History VideoGame / MightyGunvolt

The game also features various other characters from Inti Creates' other titles as downloadable content, each with their own storyline. While Ekoro was initially absent from the game, she was released as the first DLC character (even being made a save bonus if you downloaded the demo), though she isn’t as plot important as she was the first go-around; she later gotten more spotlight along with Beck and Gunvolt in the [=PlayStation=] 4 version and was bundled in that version for free. Joule and Call were the next two to be added, followed by a “Rival Pack” of Copen, Ray, and Kurona to round out the playable roster. The last character added was Tenzou from the first ''Gal*Gun'', who ended up packaged with Joule and Call for the [=PlayStation=] 4 version's "Heroine Pack".

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: While similar to ''Mega Man (Classic)'', ''Mighty Gunvolt'''s MercyInvincibility is ''far'' shorter, making the "deliberately taking damage for invincibility" tactic significantly less viable. Players unaccustomed to this may find themselves biting off more than they can chew when attempting to charge through a pack of enemies or a hazard.

** Ekoro: The average character. Can hover by pressing and holding the jump button after taking air. Possesses a charged attack that fires a large heart at enemies. If the heart kills an enemy, or you kill an enemy after shooting them with the heart, they [[DefeatMeansFriendship turn into a flying helper]] that follows Ekoro and shoots at other enemies. Has a slightly weaker normal shot.
** Gunvolt: The easiest character. Can double jump by pressing the jump button after taking air. Possesses a charged attack that fires a concentrated, redirectable beam of lightning that deals heavy damage to enemies it comes into contact with.

* {{Retraux}}: ''Mighty Gunvolt'' is done in the style of an 8- or 16-bit side-scroller, similar to later VideoGame/MegaManClassic games and early VideoGame/MegaManX games. All of the music is also this.

* ActionBomb: The Boom Hoppers from ''Mighty No. 9'' returns here, where shooting them causes their fuse to ignite and self-destructs afterwards.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Ray's character design has asymmetrical features, such as the right portion of her face eroding away and revealing her endoskeleton, the large right horn of her helmet being missing, three fin-like blades protruding from her left arm with a sharp nails at the ends of her fingers where as her right arm features an arm cannon with extendable claw blades, and a "mouth" on the right side of her torso, which is shown in her home game and art works. However, in ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'', these asymmetrical features are ignored on her in-game sprite as Ray's helment, face, and eyes appear normal on both sides, has identical bladed arms, and missing the "mouth" on her torso.

* AchievementSystem: The game features 30 Challenges similarly to the ones found in the ''Azure Striker Gunvolt'' games where performing certain feats rewards the player with a Pixel Sticker. These range from clearing a game with a particular character, earning an S rank, and loading your character with high amounts of CP when possible.

** For the simple price of 400 CP, you can completely disable Raychel's Xel Decay mechanic. Now, What was it that made Raychel a GlassCannon again?

* AmusingInjuries: Most of the characters have a normal reaction to pain when they take damage, however Joule's reaction to taking damage is much more comical with wide, blank teary eyes and a small smile.

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Call's campaign takes place around the same time as Beck's, featuring her going in to save him. Joule's campaign takes place [[spoiler:just before Teseo nearly succeeds in plunging Gunvolt into virtual abyss after being defeated by Gunvolt]].

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:At the end of the game, Teseo decides to RageQuit and defaults the virtual space back to factory settings...which means Beck or GV is going to be trapped in its coding when it resets. However, depending on who you're playing as, either Joule or Call comes to his rescue. This ends on a traditionally bittersweet note for Joule, as she relishes the one time she could hold GV's hand again, [[TheLostLenore the audience knowing it'll be the last]], and a hopeful note for Call, as for the first time she displays emotion of her own -- namely, a [[DeclarationOfProtection joyful promise to be there for Beck]], having been inspired by his determination.]]

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: In reverse of ''Mighty Gunvolt'': ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' is given the lions share of focus, with almost all of the stages and bosses being reimaiginings of ones from that game. Justified, due to the game's environment being designed as a training program for Beck. [[spoiler:That being said, the antagonist and cause of the game's events is Teseo, a ''Gunvolt'' boss]]. The ''Gal*Gun'' characters are also sidelined, being relegated to DLC (except Ekoro if you either played and done the challenges in the demo and got the full version (3DS/Switch) or she's included for free (PS4).

* LimitBreak: Gunvolt's tradeoff for Beck's shot type versatility is that he has access to Skills, which function as they do in the ''Gunvolt'' series. Uniquely, as he gains new Skills, they are automatically equipped to his default loadout (Slot 1), which gives you a little breathing room for a certain Challenge.

* SaveGameLimits: The game originally had only eight save slots, which was just enough for the base and [=DLC=] characters introduce through v1.1-1.3. Since the release of the v1.4 patch for the Switch and [=PlayStation=] 4 versions, this limit has been lifted and the number of available save slots has been increased to '''forty''', allowing for plenty of room for characters between Normal and Hard difficulties without having to delete an older save for Tenzou.

** Despite just being a regular high school student in the real world, Tenzou is pretty capable in the virtual world, with his Blaster Goggles serving as his personal weapon, shooting laser blasts a la ''{{Comicbook/Cyclops}}. He only needs Patako and Ekoro for the Doki Doki mode and to descend after jumping, respectively, while he's the one fighting.

* OneWayVisor: Due to being a FeaturelessProtagonist in ''Gal*Gun'' and having no distinct features, Tenzou is given an incredibly generic male protagonist appearance except for a glowing pink visor on his face a la ''{{ComicBook/Cyclops}}'' that he uses to fire the Pheromone Shot.
* OutOfFocus: Ekoro of ''VideoGame/GalGun'' didn't show up in marketing materials nor the story at launch. Downplayed later on, as she was the subject of the v1.1 update for the game, which makes her a playable character with her own story, although she doesn't get any dialogue with Gunvolt, Beck, or even [[spoiler:BigBad Teseo]]. Her home franchise also gets the least amount of focus in the game, as their stories are even more ExcusePlot than the other characters. The [=PlayStation=] 4 version however eventually include Ekoro as one of the playable characters from the get-go and trailer for the game and key art included her with Beck and Gunvolt.

* DenserAndWackier: Ekoro, Kurona, and surprisingly Copen's, stories are [[ExcusePlot barebones]] to justify their inclusion in the game, and fairly funny as a result: Ekoro decided to play the ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'' per an upperclassman's recommendation (and comically [[spoiler:takes out her guns upon seeing the game again in her ending]]), Kurona's playing ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'' specifically to rob the person playing it the satisfaction of beating it, and Copen's annoyed that his sister, Mytyl, is playing a game with an Adept protagonist, so he literally creates his own version of the game for her to play.

* EasyLevelsHardBosses: The levels themselves aren't particularly difficult, outside of some particularly annoying Eden mooks. The game's bosses, on the other hand, can be somewhat ''brutal'' at times, with most of them being a DamageSpongeBoss to some degree and having particularly rapid and hard-to-avoid attacks.

** The plot is more fleshed out than in the original, but still leans on this. Ekoro's "story", however, falls straight into this.

* GameBreakingBug: The [=3DS=] port is unfortunately prune to random crashes that leads to system reboots.

** Every character has the ability to add the elements of the 8 Mighty Numbers to their weapons, which means that Gunvolt, Call, Joule, Ekoro, and Kurona can use ElementalRockPaperScissors, despite their in-universe move sets lacking any ability.

* MiniGameCredits: During the credits, you play as a support character coming to the rescue of Beck or Gunvolt, falling down a pit. Diamonds are scattered about, and you can collect them as you fall; scoring 1000 Points in the mini-game will net you a Mytyl sticker.
* MirrorBoss: The penultimate fight in the game is a mini-boss fight against the evil copy of the character you're playing as from the other character's scenario. At the start of the fight, it clones your normal shot, and will update the copy periodically just in case you change it. It does have its own attacks, however, so it isn't totally helpless if you let it copy a completely useless shot.

* OutOfFocus: Ekoro of ''VideoGame/GalGun'' didn't show up in marketing materials nor the story at launch. Downplayed later on, as she was the subject of the v1.1 update for the game, which makes her a playable character with her own story, although she doesn't get any dialogue with Gunvolt, Beck, or even [[spoiler:BigBad Teseo]]. Her home franchise also gets the least amount of focus in the game, having only two playable characters (Ekoro herself and Kurona), and their stories are even more ExcusePlot than the other characters. The [=PlayStation=] 4 version however eventually include Ekoro as one of the playable characters from the get-go and trailer for the game and key art included her with Beck and Gunvolt.

** Ekoro's, Call's, and Joule's MirrorBoss are just their normal sprite with a more sinister re-color.

** The another DLC set is themed after rivals from the three franchises represented in the game: Ray of ''Mighty No. 9'', Copen of ''Azure Striker Gunvolt'', and Kurona of ''Gal*Gun''.
* SaveGameLimits: The game originally had only eight save slots, which was just enough for the base and [=DLC=] characters introduce through v1.1-1.3. Since the release of the v1.4 patch for the Switch and [=PlayStation=] 4 versions, this limit has lifted and the number of available save slots has been increased to '''forty''', allowing for plenty of room for characters between Normal and Hard difficulties without having to delete an older save for Tenzou.

* SequelEscalation: The first game was a very basic game, [[ExcusePlot with a bare bones plot]] and linear progression system. This game gives you 8 bosses to fight in any order you please, a very powerful weapon customization system, a slightly more developed plot, and ''eight'' playable characters.

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: In reverse of ''Mighty Gunvolt'': ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' is given the lions share of focus, with almost all of the stages and bosses being reimaiginings of ones from that game. Justified, due to the game's environment being designed as a training program for Beck. [[spoiler:That being said, the antagonist and cause of the game's events is Teseo, a ''Gunvolt'' boss]]. The ''Gal*Gun'' characters are also sidelined, being relegated to DLC.

Three years later, and a sequel, ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'', would be playable as its own standalone title. This installment decidedly went the “Mighty” route; taking place after the events of ''Mighty No. 9'', the game starts off as Beck finishes training inside Professor White's simulation program only to find himself unable to leave the program, but eventually crosses path with a mysterious entity that resembles Gunvolt who claims to be the program's “Game Master”, challenging Beck to a duel against him and his septimal powers. Similarly, while on a mission one day, Gunvolt finds himself suddenly pulled into the training simulation when a strange glimmer of light from his universe appeared, and later runs into a mysterious robot boy claiming to be Beck who challenges Gunvolt to battle against him and his Mighty Number family. With seemingly no way out, it's up to them to venture through the simulation and put an end to whoever is trapping them inside the virtual world.

The game also features various other characters from Inti Creates' other titles as downloadable content.

''Mighty Gunvolt'' (''Gal*Gunvolt'' on Playstation) is a series of Famicom-styled platformer games by Creator/IntiCreates.

Initially created as a side game for ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'', the first game’s story primarily focused on facing off against the Sumeragi agents ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}''-style. The game can be completed in 5 levels, though Inti created more to play through as DLC. Like its titles would imply, this mini throwback brought together the protagonists of the past three games Inti Creates worked on at the time: ''Azure Striker Gunvolt''’s Gunvolt, ''VideoGame/MightyNo9''’s Beck, and Ekoro from ''VideoGame/GalGun: Double Peace''.

Three years later, and a sequel, ''Mighty Gunvolt Burst'', would be playable as its own standalone title. This installment decidedly went the “Mighty” route; rather than following Gunvolt’s story, it instead revolves around a virtual simulation based on Beck’s experiences in ''Mighty No. 9''. Beck’s own story starts when he finishes training in this virtual word, but when a mysterious entity that resembles Gunvolt decides to trap him inside, it’s up to him to venture through the simulation and put a stop to it.

''Burst'' was released in October 2017 for both the Nintendo Switch and 3DS, with its UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 port (reusing the ''Gal*Gunvolt'' title) in early 2018.

* MiniGameCredits: During the credits, you play as a support character coming to the rescue of the character you're currently playing as, falling down a pit. Diamonds are scattered about, and you can collect them as you fall; scoring 1000 Points in the mini-game will net you a Mytyl sticker.
