**** [[Doom (Comic Book)|Better believe it, soldier!]]
*** Another special mention is [[We Have Reserves|''Disposable Warrior'']] which you have to stock up to 20 or more lives. The main reason this is so hard is because not only are a lot of the lives littered throughout levels, they can reach [[Guide Dang It]] level of finding them, not to mention some lives are in very... volatile areas. Thankfully, it's made easier because you simply have to get 20 lives, and you don't need to keep them. Keeping the lives while you climb up to 20 is the hard part.
* [[No Fair Cheating]] / [[Anti -Grinding]]: Attempting to milk a safespot for CP and score will eventually result in a [[Guilty Gear|NEGATIVE PENALTY]], locking your score for the rest of the stage. That being said, the negative penalty takes a while to activate, meaning that one can theoretically grind for quite some time, die, then go back to the same spot and do it all over again for more points. It also seems to be easily fooled by doing anything except holding the fire button, allowing you to easily get enough points to max out your character several times over before it kicks in if you're bored enough to keep shooting the said respawning enemies manually or park your character on one of the conveyer belts in level 5 so that they're constantly pushed by the boxes coming out of the machine.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Leviathan starts out this way. He can also only wield one weapon at a time.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: The sole reason [[That One Boss|Vitus Engine]] is sometimes referred to as the [[Game Breaker|Sayuri]] killer. It's last attack consists of it rolling around the rim you stand on, and if it hits you, it deals one HP of damage... and sends you flying off the platform into a pit. The only way to avoid it is to successfully hit it, something that only Sayuri has trouble with due to her limited range, especially since it keeps gaining speed with every hit which eventually makes it so quick that it's extremely difficult for her to hit it even with autofire before it hits her.

* [[Sand Worm]]: The boss of the first level is a robotic variant. You also fight other smaller robotic ones in the first level, which the boss also spits out.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Dr. Mandrake, as revealed by Harley.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Boss 4 is ripped straight out of ''[[Gradius]],'' complete with ring bullets and [[Attack Its Weak Point|core shooting]].
** The Ripple weapon is also fired much like its Gradius counterpart, albeit with a much shorter range, but it has the benefit of negating and even reflecting enemy shots.
*** And finally, the [[Mook Maker|Mook Makers]] and the flying drones they spawn from level 8 are both straight from Gradius
