* AbortedArc: [[spoiler:After rescuing Betty, she is seen with green eyes and tells Hulk that she's been infected with his energy. Except the next cutscene shows Betty to be more concerned with Bruce retrieving the Gamma Orb than her own condition, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse and we never see her again after that,]] so no one really knows whether or not Betty would've become this universe's She-Hulk.]]

* HealingFactor: Whenever Hulk takes damage, a red bar will appear in place of how damaging the attack is in his health similar to the recovering health bar in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series. Hulk can recover some health from it, even if it's very slowly, though there is a cheat you can enter to speed up the healing process.

* MirrorBoss: Ravage. He has most of your moves, is the same speed as you, and (unlike the other bosses) his boss battle is a straight-up fistfight with no gimmicks attached... until the second phase where you have to deal with falling derbies and Gamma soldiers pouring in from left and right.

* BossArenaIdiocy: Flux's battle takes place in a Gamma shield generator room, summoned by General Ross to stop Hulk at all costs. The same generator room where you can trick him into destroying the generator's defense barrier using his own grenades and even toss Flux himself into the generator once its shields go down for insane damage.

* ArtShiftedSequel: Owing up to the different medium, and despite using one of the promotional posters as a base for the cover art, the game uses entirely different shading combined with brighter colors and a more animated aesthetic to make it feel more like the comics the movie was based off rather than trying to perfectly replicate the movie's live-action style itself.

* LongSongShortScene: Many audio cues often get cut off due to how quick the game transitions between in-game cutscenes and gameplay. [[https://youtu.be/0IVtC85EvIk?t=315 Special mention goes to the Game Over theme,]] which has an ''absurdly'' long roll out that never gets heard due to the game quickly fading to black and into the continue screen as Hulk roars in defeat.

* BlownAcrossTheRoom:
** Naturally, many of The Hulk's attacks tend to do this to most of his adversaries.
** Explosives and certain boss attacks are capable of doing this to ''you'' as well.



** For a more literal and somewhat {{Punny}} example, the game has a move where you perform a short charge that will knock (almost) anyone out of your way.

* StealthBasedMission: Most as Banner. He doesn't have any head-on offensive attacks, and most enemies can quickly wear him down into submission. Since Banner is most likely going to transform into Hulk whenever he's in danger or provoked, the game-over sequence shows him about to turn. But it's a failure anyway, since the mission mandates you into playing as Bruce and not Hulk.
