DESTRUCTAPALOOZA! Where there are no rules. No regulations. Just one basic principle: Try not to get D-E-D! DEAD!

Announcer, ItN

Destructapalooza was an arena owned by Thugs-4-Less. It was located on the planet Kragg in the Zarkov Sector of the Polaris galaxy. Much like DreadZone, it was completely unregulated, and served to prepare recruits into hard hitting Thugs-4-Less enforcers.

Trivia

• Destructapalooza utilized all natural lava for their arena, as Thugs-4-Less cared about the environment.
• Despite the fact that Destructapalooza was on an abandoned sector, apparently it had a commercial about it.
• There were two rejected cups called the Azeril Cup and the Zero-G Cup where Ratchet would fight Thugs outside Planet Kragg's atmosphere, similar to the cage match of Going Commando.
• Bursting Blekkos, Nethers, Thug Raiders, and the B1 Brawler were cut out the arena and/or game.
• Thug Raiders had concept art, but were canned from the game. The Announcer said they train thug raiders by pumping iron and watching bad action films.
• Thugs would have lines in the stands while watching Ratchet fight in the arena.
• Bonus Crates would drop into the arena for a limited time to give Ratchet ammunition. However, they were cut from the game.
• Bladebot's trillium blades were used to torture Kerchu warriors of Planet Jasindu. The Destructapalooza cleaned up the mess and turned them into hotdogs.
• In the Zero-G Cup, Ratchet would grav leap on platforms while shooting at Thugs from the Nebulox 7. As a punishment for failing to kill Ratchet a few hours ago, they had to kill Ratchet, or else they wouldn't return to the planet.
