Making its return from Monster Dash, this speedy motorcycle comes complete with leather jacket and shotgun for peak 80's nostalgia.

The Bad As Hog, also known as The Hog, is a recurring vehicle in the Barry Steakfries series. First appearing in Monster Dash, it was later brought back as one of the many vehicles in Jetpack Joyride.

Monster Dash[]

A bad-as hog for a bad-as Barry.
―The Hog's description

The Bad As Hog made its debut in Monster Dash as Badass Hog (and as The Hog in later versions of the game). The vehicle is a red chopper style motorcycle that Barry can find from the crates. The vehicle drives forward and destroys everything in its path, including Monsters and spike obstacles. Like everything else, the vehicle is controlled using two buttons: The "Jump" button allows it to jump, and the "Shoot" button makes Barry fire from his shotgun. The Hog has limited fuel; upon running out, Barry jumps out of the vehicle as it explodes.

Jetpack Joyride[]

The vehicle returned in Jetpack Joyride, although it was renamed to Bad As Hog, and recolored black. The controls are similar to its appearance in Monster Dash: Touching the screen makes the vehicle jump and holding down yields a longer jump. Unlike in Monster Dash, where shooting requires tapping the "Shoot" button, this action is done automatically.

When riding The Hog, Barry wears a black leather jacket, regardless of the selected clothing. Purchasing the Golden Hog skin also changes the appearance of the shotgun, as it will be studded with diamonds. If you equip Flash as a gadget, the Bad As Hog will have a sidecar for Flash to hop and sit in while Barry drives.

When riding the vehicle, Zappers will often appear near or on the floor and missiles are completely absent.

Trivia[]

  • When riding the Bad as Hog with the Skull Head, the skull and the Bad As Hog will appear to be on fire, as a reference to Ghost Rider from Marvel Comics.
  • When firing the shotgun, Barry will reload it by spinning it around his hand like the Terminator/T-800 in the movie Terminator 2.
  • Its description in the shop references the Terminator's famous quote, "I'll be back."
  • This vehicle was originally named "Bad Ass Hog" during development but was changed due to being offensive.
    • In a later pre-release version, its name was then changed to "Hardcore Hog".
  • In the preview footage of Jetpack Joyride, the Hog used to be red, similar to how it appeared in Monster Dash, but is colored black in the final release.
  • The Bad As Hog is similar to the motorcycle the player character uses in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
  • In earlier versions of the game, the text "Refuelling Bad As Hog" appeared on the loading screen.
  • It is the only vehicle which is unable to brush past the blinking red laboratory lights.
  • In the background of the Test Lab, a few scientists can be seen riding the Hog from far away (as long as the Nerd Repellent is not in use).
