=== The series exhibits the following tropes: ===

* [[1-Up]]: Almost entirely averted; the only way to get 1-ups is to complete a loop in a multi-loop difficulty setting. This has the effect of making, for instance, ''Jet'''s Simulation Level 50, impossible to reach on one credit without fulfilling a different, counterintuitive requirement.

* [[Anti-Grinding]]: Players that milk bosses will find nasty surprises in the form of undodgeable patterns or sudden death waves.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most of the impressive-looking weaponry is far outclassed by ships with boring-looking but effective weaponry, especially the Slave's. [[Awesome Yet Practical|The Flying Ray and Ixion's laser attacks follow a different rule, though.]]

Line 40:

* [[Off the Chart]]: A few ships have attributes that go beyond the end of the bar chart on the ship select screen, like the Judge Spear's speed, or Raiden mk-II's rapid fire rating.

* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]
