History VideoGame / NinjaBaseballBatMan

** If Jose does a flaming kick onto the baseball bat enemies, they [[WeakToFire disintegrate]] into flames. They similarly die instantly if they touch a lit fume. The playing card enemies share the same weakness and die instantly to fire.

* CastFromHitPoints: The Mega Home Run (only if it connects), as well as each character's elemental LimitBreak.

* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: Windy Plane, Mad Lax, Deffending Slot, and Mechanical Allegator gradually lose their body parts when attacked.

** If Jose does a flaming kick onto the baseball bat enemies, they disintegrate into flames. They similarly die instantly if they touch a lit fume. The playing cards also die instantly to fire.

** The baseballs have four different variants: Yellow, Blue, Green, and White. The higher rank baseballs can take slightly more damage and follow up with a kick attack if they manage to hit you. There's also the zombie/shadow baseballs from Texas, the three golem baseballs, and the spring-powered and spider baseballs with two variants each.

** Makeshift Villain will summon the dogs with Tommy-guns for about 3/4 of the fight.

* DegradedBoss: Windy Plane shows up in the final level as the pentimulate boss before the final boss fight. Downplayed in that he still gets a life bar and becomes much more aggressive, including a new technique where he carpet-bombs the area directly in front of him.

* OneUp: If you can smash the baseball in the bonus stages via repeated button mashing, you get an extra life.

* If Jose does a flaming kick onto the baseball bat enemies, they disintegrate into flames. They similarly die instantly if they touch a lit fume.

* CarFu: Max Max, the second boss, is an automobile.

* TheMafia: The whole Chicago stage.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: One of the bosses is an alligator, a cyborg, a scientist and a brawler.
** They player characters count as well, being ninja baseball players.
* OneHitKill: For some reason, if properly defeated (they like to run away), the blue submarine-carrying foes drop their ''skeletons'', which can kill almost all mooks in a single throw (only ones that survive it seem to be the octopi, if they're still carrying their hats).
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The statue of Babe Ruth, after the commissioner takes it from the ninjas.]]

** The boss of the Texas stage is an orange ghost that looms thought the level until it possesses a mounted buffalo's head. It then detaches itself from the wall and flies off to gather more objects and become the Ghost Buffalo.
* PressXToNotDie[=/=]SmashingSurvival: An early arcade example. There are certain enemies can grab you, and you need to either shake the joystick back and forth or press the attack button rapidly.
* RecoveryAttack: Both the players (in their case, a home-run swing) as well as the bosses (when getting up after a knockdown) have it.

* {{Poltergeist}} The boss of Texas is an orange ghost that looms thought the level until it possesses a mounted buffalo's head. It then detaches itself from the wall and flies off to gather more objects and become the Ghost Buffalo.

* UndergroundMonkey: While the enemy variety is large there are some {{palette swap}}s that do different attacks. The playing cards with arm cannons have unique attacks: The orange cards has charge attack, the yellow cards shoots flames, the green cards open themselves up to shoots a giant metal fist, and the blue ones spin like a tornado.

** One of the mooks is an robot that resembles the [[http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/fw-code/ Flatwoods Monster]].

* EvilLaugh / TheHyena: The baseball gloves laughs like hyenas when they successfully land a hit. The final boss laugh is more regular evil laugh.

* FlashOfPain: The player characters suffer seizure times of [[TurnsRed turning red]] when they're low enough on health[[note]]akin to the boss characters from most {{Creator/Konami}} beat 'em ups[[/note]]... until they lose a life.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Beanball Roger sure loves to imagine curry rice in his idle animations, and in fact is served one by Stick Straw in one of the post-stage cut scenes.

* VehicularAssault: The second boss, Mad Lax. Windy Plane also counts.

* WorldTour: All the stages are real-world locations: Seattle, San Francisco (or just Cisco), Las Vegas, Texas, Florida, Chicago, and New York.

* WorldTour: All the stages before the final one are real-world locations: Seattle, San Francisco (or just Cisco), Las Vegas, Texas, Florida, and Chicago.

* ExcusePlot: Taken to the wacky extreme!

* [[TheRedMage The Blue Mage]]: Stick Straw

* DegradedBoss: Windy Plane shows up in the final level as the pentimulate boss before the final boss fight.

* FlunkyBoss: Mad Lax, who drops a bunch of crocodile car enemies even now and then during the fight.

* MultipleLifeBars: Bosses have two.

* [[spoiler: OneWingedAngel: The statue of Babe Ruth, after the commissioner takes it from the ninjas.]]

* SentientVehicle: Windy Plane.

* FlunkyBoss: Mad Lax, who drops a bunch of crocodile car enemies even now and then.

* {{Shoryuken}}: Windy Plane, the first boss. [[spoiler: Also, he's TheDragon of the commissioner.]]
