* [[Difficulty by Region]]: R-Type II was so hard, Irem had to tone it town for the American arcade release. Just to get a taste of how bad R-Type II was, the first two levels once featured enemies that strike from behind, including the [[Goddamned Bats|kamikaze]] [[Flying Seafood Special|fish]] from the second stage. The second stage once made the [http://rtype.wikia.com/wiki/Lady Ladies], slow-moving enemies that home in on you and are [[Goddamned Bats|VERY durable in the second loop]], spawned a few seconds apart from each other rather than all at once like the American version, which allowed them to strike from behind. The fifth stage's [[Demonic Spider|enemies that created often-unbreakable blocks in ther wake, shoot in the Japanese version]]. All the stages had bosses with somewhat more health and less useful powerups. Even better, the PSX compilation that contained both this game and the original used the Japanese versions, so there's been no legal way of getting the easier version until Dimensions, unless you find one of the few arcades that still contained this game.
** Leo's Japanese version can't be credit-fed as easily as the American version, since it takes you back to a checkpoint if you die. However, it does have a LOT of checkpoints for each stage, though, and its stages are barely even longer than the original games, which either provided NO checkpoints or just one.
* [[Downer Ending]]: In R-Type Delta {{spoiler|if you play as the Cerberus you don't escape the Bydo dimension and end up trapped in a Bydo plant}}. In R-Type Final {{spoiler|1=there's only one way to beat the game that doesn't result in killing the player character, and it's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng0Jwp6tz44 ''stupidly'' hard]}}. And just in case you thought the series was going to give you a glorious finale in which peace is restored, several ship entries in ''Final'' more or less state outright that humanity is preparing to get back to [[Humans Are
* [[Dynamic Difficulty]]: The difficulty of the first two games increases when you get a Force, and increases some more every time your Force upgrades.
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: It's implied that even in the time the Bydo traveled back to, destroying planets is so routine that most large spacecraft can do it. In fact, it's also implied that the Moritz-G in ''Delta'', a vehicle that fits on a standard highway, could ''completely depopulate the planet Earth''. Subatomic, the rebirthed form of Dobkeratops in ''R-Type II''/''Super'', is also said to have enough firepower to destroy planets.
