▲''Fire Shark'', known in Japan as ''Same! Same! Same!'', is a 1989 [[Shoot Em Up]] arcade game developed and published by [[Toaplan]]. The player controls a biplane and builds up a score by shooting a variety of military targets.
In the year 19X9, on an alternate Earth, a global super-power known as the S Corps, which specializes in a heavy industrial army, begins invading various countries. All seems lost when a phantom pilot flying a super-powered biplane called the Tiger Shark flies in to save the world from domination.
''Fire Shark'' shares quite a few similarities to ''[[
{{tropelist}}
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The Flamethrower weapon at max level. It basically shoots two straight streams of damaging flames out in front, while another two on each side sweeps the entire area (except directly behind the player), allowing you to sweep away most regular Mooks. Best of all, it does a massive amount of damage per second.
* [[Battleship Raid]]: Present in this game, you get to fight regular battleships as well as boss fights like these.
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Besides the [[Dynamic Difficulty]], the game will also make the [[Power
* [[Continuing Is Painful]]: Everytime you die in the Genesis version, you're sent back to a checkpoint area powered down by 1 level, have your speed lowered, your bombs reset to three and you weapon changed to the rather weak [[Spread Shot]].
* [[Dual Boss]]: The fist boss pits you against two tanks, another boss pits you against three land vehicle things, and yet another boss pits you against three durable planes.
* [[Dynamic Difficulty]]: And how
* [[Engrish]]: When beating the game on hard mode: "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE GREATEST PLAYER !"
* [[Everything
* [[Excuse Plot]]: As above.
* [[Fire
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Almost all the bosses are accompanied with basic run-of-the-mill [[Mooks]]. Unfortunately, that also includes [[Demonic Spiders|Tanks and Gunboats]]...
* [[Giant Mook]]: The large tanks and planes that you have to fight. Funnily enough, many of the large aircraft can take much more damage than many of the large land vehicles.
Line 28 ⟶ 24:
* [[Mutually Exclusive Powerups]]: The three weapon powerups. Really annoying when the enemies start dropping blue powerups everywhere, when all you want is to keep your flamethrower...
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Happens when the [[Dynamic Difficulty]] is turned up.
* [[One
* [[Playing
* [[
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The ''Truxton'' series, also by Toaplan.
* [[Rule of Three]]: You're given three lives to start, you get 3 bombs per life, there are three different weapons, and you need to collect three power up icons to get an upgrade in your weapon.
* [[Smart Bomb]]: Present in the game, and looks very similar to the bomb weapon in ''[[
* [[Spread Shot]]: The blue weapon. VERY similar to the red weapon in ''[[
* [[Suspicious Videogame Generosity]]: At the end of stage 10, you see three power-up carrying blimps. [[Final Boss|I wonder why]]...?
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Many of the regular Mooks, as well as some bosses.
* [[Video Game Flamethrowers Suck]]: COMPLETELY [[Averted Trope|AVERTED]].
* [[Wolfpack Boss]]: The city boss, three large planes, and the snowfield boss, three land vehicle things. If you don't kill the previous one in time, you'll be assaulted by 2-3 of them!
