1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** The whole soundtrack is very catchy, but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYuyWqp_4Dw first stage theme]] definitely takes the cake.
3** The background music from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxVz61h51ZE&fmt=18 beat-'em-up stages]].
4* BreatherBoss: Godfather Gordon, if you get there with a whip and armor. He has a gun which is probably intimidating normally, but it can't hurt you if you're armored, and you can slap him with impunity if you've maintained a whip. He goes down pretty easily.
5** However, if you DON'T have items, he becomes a GoddamnedBoss due to constantly dodging your attacks. He also has an [[UnblockableAttack unavoidable grab move]] which he likes to use when you get too close.
6* BrokenBase: Which version is better? [[ItsEasySoItSucks The easier Japanese version]] or [[ItsHardSoItSucks the harder English versions]]?
7* CommonKnowledge: Billy may be a ''very'' obvious CaptainErsatz of Film/CrocodileDundee, but he's not Australian himself; he's actually from New Orleans, presumably to make character different enough that the film's producers wouldn't try suing Konami.
8* DemonicSpiders: Damned alligators, man. Of course, those that are mandatory to dispose of can be dispatched with minimal chance of retaliation by standing on the ground where they can't quite reach and beating them with a stick, or kicking them if you don't have one, until they stop being a problem, and the rest can be outrun.
9* SpiritualAdaptation: The game was obviously loosely based on the ''Film/CrocodileDundee'' movies and even the Japanese version, ''Mad City'', had Billy looking [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed way too much like Paul Hogan]] on the cover.
10* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DDQpKNBU_s The first stage theme]] sounds a bit like Music/MichaelJackson's "Working Day and Night".
11* ThatOneBoss: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lewis Torture,]] the boss of the third level. He's massive (roughly twice the size of Billy), and has a very long range for his attacks, making it dangerous to even ''approach'' him. And if you do get close enough to him, there's a very high chance he will just [[UnblockableAttack toss you over his shoulders.]] Hope you have a lot of health left! [[spoiler: One way to lay him out is to jump at him with a jump kick, do a stationary jump kick, then jump kick forward so that you go past him as you hit him. This is reasonably successful at laying on the hurt while keeping him from being able to do much in return, if you get it right.]]
12** [[FinalBoss Gordon's heirs, Rocky and Rocco.]] By far the hardest obstacle to seeing the ending. You know, unless you have a whip. These two fellows are roughly the size of the Stage 3 boss, and their range is just as long. They're so tall, they can grab Billy and hold him up in the air while the other one pummels him if he [[ButtonMashing doesn't break free.]] And that's not even the worst part... The worst part is: '''if you have ANY items with you (Even BODY ARMOR, which doesn't even help you at all), they will have ''twice as much health as they normally do!'''''
13** [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Schwartz. N. Eiger]] and Lightning Rod at the end of Stage 7 can also be this, if you don't quickly take out Eiger first.
