!! ''Mystical Fighter'' contains examples of:
* AllMonksKnowKungFu: For some baffling reason, you'll be constantly attacked by Japanese Dōgen-style monks wearing {{Eye Obscuring Hat}}s armed with heavy canes.
* BigBad: The Dark Kabuki Master who leads the demons.
* BossRush: You get to fight all the previous bosses in a row – including the {{Oni}} bunch, the Wanyūdō and the {{Tengu}} – before facing the Dark Kabuki Master.

--> CONGRATULATIONS!
--> BUT THIS IS NOT THE TRUE ENDING
--> FIND THE REAL DARKSIDE KABUKIMASTER
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: The stage immediately following the Mansion have you going through Enma, crossing a rock bridge over a raging fire while you’re attacked by Oni and demonic samurai from all sides. At the end of said stage you exit hell… and goes back to the mansion. Somehow.
* FlyingFace: The boss of the bridge stage is a Wanyūdō, a flying head - ''on fire'' - who floats around trying to burn you while shooting fireballs. You can only damage it by hitting the central face.
* HumanHammerThrow: There is a special move that allows you to grab enemies by the heels and spin them in circles before throwing the out of the screen. It only works for smaller, human-sized enemies, though.
* InterfaceScrew: The "foggy" stage, where you're in the streets at night, pixelated fog obscuring your vision half of the times while hostile ninja mooks come at you from left and right. Thankfully the segment ends once you reach the Mansion's entrance, with the next stage being set indoors.
* KabukiSounds: As you're a Kabuki-themed warrior, you tend to make these noises when hitting enemies, or after getting hit. The Darkside Kabukimaster too.
* {{Kirin}}: The first boss is a kirin who constantly hops around the arena trying to trample you.
* {{Ninja}}: A common enemy, like every good action game set in Sengoku-Era Japan.
* {{Oni}}: There are two gigantic Onis serving as a boss at the end of the second stage. Not a DualBoss though, they come at you one at a time, and they are {{Recurring Boss}}es that shows up in the hell stages.
* RollingAttack: Your character can perform a rolling tackle by pressing attack and forward at the same time.
* {{Samurai}}: The HeavilyArmoredMook enemies in a few stages. They can take a lot more hits than regular peasant / soldier enemies thanks to being clad in samurai armor. The Mansion level in particular is full of these enemies.
* SumoWrestling: Giant, purple-skinned demonic sumo wrestlers are recurring enemies in the game.
* TakeItToTheBridge: The third stage have you fighting assorted enemies on a bridge, including ninjas who will climb over from the other side and hawks swooping at you from above. There are also sections where the bridge will give way, which you can fall into and die instantly (and then restart the whole mission!) though you can throw enemies into these pits.
* {{Tengu}}: A human-sized Tengu serves as the boss of the Mansion level.
* TimedMission: You have 70 seconds to complete each mission, and running out of time leads to you losing a life... and restarting the ''whole'' stage.
* {{Youkai}}: Most of the bosses are creatures from Japanese myths.
