* BellyFlopCrushing: Two of the oversized, pot-bellied mooks, the babylike "Mango" and the overweight "Butcher", will occasionally jump above the players and attempt crushing them with their bellies. These attacks are significantly harder to avoid and cost more life damage than fists or kicks.

''Demolish Fist'' is a 2003 3D-BeatEmUp arcade action game developed by Dimps and Sammy Corporation (before it's merging with Creator/{{Sega}}).

In [[{{Zeerust}} 2015]] (12 years after the game's release), a powerful organization called the Methuselah Corp is running ilicit activities involving creating genetically-enhanced bio-weapons, including artificial humans and giant monsters. An elite four-man squad of mercenaries called "The Missionaries" are sent to investigate.

* GasMaskMooks: The Striker-class mooks of the Methuselah Corp are always clad in gasmasks. It makes them ambiguous, whether they are human mooks or mutants (since you first encounter them in Luna Park, a level that have plenty of mutated mooks as well).
* GiantMook: The overweight "Butcher" enemies, artificially created obese ''[[FanDisservice naked]]'' humanoids a few feet taller than the players and other low-level mooks.

* TeleportSpam: Eight, as well as Senator Kain [[spoiler: in his final OneWingedAngel form]]. They repeatedly port all over the damn arena, making them difficult to hit, but landing consecutive punches on them before they can start porting is a good strategy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Implied with Undead, the only member of the playable characters with his MysteriousPast, and being the most bloodthirsty, violent, borderline sadistic character of the game who gleefully claws up mooks (while the other players are government agents doing their jobs).

* VehicularAssault: Every now and then, enemies will try to run you down with motorcycles or vehicles. One of the bosses is notably an armoured truck called a Hulk A-6 which has razor blades on its front, mooks armed with machine-guns shooting from the sides, and will repeatedly try running you over until you punch it into scrap.
* WolverineClaws: Undead sports clawed, metal gauntlets on his fists, and he is the only playable character who starts off with weapons. There are also the Guinea-type mooks, mutants created by the Methuselah, but their claws are ''organically-grafted''.
