* [[Rank Inflation]]: Both games embrace this trope like their 3D brothers, awarding you a lettered rank based on your score in an act/boss fight. The levels are, from best to worst, S, A, B, and C. Furthermore, in the second game, ranks also serve a purpose besides [[Bragging Rights Reward|bragging rights]]; the better your rank, the more of a mineral you'll get.
