Line 28:
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: Just about everyone not controlled by the player get stuck on various obstacles, not to mention falling in [[Bottomless Pit]] while trying to reach you or escaping.
* [[Art Shift]]: All the Mega Drive games in Japan feature a precautions guide at the end of their manuals on how to properly maintain their Mega Drive cartridges. However, the precautions guide in the ''Golden Axe II'' manual was drawn in a realistic Americanized style instead of the usual cartoony one.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: The three protagonists, Axe Battler, Tyrus Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead. Death Adder too, for that matter.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: The Bad Brothers in the first game.
* [[Barbarian Hero]]: All three of the heroes.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* [[Bottomless Pit]]: Lots of them, and the [[Speed Run|fastest]] way to defeat enemies is to knock them in there.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]:
** Ax Battler and Tyris Flare couldn't be more obviously based on [[Conan the Barbarian]] and [[Red Sonja]] without being outright copyright infringement. In fact, developer Makota Uchida has outright admitted he rented ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' and watched it ''dozens'' of times to get the feel of how a [[Barbarian Hero]] should be depicted.
** Chronos (the panther-man in ''Golden Axe III'') is basically [[Guin Saga|Guin]].
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]: The club-wielding Longmoans and the mace-wielding Heningers.
Line 76 ⟶ 77:
* [[Legacy Character]]: The three leads of ''The Duel'', Kain Blade, Milan Flare and Gillius Rockhead.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Trix the halfling farmer in ''The Revenge of Death Adder''. Worst attack and range, but is the only one who can heal, meaning he lasts the longest in fights. As Trix always produces more than enough food for every player to heal once, it meant he could be vital to a team's survival. Also, despite his poor damage and range, he attacks so fast he can easily keep multiple groups of enemies stun-locked. There's a reason Trix is the preferred character for 1-credit runs.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: In the original game, Tyris needs five Potions simply to use her Fire Magic at Level 2 efficiency. However, once she has five, each additional Potion increases her power by another Level, up to Level 9, enough to instantly kill any and all enemies on the field except a boss.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: In the original arcade game, the player simply goes to the castle and beat up Death Adder. In the Genesis version (on the normal difficulty), the player must fight a palette-swapped version of Death Adder known as the [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Death Bringer]] after fighting the standard version.
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: In ''Beast Rider'', Tyris can be reduced to various hunks of meat upon reaching [[Critical Existence Failure]].
