4	A horizontal shootem-up released in 2012 and part of Lucky Lamp Project's ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'' series of doujin games.
5
6	Taking place one day before the previous game, Attack of Dark Force, Star Resistance begins with Sharkungo and Force Star returning from a Star Lore victory only to discover that Dark Force is attacking the Shakun Star. The tag team duo ditch their transport to fight across 6 stages of hostiles, from the Satellite Mesa and space port to the heart of the royal capital city.
7
8	Apart from Sharkungo and Force Star, the valkyrie Valhalla and demon girl Nemuri are available to play by default, and three others are unlockable. Each character has their own unique play style and their own story to follow, often with unique Rival Fight boss encounters to replace the standard final boss fight.

13	----
14	!!''EXTRAPOWER: Star Resistance'' provides examples of:
15
16	* AbnormalAmmo: What other shooter game has you attack by launching punches and kicks across the screen?
17	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The first half of Stage 2 takes place in the sewers beneath the Shakun Star.
18	* ActionGirl: Valhalla, Nemuri and Valdiora are this. Valhalla comes with a whole squad of Action Girls.
19	* AfterCombatRecovery: At the end of each stage, you can regain life based on how many enemies were defeated that stage.
20	* AIIsACrapshoot: The Shakun Star central computer is built like a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever massive]] bodybuilder with SculptedPhysique and layers of difficult defense. The bad news: it becomes infected with dark energy and becomes the Stage 6 BossOnlyLevel.
21	* AlienInvasion: The game follows the fall of the Shakun Star to the Dark Force Army.
22	* AllThereInTheManual: The game download comes with a document listing the names and descriptions of various allies and enemies that otherwise don't get addressed in-game.
23	* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: As part of the conquest of the Shakun Star. Cities have fallen, defense systems now work for the Dark Force Army, and even the central computer tower gets taken over.
24	* ArchNemesis: Dark Force is this to Sharkungo. Other characters have their own arch-nemeses, such as Valdiora and Valhalla.
25	* AlienInvasion: This is Dark Force's intention for the Shakun Star, the Earth, and the universe at large.
26	* AmazonBrigade: Valhalla and her Valkyries.
27	* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Some characters are this to each other. Sharkungo and Force Star begin their stories similarly, then diverge. Valhalla, Nemuri and Valdiora intersect with sometimes opposing objectives.
28	* TheAssimilator: Mensouma has shades of this, being able to use his cells to take over machines.
29	* AscendedExtra: Valhalla was only mentioned once in Attack of Dark Force and never seen. Galaxy Star played a major role as a support NPC, but was not playable. Here they both become player characters, with their own stories.
30	* AttackDrone: A few enemies take this form, either as part of Undata's mechanized troops or local defenses taken over by Mensouma.
31	* BackgroundBoss: Stage 1 boss Undata returns in stage 5, having [[MakeMyMonsterGrow been embiggened by dark energy]] once more. As the player ascends the Shakun Star central compuer tower, Undata is visible through the glass behind it, too big to fully fit on screen. His massive [[ThisIsADrill drill arms]] stab through the sides and let his assault-type Clay Kids pour in. The player has to dodge his drills and subsequent attacks while doing enough damage to the drills to repel them.
32	* TheBadGuyWins: An inevitability considering Attack of Dark Force begins with the conquest of the Shakun Star.
33	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Zanber Head is a giant mecha and Galaxy Star has his goldfish bowl helmet, but there is nothing that helps Sharkungo, Force Star, Valhalla, Nemiru or Valdiora breathe in space apart from their own lungs and maybe their alien/magical/demonic natures.
34	* BehemothBattle: Occurs in the background of Stage 4. As the player fights through the capital city, a Stone Mack begins stomping through the background, only half its body able to fit on screen at a time, [[MookMaker releasing Clay Kids]] each time it returns. A little after, Metal Giga shows up, grappling Stone Mack until he explosively sends its head flying.
35	* BewareMyStingerTail: Spy Flies are equipped with an elongated, hardened tail with a knife-like tip for their primary attack.
36	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Sunny Day and Funny Face are firmly comic relief characters. They also come at the end of the three-phase Stage 4 gauntlet with patterns that can trip you up.
37	* BigBadDuumvirate: Undata and Mensouma are Dark Force's right hand commanders and his primary presence in the game. They will be fought as bosses individually then return for the penultimate Stage 5.
38	* BigCreepyCrawlies: Spy Flies. Cormorants. The Mother Cormorant.
39	* BigOMG: A big one is given midway through Stage 4, watching Dark Force level the Shakun Star capital city with [[OrbitalBombardment a dark strike cannon]] blast. ''OH MY GOD! The city is.... destroyed.''
40	* BittersweetEnding: You've made it through 6 stages of endless enemies and tough bosses and finally completed your character's personal story! But the Shakun Star has still been invaded by the Dark Force Army and at least one major city has been completely leveled.
41	* BlockingStopsAllDamage: Unique to Valhalla is her shield that can reduce all damage for as long as it's active, at the cost of disabling her attacks. Zanber Head can also block regular bullets from the front when at max power.
42	* BossOnlyLevel: Stage 6. Any character-specific final boss that occurs after Stage 6 also becomes this.
43	* BossRush: The unlockable Rival Fight lets you fight any major boss as any character. Clearing them all with no game overs reward achievement badges.
44	* BossWarningSiren: ''WARNING! HYPER ENERGY COMES SOON!!''
45	* BottomlessMagazines: Punches. Lasers. Rockets. Mines. Spears. Whatever projectiles you're using, nobody's running out.
46	* BugWar: Against Mensouma's bioroid units. His most common unit is the Spy Fly, giant bipedal dragonflies with hardened, knife-like tails, that Zerg Rush at every stage of the invasion to the very end.
47	* BuildingSwing: The purpose of the building monkey enemy, using their elongated arms to swing up and through buildings for better assault ability.
48	* BulletHell: Some levels definitely become this, especially towards the end. And bosses don't know the meaning of mercy!
49	* ButtMonkey: Sunny Day and Funny Face return and continue to be this. They can even blow themselves up in the last phase of their boss fight.
50	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Any machine taken over by Mensouma's cells are compelled to obey him.
51	* BrotherSisterTeam: The orphan siblings who command Zanber Head.
52	* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Sunny Day and Funny Face, Dark Force's ''other'' recurring duo. Whereas Undata and Mensouma are capable commanders described as Dark Force's two right hands, Sunny Day and Funny Face are played for comedy when they are fought. They'll even manage to blow ''themselves'' up in the second phase of their boss fight after combining their vehicles - simply because they didn't realize how top-heavy it would be, and end up lobbing missiles onto themselves!
53	* CagedInsideAMonster: The implication with the large organ-shaped enemies that populate the [[PhantomZone Ghost Gate]] that the players get pulled into partway through Stage 4. [[AllThereInTheManual The exploration report]] fears that if these large masses truly are organs as they appear to be, then the entire dimension must be an unfathomably massive creature.
54	* TheCameo: Rack up near perfect kills in Stage 1 and Stage 2 for a [[https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/2602 Happy Challenger Yamada]] cameo after the attack ship. This also appears on Paladin runs if almost no kills have been made on stages 1 and 2 instead.
55	* ChallengeRun: The game has an achievements system that encourages it, from One Credit Clears with all characters and complete BossRush clears to completing the game with minimal kills.
56	* ChariotPulledByCats: Nemuri's sled is pulled by Edelweiss... a giant, clawed red hand that she found floating in space. It loyally conveys her though space and skies and attack on command. Nemuri makes it clear that she isn't sure what Edelweiss even is, but it's actually a Bem -- a parasitic space organism last seen in [[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]].
57	* ChasedByAngryNatives: The indigenous Meza Aliens on Stage 1 will attack the player for intruding on their Satellite Mesa.
58	* ChromeChampion: Metal Giga, a gigantic Superstar covered in metal skin who battles with Stone Mack in Stage 4.
59	* ColorCodedElements: The valkyries that accompany Walhalla are colour-coded to their element: the Flame Valkyrie is dressed in red, the Water Valkyrie in blue, the Leaf Valkyrie in green. The Valkyries of Light are white-haired and dress in a lighter shade of blue. Walhalla herself is the Atmosphere Valkyrie and can manifest a large lightning bird as a secondary [[DesperationAttack EXTRAPOWER attack]], and wears long yellow hair and golden armour.
60	* CombatTentacles: Certain enemies such as Building Monkeys or Rem's Clay Kid mount will have this.
61	* CombiningMecha: Zanber Head is this. Activate its EXTRAPOWER and it combines with the Zanber Core to form a larger, more powerful robot.
62	* ContinuingIsPainful: Get hit and you lose one stage of power. Die and continue and you start with minimal power, potentially deep into the stage and maybe with one power-up before the boss. Major bosses are thankfully preceded by a MAXIMUM POWER.
63	* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: The crew of Zanber Head lost their parents when Dark Force attacked their home world. Now they pilot a giant mecha across space to liberate conquered planets!
64	* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind: Should you not pay attention when fighting Mensouma.
65	* Cool Sword: Valdiola and Valhalla come equipped with these.
66	* CranialProcessingUnit: The Shakun Star central computer is a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever massive robot]] with [[SculptedPhysique the muscles of a body builder]]. Despite its immense size and plates of armour all over its rock solid body, the head is what needs to be targeted and destroyed layer by layer to finally disable it.
67	* CreatorCameo: Punch one of the last panels in the space port at the start of Stage 2.
68	* CrosshairAware: The penultimate Stage 6 boss will splash some of these for certain late-phase attacks.
69	* DarkestHour: This game presents this for Sharkungo's faction leading up to the events of Attack of Dark Force. Can't get much lower than watching your home planet quickly taken over and major population centers leveled in a second.
70	* ADayInTheLimelight: Valhalla was an unseen hero only mentioned as defending San Antonio in Attack of Dark Force. Here she is expanded into a full fledged player character, with her own origin story leading up to her joining the heroes of Earth.
71	* DeathByCameo: Every stage has a bonus that you can activate and then collect for points. Find Needle・Sandman, and the only way to interact with him is to destroy him with a Final Crash!
72	* DemonSlaying: The valkyries are fully opposed to demons and are the character boss for Valdiora. [[spoiler:They'll turn against Valhalla in a heart-beat the moment she shows a hint of demon in herself]].
73	* DistressCall: The game begins this way for Sharkungo and Forcestar, who receive a distress signal from Daitoku Igor - the Shakun Star is being invaded - by the very team they just triumphed over in the wrestling ring! Except now they've brought an army of [[RobotWar robots]] and [[BugWar spy flies]] to subjugate Sharkungo's home planet. They are compelled to abandon the spaceship and fly directly to Shakun on their own power to intervene, starting the game.
74	* DoomedHometown: Sharkungo's home planet falling to an AlienInvasion is the subject of the game.
75	* DownerEnding: You can win, but the Shakun Star will still be conquered and its cities destroyed.
76	* DualBoss: Sunny Day and Funny Face return from ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]''. They fight in two separate vehicles, and combine when their health get low enough.
77	* DynamicEntry: Undata's appearance at the end of Stage 1. And the start of Stage 5.
78	* EasterEgg: Each stage has at least one secret that may be found, usually a reference to Lucky Lamp Project. One Easter Egg even summons the protagonist of [[https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/2602 Happy Challenger Yamada]].
79	* EliteMook: Enemies such as Sinner Shaper, Stone Mack or Plasma Boss will augment the regular {{Mooks}}.
80	* EliteArmy: Dark Force's army in general, but the gauntlet of Stage 4 and 5 are especially this.
81	* EmergencyWeapon: When on your last health, pressing your 3 attack buttons in the correct order will activate a powerful EXTRAPOWER transcendental attack.
82	* EmpireWithADarkSecret: Reveals the Shakun Star to be this.
83	** In the present day, Sharkungo's home planet is a peace-loving world that, at most, [[ProWrestlingIsReal take Star Lore as]] SeriousBusiness. In Sharkungo's FinalBoss fight with Blue Armour, the ancient spirit laments that Star Lore in now only a tool for sport instead of the weapon of conquest that it used to be.
84	** In the underground tunnels of Stage 3, it is discovered that Shakun warriors of the past were more warlike, leaving evil ghosts and ancient tanks to populate the second half of the level, and even used to be a MakerOfMonsters, producing the undying Gustav.
85	** And the Shakun Star central computer, which controls the defense of the entire planet? Secretly [[spoiler: a CrystalPrison both trapping an unknown green-haired woman and [[PoweredByAForsakenChild drawing power from her]]]].
86	* EnergyWeapon: Forcestar's primary attack is launching a beam [[HandBlast out of his hand]]. A weaker attack than other characters', it penetrates enemies and widens at every power up.
87	* EvilCostumeSwitch: The valkyries dress in bright colours and designs based upon their element. Valdiora, a former [[FaceHeelTurn valkyrie turned demon]], dresses in black armour punctuated with red, and uses similar black-and-red sword and flail.
88	* EvilLaugh: Dark Force and Astral Gate are prone to this.
89	* EvolvingTitleScreen: The default title screen shows Sharkungo and Forcestar fighting a swarm of Clay Kids and Mensouma and Undata watch on. After all player characters are completed, the player is rewarded with a new title screen showcasing all the player characters.
90	* FinalBoss: Each character has a rival fight that usually occurs after Stage 6, unless their rival is fought at the end of Stage 4, which instead will make the Stage 6 fight their final boss.
91	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When playing as Sharkungo, pay attention to the blue armour randomly laying on the ground in Stage 3.
92	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Any time the other Star Lore Superstars are seen beating up enemies in the background, especially in Stages 4 and 5 where one enemy gets sat on and, after an extremely tense gauntlet, two superstars thrash a single building monkey.
93	* GameplayGrading: Gives you a higher rank based on total enemy kills, ranked for each individual stage and for the whole game. Higher rank is generally better, and encouraged by granting health restoration at the end of the stage based upon rank. However, earning low enough ranks throughout the game - which is to say, [[PacifistRun with minimal kills]] - grants the elusive Paladin achievement.
94	* GiantMook: Big Clay Kid is... wait for it... a big version of the Clay Kid.
95	* GiantSpider: Cormorants and especially the Mother Cormorant.
96	* GratuitousEnglish: Sometimes used for effect. ''Oh my God!''
97	* GratuitousGreek: The characters Nemuri and Rem are spelled in-game as νεμλι and Λεμ.
98	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Mīchan-sai, a Star Lore Superstar that gives power-ups to Sharkungo. The people of the Shakun Star are also apparently this, as a crowd of them can be seen fleeing in Stage 4. The ghosts of ancient Shakun warriors in Stage 3 are also green.
99	* HandBlast: Forcestar's energy blasts are fired out from his hand.
100	* HistoricalInJoke: Undata's Clay Kids resemble Jomon-era Dogu. In certain pseudoscientific circles, Dogu are believed to depict ancient astronauts or aliens.
101	* HitboxDissonance: A game option makes your hitbox visible. It is literally a box, a tiny pixel-sized box in the middle of your character sprite.
102	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If you don't attack Sunny Day and Funny Face in their final phase, this will happen to them.
103	* HordeOfAlienLocusts: The Meza Insects of Stage 1. They exist to satisfyingly test your power-ups on a full screen of explosive enemies.
104	* HoverBot: The Clay Kid line of attack robots, resembling hovering, flying Jomon-era Dogu.
105	* HumongousMecha: Zanber Head is the largest player character, almost as tall as the screen. Activating its transcendental ability combines Zanber Head with the Zanber Core, making it even bigger!
106	* HyperspaceArsenal: Galaxy Star carries enough missiles and mines to suggest this.
107	* InsectoidAliens: The Spy Fly troop type under Mensouma's bioroid units. Bipedal dragonflies the size of an average human adult with a hardened, knife-sharp tail, they're one of the most common troop types for [[BigBad Dark Force's]] conquest of the universe.
108	* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: Stage 5 disrupts the horizontal shoot'em-up formula of the past 4 stages by having you ascend the Central Computer Towel, all while attacked by enemies from above, below, and outside.
109	* JetPack: Turns out not all the alien characters are gifted with superhuman flight. Daitoku Igor is more mundane in his abilities, and keeps up with Sharkungo and Forcestar via jetpack. In ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]'', this is also how he makes his escape when the robots he pilots get destroyed.
110	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: An ability unique to Valhalla.
111	* MadeOfExplodium: Every single enemy will either explode in a spray of green guts or explode in a fireball. Often with only one hit.
112	* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Upon defeating Undata the first time, he will be revived with dark power and continue the fight at twice his size. In Stage 5, he will be enlarged enough to not even fit the screen!
113	* MarathonLevel: Stage 4 is the length of three full-sized levels, taking you through a gauntlet of enemies in the Shakun Star's capital city, warps you away to the [[PhantomZone Ghost Gate]] to fight through weird enemies and a boss, and Then drops you in the ruins of the city to face a ZergRush of {{Mooks}} and [[EliteMook Elite Mooks]] ''And Then'' lets you fight the actual Stage Boss!
114	* MaskedLuchador: Sharkungo, the [[ProWrestlingIsReal Star Lore Superstar]] who is always seen in his red mask with a star over the face.
115	* MasterComputer: The Shakun Star has a central computer that manages all the defenses of the planet. It gets taken over by Mensouma at the end of his second boss fight. The central computer is also a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever massive towering robot]] with SculptedPhysique so it becomes necessary to attack it while dodging its punches and several layers of defense.
116	** In Galaxy Star's route, [[LampshadeHanging he comments on]] the importance of decentralizing important computer systems after the fight.
117	* MechaMook: Primarily employed by Undata, though Mensouma acquires some from the Shakun Star's defenses.
118	* MirrorBoss: Blue Armor, the ghost of an ancient Shakun Star warrior, uses a form of Star Yui similar to Sharkungo. Like Sharkungo, he attacks by launching his RapidFireFisticuffs and projections of himself across the screen and can spin in a star shape to attack the player. But as a final boss, he attacks with greater ferocity than the player is capable of, and has additional attacks unavailable to Sharkungo in theme with the other attacks, such as launching a ring of defensive stars around him or saturating the screen in offensive projections as a desperation attack.
119	* MookMaker: Stone Mack fills this role in this game, deploying squadrons of Clay Kids before being explosively defeated by Metal Giga.
120	* {{Mooks}}: The Clay Kid and Spy Fly line of enemies fill this role.
121	* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Flattening the Shakun Star capital city with a mega-laser will do that]].
122	* NobleDemon: Monokage appears to be this while in service to Nemuri. Maris-sama is a high ranking demon, but is willing to defend the Earth from Dark Force if Nemuri's report deems it necessary.
123	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Upon witnessing Dark Force level the capital city]] ''Oh my God!''
124	* OrbitalBombardment: By the midpoint of Stage 4, [[spoiler:you witness Dark Force do this to the royal capital city]].
125	* OrbitingParticleShield: Forcestar's specialty is creating these, summoning up to three crystals that revolve around him and block most damage until they shatter. As a bonus: with three out at once, they can be combined and launched forward for a massive attack that destroys bullets and takes half the screen on impact!
126	* PacifistRun: The game throws tons of enemies on you with the expectation that you're going to make them all explode in waves of fireballs and/or green viscera. But for especially determined and patient players, you can pull off a no- or low-kills run to achieve the Paladin rank. Easiest to perform as Valhalla, who gets a giant shield and the ability to prevent all damage for a limited time. This run turns the game into even more of a BulletHell as every enemy remaining on screen fills it with even more bullets and contact damage obstacles to avoid, alleviated somewhat with the Paladin rank increasing max life after each stage that achieves it.
127	* PerkyFemaleMinion: Nemuri is this to Maris-sama. For a warlike demon dispatched by a high-ranked demon, she's almost permanently chipper,
128	* PhantomZone: Halfway through Stage 4, you get sent through the Ghost Gate, an alternate dimension filled with bizarre enemies.
129	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Nemuri and Rem are powerful demons, but are either children or children-sized. The overpowered Zanber Head are crewed by actual human children.
130	* PoliceAreUseless: At the end of Valhalla's ending, after her exile to Earth. A robbery in broad daylight is too much for the local police, so leave it to the MagicalGirlWarrior valkyrie with a CoolSword to give chase for them.
131	* PortTown: A space port in this case. The first part of the Shakun Star to fall to Dark Force.
132	* PreMortemOneLiner: Galaxystar gives one when he grapples an enemy for his Final Crash attack, just before pumping them with a full blast of laser pistol. ''Good night!''
133	* ProWrestlingIsReal: Star Lore isn't just professional wrestling, it's a noble competitive sport and SeriousBusiness. Taken to its extreme, the spirit of an ancient Shakun warrior is enraged that what used to be a tool of war and conquest is now "merely" sport.
134	* RapidFireFisticuffs: See the page picture. Sharkungo attacks by punching so fast, his punches fly across the screen!
135	* RecurringBoss: Mensouma and Undata are fought multiple times throughout the game.
136	* RedOniBlueOni: Sharkungo is the Red to Forcestar's Blue.
137	* RoboSpeak: The Shakun Star central computer speaks in a heavy digital voice upon activation.
138	* RobotWar: Against Undata's robot army. His most common unit is the Clay Kid, assault robots resembling Jomon-era dogu, which ZergRush throughout any game featuring a Dark Force invasion. Apart from Clay Kids, he fields numerous EliteMook robots such as [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Stone Mack]], [[FireBreathingWeapon Fire Boo]], or [[SapientTank Plasma Boss]].
139	* RuleofCool: The default character is a masked wrestling prince who flies through space and attacks swarms of enemies by shooting his punches and kicks across the screen. It only gets more wild from there.
140	* SchmuckBait: At least one power-up is positioned in such a way as to put you in range of an upcoming enemy's attack. Thankfully a rare occurrence.
141	* SerialEscalation: Each level lives off this.
142	* ShockAndAwe: The {{Thunderbird}} that Walhalla is able to summon as a second EXTRAPOWER attack. This also carries over to the final phase of the Valkyries boss fight, when all four valkyries rotate through their most powerful elemental attacks.
143	* ShooOutTheClowns: After Sunny Day and Funny Face are defeated at the end of Stage 4, all that's left is the vertical ascent of the Central Computer Tower, the full stage boss of Stage 6, and any applicable final boss.
144	* SoMuchForStealth: This was supposed to be a stealth mission, Nemuri! Maris-sama is exasperated that Nemuri ditches the stealth part of her mission as early as Stage 1.
145	* StalkedByTheBell: Take too long to fight a boss and one of Dark Force's hands appears on screen and homes in on the player to disrupt their defensive pattern.
146	* StarPower: Sharkungo features stars heavily in his aesthetic. His [[ProWrestlingIsReal wrestling uniform]] consists of a crop top with a star emblazoned across his chest and [[MaskedLuchador across his mask]]. He's a Star Lore Superstar, the prince of the Shakun Star, and fights using Star Yui martial arts, which incorporates stellar imagery and naming such as in his Star Bit attack and Shooting Star final crash.
147	* SummonMagic: Rem attacks with many of the same summons as Blackberry in other ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'' games.
148	* ThisIsADrill: Undata's method of melee attack.
149	* TimedMission: While the stages themselves are autoscrollers, the boss battles have a hidden timer. Take too long, and [[BigBad Dark Force's]] hand saunters into screen and begins homing onto your character, breaking your defensive pattern until either you or the boss is dead.
150	* TinmanTypist: The Wire Mains seen in the Dark Force attack ship in Stage 2 are designed to operate the attack ships' control panels..
151	* {{Thunderbird}}: Walhalla is unique in having two [[DesperationAttack EXTRAPOWER attacks]] -- first she summons the valkyries to her aid, then she can opt to gather them into a massive bird of lightning that attacks across the screen for big damage. Unfortunately for Waldiola and anyone trying to clear the [[BossRush Rivals Fights]] on one life, Walhalla keeps this attack in the last stage of the Valkyries boss fight.
152	* TookALevelInBadass: Sharkungo and Force Star are powerful in Attack of Dark Force but begin that game having been defeated by the Dark Force invasion, and requires a team effort to take down a squad of Clay Kids or Spy Flies. In this game, he can potentially destroy the entire Dark Force invasion force solo, including elite enemies that would take the whole team to down.
153	* TransformingMecha: Zanber Head is this. Typically it is a large humanoid robot. Upon activating transcendental ability, it transforms into a head and joins with Zanber Core to form a larger, more powerful robot.
154	* UndergroundLevel: The underground sewers and tunnels in Stage 3.
155	* TheUnfought: Dark Force [[spoiler:apart from as an OptionalBoss in the BossRush mode]] is not actually fought in the game, the players only ever fight his two right hand commanders and their minions. Taking the fight to Dark Force himself occurs in ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce Attack of Darkforce]]''.
156	* UrbanRuins: The latter third of Stage 4 takes place in the ruins of the capital city.
157	* VengefulGhost: Stage 3 is populated by warrior ghosts from the Shakun Star's violent, warmongering past. These forsaken souls are bound to their buried battlegrounds and persist through the sheer force of their hunger for conquest.
158	* VerbalTic: Sunny Day and Funny Face's token giggles return with them. ''Guuguuguu. Kyororororo!''
159	* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Shakun Star Central Computer tower in Stage 5.
160	* VideoGameCaringPotential: You don't necessarily need to destroy the Needle・Sandman easter egg, he's only worth 1 point.
161	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Or you could.
162	* VillainEpisode: Nemuri is a literal demon, though on reconnoissance to see if Maris-chan should support the Earth. Valdiora is much more firmly villainous, directly opposing Valhalla and the Valkyries in both their stories.
163	* VillainOfAnotherStory: Astral Gate is hinted to be more involved than expected in Force Star's story. This is explored more in Attack of Dark Force.
164	* WarriorPrince: Sharkungo isn't just the [[ProWrestlingIsReal Stare Lore]] champion, he's also Prince of the Shakun Star and doesn't hesitate to fight when the Dark Force army invades his planet.
165	* WeaksauceWeakness: Mensouma is weak to dish soap of all things. At the end of his first boss fight, an ally flies in and chases him off with soap. ''Thank you, Monokage!''
166	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Galaxy Star's armour bears an American flag design.
167	* WhamEpisode: Partway through Stage 4, when [[spoiler:you witness Dark Force demolish the royal capital city]].
168	* WhereItAllBegan: This game is this for Sharkungo and Forcestar's involvement in the series.
169	* WorldOfBadass: It's EXTRAPOWER. Even the war orphans are badasses!
170	* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Blue Armor]] eventually considers Sharkungo to be this.
