* NintendoHard: The ''Spinning Vaccum'' minigame is a ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' parody with two stages. During ''Mission Hunter'' you're required to just clear the first stage with 8 lives, and it's pretty tough -- though mostly for FakeDifficulty reasons. Although you have a run button, enemies spawn at fixed points of the level and will overwhelm you if you don't take things slowly. Your [[JumpPhysics jump]] is high, floaty and has a ''fixed height''. Enemy positions are frequently designed such that if you don't destroy them immediately with the "Wide" shot or something you'll end up jumping out of the way only to crash into something else. And you only get 4 lives to clear both levels in free play mode.

* ContinuingIsPainful: You actually get infinite continues now, but you're still punished every time you retry the story.

** In the ''Spinning Vacuum'' minigame that's based on ''Contra'', the S power-up is not the Spread Shot. Instead it is "W", which probably stands for "wide" ("W" typically stands for "Double" in Japan, but the Spread shot is 3-way instead).

* CollectionSidequest: You can use Power Points to purchase a variety of parody toys and then view them on Gonda's museum.

* NewGamePlus: Clearing ''Showa Adventure'' grants you access to different endings for the next playthroughs.

* {{Nerf}}: Batters aren't always awarded the first base upon being hit by a pitch anymore. They have to get hit while far enough from the strike zone, but unlike in real life it doesn't register whether or not they have attempted to avoid the pitch.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In the ''Spinning Vacuum'' minigame that's based on ''Contra'', the S power-up is not the Spread Shot. Instead it is "W", which probably stands for "wide" ("W" typically stands for "Double" in Japan, but the Spread shot is 3-way instead).

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In the ''Spinning Vacuum'' minigame that's based on ''Contra'', the S power-up is not the Spread Shot.

* EtTuBrute: When Hero 8 finds the CCR itself is controlled by criminal cyborgs, he tries to warn his partner Fukiko about it but she attempts to shoot him dead. She does that even if she's the chosen LoveInterest, albeit with a heavy heart.

* GameOver: Despite having infinite continues, you can still get a game over from the absolute worst ending where Hero 8 leaves both Hoppers and the CCR. The game over screen even got changed so the "終" kanji now fills the entire top screen and irradiates an ''incredibly smug aura''.

* ContinuingIsPainful: You know how it works by now. Just a few continues to clear a two hour-long story.

* GameOver: The game over screen got changed so the "終" kanji now fills the entire top screen and irradiates an ''incredibly smug aura''.

* NonstandardGameOver: It is possible to fail the story despite winning the final tournament. You'll lose your custom character, and unlike in ''6'' the game won't even give you Power Points for that.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: In the ''Minesweeper'' game, you can stock items that reveal the location of mines and remove [[PoisonMushroom bad items]] from the board. There's also a jetpack item that lets you skip one board, but it is very rare and you can [[TooAwesomeToUse only keep one copy of it]].

** You will likely come across three minigames at fixed points of''Mission Hunter''. In particular, the ''Spinning Vacuum'' run and gun that's a ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' clone has to be cleared once found or you'll get a game over.
