* QuestionableCasting: The game is mainly remembered for the actor playing Char, who not only looks far older and pudgier than the character should be, but has a large cleft chin.



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the animations can be stiff, the mobile suit models themselves don't look too bad for the time. The Gundam and Zaku are pretty faithful recreations of their then-recent Master Grade model kits.
* WTHCastingAgency: The game is mainly remembered for the actor playing Char, who not only looks far older and pudgier than the character should be, but has a large cleft chin.

Added DiffLines:

** The GameOver animations become this for anyone who's watched the anime thanks to how [[AdaptationalWimp flimsy]] the Gundam is in this game. In the anime a part of its infamy was how durable it was whereas in this game, everything from a Zaku machinegun burst to a Magella Attack to even ''common landmines'' can easily destroy it without effort.

** The game got played for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rJP5nmubKM RTA in Japan 2019]]; the audience breaks into laughter ''every single time'' the 'ole Chin Comet is onscreen, and is especially amused by the Gundam [[GoodOldFisticuffs punching Char's Gelgoog in the face]].

Oh, and that's not what a reprisal is.


** The acting in general is rather wooden, but it becomes even funnier in the Japanese release, where [everyone has their original voice actors giving it their all. There's something hilarious about the dopey, big-chinned version of Char having Creator/ShuichiIkeda's butter-smooth voice coming out of his mouth, especially because [[HongKongDub his lips don't even match up]].

** "Zeon" is translated as "Jion". Sure its in line with the Japanese audio track but lets face it, everyone's saying "john."

Added DiffLines:

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The cutscenes are generally considered fun to watch ([[SoBadItsGood albeit for the wrong reasons]]), but the gameplay itself is regarded as a chore.
* FashionVictimVillain: Char's iconic mask and helmet do not translate well into live action. His mask in particular looks laughable, appearing less like a piece of equipment designed to protect his eyes and more like a piece of gray paper with holes for the eyes.
* HilariousInHindsight: The game had a gray Gouf almost a year before ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'' introduced the Gouf Flight Type.
* ItsHardSoItSucks: Fans have joked that this game requires Newtype powers to complete on a first run, as there is a huge amount of TrialAndErrorGameplay involved.
* MemeticMutation: Japanese fans have latched onto Char's large cleft chin, calling him "Chin Comet". The appearance of Char with such a chin was even referenced in ''Anime/GundamBuildDivers''.
* {{Narm}}: The live-action cutscenes in general are hilariously-bad.
** "Zeon" is translated as "John". Sure its in line with the Japanese audio track but lets face it, everyone's saying "john."
** The actor playing Char has a large cleft chin that looks odd compared to his sleek helmet, but then he wears a mask that looks like a piece of paper and it becomes hysterical.

* SoBadItsGood: The cutscenes. Between the wooden acting in the live action scenes to the [[AdaptationalWimp Gundam apparently being made out of paper]], there is a lot of laughter to be had.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the animations can be stiff, the mobile suit models themselves don't look too bad for the time. The Gundam and Zaku are pretty faithful recreations of their then-recent Master Grade model kits.
