  • Big Lipped Alligator Moment: A blue teddy bear, menaced by kissing aliens, operates a power boat and is unceremoniously thrown overboard by a giant lobster. Hell, half the bosses are like this; a cyborg wolf with an Arm Cannon riding a horse, anyone?
  • Breather Boss: Melon Bread is just as easy as he was in Gunstar Heroes, and you can, as before, kill him before he can even attack. Right after him is Seven Force.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The whole soundtrack; of worthy note is Runner AD2025, the first stage theme.
  • Goddamned Bats: Those bee-like enemies that you fight between boss battles. Better have the homing ready, as they come in swarms, shoot at you, then fly erratically and kamikaze you. The bomb-dropping alien birds also do get really annoying too.
  • Goddamned Boss: Some of the bosses may not be tough, but they are certainly annoying.
  • Nightmare Fuel: More than a few of the enemies encountered are grotesque. Sniper Honeyviper especially comes to mind.
    • The moth/fly boss that eventually gets eaten by Back Stringer. Watching it futilely flap its wings as the spider approaches and while the spider EATS IT ALIVE may gives you chills.
  • Tear Jerker: That cute blue bear that drives the boat for you? He gets thrown into the river by the Lobster boss, helplessly calling for help.
