- Demonic Spiders:
- Zoshis (the UFOs that resemble small sawblades from above) chase you down and try to shoot you down, consequently being very close when doing so.
- Zakatos. They materialize in swarms close to the Solvalou, and explode, firing a single shot at you. Brag Zakatos are even worse: they behave identically, except their payload is a wide spread of 5 shots.
- The Frossers in Arrangement and Ressurection. They move around the screen very quickly, and fire a homing Brag Spario at the Solvalou. They also tend to come in swarms.
- I Am Not Shazam: A lot of gamers thought the ship was named Xevious, but it's actually called the Solvalou.
- Scrappy Mechanic: The arcade Super Xevious features a few targets that, if destroyed, zero your score out. It doesn't matter if you have only 100 points or a world-record score, you can lose that entire score because you fired at the wrong target.
- Video Game Movies Suck: There was a CGI-animated Xevious theatrical movie that got a very small theatrical run in Japanese theaters in 2002. It is currently lost media, but by all accounts it was a poorly animated Cliché Storm.
