- Damsel in Distress: The girl ship.
- Difficulty Levels: Easy (infinite amount of continues from checkpoints), Normal (5 continues from checkpoints), and Hard (0 continues from checkpoints, rendering them only useful for launching and forcing the player to finish stages in one go)
- Excuse Plot: The girl ship has been kidnapped by Goleyeath! Are you a bad enough ship to rescue her?
- Fake Difficulty: The left-right controls are inverted, which is hard to get used to on its own even in late game, but, when moving at fast enough speeds, the controls start working in a manner where left=left and right=right until the player slows down again.
- Green Hill Zone: It looks like it belongs in a classic era Sonic the Hedgehog game. Specifically, the first one.
- Mini-Game Credits: It's actually its own stage with a goal and coin to collect.
- Nintendo Hard
- Spikes of Doom: Narrow spike mazes are frequent.
- Scenery Porn
- Secret Level
- Unexpected Gameplay Change: There is only one boss fight in the entire game and it's the last normal level.
