* SalvagedGameplayMechanic: Micluses are disliked in ''Raiden Fighters'' and in earlier versions of this game because of the [[GuideDangIt obtuse ways to make them appear]] and their importance in getting good scores. One of the updates to ''Xeno Fighters R'' now makes Micluses blink when shooting over their locations, so that you no longer need to learn and memorize all their arbitrary locations.

** [[VideoGame/RaidenFighters Vahrstor]], the boss of [[BattleshipRaid Stage EX-5]]. To proceed, you have to have a destruction rate of 100%, in other words, destroy every part of the boss. If you miss a single part of the boss, you will not get the Tritium Plasma required to reach Stage EX-6, which will also lead to [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Stage F-C]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: Out of all the guest ships, Infernal Iris is the most surprising. It hails from ''Psyche Metal: The Bleeding'', an [[WombLevel organic-themed]] freeware shoot 'em up that no one considered as a possibility for choosing a guest from.

* GameBreaker: Winbee, before [[PutOnABus she was removed]], was by far the most powerful ship with a wide spread, heavy firepower, and killed most anything before it even fired. Some of her arsenal was added to Twinbee as alternate weaponry when she got removed. Twinbee ended up getting removed later on as well.
** Twinbee appears to still be in, as well as Winbee. Both appear to have been nerfed a bit.
*** Now, both of them [[AvertedTrope have been cut]].
** In XFEX, the Ultima-X was pretty much the same way, plus a bomb that lasted forever.
** In XF-R, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Gengar]], also scrapped (for reasons like ''VideoGame/MushroomKingdomFusion''), was broken on all levels, having powerful fullscreen attacks and a [[Franchise/DragonBall Kamehameha-like]] Bomber that killed anything in one use.
* ThatOneBoss: The v0.6 rendition of Jade Hydra is this. The [[VideoGame/{{Parodius}} ballerina panda, Ziyudee]] in Stage EX-3 has Psikyo-style bullet patterns mixed with some Cave BulletHell. Good thing she's a BonusBoss.

** Stage EX-2's boss, [[VideoGame/TheGuardianLegend Blue Optomon]] has three phases of attack, all of which involve the seaweed attacks from its source game. Combine the area of denial properties of the seaweed (some of which ''shoot bullets'') with bullet attacks that have no pattern and you have a boss that can easily end your run in Story Mode or any Path Mode path that includes Stage EX-2.
