Line 27:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Julia from ''PS2'' is a brightly-colored variant
* [[Excuse Plot]]/[[Left Hanging]]: The second game has a plot that's [[All There in the Manual]] about how each character is looking into their own personal quest/mystery. ''None'' of them are ever alluded to in the actual game, let alone resolved.
* [[Fire -Breathing Diner]]: One of Rouge's Power Drive attacks.
** And Gourmand is a Fire Breathing ''[[Inverted Trope|chef]]''. Go figure.
* [[Five -Man Band|Four Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]: Falcon
** [[The Lancer]] / [[The Big Guy]]: Ryoma
Line 39:
* [[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 61:
* [[Shout Out]]: Some of the transformations look awfully familiar, like [[Dragonball Z|Wang-Tang's]], [[Ronin Warriors|Ryoma's]], [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Galuda's]], and [[Fantastic Four|Gunrock's]].
** The [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Buster]] is a craftable and usable weapon in the second game.
** Capcom's first arcade title is called ''Vulgus''. The final boss of ''Power Stone'' is called Valgas, [[Spell My Name With an "S"|and the two names are identical in Japanese]]. Hmm...
* [[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.]]
* [[Sword Beam]]: Powered-up Ryoma has several variants of this.
