YMMV: Killer Instinct
  • Awesome Music:
    • The opening theme of the game.
    • Riptor's theme.
    • Tusk's Conan like theme song.
    • Orchid's theme in the second game, "Play Hard," complete with vocals.
    • Also Cinder's theme, "Trailblazer," which could double as the boss music for Eyedol depending on what stage he was fought on.
    • Fulgore's KI2 Theme.
      • His KI1 theme, too.
  • Ear Worm: T.J.Combo's theme song:
    Feel the power baby!!!
    • The Humiliation theme. A short, looping disco-esque theme that WILL get trapped in your skull.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Fulgore.
  • Game Breaker:
    • Cinder could do an infinite hit combo, and it was easier for some.
    • Eyedol's infinite hit combo.
  • Memetic Mutation:
  • Nightmare Retardant: Fulgore is a big, hulking evil robot with glowy red eyes, long claws, and a multitude of deadly weapons at his disposal. He also makes elephant noises when you hit him.
  • Polished Port: Thanks to Nintendo having the programming team for the arcade version handle the Super Nintendo and Game Boy ports, instead of outsourcing it to a third-party developer. The result is that the SNES version was well-received and the GB version was surprisingly faithful, and more importantly, playable.
  • Rated M for Money - Fairly blatant at that. It was actually rated T, but the intent was still there.
  • They Copied It, So It Sucks: One of the criticisms towards the game was that it was a Mortal Kombat clone.
