* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Some English-speaking fans pronounce it "da-rye-us" (from the katakana ダライアス) rather than "da-ree-us". A good way to tell who's talking about this game and not, say, Darius from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', is if they use the former.

* FridgeHorror: Titanic Lance is one of the hardest and largest bosses in the entire series and can take several minutes (and possibly credits) to defeat. The level picture for Zone M in ''Darius Gaiden'' shows multiple Titanic Lances. Beating one is hard enough, but the very idea that it was '''mass produced''' is terrifying.

** The ''Darius Burst'' boss Dark Helios (an oarfish) transforms into the dragon from Syvalion when defeated. Sounds strange, until you find out that the oarfish could have been the inspiration for the Eastern dragon.
