* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: One of the levels in the NES version, in which your characters are tossed inside by the Plow Brothers.
* [[Badass Normal]]: The final boss (Batista in the Japanese original). He spams missiles and bombs, and can take A LOT of damage before he goes down.
* [[Banana Republic]]
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Only in the NES version, for both your gun and bombs.
* [[Collision Damage]]: Touch a [[Mook]], and you will die. Unless you're in a tank, in which case they'll die (unless ''they're'' in a tank, in which case your tank will die).
* [[The Dragon]]: The Plow Brothers in the NES version.
* [[Fire-Breathing Weapon]]: The flamethrower, which can kill many enemies in a row.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Jungle Japes]]: Stage 1.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The [[Big Bad]] in the arcade version manages to run away from the fight. In the NES version, you give him a well-deserved killing.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzhxFNDBTUo The] [[Final Boss]].
* [[Made of Iron]]: The [[Big Bad]] in the NES version can take more damage than a few tanks ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzhxFNDBTUo see here]). WHAT.
* [[Multi
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Your character dies in one hit. If you're in a tank, it can take one explosive attack before you have to get out (or it explodes on you).▼
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|No Politicians Were Harmed]]: In the original Japanese release, the characters you use are [[Che Guevara]] and [[Fidel Castro]]. We kid you not.
▲* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Your character dies in one hit. If you're in a tank, it can take one explosive attack before you have to get out (or it explodes on you).
* [[Recurring Boss]]: The Plow Brothers and their plow. The tank-driving [[Mini Boss]] in the second stage may also count, as you fight a similar but stronger one as the boss.
* [[Smart Bomb]]: A [[Power-Up]] in the NES version made your next grenade nuke all enemies on the screen.
* [[Spread Shot]]: The NES version's "S" weapon gives you a traditional spread shot, and the "T" weapon gives you a shrapnel rocket, which explodes into three shots after it hits an enemy or if it travels a specific distance.
** Some enemies will also use these on you.
* [[Stalked
* [[Tank Goodness]]: As with ''[[Ikari Warriors]]'', you can ride in a tank, which is immune to regular bullets. However, a single explosive will put it out of commission. The same goes for enemies in tanks
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: The NES version has the Plow Brothers, two big burly men who ride a plow. The first time you destroy their plow, they toss your characters into a mine. Later, you encounter them in a city, and they toss you into a sewer. You get your revenge when you fight their plow the second time, as they fail to get out before it explodes.
* [[Underground Monkey]]: Mostly averted with the regular soldiers, played straight with the enemy tanks.
* [[Vehicular Assault]]: Most of the bosses.
