* ThatOneAchievement: From ''Double Peace'': the ''Battle of the Bae: Ekoro'' achievement, as well as the ''Kurona'' and ''Patako'' ones (since they both fight exactly the same). You have to hit a small, fast target that fires multiple shots that force you to focus on them to avoid taking damage, yet still need to do well enough on your accuracy to get five stars. You can't wait until they stay still, either, since that costs enough time to ruin a five star time rank. And trying to do this from Score Attack Stage Select makes it even more difficult since you get stuck with no damage upgrades, putting even more time pressure on you.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with the ''Data Gatherer'' achievement, also from the same game, which directs you to complete the profile for every girl in the game. The game has a profile for every girl, and there's three levels of completion medals you can get on a profile: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Barring specific cases (e.g. Shinobu and Maya Kamizono), Getting Gold requires you to do three things: complete the entire left half of the profile (which itself requires getting their handbook, getting their three sizes, and using Doki Doki mode at least once), Obtain all three outfits in the profile view (which requires using Doki Doki mode on them in corresponding levels), and finishing Unseen Destiny with that girl. Silver only requires two of the three tasks done, and bronze is given for completing any one task. The ''Data Gatherer'' achievement thankfully only requires Silver medals (or better) on all profiles, so you don't have to do Unseen Destiny 70+ times.

** ''Pretty Pictures'' from the same game can become this if you don't know how to unlock some of the [=CGs=] (or even know certain endings even have [=CGs=]). Get every major girl's true end? obvious enough. Get Ekoro's and Kurona's bad ends? not quite as obvious, but sure. Fail the Shinobu Window Rescue event? Not intuitive, but possible to accidentally get, given control issues that can pop up on the PC version. Get the bad end in Unseen Destiny? Not something you can accidentally do, and you wouldn't think to do it given that the character that's involved in resolving it already has a route.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: ''Gal*Gun 2'' is noticeably easier when compared to ''Double Peace''. In ''Double Peace'', while most of the levels are manageable enough in difficulty, the boss battles required precise and quick timing with your controls if you wanted to get the [[GoldenEnding best ending]] for the girl of your choice and it was rather difficult enough to accomplish effectively. ''2'' decided to drop the iffy prerequisites and made the boss battles easier, as well as adding more AntiFrustrationFeatures.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The entire premise. The extreme, completely unapologetic focus on anything sexual a centimeter short of any ''actual'' sexual content on a ''rail shooter'' is so absurd that it wraps back around to hilarious and [[CultClassic strangely charming.]]

* CrackIsCheaper: ''Double Peace'' has a $90 DLC that allows you to see through the girls' clothes. And there's already an in-game item that does the same thing which can be purchased from the game's store once you've reached rank A in a playthrough. That's right, it's a $90 DLC that lets you get something earlier in the game than you otherwise could have. This is intentional, considering it was given the absurd price tag as a joke.
