* BellyDancer: One performs in the middle of Stage 3 who cheers for you once you defeat all the enemies in that section.



* SongStyleShift: During the second half of Stage 3, a BellyDancer appears on-stage in the background, accompanied by Arabic music. About 28 seconds in, it shifts into a fusion of rock and new jack swing.

Added DiffLines:

* BossBanter: All of the bosses have introductory dialogue before the fight starts, though sometimes you can hit them before they're done talking.
-->'''Red Freddy:''' Crazy punks! Get them out!
-->'''Joe:''' May I see your ''ticket?''


Added DiffLines:

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Zig-zagged. Every boss says something to you at the start of the fight. For the most part, they're not in range of your attacks while saying it... but some (like Drigger) ''are'', and you can land free hits on them while they're talking.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The music used during the Drigger and Julius fights is remixed from the ''[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT]]'' [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame arcade]] [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime games]]. The common boss theme is original but one part of it is a reference to the boss music of the ''Franchise/XMen'' [[VideoGame/XMen1992 arcade game]]. The fourth stage music is like a combination of the night vision music from ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers'' and the fourth stage music from ''Super {{VideoGame/Contra}}''.

Has been into a disambiguation.


* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Red Freddy is misspelled as "Red Fredy" due to space issues.

Inaccurate - he uses elbow strikes in several moves.


* ExtremityExtremist: Kyle only attacks with kicks.

* TheApunkalypse: Though a very light version. Although all the elements are there - leather vests, spiky armor, several punks - the world seems perfectly fine despite that. There's even fully functional trains and an untouched peaceful park with fountains and gates. It's almost like the apocalypse happened and no one, after changing clothes and getting ripped, really cared. Essentially the only sign that ''something'' happened is that the buildings are covered in cracks and chips.

Game Gourmet was disambiguated. The context here is low and unsure where it's best placed, so I've removed the example.


* GameGourmet: As a knockoff of ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', this game features things like lobsters, green tea, cherries, apples, ice cream, pizzas, and plenty more inside crates, barrels, etc. There are also certain things that would fit into the scenery naturally, such as coconuts that fall from palm trees or a pizza that someone happens to be carrying.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: All the dialogue in the game, in particular, the relentlessly cheesy rap song at the start of Stage 3, quoted at the bottom of the page.
-->'''Red Freddy:''' Crazy punks! Get 'em out!
-->'''Joe:''' May I see your ''ticket?''

* JealousRomanticWitness: PlayedForLaughs after the FinalBoss, where Sheena gives a kiss to whoever scored the final blow on Geld. If there are additional players, the unlucky guys look on in shock and dismay.

AssKicksYou: One of Boris's Aerial moves.aerial moves involves him striking enemies with his rear end.



* BrickJoke: Stage 1 begins with our heroes driving their car through a gate, damaging the front end in the process. The ending reveals that they never got around to fixing it.



** Boris is similar to [[VideoGame/DukeNukem Duke Nukem]], though funnily enough, while his appearance and outfit are similar to 3D-era Duke, [[OlderThanTheyThink Boris had it three years earlier!]]



** Lord Geld is basically a combination of [[Manga/{{AKIRA}} Tetsuo]] and FrankensteinsMonster, and is [[ThatOneBoss every bit as dangerous as that implies]].

** Red Freddy is an anorexic, effeminate ripoff of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Blanka]].
** The recurring "Lollypop" enemy is a fat version of [[VideoGame/DoubleDragon Abobo]], combined with [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Big Ben's]] ability to breathe fire.
** Sledge is a [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtle]] parody, though his attack pattern is based on [[VideoGame/FinalFight Rolento]].
** [[BossInMookClothing Spike]], the big brute with spiky armor, bear an uncanny resemblance to Dolg, the first boss of ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando''. His bear hug attack is really similar to [[VideoGame/FinalFight Atlas/Jony]]'s.



** A more subtle one is in the theme for the third stage. "Everyone wants to knock that [[TrueFinalBoss Geldo]] down!"

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Lord Geld, who doesn't appear untill the very end of the game, when you confront him at this throne. In fact, the one who kidnaps Sheena and instigates the traps against you is [[TheDragon Red Freddy]], not him.

* TheQuincyPunk: Crossbones and Doyle.Doyle resemble such punks.



* RoguesGallery: Literally. One section of the last level is an art gallery with portraits of all the bosses you've defeated up to that point, all except for the last two ([[DiscOneFinalBoss Red Freddy]] and [[TrueFinalBoss Geld]]), which foreshadows who you will face next.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Vandalizing a stand in Stage 3 and furniture inside a bar of the same stage will reward you with points. You can also throw civilians and [[MookHorrorShow bad guys]] out of a train or into the sea, and in the latter case you even get a fish to restore health.

* VocalDissonance: Geld has this when he changes his size. Justified, when he gets bigger and more muscular, it makes sense for his voice to also become much deeper.
