* The battle with the penultimate boss of the game, [[spoiler: General Kehck]]. You pilot an old ship made from junk and with only two functional weapons. He's riding a huge, black, flying SpiderTank which is between three and four times larger than your vessel and shoots [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] to the point of BeamSpam and missiles bigger than your whole ship. You're being pulled by its tractor beam, and you're battling through a canyon in the moon. And the guy's an ''incredible'' LargeHam, even for this game. Of course, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the music it plays helps matters also]].

* Jade is awesome in herself if you think about it. Unlike other game heroes who have a HyperspaceArsenal of endless weapons, PlotCoupon and convenient power-up, Jade gets by from start to finish on a camera, a Jo Staff and one range weapon with no upgrades or NewPowersAsThePlotDemands([[spoiler:Pey'j's unexpected recovery and end cutscenes]] notwithstanding of course). You fight the FinalBoss, the EliteMook and basic mooks with the same abilities, using Jade's human skills of timing, will and wits. This makes her ten times more awesome than Mario, Link or Gordon Freeman.

** The music certainly makes it more awesome, especially when the game goes into slow motion for a more operatic section of the track.

* The battles with the 'Teratosaurus' on the hovercraft. Partly it's the build-up with the alarm around the city, partly it's the music, partly it's the sheer size of the monster - and how satisfying it is to start cutting it down segment by segment - and partly it's just how chaotic the battle can get when you're pursuing the beast.

* The opening scenes. Most would panic at the sight of alien monsters, even if their kids were being kidnapped. Jade grabs a flaming stick and starts handing out beatings like free candy.
