Line 8:
* '''Arthur''', wielding [[Excalibur]], a broadsword. He's [[Jack of All Stats|the most balanced out of the three]], with average strength and speed. He starts out wearing leather armor and a red tunic, and as he level ups he gets more armor pieces, eventually ending in full-body armor.
* '''Lancelot''', wielding a [[Sinister Scimitar|scimitar]]. He's a swordsman [[Walking the Earth|travelling all over the world]] looking for a worthy king to serve. He's the [[Fragile Speedster]], fast but with weak attack and defense. Lancelot has [[Hair of Gold|long blond hair]] and wears a blue tunic, which is replaced by plate armor as he levels up.
* '''Perceval''', wielding a [[An Axe to Grind|giant axe]]. Son of a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], Perceval is a [[Gentle Giant]] who's willing to help Arthur on his quest. He's also remained undefeated due to his great physique. He's the [[Mighty Glacier]], powerful and durable, but really slow. He changes the most as he levels up, losing his blond hair and getting bald, plus growing a beard.
The enemy forces are comprised of:
* '''Scorn, the First Challenge'''. A tall and skinny fully armored knight wielding a halberd. He has a tendency to laugh in the middle of the fight.
* '''Braford, the Swordsmaster'''. Cavalry knight wielding twin swords, and capable of [[Sword Beam|shooting energy out of them
* '''Arlon, the Silver Emperor'''. Garibaldi's younger brother, who has taken over Castle Fort. He's a massive man wielding a morning star, and can create shockwaves by jump stomping.
* '''Phantom, the Nightshade'''. A mysterious man with illusion techniques. He uses knives as well as trained eagles. He also owns and commands the Iron Golem, a giant armor puppet suspended by chains which has [[Spike Balls of Doom|spiked balls as hands]].
* '''Balbars, the Hammer'''. Garibaldi's Advanced Guard and a massive armored behemoth wielding a big hammer. He has super armor (he doesn't flinch when hit) and a grab/pound move.
* '''Muramasa, the Blood Armor'''. A
* '''Garibaldi, the Golden Emperor'''. The [[Final Boss]], a [[Palette Swap]] of his brother Arlon, albeit beefed-up considerably. He starts the fight mounted on a horse, and using Braford's energy blasts.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Bomb]]: The Buster Drones in the section just before the Iron Golem. Whenever ''anything'' hits them, whether your blade or the ceiling spike balls, they'll blow up in a short-range flame scatter.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Muramasa's weapon and armor would not be developed until several ''centuries'' after the time when the Arthurian legends were supposed to take place. Then again, the same could be said for the kind of tourney that takes up the first part of
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Perceval. The ''Bird Man'' mook uses a small axe too.
* [[Animals Lack Attributes]]: Averted with the Mad Tiger enemy, which when knocked into the air is revealed to have a sizeable pair of balls between its legs.
* [[Arrows on Fire]]: It does ''not'' take long for the Barbarian mooks to start doing this.
* [[
* [[The Beast Master]]: Phantom.▼
** [[Marionette Master]] too, considering he uses (and likely has built) the Iron Golem.▼
* [[BFS]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Sword Man"]] mooks carry these.
* [[Big Bad]]: Garibaldi.
Line 32 ⟶ 35:
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The arcade demo is specially hilarious.
{{quote|'''Merlin:''' ''"Only the holy grail can release this world from attain the chaos."}}
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Phantom. Averted by Lancelot
▲* [[The Beast Master]]: Phantom.
▲** [[Marionette Master]] too, considering he uses (and likely has built) the Iron Golem.
* [[Boss Subtitles]]: All bosses are given one before battle, as seen above.
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]: Arlon and Garibaldi use Morning Stars in tandem with [[Power Fist|spiked gauntlets
* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: As was the norm back then with Beat'Em Ups, the "[[Limit Break|Mega Crush]]" drains some health if it connects.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Similarly to ''Final Fight'', only up to three players can play simultaneously this time.
Line 47:
** The Iron Golem can make either debris or barrels fall down when it hits the ground.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Scorn appears later as an [[Elite Mook]] named ''Tall Man''.
* [[Doppelganger Attack]]: An oblique version occurs when Phantom's second group of escorts appears. Two of them are Sky Walkers, [[Mook|Mooks]] that look just like him
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Balbars.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Braford wields a sword-and-longsword combo.
Line 71:
* [[Race Lift]]: Bizarrely happens to Perceval in-game, starting off as a blonde-haired, clean-shaven Caucasian and, as he levels up, into a bald, bearded, [[Ambiguously Brown]] man.
* [[Royal Rapier]]: Phantom and the [[Mooks]] styled like him wield one.
* [[Sadly Mythtaken]]: As usual in this type of setting, [[Excalibur]] and [[Only the Chosen May Wield|the Sword in the Stone]] are [[Excalibur in the Stone|one and the same
* [[Samurai]]: Muramasa.
* [[Sinister Scimitar]]: Lancelot, albeit without the "sinister" part since he's one of the heroes.▼
* [[Shockwave Stomp]]: Arlon and Garibaldi.
▲* [[Sinister Scimitar]]: Lancelot, albeit without the "sinister" part since he's one of the heroes.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Perceval (which ''may'' count in itself) is consistently typoed ''Parceval'' during the ending.
* [[Stab the Sky]]: The [[Victory Pose]] of all three heroes upon completing a stage. Also, the three heroes and a host of good knights do the same in the ending.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: Both Stage
* [[Sword Beam]]: Braford and Garibaldi can do this.
* [[Teleport Spam]]: The Magician [[Mooks]].
* [[Five-Man Band|Three-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]
** [[The Lancer]]
** [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]: One of Phantom's attacks involves leaping straight up, then flinging a firebomb straight down as he begins to fall. The impact sends flames scattering in several directions. It's worth noting that if he lands on a slow flame, Phantom ''himself'' will be knocked down, although not hurt.
* [[Tin Tyrant]]: Garibaldi. Arlon and Balbars look the part too.
