* 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.

to:

* 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.

Added DiffLines:

* SuperMode: Gaining a full Rage meter doubles Hulk's strength, and imputing certain button combinations can let him perform either the Gamma Clap (a concentrated energy clap that can severely damage anyone caught in the blast) or the Gamma Quake (which damages all enemies).
* TurnsRed: After any boss has lost their first bar of health, they'll gain a BattleAura which grants them increased damage, speed and additional attacks.


Added DiffLines:

* WakeUpCallBoss: Half-Life. You have to use the environment to harm him since the slightest touch can stun and damage you. [[LifeDrain Oh, and he can steal your health, too.]]

* ArtificialBrilliance: A largely-overlooked component of this game: More than a few of the enemy types are capable of recognizing whenever you're spamming an attack (expecially a ChargedAttack such as the aerial ground stomp) and will either move out of the way or just flat out attack you before you can finish the move. They'll also try to knock you down if they see you trying to use too many environmental pickups.

* FoeTossingCharge: Pretty much all of the Hulk-based levels involve him knocking his foes out of the way in order to reach something, most notably [[spoiler: the mission involving him chasing down Ravage]] and [[spoiler: the mission involving the [[RoaringRampageOfRescue rescue]] of Betty Ross from the clutches of Madman]].
** 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.
* FriendlyFire: While the enemies always focus their attacks on you, they're still capable of damaging each other. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity often ensues]] when this happens.



* RoaringRampageOfRescue: [[spoiler: The aforementioned mission where you have to rescue Betty Ross from Madman]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: At least half of the plot of this game was brought about by [[spoiler: Dr. Crawford tricking Bruce into giving him The Hulk's energy, and The Hulk chasing him down wherever he goes in order to beat the shit out of him and take it back. In fact, Banner might not have found out about any of the other plot-related events of the game if Dr. Crawford hadn't screwed him over.]]

Added DiffLines:

** In the cutscenes, he also has his [[InASingleBound super-jumping]] ability from the comics, but he can't do it in-game. This was a surprisingly major complaint about the game back when it was new.
** He takes damage from bullets in-game, even though they have absolutely no effect against him in the cutscenes. (or anywhere else, really)[[note]]Justified, for obvious challenge-related reasons.[[/note]]
** Regardless of how much time you spend fighting enemies during the mission [[spoiler: where you're chasing down Ravage]], the in-game cutscenes will always place you just behind [[spoiler: him]].
*** Same applies to the mission [[spoiler: where the underground Alcatraz base is collapsing, and Madman fights you at the end. No matter how much time you spend fighting him, the base will not collapse during the battle.]]


Added DiffLines:

* RecurringBoss: [[spoiler: Madman]]
* [[BlownAcrossTheRoom Smacked Across The Room]]: 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.
