''Time Gal'' is an FMV QuickTimeEvent game in the vein of ''DragonsLair'', originally developed by {{Taito}} and Wolfteam for arcades in 1985, with the animation done by ToeiAnimation.

* CanonForeigner: Reika made an appearance on the game ''CastleOfShikigami 3'' for the Wii.

* AWinnerIsYou: Once you beat the game, you get a short scene in which Reika gets a medal for saving the world, and she [[BreakingTheFourthWall blows a kiss at the player]], with the screen saying, "VICTORY!"

* NightmareFetishist: No matter how dangerous the situation, Reika always finds something to laugh at. However, she does stop laughing when things get ''too'' dangerous.

''Time Gal'' is a FullMotionVideo game in the vein of ''DragonsLair'', originally developed by Creator/{{Taito}} for arcades in 1985, with the animation done by ToeiAnimation.

* QuickTimeEvent

* SuperDeformed: Most of the death scenes render Reika as a chibi for some reason.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: A few of the death scenes aren't deaths at all. For example, in one scene in 66,000,000 B.C., a dinosaur rips her panties off. Awkward, yes, but no reason not to continue. Another one in 500 has someone whip her breast. Definitely ''painful'', but again, she could easily continue anyway. Finally, there's a death scene in 2001 where a thug slices the back of her breastplate in half. Same deal as the 66,000,000 scene.

The [[ExcusePlot "plot"]] revolves around a time bandit named Luda ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused with]] [[http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjEwMTU3MDkzOF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzc2NjM5MQ@@._V1._SX214_CR0,0,214,314_.jpg Ludacris]]) going through different time periods in order to make himself leader of the world in his own time. Another time traveler, 16-year-old Reika Kirishima, AKA Time Gal, is out to stop him. [[AllThereInTheManual There is no hint of this in the actual game, however.]] Besides the past part, anyway.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: Par for the course for a Japanese game in the early 90's. [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080513181161/sega/images/thumb/3/3f/Time_gal.jpg/280px-Time_gal.jpg Japanese cover]], [[http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Sega_CD/Box/big/Time_Gal_-_1992_-_Renovation_Products.jpg European/American cover.]]
* AWinnerIsYou: Once you beat the game, you get a short scene with Reika getting a medal for saving the world, and her [[BreakingTheFourthWall blowing a kiss at you,]] with the screen saying, "VICTORY!"
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The US SegaCD version had 666 A.D. changed to 999 A.D. It also changed the text for a Time Stop option in A.D. 1941. The original version had "Pray to God". The Us version changed it to "Hope for luck". What's more, if this option is selected, Reika actually starts praying in the Japanese version, while the American version has her say, "Please help!" She turns into an angel in both version, though.
* CatchPhrase: "Sore!" (There!), said by Reika constantly.

* OhCrap: Reika in some of the death scenes. Luda does this as well right before you defeat him.
* ShoutOut: Japanese-only: in one of the death scenes in 1588 A.D., Reika is chased by a shark. What does she say while this is happening? "[[{{Film/Jaws}} JAAAAAAAAAWZUUUUUUUUU!]]"

* WorldWarII: A.D. 1941, natch.
* YouFightLikeACow: Reika often taunts whatever's chasing her. For example, while being chased by bugs in A.D. 4000, she says, "This way, this way,!"
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair:]] Reika.

* GratuitousEnglish: For starters, "Time Gal". Also, every time Reika uses her Time Stop ability, she announces it with a shout of "STOPPU!" She finally says the whole thing before defeating Luda, announcing it with "TIIIIIIIIIME STOP!"
