''Battle Clash'', known in Japan as ''Space Bazooka'', is a [[Humongous Mecha|Mecha-themed]] [[Light Gun Game]] released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1992 which supported the Super Scope, a [[Light Gun]] peripheral for the SNES. It was developed by Intelligent Systems of ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' and ''[[Nintendo Wars|Advance Wars]]'' fame. The player assumes the role of the gunner of a mecha ([[A Mech Byby Any Other Name|"Standing Tank", the game's preferred terminology]]) known as the "Falcon", as he helps the pilot, Michael Anderson, defeat the other Standing Tanks around the world in a tournament called the "Battle Game". Eventually, the player and Mike's journey take to the Moon, where they face the tournament's champion, the alien Anubis, [[You Killed My Father|the murderer of Mike's father]].
 
The sequel ''[[Revenge of the Sequel|Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge]]'', released in 1993, took a [[Sequel Escalation]] approach to the original game's premise. The "Battle Game" tournament in the previous game is revealed to be a front for an incoming alien invasion, which now took Mike and the player to other planets around the solar system to defeat the invaders. The sequel further refined the gameplay by adding a training stage to the beginning and a second playable Standing Tank in the form of the "Tornado", piloted by a mysterious young girl named Carol Eugene.
Line 50:
* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: In ''Metal Combat'''s [[Final Boss]] battle, Typhon has captured Rola and uses her to guard his newly-upgraded mech's weak spot. She begs you to shoot her to help bring him down, but you can avoid doing so to get a better ending.
** {{spoiler|PROTIP: Use TURBO Shots.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: The theme that plays after completing a practice level is the same music as the level-up theme from ''[[Fire Emblem]]''. After all, the composer of both games was Yuka Tsujiyoko, the woman behind the music composition of most of the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games.
** The name and effects of the V-System are similliar to V-MAX in [[Blue Comet SPT Layzner]].
* [[Spider Tank]]: The ST Ivan, which is so massive that it takes up the entire screen.
* [[Throwing Your Shield Always Works]]: Carlos in ST Baron, and again in ST Viscount.
* [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]]: Zephyr and his wife Pamela.
* [[Turns Red]]: Inverted. Whenever a part of the enemy ST flashes orange it means that's either the critical weakpoint or that its armor is weakening and becoming a new weakpoint.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: Guido, pilot of Garam and Garam Mk II, is your first opponent in both games.
