''Power Stone'' is a [[Mascot Fighter]] video game series created by [[Capcom]]. Beginning with the first game in 1999, ''Power Stone'' received only one sequel, ''Power Stone 2'', the following year. The two games were released for the arcade and ported to the [[Sega Dreamcast]], and later to the [[
Gameplay in the ''Power Stone'' series is unconventional, at least compared to the [[Street Fighter|many]] [[Capcom vs. Whatever|other]] [[Darkstalkers
Not to be confused with a certain weapon from ''[[

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Rouge's top was re-colored from blue in the games to white in the anime.
* [[The Anime of the Game]]: A 26-episode series was aired in 1999.
* [[Belly Dancer]]: As if dressing like and being said to be a belly dancer weren't sexy enough, Rouge uses [[Dance Battler|a fighting style that is]] ''[[Dance Battler|based]]'' [[Dance Battler|on her belly dancing]].
* [[Capcom vs. Whatever]]: One of only two Capcom franchises to have never appeared in a [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] proper (the other being the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' series). Made even more bizarre that this is the sole ''fighting game series'' by Capcom that has never appeared in a [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] involving their own intellectual property.
** Falcon does get a few cameos, though; he appears in a stage for [[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium]], and in [[
** Falcon, Rouge, Wang Tang, Ryoma and Ayame also appeared in the first two ''[[Card Fighters Clash]]''.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Wang Tang is a fairly blatant [[Homage]] to a certain [[Shonen]] [[Dragonball Z|anime hero]].
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** [[The Lancer]] / [[The Big Guy]]: Ryoma
** [[The Chick|The Chicks]]: Rouge and Ayame
* [[Free
* [[Gang Up
* [[Gosh Hornet]]: The beehive item.
* [[High Altitude Battle]]
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Pharaoh Walker boss in the second game.
* [[Interesting Situation Duel]]
* [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]: Not only old place names, but ''misspelled'' names as well ("Londo", "Mahdad"). Either that or it's just a twisted case of [[Bland-Name Product]].
* [[Item Crafting]]: In Power Stone 2, combining weapons and items unlocks new ones. Some require in-game [[Guide Dang It|guides]] and/or sheer luck.
* [[Joke Character]]: In Power Stone 2, it is possible to play as Mel the shopkeeper. Why you would want to, however...
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* [[Power Makeover]]
* [[Retraux]]: The intro.
* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: In Power Stone 2, if the players take too long to kill each other, meteors rain down and reduces everyone's health to 1 and sudden death starts. Taking too long to kill each other in sudden death will have even ''more meteors'' rain down and finish everyone off, ending in a draw.
* [[Samurai]]: Ryoma.
* [[Screw the Rules I Have Plot]]: You need three power stones to transform. Not in the anime, apparently.
* [[Shamu Fu]]: The Frozen Tuna weapon.
* [[Shout
** The [[Mega Man (
** Capcom's first arcade title is called ''Vulgus''. The final boss of ''Power Stone'' is called Valgas, [[Spell My Name
* [[SNK Boss]]: '''''Valgas.''''' Aside from the fact that beating him may require several tries with difficulty set to 1 (with a maximum of ''eight''), what makes him so cheap is that not only his grab can make you lose ''two'' Power Stones at once, but said stones also tend to ''bounce out of your reach '''and''' right next to him'', with him usually entering his [[Super Mode]] while you're still getting back up. The fact his [[One-Winged Angel]] is actually ''[[Clipped-Wing Angel|weaker]]'' than him [[Anticlimax Boss|(with obvious results:]] "Final Valgas" can be easily beaten ''at the first try'') shouldn't surprise anyone.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: If you thought Rouge's default [[Belly Dancer]] outfit was cute, [[Up to Eleven|wait until you see her transformed.]]
