Line 8:
** ''Arkanoid II: The Revenge of DoH'' shows why [[Mutually Exclusive Powerups]] are in effect - power-ups were divided into "affects the ball" and "affects the Vaus" effects, and one of each could be active, making levels much easier when Dispersion or Megaball was active at the same time as Catch or Laser. On top of that, one of the effects possible from the shining capsule was to create a double-strength Dispersion (16 balls instead of 8) that also were Megaballs. If that came up, a player would almost have to intentionally try to lose the level.
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: ''Arkanoid'' is a spaceship destroyed in the opening scene. The "paddle" you control is an escape craft named ''Vaus''.
* [[Newer Than They Think]]: The ball being "stuck" to the paddle at the beginning of the round? ''Arkanoid'' was the first game to have that; in all ''Breakout'' clones before that the ball materialized out of thin air somewhere between the bat and bricks.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Gold bricks. Indestructible gold bricks.
