YMMV / Keio Flying Squadron

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The first stage theme, a quirky blend of Japanese folk music, heroic brass and strings, a whimsical breakdown, and a wonderfully surreal moment when it's all brought together before it loops.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Even by the standards of this series, the final boss of the second game is EXTREMELY strange and absolutely out of nowhere. You get eaten by an evil demon head named Apocalypse, whose stomach is a tower with little elves living in him and you fight his heart, who spits out various Japanese related words which you use as platforms... And after you kill the heart it turns out to be a transformed cat the entire time.
  • Funny Moments: Both games are delightfully random and goofy, but the second game especially has a lot of hilarious moments thanks to a combination of the game's innate ridiculousness, the hamminess of the English dub, and some surprisingly good writing done by the translators.
    • A highlight from the second game's intro after Pon takes the family treasure with his airship.
    Rami: (In a tone like that a of a whiney teenager) Hey Pon! That's ours, give that back!
    Pon: You can't have it! Instead, I'll give you something much better!
    Rami: Really?
    Pon: (gets out a freakin' nuke) MERRY CHRISTMAS!! (tosses the nuke overboard)
    (Rami's house is blown to smithereens, but Rami and her grandparents are just sent flying through the air with nary a scratch. They are even still holding their dinner!)
    Grandma: Ready... Aim... FIRE!
    (Suddenly several cannons open from a nearby cliff and bombard Pon's airship)
    Pon: Hey what? What's goin' on? HEEEEEEY! Stop that!
  • Good Bad Bugs: The UK demo version of the game is supposed to end after the first level, but thanks to the level select cheat, the entire game can be accessed. As such, the demo disc routinely resell for hundreds of dollars.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • So Bad, It's Good: The English dubs for both games are both terrible but utterly hilarious.
