Line 15:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Artificial Brilliance]]: The enemies are able to adapt to spam attacks with dodges, blocks, and counterattacks, even better than in the first game.
** [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The pathfinding for the enemies is a bit on the dumb side, as they tend to walk into traps, or other dangerous scenery elements a lot.
* [[Badass]]: Alex and Ryan proves they are again.
** [[Badass Beard]]: Alex now sports a very Paul Bunyan-esque beard, while Ryan sports Badass Permastubble.
** [[Badass Crew]]: Not only can you gain allies to assemble one, the multiplayer mode is based on this trope.
* [[Bash Brothers]]; Alex and Ryan are still this 20 years after the first game.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Roxy now works as the receptionist of Alex and Ryan's auto shop. Her formerly being Slick's girlfriend is also noted. It's also hinted her and Ryan are more than friends.
** The combat system takes a lot of cues from the GBA remake of the original as opposed to the original NES version.
** Merv's Burger still has the smile option like the original game as "Free", though [[Tearjerker|there seems to be some sadness behind the smile]].
** A lot of areas greatly resemble the original areas they were derived from that were taken from the original game.
** The leader of the Nerds is the son of {{spoiler|the leader of the Home Boys from the original game}}.
* [[Clear My Name]]: One of your main reasons for trying to stay alive.
* [[Crawl]] One will show up at the bottom of the screen referencing what you did that just raised the ire of the cops.
Line 30 ⟶ 33:
* [[Fanservice]]: The hot springs scenes are back, only this time even Provie, a black woman, gets to join in on giving the player a brief glimpse of her bare backside.
* [[Funny Afro]]: Ryan's hair in modern day sports a hilarious looking pompadour.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Practically everyone at one point or another, though special mention goes to Alex and Ryan, who, by the time you meet them, have already figured out something is wrong with the announcement they got about The Flock because their have been a lot of kidnappings that don
* [[Hint System]]: Roxy serves as this for the good guys. Se never seen leaving her desk, but it's implied she has a lot of contacts she calls on the phone around the city that keep her in the know about what is going on.
* [[In The Hood]]: Provie, who wears a hoodie.
* [[Jerkass]]: You can be this, if you beat up on innocent people, who lack invincibility this time unlike in the original games.
Line 46 ⟶ 50:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Abobo, the [[Hulk Speak]] spewing giant who [[Dynamic Entry|shows up by punching through whatever walls are in the background]]. He shows up on occasion to menace the heroes and drops more money that most other enemies as a reward every time you beat him.
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]: Yes and no. You can hit some things like parking meters and soda machines for free goodies, but it will get the cops mad and they will chase you around until you lose them.
* [[Salaryman]]: Rocko seems to have become the American equivalent since his appearance in the first game.
* [[Theme Naming]]: The gangs all have themey names like the original.
** The Warlocks all have names either cribbed from fictional demons or occult literature, and their dialogue is amusingly [[Genre Savvy]].
Line 51 ⟶ 56:
** The Luchas are a gang of luchadors.
** The (Ste)Roids, a bunch of jocks who clearly abuse muscle enhancers.
** The cops (who counts as a gang for gameplay purposes), all bear names you'd typically expect cops to have like "Ramirez" and "
** The Bombers, who are fond of dive boming attacks, and seem to have an [[Elvis Impersonator]] thing going.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Inverted. Alex has orange hair like his Japanese version did in the Kunio-kun games after the prologue because the game lacks the NES color limitations. The prologue is supposed to emulate the original NES experience, so it remains black then.
