4	Treasure Co., Ltd. is a video game company founded from former Creator/{{Konami}} employees in 1992. They started out with a bang -- quite literally, as their first title, ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes'' for the Sega Genesis, pushed the system to its limits with outstanding graphics, music, and sound effects, on top of amazing gameplay. Since then, Treasure has built up a reputation for their {{action game}}s, which are unique, distinctive, and often [[NintendoHard very, very challenging]].
5
6	Their repertoire is as vast as it is outstanding -- side-scrolling shooters like ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes'', fighting games like ''Rakugaki Showtime'', and a ''lot'' of extremely weird and experimental games, like ''Dynamite Headdy'', ''Stretch Panic'' and ''VideoGame/WarioWorld''.
7
8	Often cited as the [[Creator/StudioGainax Gainax]] of video games due to having similarly [[MindScrew bizarrely]] [[GainaxEnding themed]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic works]] and {{fanservice}} of the gameplay kind, or the Creator/{{Rare}} of Japan due to being able to pull off many different game genres as well as [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames good licensed games]]. Expect their games to have [[StuffBlowingUp lots of explosions]], {{Unexpected Gameplay Change}}s, and [[EasyLevelsHardBosses tons of big guys to fight]].
9
10	A common recurring element in Treasure's platforming games is a late game level featuring their other bread-and-butter genre, [[UnexpectedShmupLevel Space Shooters]].

12	As an idea of what the staff is like, when the director of ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishment'' stated the game was too [[ItsHardSoItSucks alienatingly difficult]], he was told, "[[{{Jerkass}} Our director doesn't suit us]]," "[[UnsportsmanlikeGloating Those who can't play it aren't a part of our team]]." The working title of the game before they accepted to tone it down was ''[[GlassCannon Glass Soldier]]'' -- even Treasure was considering naming it after how [[EverythingTryingToKillYou easily it killed you]]. In other words, they're the video game developer equivalent of {{Blood Knight}}s.
