* AsteroidsMonster: Rather than enemies, large treasures and food items can be split into by several smaller portions by hitting them. This is mainly used to share the spoils with your fellow player(s). There is some variance in the number of smaller items the larger ones can divide into, so you can end up with a set of smaller items with a greater or lesser combined value than the original item. On rare occasions, some items can turn into a powerful item after being hit instead of splitting.

''Knights of the Round'' is a BeatEmUp ArcadeGame released by {{Capcom}} in 1991, and later ported to [[SuperNintendo SNES]] in 1994. Much as the name implies, it is loosely inspired in the myths of KingArthur. The game is a rather straightforward BeatEmUp with a [[CharacterLevel level-up system]] which changes the clothing and looks of the characters and weapons, while increasing their strength and speed. Other game mechanics include the typical [[CastFromHitPoints special move which drains life]], a block action that grants a short invincibility after blocking an attack and the ability to mount horses found on certain stages.
The story starts out with young Arthur training and finally pulling down the [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield Sword in th-]]eh, ExcaliburInTheStone, and thus becoming the King of England. However, most knights aren't pleased to find out they must follow this "boy king", and thus rebellion and war break out over the land. Arthur goes to Merlin for advice, and he reveals that only the Holy Grail has the power to unify the war-torn England under his rule. So, he and two of his best friends (Lancelot and Perceval) set out to find it, eventually discovering it is on the possession of an evil knight known as Garibaldi.
There are three playable characters:
* '''Arthur''', wielding {{Excalibur}}, a broadsword. He's [[JackOfAllStats the most balanced out of the three]], with average strength and speed. He starts out wearing leather armor and a red tunic, and as he level ups he gets more armor pieces, eventually ending in full-body armor.
* '''Lancelot''', wielding a [[SinisterScimitar scimitar]]. He's a swordsman [[WalkingTheEarth travelling all over the world]] looking for a worthy king to serve. He's the FragileSpeedster, fast but with weak attack and defense. Lancelot has [[HairOfGold long blond hair]] and wears a blue tunic, which is replaced by plate armor as he levels up.
* '''Perceval''', wielding a [[AnAxeToGrind giant axe]]. Son of a [[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]], Perceval is a GentleGiant who's willing to help Arthur on his quest. He's also remained undefeated due to his great physique. He's the MightyGlacier, powerful and durable but really slow. He changes the most as he levels up, losing his blond hair and getting bald, plus growing a beard.
The enemy forces are comprised of:
* '''Scorn, the First Challenge'''. A tall and skinny fully armored knight wielding a halberd. He has a tendency to laugh in the middle of the fight.
* '''Braford, the Swordsmaster'''. Cavalry knight wielding twin swords, and capable of [[SwordBeam shooting energy out of them.]]
* '''Arlon, the Silver Emperor'''. Garibaldi's younger brother, who has taken over Castle Fort. He's a massive man wielding a morning star, and can create shockwaves by jump stomping.
* '''Phantom, the Nightshade'''. A mysterious man with illusion techniques. He uses knives as well as trained eagles. He also owns and commands the Iron Golem, a giant armor puppet suspended by chains which has [[SpikeBallsOfDoom spiked balls as hands]].
* '''Balbars, the Hammer'''. Garibaldi's Advanced Guard and a massive armored behemoth wielding a big hammer. He has super armor (he doesn't flinch when hit) and a grab/pound move.
* '''Muramasa, the Blood Armor'''. A japanese {{Samurai}} who's somehow entered Garibaldi's service. He uses a katana, and can use fire magic to attack his enemies.
* '''Garibaldi, the Golden Emperor'''. The FinalBoss, a PaletteSwap of his brother Arlon, albeit beefed-up considerably. He starts the fight mounted on a horse, and using Braford's energy blasts.
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* ActionBomb: The Buster Drones in the section just before the Iron Golem. Whenever ''anything'' hits them, whether your blade or the ceiling spike balls, they'll blow up in a short-range flame scatter.
* AnachronismStew: Muramasa's weapon and armor would not be developed until several ''centuries'' after the time when the Arthurian legends were supposed to take place. Then again, the same could be said for the kind of tourney that takes up the first part of stage 4 (and more than a few French retellings of the Arthur legends).
* AnimalsLackAttributes: Averted with the Mad Tiger enemy, which when knocked into the air is revealed to have a sizeable pair of balls between its legs.
* ArrowsOnFire: It does ''not'' take long for the Barbarian mooks to start doing this.
* AnAxeToGrind: Perceval. The ''Bird Man'' mook uses a small axe too.
* {{BFS}}: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Sword Man"]] mooks carry these.
* BigBad: Garibaldi.
** TheDragon: Both Arlon and Phantom.
* BladeOnAStick: Scorn uses a long halberd. Several {{Mooks}} wield pickaxes, spears and the like.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: The arcade demo is specially hilarious.
--> '''Merlin:''' ''"Only the holy grail can release this world from attain the chaos."
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Phantom. Averted by Lancelot, though.
* TheBeastMaster: Phantom.
** MarionetteMaster too, considering he uses (and likely has built) the Iron Golem.
* BadassBeard: Perceval once he levels up enough.
* BossSubtitles: All bosses are given one before battle, as seen above.
* CarryABigStick: Arlon and Garibaldi use Morning Stars in tandem with [[PowerFist spiked gauntlets.]]
* CastFromHitPoints: As was the norm back then with Beat'Em Ups, the "[[LimitBreak Mega Crush]]" drains some health if it connects.
* {{Crossover}}: The three main and a few bosses appear as challengers in the quiz game ''Adventure Quiz: Capcom World 2''.
* DeathFromAbove: Muramasa can summon a rain of fire. Garibaldi does the same with blue flames before you unhorse him.
** The Iron Golem can make either debris or barrels fall down when it hits the ground.
* DegradedBoss: Scorn appears later as an EliteMook named ''Tall Man''.
* DoppelgangerAttack: An oblique version occurs when Phantom's second group of escorts appears. Two of them are Sky Walkers, {{Mook}}s that look just like him--and ''these'' are a one-time case where even the ''colors'' are the same! However, they do ''not'' attack in the same fashion, their only special attack being to throw a dagger straight ahead.
* DropTheHammer: Balbars.
* DualWielding: Braford wields a sword-and-longsword combo.
* DumbMuscle: Balbars.
* TheEmperor: Arlon and Garibaldi carry this title.
* EvilLaugh: Scorn is quite prone to this.
* FatBastard: The [[MeaningfulName apptly named]] "Fat Man" {{Mook}}.
** The ''Buster'' series of mooks encompassed both the "Fat" and the [[DemonicSpiders "Bastard"]] parts. They were portly soldiers armed with a spiked club, a shield and heavy armour. Not only were they more durable and aggressive than most other mooks, they employed more advanced combat techniques such as shielding your attack then countering with a nasty jumping attack, riding horses and taunting after they kill you.

* KnifeNut: Phantom throws these.

The story starts out with young Arthur training and finally pulling down the [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield Sword in th-]]eh, ExcaliburInTheStone, and thus becoming the King of England. However, most knights aren't pleased to find out they must follow this "boy king", and thus rebellion and war break out over the land. Arthur goes to Merlin for advice, and he reveals that only the Holy Grail has the power to unify the war-torn England under his rule. So, he and two of his best friends (Lancelot and Perceval) set out to find it, eventually discovering it is on the possession of an evil knight known as Garibaldi.
There are three playable characters:
* '''Arthur''', wielding {{Excalibur}}, a broadsword. He's [[JackOfAllStats the most balanced out of the three]], with average strength and speed. He starts out wearing leather armor and a red tunic, and as he level ups he gets more armor pieces, eventually ending in full-body armor.
* '''Lancelot''', wielding a [[SinisterScimitar scimitar]]. He's a swordsman [[WalkingTheEarth travelling all over the world]] looking for a worthy king to serve. He's the FragileSpeedster, fast but with weak attack and defense. Lancelot has [[HairOfGold long blond hair]] and wears a blue tunic, which is replaced by plate armor as he levels up.
* '''Perceval''', wielding a [[AnAxeToGrind giant axe]]. Son of a [[TheBlacksmith blacksmith]], Perceval is a GentleGiant who's willing to help Arthur on his quest. He's also remained undefeated due to his great physique. He's the MightyGlacier, powerful and durable but really slow. He changes the most as he levels up, losing his blond hair and getting bald, plus growing a beard.
The enemy forces are comprised of:
* '''Scorn, the First Challenge'''. A tall and skinny fully armored knight wielding a halberd. He has a tendency to laugh in the middle of the fight.
* '''Braford, the Swordsmaster'''. Cavalry knight wielding twin swords, and capable of [[SwordBeam shooting energy out of them.]]
* '''Arlon, the Silver Emperor'''. Garibaldi's younger brother, who has taken over Castle Fort. He's a massive man wielding a morning star, and can create shockwaves by jump stomping.
* '''Phantom, the Nightshade'''. A mysterious man with illusion techniques. He uses knives as well as trained eagles. He also owns and commands the Iron Golem, a giant armor puppet suspended by chains which has [[SpikeBallsOfDoom spiked balls as hands]].
* '''Balbars, the Hammer'''. Garibaldi's Advanced Guard and a massive armored behemoth wielding a big hammer. He has super armor (he doesn't flinch when hit) and a grab/pound move.
* '''Muramasa, the Blood Armor'''. A japanese {{Samurai}} who's somehow entered Garibaldi's service. He uses a katana, and can use fire magic to attack his enemies.
* '''Garibaldi, the Golden Emperor'''. The FinalBoss, a PaletteSwap of his brother Arlon, albeit beefed-up considerably. He starts the fight mounted on a horse, and using Braford's energy blasts.

!!This game provides examples of:
* ActionBomb: The Buster Drones in the section just before the Iron Golem. Whenever ''anything'' hits them, whether your blade or the ceiling spike balls, they'll blow up in a short-range flame scatter.
* AnachronismStew: Muramasa's weapon and armor would not be developed until several ''centuries'' after the time when the Arthurian legends were supposed to take place. Then again, the same could be said for the kind of tourney that takes up the first part of stage 4 (and more than a few French retellings of the Arthur legends).
* AnimalsLackAttributes: Averted with the Mad Tiger enemy, which when knocked into the air is revealed to have a sizeable pair of balls between its legs.
* ArrowsOnFire: It does ''not'' take long for the Barbarian mooks to start doing this.
* AnAxeToGrind: Perceval. The ''Bird Man'' mook uses a small axe too.
* {{BFS}}: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Sword Man"]] mooks carry these.
* BigBad: Garibaldi.
** TheDragon: Both Arlon and Phantom.
* BladeOnAStick: Scorn uses a long halberd. Several {{Mooks}} wield pickaxes, spears and the like.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: The arcade demo is specially hilarious.
--> '''Merlin:''' ''"Only the holy grail can release this world from attain the chaos."
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Phantom. Averted by Lancelot, though.
* TheBeastMaster: Phantom.
** MarionetteMaster too, considering he uses (and likely has built) the Iron Golem.
* BadassBeard: Perceval once he levels up enough.
* BossSubtitles: All bosses are given one before battle, as seen above.
* CarryABigStick: Arlon and Garibaldi use Morning Stars in tandem with [[PowerFist spiked gauntlets.]]
* CastFromHitPoints: As was the norm back then with Beat'Em Ups, the "[[LimitBreak Mega Crush]]" drains some health if it connects.
* {{Crossover}}: The three main and a few bosses appear as challengers in the quiz game ''Adventure Quiz: Capcom World 2''.
* DeathFromAbove: Muramasa can summon a rain of fire. Garibaldi does the same with blue flames before you unhorse him.
** The Iron Golem can make either debris or barrels fall down when it hits the ground.
* DegradedBoss: Scorn appears later as an EliteMook named ''Tall Man''.
* DoppelgangerAttack: An oblique version occurs when Phantom's second group of escorts appears. Two of them are Sky Walkers, {{Mook}}s that look just like him--and ''these'' are a one-time case where even the ''colors'' are the same! However, they do ''not'' attack in the same fashion, their only special attack being to throw a dagger straight ahead.
* DropTheHammer: Balbars.
* DualWielding: Braford wields a sword-and-longsword combo.
* DumbMuscle: Balbars.
* TheEmperor: Arlon and Garibaldi carry this title.
* EvilLaugh: Scorn is quite prone to this.
* FatBastard: The [[MeaningfulName apptly named]] "Fat Man" {{Mook}}.
** The ''Buster'' series of mooks encompassed both the "Fat" and the [[DemonicSpiders "Bastard"]] parts. They were portly soldiers armed with a spiked club, a shield and heavy armour. Not only were they more durable and aggressive than most other mooks, they employed more advanced combat techniques such as shielding your attack then countering with a nasty jumping attack, riding horses and taunting after they kill you.
* FragileSpeedster: Lancelot as already noted, plus Phantom and the {{Mook}}s ''Sky Walker'' and ''Mask Man''.
* HairOfGold: Lancelot.
* HyperactiveMetabolism
* KnifeNut: Phantom throws these.
* LargeAndInCharge: Both Garibaldi and Arlon are quite humongous.
