* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Death Adder gets an awesomely over-the-top one in ''Revenge of Death Adder;'' he gets an axe planted in his head, falls screaming off the dragon and then for no reason EXPLODES in mid-air.
* [[Fake Ultimate Mook]]: The Corvettes in the third Mega Drive game have full armor in a game where just about everyone else wears a loincloth and possibly a bikini top, are twice the size of the player and the first one is treated like a boss. They are rather easy to defeat once you notice their huge crippling weaknesses, namely their lack of any ability to hit an airborne character, being easily grappled as soon as they (slowly) stand up.

** The names of Longmoan and Heninger are [[Spell My Name With an "S"|mangled references]] to "Longmorn" (a brand of whiskey) and "Henninger" (a German brewery).
** The Zuburoka amazons are named after a brand of Vodka (Żubrówka). Two of its members, Storchinaya and Strobaya, are named after other brands (Stolichnaya and Stolovaya) and while Lemanaya and Guruziya don't fit into the Vodka theme, they have Russian names like the rest.
** For the bosses, we have the Bad Brothers (a misspelling of "Bud", as in "Budweiser"), Sgt. Malt & Sgt. Hop, General Heartland (named after a Japanese brand of beer) and the Bitter knights. The PC Engine version has its own names for the bosses in the form of "Biyadaru" (beer barrel) for the hammer-swinging giants and "Heineken" for the armored knights.

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother, Both Parents, or Twin Brother]]
