* EveryoneHasStandards: Angel may have found it fun to fight D.I.O. soldiers, but she does draw the line at seeing innocents being slaughtered and at the end of the stage where she enters a conflict between D.I.O. soldiers and people rebelling against them, she fires her gun to catch the attention of one soldier group as they were about to massacre a group of people.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Killing real defectors from D.I.O. will subtract points from the player's score.
* WeaponizedLandmark: After a fashion. The entire front facade of D.I.O. headquarters, including the ''bushes'', conceals a startling array of MoreDakka. Serves as the penultimate BossFight.

''Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad'' (a sequel to [[VideoGame/ShockTrooper1997 the prior game]]) involves a less-ethnically-diverse (but more diverse in weapons and abilities then the first team) team of four commandos must fight against the evil forces of [[MegaCorp Dio International Corporation]] [[spoiler: [[TheManBehindTheMan And the shadowy General behind them]]]], who are attempting to TakeOverTheWorld. It loses the TagTeam feature but gains more special weapon [[PowerUp Power-Ups]] and adds ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''-style controllable vehicles.

-->-- OpeningMonologue of ''2nd Squad.''

''Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad'', a less-ethnically-diverse (but more diverse in weapons and abilities then the first team) team of four commandos must fight against the evil forces of [[MegaCorp Dio International Corporation]] [[spoiler: [[TheManBehindTheMan And the shadowy General behind them]]]], who are attempting to TakeOverTheWorld. It loses the TagTeam feature but gains more special weapon [[PowerUp Power-Ups]] and adds ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''-style controllable vehicles.

!!''2nd Squad'' provides examples of:

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Toy.
* AnnouncerChatter: While it [[{{AvertedTrope}} averts]] {{Engrish}} for the most part, it's still a bit awkward to the native ear.
* AttackDrone: Every time you destroy one of the gun pods on the FinalBoss, [[AsteroidsMonster it spawns one of these.]] If you don't deal with them quickly, they soon fill the screen with BeamSpam.
* BulletHell: Every boss battle in a nutshell, but ''especially'' [[spoiler: the Dio Building]].
* ChargedAttack: The vehicles trade in the "fixed shot" ability you have on foot for this. The tank has a standard charged blast, the truck has a SpinAttack and the MiniMecha employs a two-fisted RocketPunch.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Some of Toy's voice bites make him ''sound'' like this, though he's just easy-going.
--> Toy: [[BondOneLiner "Rock with the beat!"]]
* CodeName: Each character has one, part of which you can spell out with letter pickups for a bonus. Again, each also has a Special Weapon Of Choice.
** "Lion Heart" [[TheHero Leon]] - [[StuffBlowingUp Frag Grenade]]
** "Ceramic Arms" Angel - [[KillItWithFire Napalm Grenade]]
** "Lightning Eyes" [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette Lulu]] - [[StuffBlowingUp Pipe Bomb]]
** "Ice Brain" [[FieryRedhead Toy]] - [[DeathInAllDirections Circular]] [[EnergyWeapon Energy Blast]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Dio Nakatomi.
* DualBoss: Quadruple in this case, one of the Stage 4's bosses consists of four modular tanks that can link-up for [[CombinationAttack Combination Attacks]].
* EnergyWeapon Toy again. His weapon is a [[OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture brick-like rifle]] that fires [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]. A few enemies use these, but ballistics are the order of the day.
* {{Expy}}: Leon looks like a bulked-out [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon Freeman]]. Though the fact that he's [[UsefulNotes/GaulsWithGrenades French]], wears round glasses, sports a goatee and is named [[Film/TheProfessional "Leon"]] makes him more of a Creator/JeanReno {{Expy}}.
* Gainaxing: Angel's quite bouncy when you have her idle.
* HandCannon: Used by several EliteMooks. Notable in that they are literally ''bigger then the arms and heads of their users]''
* MegaCorp: [[NGOSuperpower With surprising amounts of military power and resources.]]
* MiniMecha: The {{Mooks}} like to use these. Occasionally you can pilot one. They are equipped with [[GatlingGood dual gatling guns.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: Nakatomi isn't the one in charge of the coup, [[SpoilerOpening but you already knew this just from watching the intro]]. [[spoiler: The coup d'état was actually masterminded by an EvilLaugh prone, blonde, [[EyepatchOfPower one-eyed]] General with a pair of {{Hand Cannon}}s.]]
* MolotovCocktail: The {{Mooks}} like to throw these.
* MsFanservice: Angel. Her outfit exposes her cleavage. She also bounces quite a bit if you have her stand still.
* NonstandardGameOver: Unlike the rest of the game, being forced to use a continue during the FinalBoss does not reset the level timer. [[spoiler: Failure to destroy the boss in the allotted time will still cause the game to finish, but results in an alternate [[OpeningScroll Ending Scroll]] that claims your character [[NeverFoundTheBody disappeared and is presumed dead]].]]
* SpreadShot: Lulu has a short ranged one for her main weapon.
* SuperDeformed: This game has a much more cartoony look then the first game, though retains the FamilyUnfriendlyViolence.
* TakingYouWithMe: Occasionally {{Mooks}} will attempt to suicide-bomb you. [[spoiler: The General attempts to take ''the entire world'' with him using his DoomsdayDevice.]]
* TokenMinority: Leon is French while the other three player characters are American.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Killing real defectors from D.I.C. will subtract points from the player's score.
* WeaponizedLandmark: After a fashion. The entire front facade of D.I.C. headquarters, including the ''bushes'', conceals a startling array of MoreDakka. Serves as the penultimate BossFight.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:The General shoots Nakatomi in cold blood, blaming him for the coup d'état's failure.]]
