History VideoGame / MonsterMaulers

* DubNameChange: The game's original Japanese name was ''Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn''. Also, the Chinese [[ElementalPowers elemental-themed]] demon boss had his name changed from Furaiki to Diablo.

* BrainMonster: Brainy, like the name states, is a giant brain boss, who floats around while using it's nerve as tentacles. It's sole remaining facial feature is a giant eye, making it an {{Oculothorax}}.

* CombinationAttack: by standing next to one another while initiating a special move, 2 players can perform a united, enhanced special attack.

* DubNameChange: The game's original Japanese name was ''Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn''. Also the Chinese [[ElementalPowers elemental-themed]] demon boss had his name changed from Furaiki to Diablo.

* ManEatingPlant: Spider Wort from the jungle stage is a massive flytrap-esque flower swinging on a vine who can unfold it's petals to release [[MookMaker smaller versions of itself]] to attack the player. Every now and then, it will also lash out its tongue to grab the player into it's maw in an attempt to swallow them.
* MechaMooks: Before facing Docker, you'll need to face a small legion of robotic soldiers. They're not very durable however, going down in two hits. There are several smaller robots in a later stage before the Robo-Ape boss.

* ShoutOut: Several enemies from the ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' and Salamander series appear as enemies, or at least enemies designed to resemble them. Like the Brain Golem, or the [[EenieMeenieMinyMoai Moai]] statue boss.

While ''Monster Maulers'' mostly consists of a set of one-on-duels like in most fighting games(or two-on-one in two-player mode), the enemy characters cannot be selected, and there is no 2-player versus mode. As such, it's often regarded as a BeatEmUp, or a cross between the two genres.

* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: The Blue Dragon, where the player fights its head without the rest of it's body exposed.

''VideoGame/MonsterMaulers'' (originally ''Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn'') is a fairly unique fighting game created by Konami in 1993 where a team of Sentai-esque warriors are sent to face monsters around the world before confronting the villains who unleashed them in the first-place.

* CoOpMultiplayer: 2 players can team up to take on the bosses. Interestingly, despite basically being a fighting game, there's no 2-player Versus mode.

* SuperSentaiStance: The characters all have win poses that seem quite Sentai-inspired, but it's especially noticeable at the end of the game where they all pose together.
