* AssistCharacter: Archangel, Iceman, ComicBook/{{Storm}}, and ComicBook/{{Rogue}} appear as summonable assist character once per stage. There are several stages that provide a pickable item that allow you to restore them and summon them more than once, although if you haven't summoned them yet, the item means nothing to you. Meanwhile, ComicBook/JeanGrey always appears to rescue you whenever you fall into BottomlessPit, and unlike others, she doesn't need to be restored.



* AntiFrustrationFeatures: There are no "lives" in this game, if you lose all your health bars with a character that character can no longer be selected. To offset this, you are returned to the Danger Room's main hub after each level, which acts as a PlayerHeadquarters and is full of floating orbs you can destroy to replenish your character's health and mutant power bars.
* ArcWords: "Sometimes, you have to crush your enemies where they live!"

* AutoScrollingLevel: Not the entire level, but midway through the Shi'ar Empire stage the player hops on the outside of a Shi'ar space shuttle. It then moves from one space station to another as {{Mooks}} pile out of it to shoot you off the ship. The level also scrolls to simulate the moving shuttle and the player must beat the {{Mooks}} while also not falling into the BottomlessPits of space or getting knocked off by asteroids.
* BadFuture: Ahab's World is actually modeled after the classic X-Men bad future introduced in the ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast''.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: None of the X-Men have trouble with riding the outside of a space shuttle as it moves from one station to another.
* BattleAura: Magneto is mantled in one for most of the fight with him, to show his magnetic forcefield. He's completely invulnerable to attacks so long as it's up, and only becomes vulnerable for a few seconds after attacking himself.
** The Zaladane program also uses one while charging up its EnergyBall attacks.



* BoringButPractical: Nightcrawler never becomes unplayable unless you die as him, but his teleportation abilities still make him quite the CrutchCharacter. They were intentionally nerfed in the sequel to balance him out with the rest of the cast.



* {{Cameo}}: Forge, Beast and Psylocke all appear in the game's cutscenes. The latter two characters would become playable in the sequel.
* CasualInterstellarTravel: The second stage has Lilandra transport the player character from Earth to the Shi'ar Empire to foil yet another one of her sister's attempts to seize the throne.
* CaveBehindTheFalls: The Savage Land has numerous hidden caves with goodies behind the waterfalls.



* ComputerVirus: The plot is that Magneto has beamed a computer virus into the Danger Room from Asteroid M, causing the simulations to go haywire.
* CyberSpace: The Danger Room, which 3/5ths of the game's levels take place in.



* DeathFromAbove: Deathbird, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin not surprisingly]]. She alternates between diving attacks and FrickinLaserBeams.
* DivingKick: Nightcrawler can attack with a two-footed version.



* ExtraOreDinary: FinalBoss Magneto attacks by summoning four metal plates from offscreen which condense into a single ball and then home in on the player character.

* InASingleBound: The Zaladane boss stage features a number of platforms, and the boss herself leaps between them willy-nilly while blasting you with her EnergyBall attack.



** On the boss side, Ahab combines TeleportSpam with a BladeOnAStick for a truly nasty fight.



* MadeOfIron: Magneto and the Apocalypse program are both immune to the normally-lethal player assists.



* {{Mooks}}: Fabian Cortez, who in the comics is Magneto's first right-hand man, is in this game the template for the Asteroid M Acolytes.



* PowerGlows: Apocalypse summons glowing blue columns of light whenever he grows.
* PteroSoarer: The Savage Land level features a rare few of these which can be ridden if the player is adroit enough to reach them.
* RealAfterAll: The Shi'ar Empire stage turns out to not be a simulation like the others, though you don't find out until after you've beaten the boss and Lilandra shows up.

** BleakLevel: Mojo's Future Crunch simulates a barren wasteland near the end of time itself, and it's by far the game's darkest and most forbidding stage. Even the normally [[LargeHam hammy]] Mojo is made more menacing by being the boss of it.
** GraffitiTown: Ahab's World is this, being a stage set in a BadFuture.
** JungleJapes: The Savage Land is the game's [[GreenHillZone first level]], though owing to the NintendoHard difficulty even it can be a little daunting for new players.
** LighthousePoint: The third level is Excalibur's lighthouse, which is haunted by solid {{Hologram}}s of the player character and has not one but ''two'' MiniBoss encounters (though one is potentially skippable).
** PlayerHeadquarters: The Danger Room acts as this, allowing the X-Men to heal between stages and the player to switch between different characters.

You actually have to reset your ''actual physical Sega Genesis'', specifically a "soft reset" where you just tap the reset button rather than holding it (holding it will cause a regular reset).

!!Tropes
* AchillesHeel: Juggernaut can only be damaged when he stands still and isn't moving. ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} can only be damaged when he crouches. ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} can only be damaged when he ''attacks'', this means the best idea to hit and kill him is by using Nightcrawler's collision teleportation (see CollisionDamage below).
* AdaptationalWimp: In a way, Cyclops' optic blast isn't a HitScan like in most versions. It is instead a less-practical, although nevertheless still useful, FrickinLaserBeams.
* AssistCharacter: Archangel, Iceman, ComicBook/{{Storm}}, and ComicBook/{{Rogue}} appear as summonable assist character once per stage. There are several stages that provide a pickable item that allow you to restore them and summon them more than once, although if you haven't summoned them yet, the item means nothing to you. Meanwhile, ComicBook/JeanGrey always appears to rescue you whenever you fall into BottomlessPit, and unlike others, she doesn't need to be restored.
* AnIcePerson: Downplayed with Iceman. He only generates ice platform to help you reaches higher places, but he won't attack enemies with ice technique.
* BigBad: Magneto.
* BlueIsHeroic: All four playable character have shades of blue on their costumes.
* BottomlessPit: Virtually present in almost all stages.
* BottomlessPitRescueService: Provide the page's image. If you fall into one, ComicBook/JeanGrey will use her Telekinesis to pull you up.
* BossBattle: Juggernaut, Zaladane, Deathbird, Sabretooth, Juggernaut (again), Apocalypse, Ahab, Mojo, and Magneto.
* CainAndAbel: Deathbird and Lilandra. In Shi'ar Empire stage, Lilandra said Deathbird wants to kill her, so she teleported one of the X-Man (your character) to Shi'ar to defeat Deathbird, without any permission (since said X-Man thought it's just a simulation training from Danger Room).
* CollisionDamage: This version of Nightcrawler can weaponize his teleportation technique in this way. Simply put: if there's enemy(ies) in the gap between the place where Nightcrawler came from and his destination, they will take OneHitKill damage.
* DeathDealer: Gambit's special attack, as usual.
* DoubleJump: Cyclops and Gambit can double jump, although hilariously enough, Gambit's double jump isn't all that high.
* FlechetteStorm: Archangel's main attack.
* JavelinThrower: Ahab's main attack.
* TheJuggernaut: Juggernaut, obviously. Although he doesn't attack you with only his headbutt, but he also punches you if you get too close on him.
* LightningBruiser: While all characters' attack strength isn't all that different, Nightcrawler is easily the fastest and the most agile of all. Unfortunately, though, he can't double jump, although he can make up for it with his teleportation technique.
* LosingYourHead: Sentinels in Ahab's World stage can be dispatched by attacking their head until it is detached from their bodies. Since they're robots, however, they will be back with reattached head several seconds later.
* OneHitKill: All heroes' special attack and all assist characters' attack will one-hit kill many non-boss enemies.
* RegeneratingHealth: Wolverine has HealingFactor, so he's the only hero whose health can replenish on itself, albeit slowly.
* SpreadShot: If Cyclops uses his optic blast while doing double jump, his optic blast will be this.
* UnstoppableRage: If you force-activate Wolverine's claw when he lacks of energy, he will go berserk and attack everything around him, including himself.
* WeaponizedTeleportation: Nightcrawler. See CollisionDamage above. Ahab also does a similar technique, while he also throws javelin to you when he teleports out.
* WolverineClaws: Take a guess who.
