ran out of money, so Mental offered to make a deadly clone army outfitted with explosive cakes out of Marcel in exchange for money, to which Marcel begrudgingly agreed.

Appearances[]

Clowns first appear from the end of Hong-Pong onwards. They are then featured in some levels in Ellenier and are featured in the final two levels.

Behavior and skills[]

In the same manner as the Beheaded Kamikaze, Marcel's only attack is to use his high speed to quickly get to the player and then explode in front of the player, dealing major damage to them. Unlike the Kamikaze, however, the Clown will never flinch from any amount of damage dealt to him, making him incredibly dangerous.

Tactics[]

  • A single Clown can be taken out with dual-wielded Colt Anacondas. Because of their low health, the player will be able to kill a Clown without emptying the magazine.
  • Groups of Clowns can be taken out with any rapid-fire weapon, such as the Uzi, XM214-A Minigun, or Beam Gun. Very large groups should be dealt with by using the minigun, XL 808 Plasma Rifle, or beam gun; the Uzi's damage per bullet is too low to destroy a large group of Clowns.
  • With other enemies, Clowns should be top-priority enemies because of their speed and amount of damage they can do, along with their less audible laughing sounds compared to the Kamikazes' constant screams and the fact they cannot be stunned from any amount of damage. If left unchecked, they can cause major damage and outright kill the player with ease on higher difficulties.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Clown has three unused wound animations. They can be viewed by opening his model file in Serious Editor 2 and then looking at the list of animations.
