7!!This game contains examples of:
8
9* CanonDiscontinuity: All material trying to depict Top as Super Joe has been ignored as of 2009 which is further cemented in a 30th anniversary encyclopedia labeling it a change done in the English market.
10* DependingOnTheArtist: Top is depicted with either brown hair or blue hair depending on the artwork.
11* DubNameChange: Top was called Super Joe in American material for the game in an attempt to connect this unrelated game to ''VideoGame/CommandoCapcom''.
12* ExplodingBarrels: The first known example in video games. Blue barrels, when run over, turn red. Red ones explode.
13* TheHero: The main guy is Top and he is determined to save his family and friends from being killed within 24 hours.
14* MarketBasedTitle: The game is titled Rush and Crash in Japan.
15* NintendoHard: You drive a not very sturdy car through a confusing course with hordes of enemies constantly assailing you and instant death traps scattered everywhere. Every bit as fun as it sounds.
16* NoNameGiven: Aside from Top, no character in the game is ever named.
17* OneHitPointWonder: If Top does not have a car to drive, he will die if he gets shot or run over.
18* SpikesOfVillainy: The Zappers have spikes mounted onto a handful of their vehicles they use for their terrorist activities.
