* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: [[http://shmuplations.com/toaplan-chronicleqa/ According to]] [[WordOfGod the developers]], their goal was to "make a game with the best graphics we had ever done in Toaplan". They succeeded pretty well, as the graphics, effects and design were great for an arcade game.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: All the level and boss music are like this:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_0Pzh8m5K0 Dogyuun Magic]] (Stage 1 and 6)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIYLDQ2Tpzg Power On]] (Stage 2 and 7)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFrnzSssdRg High Speed Queen]] (Stage 3 and 8)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qArQV5v5Fk8 Onmoroid Boogie]] (Stage 4 and 9)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTvSRQhOWGQ Gamusha Rhythm]] (Stage 5 and 10)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxWT8PGyEcc Boss Music]]
* BreatherBoss: Stage 9's boss. Once you get rid of the aiming ArmCannon, his only attack becomes a destructible homing missile attack. His other arm carries a shield that doesn't even attack and only serves to tank damage.
* GoddamnedBats: The popcorn mooks can be very deadly and annoying if you do not shoot them down in time. ''[[BatOutOfHell Literal]]'' GoddamnedBats also appear in stage 6.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: One cool detail appears with the grounded enemies when destroyed- a flaming crater appears, and then the fire burns and extinguishes over time.
