added example(s) Multiple Endings, Golden Ending misplaced, moving to the correct tab


* MultipleEndings: The game has a total of 4 endings, 5 in the remastered version, that can be obtained depending on your actions in the game. Though notably, only two of them count as completing the game.
** Variant Ending: Playing through the game without beating all four of the Reiho Four, and Kunio is forced to fight at Nekketsu High on the final day on his own against an onslaught of Reiho students, ending with a battle against Kobayashi, his troops, Onizuka and The Dragon Twins at the same time.
** Weird Ending: Defeating all of the Reiho Four but failing to catch any mention of [[spoiler: Yamada]] will have Kunio and Riki storm Reiho High, ending with a fight against the Dragon Twins.
** Story Mode Complete: Performing the same as the above but managing to hear about [[spoiler: Yamada]] will have Kunio and Riki face off against him at the end after the Dragon Twins, ala the original ''VideoGame/RiverCityRansom/Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari''.
** GoldenEnding: Befriending all notable NPCs, defeating all of the Reiho Four and learning all the backstory of Reiho High changes the assault on Reiho High to include many of the non-Reiho characters assisting Kunio and Riki as the climb the tower, causing [[spoiler: Yamada]] to reappear after defeating him at the top of the school, going berserk and having one final battle on the schoolgrounds.
**[[JokeEnding Riki's Story Ending]]: Completing all of Riki's Story missions allows the player to select Riki's Story for the final day, where Riki [[ItMakesSenseInContext climbs Reiho High by himself to hang his belt at the top of the tower to make a wish, as various other characters impede him to take the wish for themselves.]]



* GoldenEnding: Highly unlikely to get the first time around; it requires the right set-up of events.



* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Yamada who goes berserk after seeing Kunio become beloved by everyone]]

Added DiffLines:

* SnakeOilSalesman: Multiple characters around town are selling party tickets for a big party in the future, which is quickly revealed to be a ploy by Reiho to scam any willing participants. In particular, Sawaguchi and Nishimura are encountered trying to push them onto Kunio.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hasebe gives one to Kunio if you fail to meet the requirements that lead him to storm Reiho Academy, saying how he spent too much time fooling around and now Reiho is attacking Nekketsu High as a result.

In Nekketsu High School; there is no stronger [[JapaneseDelinquents Delinquent]] than Kunio who uses his might to [[{Protectorate} protect the school]]. He's even taken on the Yakuza! One night while walking, he gets attacked by two mysterious martial arts users. The fight is prevented a conclusion by the arrival of the police; but this is the start of a 3-day set of events that will pit Kunio against multiple schools, waves of delinquents, and mysterious psychic force that is brainwashing students into mindless fighters.

!!This game has examples of:
--

* ArtifactTitle: There is no "River City."
* BloodKnight: Both Mochizuki of Reiho's EliteFour and Godai are just there to fight and have fun.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: ''Something'' is doing this to students from all the schools. The worst of it happens to Onizuka who UsedToBeANiceKid.
* CloudCuckooLander: Godai is peculiar in his mannerisms but doesn't have actual malice.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Goda is the only person Godai looks up to and will listen to.
* ContinuityReboot: The events of the game are roughly same as ''VideoGame/RiverCityRansom'' but elaborated on to an extent of being a new game.
* EliteFour: The "Shitteno" ("Four Heavenly Kings") of Reiho High School.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: In the secret ending, [[spoiler: Kunio gains a type of power to counter Yamada's]]
* {{Expy}}: The Dragon Twins have always been this for the ''[[VideoGame/DoubleDragon other]]'' Dragon Brothers; even having their background music. But it's taken to another level when their special ability actually let's them channel Billy and Jimmy Lee in a FreezeFrameBonus.
* HarderThanHard: "Tough As Nails" mode.
* HopelessBossFight: Kunio is not going to be able to beat the Dragon Twins at the start of the game. Whether he loses or staves off the inevitable, he is saved by the arrival of the police. To a lesser extent, the Wrestlers during the first day as well.
* ItemDropMechanic: Partially randomized, but students can drop equipment, money, health restores, and buffs. They increase in value and RareRandomDrops the higher difficulty you play.
* TheParagon: Goda is one of the nicest guys in the series, and is only working for Reiho because they are threatening his sister.
* SecretShop: A staple of ''VideoGame/KunioKun'', these won't have anything in them until you get into NewGamePlus and the contents depend on [[HardModePerks which difficulties you have beaten]].
* SecretEnding: Highly unlikely to get the first time around; it requires the right set-up of events.
* TimedMission: Kunio has three days, consisting of 3pm to 11pm. Certain events only happen at certain times; but after the three day period is up; Kunio must go into the end-game. Fortunately NewGamePlus takes some of the sting out of this. The SecretShop does have special clothing that can slow or stop time, if you beat Beginner Mode and Tough as Nails respectively.
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Yamada who goes berserk after seeing Kunio become beloved by everyone]]
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Yamada]] has gone from having barely any context to a sinister psychic force capable of brainwashing students in addition to having MindOverMatter.
