* [[Extra Life|1-Up]]:
** The Guy and Haggar dolls added in ''Final Fight Guy'' serve as instant extra lives. The GBA version also adds a Cody doll as well.
** The Guy doll also appears in ''Final Fight 2'' as a 1-Up for all three characters.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]] -: Subverted in the GBA version. You don't get new clothes for the characters, [[Palette Swap|but you can change the color of their clothing.]] Alpha Cody and Alpha Guy count somewhat in this regard. Even though their sprites are different, their fighting ability are identical to their regular counterpart. Now if only they had added Haggar from ''Slam Masters'' as well.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: Stage 3. West Side.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: ''Final Fight: Streetwise''. The rest of the series are more of [[Black and White Morality]].
Line 39:
** [[Jack of All Stats|Jacks of All Stats]]: {{color|blue|'''Cody'''}} in the first game, {{color|blue|'''Carlos'''}} in the second, and '''Dean''' in the third.
** [[Fragile Speedster|Fragile Speedsters]]: {{color|red|'''Guy'''}} in the first and third games, {{color|red|'''Maki'''}} in the second.
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: {{color|green|'''Haggar'''}}.
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: {{color|blue|'''Lucia'''}}.
* [[Contemptible Cover]]: The original SNES port features a cover that is naught but a blank background and an extreme close-up shot of Haggar and a burly [[Leather Man]] thug, possibly meant to be Abigail, eyeballing each other. It sends a [[Hard Gay|somewhat different message]] of what the game is about than Capcom USA probably intended.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]:
Line 48:
** [http://www.mobygames.com/game/final-fight/cover-art/gameCoverId,172554/ The packaging illustration] for the home computer ports by U.S. Gold depicts Cody (with dark hair instead of his usual blond) confronting a group of punks in a train with a few bystanders witnessing the action. In the game, the only people in the train besides the player are all enemies.
* [[Cut the Fuse]]: In the original game's Game Over screen, you're tied up with a bomb next to you. Continuing means a knife drops in to cut the fuse.
* [[Death Trap]]: In the first game, when you lost, the bad guys just tied you up to a chair with a bundle of dynamite placed in front of you. In the later games, they get a bit more elaborate.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Cody and Guy in ''Final Fight 2''. The latter does return to player character status in ''Final Fight 3''.
* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]
Line 55:
* [[Every Ten Thousand Points|Every 200,000 points]]: In the arcade version, the game can be set to allow up to five extra lives (one for the first 100,000 points and the rest for every subsequent 200,000 points), just one extra life or none at all. In the SNES version, the player can gain even more extra lives after the fifth one, resulting in a somewhat easier game, but the maximum stock the player can hold is capped at nine.
* [[Exploding Barrels]]: The ones that are on fire, anyhow.
* [[Fight Clubbing]]: The heroes fight Sodom in an underground fighting ring and the Andore family (Father, Grandpa, and Uncle) in a steel cage match.
* [[Fireball Eyeballs]]: In the intro to ''Final Fight 2'', Haggar briefly gets these, which then form the "2" on the title screen logo.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: The continue screens in all three games. The first one has the character tied to a chair with a stick of dynamite placed in front of them, the second has the character tied in a flooding room, and the third has a spike trap descending towards your tied character.
* [[Head Swap]]: Most of the enemy grunts except for Poison and Roxy, as well as all the Andores, who are actually [[Palette Swap|palette swaps]]. Abigail, the Round 5 boss, is a head swap of Andore.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Hurricane Kick]]: Some of the Megacrush attacks. Specifically Cody's Double Kick and Guy's ''Senpūkyaku'', as well as Lucia's Hurricane Spinner. Maki's ''Reppūkyaku'' is a variant done while in a handstand.
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]: smashSmash background object, receive perfectly healthy foodstuff, get health back.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]
* [[Mission Pack Sequel]]: ''Final Fight 2'' is basically the SNES port of the first game with nation-themed stages and different enemies, along with a full 3-character roster and 2-Player co-op mode brought back. It even brought back Rolento, a boss from the original arcade game who was missing in the SNES port.
Line 71:
* [[Rape as Drama]]: Well, the implied threat of it.
{{quote|'''Haggar:''' You son of a... What have you done to her?
'''Damnd:''' Nothing yet... but we'd enjoy the opportunity... }}
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: ''Final Fight: Streetwise''.
* [[Respect the Pipe]]: Pipes are common weapons, known for being slow but hard-hitting with decent range.
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]] -: Hungry? Destroy some trash cans and get a whole roast chicken!
* [[Multiple Endings|Segmented Ending]]: ''Final Fight Guy'' had one, as did the two SNES sequels.
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: From the Game Boy Advance remake:
{{quote|'''Alpha Guy:''' As I thought, Jessica is here.
'''Belger:''' Who are you? You are not listed...
'''Alpha Guy:''' Maybe... I'm not the same person I was back then. {{spoiler|I'm wearing new shoes!}}!
'''Belger:''' .....}}
* [[Shared Universe]]: With the ''Slam Masters'' and ''Street Fighter'' series.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The first game takes ''a lot'' of inspiration from ''[[Streets of Fire]]''.
* [[Sinister Subway]]: The second stage in the original game.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Pretty much every CPS beat 'em up Capcom produced afterward is ''Final Fight'' with a new theme or popular license (i.e:. ''[[Knights of the Round]]'' is medieval ''Final Fight'', ''[[Captain Commando]]'' is sci-fi ''Final Fight'', and so on).
* [[Super-Deformed]]: ''Mighty Final Fight'' is essentially the original ''Final Fight'' converted to the 8-bit [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] with [[RPG Elements|an experience points system]] and chibi characters and a more humorous plot.
* [[Unique Enemy]]: The "regular" and Junior versions of Andore are very common in the original arcade game, but the Father, Grandpa and Uncle variants are exclusive to the cage fight scene in Round 3 (and Uncle only appears if a second player is present).
