History VideoGame / SinandPunishmentStarSuccessor

* ZettaiRyouiki: Kachi's [[FashionableAsymmetry one-leg thigh-high]]. Hibaru's [[ProperTightsWithASkirt pantyhose]] gives the impression of this.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler:The ''Sin & Punishment: Franchise/StreetFighter Edition'' moment with Deko in Stage 6.]]
** Notably in that, if you're playing as Kachi in any mode, you're forced to use Isa for it.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Outer Space... [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm things]] are trying to corrode Inner Space away for some reason. [[spoiler:On the other hand, the Creators, who are defending Inner Space, created humanity for the sole purpose of having a RedshirtArmy in their war against Outer Space. They even go so far as to annihilate any strain of humanity that grows too peaceful, because peaceful lifeforms do not make good soldiers. Humans are just caught in the middle, pawns for both sides, and whoever eventually wins will not particularly care about humanity's well-being... or continued existence.]]

* BossGame: Like its predecessor, the game has multiple stage bosses or a series of boss battles in every stage, but they go for broke on the final stage.

* CulturalTranslation: The Japanese word for "God" crops up often in the original script. The translated version either replaces it with "the Creators" or removes it altogether in each instance, undoubtedly to avoid religious controversy in the West.

* DualBoss: Master Ninja Keeper and his frog Keeper are the most obvious example; some other boss fights have between two and ''ten'' (usually attacking targets to be destroyed).
** [[spoiler:Also, Hibaru's twin-swordsman transformation in Stage 7.]]

* HumansAreWarriors: {{Enforced|Trope}}, the creator gods want humans to be hostile to everything else, [[UncannyValley particularly things that look human but are not]]. Human populations that find a way to be peaceful are exterminated and replaced by a planetary defense system known as "keepers" until a sufficiently warlike people are found and allowed to settle the planet. [[spoiler: [[JustifiedTrope In the last game, the Earth's population was kind of destroyed after they consumed too much food and then saw their efforts to fix the problem sabotaged by something that looked human but was not]].]]

* LaserBlade: Isa's gun doubles as one. If you have good timing you can even use it to stop a lot physical attacks done by the enemy. Even if they are much larger than Isa.

* LifeMeter: In Stages 1 through 6, you start each stage with 100 HP. The final stage, when [[spoiler:Isa transforms]], grants 1,000 HP, but damaged is scaled up tenfold so it doesn't really matter.

* MeleeATrois: In the underground city of stage one, you will see many soldiers constantly firing their weapons even though you'd have no chance of run into their path, as well as keepers wandering around with no sense of purpose. Stage six reveals they've been fighting each other, in addition to you, though it you look carefully, there are some hints even before then. Even the Nebulox would rather avoid some of the larger keepers.

* :NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: After beating Isa & Kachi, it becomes quite clear that you helped Achi, the villian of first game, by killing her opposition!]]
* NintendoHard: Even if you have played through the original game, you're probably better off starting on Easy mode.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: The Infant Keeper. After being spawned, the heroes take sympathy for killing its mother, the previous boss, so they spare it. [[spoiler:It immediately kidnaps your partner, straps them to a pulley, and slowly lowers him/her into the lava.]]
** [[spoiler:You did kill its mom, but ''oh'' how you will want to gut the little bastard.]]

* OnlyAFleshWound: Many of the Stage 3 enemies will continue to attack even after half of their body has been shot off.

* PlayingWithFire: A few of the Keepers have fire attacks, the wheel keeper leaving tracks of fire behind it as it rols. Ariana Shami does once her "blood is on fire".

%%* PreMortemOneLiner: See ShutUpHannibal.

* ReflectingLaser: Armon uses these

* {{Roboteching}}: A whole lot of this in stage seven.

* ScoringPoints: Par for the course, but things are done differently from its predecessor. For starters, instead of picking up point items without taking any damage to rack up the highest points, there's a score multiplier that boosts score from enemies and coins, from x0.0 to x16. The multiplier raises as you shoot stuff up, but easily goes down for taking damage. Also new to this game are special medals that rewards you bonus points at end of the stage for performing certain feats (e.g. killing ''X'' number of a certain enemy, parrying certain attacks). Finally, since the game gives you the option to take flight at any time (except in Stage 5 and the very end of Stage 6), you gain points simply for being on the ground; standing still yields a small stream of points, but being in parts where you walk or especially run will earn more points. Should you die and continue, your score resets to 0, much like in arcade games.

* SequelHook: If the game is beaten on the "Isa & Kachi Mode, [[spoiler:then we see Isa and Kachi discuss how their enemies will still inevitably come for them. Kachi's memory starts to return, and she remembers that she is in fact [[BigBad Achi]].]]
** [[spoiler:Or that she was just faking her memory loss, and she knew who she was all along? That's what the American version implies anyway.]]

* StationaryBoss: Brimstone (the one with that name in the English version) is just a rotating toward with weapons on it.

* WallCrawl: From crab keepers under water to the torso of what are presumably androids in the sky fortress.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Watch out for Deko's STO!

* IronicName: Isa is one of the more prominent names {{Jesus}} is known by. In Teutonic and Chamoru languages it is a girl's name.

Conceived by Treasure not long after the Wii came out, and green lit due in no small part to the sales of the original game on Wii VirtualConsole. ''Sin and Punishment 2'' was released, with full English ''and'' Japanese voice-acting to boot, in Japan on October 29, 2009, in Europe on May 7, 2010, and in North America on June 27, 2010. So now it's even ''less'' of a WidgetSeries.

''Sin and Punishment: Star Successor'' (''Successor of the Skies'' in Europe) is the {{Wii}} sequel to the {{Nintendo 64}} rail shooter ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishment'' by Creator/{{Treasure}}.

* {{Badass}}: If the first game wasn't an indication to you already, [[TheHero Isa]] and [[ActionGirl Kachi]] [[OneManArmy can hold their own against the Keepers AND the Nebulox]].

* PreMortemOneLiner: See ShutUpHannibal.

'''''Sin and Punishment: Star Successor''''' (''Successor of the Skies'' in Europe) is the {{Wii}} sequel to the {{Nintendo 64}} rail shooter ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishment'' by Creator/{{Treasure}}.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In the intro to Stage 5, before Isa hijacks one of the vehicles, a soldier takes aim and misses almost completely, allowing Isa to knock out the soldier with a roundhouse kick.

* TimeLimitBoss: Unlike the original game, only boss battles and certain enemy encounters are timed. Should the timer reach zero, your score multiplier diminishes.

* BattleshipRaid: There's a segment of Stage 6 that strongly evokes memories of the original game's aircraft carrier level.

** [[spoiler:In the fight with Deko, the game briefly turns into a simplistic 2D fighting game, although you're bound to see some juggle combos when he hits you with [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII dragon punches, flash kicks, and tiger knees]].]]

* HeroAntagonist: The Nebulox in the American English translation, in the Japanese version the group are known as G5 and are characterized much more like cackling villains whose power has gone to their heads. Even then though, their goal is no less sympathetic.

* EldritchAbomination: The climax boss of [[spoiler:Stage 3, the Horror Keeper,]] is a biologically engineered, dreadlocked monstrocity that chases you down a narrow shaft while launching missiles from its chest and swinging the flaming debris on its arm. Arguably, so do the [[spoiler: [[OneWingedAngel One-Winged Angel]] forms the [[HiredGuns Nebulox Commanders]] take]] in Stage 7, if you disregard them still being sentient beings and the mechanical parts of one.

* [[AnimeThemeSong Anime Ending Theme Song]]: Three in fact. There are two versions of the song "Anokoroe" depending on which character you played as. The third being Isa & Kachi Mode's ending theme "Hakai".

* DegradedBoss: An unusual ''inter-regional'' example: In the Japanese version's Stage 4, the fourth and final mid-boss is the Wheel Keeper. In the North American version, not only is it moved to just before the [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja Ninja Keeper]] (the second mid-boss), it ''loses its boss status''--that is, it doesn't get a LifeMeter nor a time limit.

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]], [[PrepareToDie Your Partner Must to Die!]]: [[spoiler:The Infant Keeper's response to you killing its mother.]]

* ThighHighBoots: Isa.

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey: The Cock keeper and the Vulture keeper even more so.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Orion Tsang, the Stage 1 penultimate boss, serves as a warning that the Nebulox are not going to go down so easily.

* MetaMultiplayer: Online leaderboards.

* PuzzleBoss: Many of the bosses require you to figure out how to do more than ScratchDamage to them, ''especially'' the [=G5=]/Nebulox.
