* PaperThinDisguise: While Mask De Pedro's disguise as the captain is completely perfect, he's revealed as an impostor much earlier on Route 3, yet the heroes still fall for his WoundedGazelleGambit later.
* PepperSneeze: You can use the pepper shaker in every game to do this.
* ThePresidentsDaughter: You have to rescue her in all three games, though in the first game it was actually the daughter of a ''company'' president rather than the US president.
* PressXToNotDie: All games have these between areas; failure means either taking damage or having to fight extra enemies.

* WouldHurtAChild: When cornered in ''Deka 2'', Hongo tries to throw the president's daughter off the top of the ship you're on. On Route 3, He and De Pedro sadistically rough her up prior to taking her to his hideout.

* ArmCannon: In the FinalBoss fight of ''2'' and ''EX'', Wolf Hongo has one of these (A wrist-mounted gun in ''2'', a cybernetic claw in ''EX''), that fires either machinegun rounds or missiles.

''Dynamite Cop'' (known as ''Dynamite Deka'' in Japan) is a small series of [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade]] [[BeatEmUp beat 'em ups]] from Creator/{{Sega}}. It was born in the context when the 3D technology was quickly becoming the industry's standard. The games were designed and directed by Makoto Uchida, who's previously responsible for ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast'' and ''VideoGame/GoldenAxe''.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: One of the bosses in ''Deka 2'' is a wholesale and thoroughly pissed [[GiantSquid kraken]] that's beneath the engine room for some inexplicable reason. [[spoiler:Ending 3 in ''EX'' implies it may be an alien]].

** In the first WolfHongo appears in several quick-time events: fleeing from the players before the first robot fight, firing a rocket launcher at the players before the boss fight with Jocko, and firing another rocket at the players before the second robot fight. The cutscenes afterward have him right back in President Powell's office.

* ShoutOut: In the Sega Ages 2500 version of the first game, on Easy Mode, there's an item that, if picked up, turns Bruno into [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Ax Battler]] and Cindy into Tyris Flare. If either character is transformed, one of the bosses is subsequently turned into Death Adder, and the main theme from ''Golden Axe'' plays during the fight.

* EvilChef: The second game has three chef bosses who are fought on different routes: A French chef on Route 1, a Japanese chef on Route 2, and a Chinese chef on Route 3.

* DuInducedPlotHole: ''Die Hard Arcade'' changes the setting from three skyscrapers conjoined at their base to Nakatomi Plaza, the layout of which doesn't quite match the in-battle scenes, most noticeably at the part where the players fight on and inside a skyway connecting two of the skyscrapers.
