* JigglePhysics: Vanessa's infamously flabby butt almost never stops moving in game. When standing idle, she taps her foot, which causes it to twitch; it [[https://imgur.com/a/lZu3ybv bounces heavily and wobbles a bit at the end of each step when she runs]] and it [[https://imgur.com/a/Sn8pYOr ripples and jiggles when she does her spin-back move]]; and several of her "Energy Drive" [[SmartBomb smart bomb]] dances make the jiggle obvious. [[https://imgur.com/a/vvSBNMs During Thunderbird, her butt jiggles]] when she moves her hips from side to side.

Also, during her [[https://imgur.com/a/0WZn9d6 level 1 automatic fire animation]], both her thighs and buttocks jiggle.

* JigglePhysics: Plenty of Vanessa's animations cause her butt to jiggle. Whether you're walking around, attacking, or even just standing still (which makes her tap her foot), it almost never stops moving.

* LevelGrinding: Doing the trial missions over and over for points to upgrade the Aegis Suits makes the game much easier.

'''''P.N.03''''' (short for '''''Product Number 03''''') is a relatively little-known UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube game developed by Creator/{{Capcom}} as part of Creator/ShinjiMikami's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom_Five Capcom 5.]] ''P.N.03'' was the only one of two games of the Capcom 5 not later ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, the other being ''Dead Phoenix'', which was cancelled.

The game wasn't altogether well-received when it was released in September 9, 2003 in North America, with most critics and players considering it to be mediocre. Sales were remarkably poor, with less than 30,000 sold worldwide. The below-average reception for a Capcom 5 title was due in no small part due to a [[TroubledProduction difficult development process]] in which project lead Mikami reportedly had a difficult time caring about it and the team couldn't agree on the "true" title (its development title was ''Jaguar'', reflected by a trailer where she makes catlike movements). The features ended up being as minimalistic as the architecture, as due to the extended development cycle many features were dropped. The game engine, some music, and some of the mechanics were later used in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.

!!Examples:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Many of the overdrives are super flashy and over the top but do pitiful damage and in some cases can miss the target entirely!

* ArtificialStupidity: The enemies spawn as predetermined types in predetermined locations. You know immediately on entering a room through prior experience what you are facing. The enemies also attack in predetermined patterns. [[JustifiedTrope Which makes sense]], since they ''are'' robots.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Many of the overdrives are super flashy and over the top but do pitiful damage and in some cases can miss the target entirely!.
** The Papillon Suit can access all the overdrives, but turns you into a OneHitPointWonder

* BulletHell: The bosses tend towards this, but it's subverted in that you can hide behind an obstacle and avoid all incoming fire. The last boss is a pure example, and beating him involves learning the patterns to his attacks.
* ButtonMashing: The early Aegis Suits follow this trope completely, but it eventually becomes averted since later ones can be upgraded to fully automatic fire. Through NewGamePlus all the suits can be upgraded this way.

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: The trial missions are a bunch of random rooms strung together. Late in the game the randomizer loves to string multiple T-shaped intersections together, making it very easy to get lost unless you've memorized or written down what order you've taken the doors in.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: Strongly enforced, Vanessa has to be standing still to fire. The game's {{Scrappy Mechanic}} to some, and the big reason why people have a hard time playing it - ironically, the exact same mechanism so lauded in VideoGame/ResidentEvil4. The strict segregation of movement and attacking define the way the game plays.
** Worth noting that this only applies to the control stick, ''not'' the dodge buttons.

* OneHitKill: The energy cannon turrets are about as close to WaveMotionGun as it gets. You do not want to be out in the open when they fire.
* OneHitpointWonder: The Papillion suit is a literal one, reducing your health down to a one-hit death.

* RecurringBoss: All of the normal bosses are fought twice, and two of them have OneWingedAngel forms in their rematches.
* RespawningEnemies: Averted completely, once a room is clear it stays clear.

** The Black Aegis Suit is the that allows for maximum upgrades in all categories and has access to Tengu Pro, Pegasus Pro and Swan Pro, three of the best overdrives in the game.

[[AC:General Tropes]]

Much of the team later split from Capcom to form PlatinumGames, who developed ''VideoGame/{{Vanquish}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', games that, respectively, take one of the conflicting directions of this game (Robot fighting third person shooter and kinetic hypersexuality) and made, overall, more satisfying wholes.

* BoringButPractical: Tengu and the upgraded version, Tengu Pro. Doubles your shot power, but most importantly gives temporary
invincibility. The ability to ignore an enemy's attacks and just fire away can come close to a {{Game Breaker}} if used correctly. [[spoiler:Two Tengu Pro stringed back to back is enough to kill the final boss on '''Normal''' with a fully upgraded Palm Shot.]]

[[AC:Vanessa Z. Schneider]]
* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Her client turns out to be "the original" of herself.]]
* CoolShades: As shown above.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Vanessa Z. Schneider was designed to invoke this trope.
* FormFittingWardrobe: All of the Aegis Suits are more or less painted onto Vanessa's body with lights, design elements, and criss-crossed utility belts added on. The boxy Aegis system plugged in the back.
* IdleAnimation: Hers is fairly complex with constant foot tapping and finger snapping to the BGM.
* MaleGaze: The game's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T7qAITFA3k trailer]] gives Vanessa several shameless [[MaleGaze ass shots]] while she performs her in-game dance moves like wiggling her hips, and her infamous [[http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn259/FilahaButz/pp-pn03-bootyshake1.gif automatic fire butt shake]]. Upon unlocking automatic fire, she will do this animation about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time randomly.
* MsFanservice: Between her outfit and dancing, yes.
* ThirdPersonSeductress: Her suit is either skin tight or thong accessorized, she moves her body a lot, and the camera is permanently planted behind her, so yes.
* SexSells: A common critique or suspicion of the game, as her dancing has nothing to do with her mission, nor is it ever referenced or explained in game. Also likely the reason for the MaleGaze in the game's trailer.
* SheFu: All of Vanessa's dodges are flips, cartwheels, spins, and rolls. Activate an overdrive and she does a complicated gymnastics routine before actually attacking with it.

[[AC:Blackbird Aegis Suit]]
* BoringButPractical: It's the first Aegis suit that allows for maximum upgrades in all categories and has access to Tengu Pro, Pegasus Pro and Swan Pro, three of the best overdrives in the game.
* ThemeNaming: It's black, like the name implies.

[[AC:Papillon Aegis Suit]]
* AwesomeButImpractical: You have access to every single overdrive in the game, but zero shields. This turns you into a...
* OneHitpointWonder: Much like the shooters of old, one hit and you die.
* DifficultButAwesome: If you can master not getting hit, this Aegis Suit is by far the most useful. Can attract {{Challenge Gamer}}s.
* {{Fanservice}}: Blatantly so.
* BareYourMidriff
* ShowerScene: Wear the suit through the whole game to completion and you're rewarded with this.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: It's composed of vest, thong, chaps, and long fingerless gloves.
* ThemeNaming: Papillon, French for butterfly. This suit is named so because it exposes the butterfly tattoo on Vanessa's stomach.
----

* SorryILeftTheBGMOn: The level music apparently what she's listening to, thus the toe tapping and gyrations. It turns off when she snaps her fingers.
