* PolishedPort: Surprisingly, the UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} version is an example of this, widely regarded as being one of the very few games on the system to ''not'' be a PortingDisaster.

* NightmareRetardant: The aforementioned ContinueCountdown is quite scary... until you run out of time and the buzzsaw actually reaches Ryu's body, at which point the action simply freezes, the colors turn red, and he lets out [[{{Narm}} an underwhelming "oom..."]]

** The infamous continue screen reeks of this, in which the player character is tied down to a table while a buzz saw is slowly lowered down towards him. It's pretty much the only thing gamers remember from this game.

* MemeticMutation: "[[SuspiciouslySimilarSong I Am Man]]"[[note]]The boss music for the second stage in the arcade ''Ninja Gaiden'' game sounds too similar to Music/BlackSabbath's "Iron Man", and the name of the song, "I Am Man", doesn't even try to hide the fact that it is.[[/note]]

* HilariousInHindsight: the bosses of Stage 3 are three masked fighters, who wield long claws and jump like crazy. You fight them in Las Vegas. Three years later, ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' featured Vega, a very similar masked fighter with claw who appeared as the boss.

* {{Narm}} This game is rife with this at the "round clear" screens of each stage. Specific mention is its premise: [[ExcusePlot a seemingly random]] [[GratuitousNinja ninja]] [[ExcusePlot who happens to be Ryu goes to America]] ("NINJA IN U.S.A.") [[ExcusePlot to beat the crap out of an evil cult]] full of hockey-mask wearing thugs, sumo and normal wrestlers alike, and various others, all led by "Bladedamus", a descendant of UsefulNotes/{{Nostradamus}} clad in BDSM gear and with a mural of death and a similarly-clad man's ass in his throne room. One of the clear cards even depicts Ryu cheerfully messing up a window cleaner's work (and spooking them), and another has him shooting craps at a casino table, clad in a [[RealMenWearPink pink suit]] and surrounded by PlayboyBunny girls!

** About the only thing anybody knows about the original arcade machine is the circular saw from the continue screen.
