** The official website's first wallpaper, released to mark the Steam version in November 2019, features characters as they appear in the Golden Ending. At some point, it also became the Steam Store image and an example of CoversAlwaysSpoil.

* ChestMonster: Some Stranga enemies are disguised as items until you get too close. And then there's the fake save points with their ''WaveMotionGun''!

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Eve, again, this time joined by no fewer than ''four'' ridiculously human Support Droids belonging to other Metal Attacker units, though the others look more like {{Human Alien}}s. [[spoiler:The extent of their humanity allows them to have souls, which allows Elfie to persist after death and helps convince Leibniz of the humanity of Support Droids.]]

*** The protagonist of ''Ikki'', Gonbei, is featured as an MA pilot on the planet Montoj. He wields several weapons from ''Ikki'', including the sickle and bamboo sword (from the NES version). Both Tae, Gonbei's Support Droid, and Gonbei's modern design are based on the 2013 novelization of the game, ''Ikki: Legend of Takeyari Master'', the title of which is also referenced by Gonbei's BossSubtitles.

*** Gonbei's {{Sidequest}} sees you collecting eight gold coins scattered around the area, which was the objective in ''Ikki''[='=]s levels. The coins are needed for an upgrade that will take Gonbei and Tae to an island in the middle of the ocean, also referencing ''Atlantis no Nazo''.

*** Kanna's support animal Yacopu is based on the protagonist of Sunsoft's Game Boy platformer ''Trip World''. The paralyzed mutants with flowers on their heads is another reference, as Yacopu could stun enemies in a similar manner after obtaining a certain power-up.
*** Tesset is loosely based on Tesse, a robot maid appearing in the Sunsoft fighting game ''VideoGame/WakuWaku7''. The number on her hat is 1996, the year the game came out in arcades.[[note]]In screenshots from the trailer, it instead read 1988, the year the original ''Metafight/Blaster Master'' game was released.[[/note]]

* RealityEnsues: The HappyEndingOverride above. In the climax of ''Zero'', Eve was bound up and trapped within the Invem SOPHIA, with tendrils of the Mutant Core visibly digging into her body. Turns out, having your body invaded by an infectious, parasitic lifeform leads to becoming, well, infected. NoOntologicalInertia [[AvertedTrope does not apply here]]. Thus, the plot of this game.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The website for the ''Blaster Master Trilogy'' spoils the existence of [[spoiler:Elfie]], a character introduced in the last 30 minutes of the game who plays a significant role in Eve's character development.

* ChargedAttack: Gun Level 7 is the EX-Charge. It's iover ncredibly weak at base power, but deals great damage when fully charged. Equipping an elemental Subweapon alongside it will add that element to the charge shot for a further boost.

* SpringJump: The Repulsion Jack Subweapon. Using it causes the G-SOPHIA to spit out a small jack in front of it; any moving object that comes into contact with it will be launched high into the air. The G-SOPHIA can use this to gain instant height and regain SP from the fall, or lure enemies into it and attack while they're airborne. It also has puzzle-solving properties on Stranga.

'''Unmarked spoilers for''' '''''Blaster Master Zero''''' '''below!'''

However, Jason soon discovers that they aren't alone in the mutant war. After the creation of SOPHIA-III and the subsequent eradication of the mutants on their own planet, Sophia deployed their Metal Attacker units across the galaxy in hopes of assisting other planets in destroying the mutants once and for all. During their journey, Jason and Eve will encounter other Metal Attackers and their pilots, but not all of them are friendly. Who can they trust in this new journey?

* SequelDifficultyDrop: The requirement for the True Ending is much more lenient in ''Zero II''. In the previous title, every single addition for SOPHIA-III was necessary in order to obtain the True Ending, and the game was designed in a way that getting all of those pretty amounted to playing the game to 100% exploration. In ''Zero II'', all you need is to complete the rather simple side-quests presented by all three fellow Metal Attackers to earn 3 items needed by the end of the game, a few areas and upgrades not necessary to complete the aforementioned quests can be completely skipped and the True Ending can still be achieved.
* SequelDifficultySpike: On the other side of the coin, ''Zero II'' pulls considerably fewer punches than its predecessor when it comes to general difficulty. Enemies are plentiful and aggressive, the level design is more dynamic, and bosses are trickier and more strategic. You are very much expected to have played the previous game and liberally use the new tools offered in this game.

* Magic Music: [[VideoGame/LuminousAvengerIX Like in her source game]] Lola's Idol Trigger song powers up Copen normally.
** [[spoiler: Lola's Idol Trigger is also another way to damage Planade-G]]
