''Panzer Bandit'' is a 1997 [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] [[Beat 'Em Up]] developed by Fill-in Cafe and published by Banpresto for the [[Play Station]]. The game is a [[Sprite Polygon Mix|mix of 2D sprites with 3D backgrounds]], with sprite-based characters running in a 2.5D environment. The game plays similary to [[Sega Saturn]]'s ''[[Guardian Heroes]]'', except with only 2 planes of movement to jump back and forth. Each character has three basic attack options: two melee attacks and one [[Mana Meter|energy draining]] special. There are special moves done with button combinations, as well as [[Limit Break|powerful Hyper attacks]], both of which cost energy as well (which is recovered by rackiung up big [[Combos]]).
 
Set in a [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|not-so distant future]] where the natural sources of energy are disappearing due to human consumption. Then along it comes an evil organization known as Ark, with their ''[[Space Whale|whale-shaped air fortress]]'' and gang of robot [[Mooks]] seeking to claim the remaning sources of energy to, obviously, [[Take Over the World]]. Good scientist Kron confronts the heads of Ark: the [[Mad Scientist]] Farado and his ally Golden, but can't do much to stop them. Thus, he gathers a 4-man team (comprised of [[The Hero|Kou]], [[Guns Akimbo|Ein]], [[Action Girl|Kasumi]] and Miu) in order to get back at Ark and stop their plans.

----
=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[A Boy and His X]]: Kou, Jin and Kasumi are accompanied by a [[Robot Buddy]] each. In Kasumi's case, a fox-shaped one.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: 1st boss Gustaff.
* [[Elevator Action Sequence]]: The 8th and final stage is comprised entirely of a descending elevator as one faces [[Boss Rush|each one of the bosses in quick succession]].
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]]: Mecha-Monkeys appear as [[Giant Mook|Giant Mooks]] and [[Mini Boss|Mini Bosses]].
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Miu's mecha and 6th boss Shiden.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Jin is one to Kou, and actually plays identical to him save one different Hyper.
* [[Five -Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]: Kou.
** [[The Lancer]]: Kasumi.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Ein.
** [[The Chick]]: Miu.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Ein uses them in both Special (which can be aimed low and high as an anti-air) and Hyper variant. Tsubai, being his [[Expy]], has also extensive use of them.
