Before the game itself, Ace is zapped with said ray, which transforms him into his previous geeky teenage self. The rub is that, due to some apparent malfunction or his own body chemistry, the effects turned out somewhat wonky, and he switches between his adult, musclebound self and his younger self at the least opportune times. The game itself took care of this by utilizing one button that served as the weapons button and the "energize button", and when Ace's wrist weapon flashed you had the option of transforming into Ace or simply remaining as Dexter to carry out the mission...and thankfully, [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|Bluth animated two separate scenes for each of these instances]] seeing as how Ace could dispatch enemies quickly and Dexter had to use his smarts to get past them.

Unlike ''Dragon's Lair'', where Dirk was semi-mute, both Ace and Kimmy spoke throughout the adventure, commenting on the weirdness around them as well as going over the game plan to reach Borf and stop him, which added a little more humor to this game than ''Dragon's Lair''.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The SNES port. Check out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKQaWRBiKlY Frankomatic's] playthrough of the game and you'll come out believing it to be one of the hardest games ever made. And to top it off, to view the game's ending, you have to get the highest rating in every single level (kill a requisite amount of enemies and collect enough glowing disc powerups, and with near perfect accuracy and minimal shots fired to boot). Given the game's wonky controls and absurd difficulty (Dexter [[One

* [[Panty Shot]]: Frequently with Kimberly, apparently.
* [[Revenge of the Nerd]]: Implied, given that the macho, self-confident Ace was originally scrawny, nerdy (but still obviously athletic) Dexter. Could also be interpreted when the nasties hunting down Dexter find themselves mashed or vaporized when the nerd suddenly transforms into Ace.
