Line 18:
* [[Attack Drone]]: 3SVO II are small white robots that move on the floor and fire lasers. They are short, making them slightly difficult to hit (Hint: throw them for massive damage).
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: Kamaitachi is armed with wickedly-curved blades built into his arms. [[Spin Attack|he likes to whip them around.]]
* [[Breath Weapon]]: The Fire Ninjas (the [[Mooks]] in red gis with [[Blond Guys Are Evil|long blonde hair]]) are actually fire-breathers.▼
* [[Bowdlerize]]: The Kunoichi enemies were removed in the overseas versions due to Nintendo of America's stance against the depicting violence against women. However, instead of replacing them with sprite-swapped versions of the same enemy like Capcom did with the SNES versions of ''[[Final Fight]]'' games, they simply replaced all of their appearances with that of another enemy character (Saru).
▲* [[Breath Weapon]]: The Fire Ninjas (the [[Mooks]] in red gis with [[Blond Guys Are Evil|long blonde hair]]) are actually fire-breathers.
* [[Combos]]: Your regular attacks do this automatically, so it's probably more an example of [[Button Mashing]]. Each character also has a second, more powerful combo finisher, but it requires a portion of your Blaster bar and [[Guide Dang It|the game never tells you how to do it]].
* [[Competitive Balance]]: of the [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]] variety common in beat-'em-ups.
Line 29:
* [[Crate Expectations]]: Usually contain health items. Can be thrown at [[Mooks]] [[For Massive Damage]]. In fact, this is required to break them open.
* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: Character death animations involve the outer shell exploding off, revealing the robotic skeleton beneath.
* [[Determinator]]: The player-controlled androids are programmed for a single purpose: {{spoiler|Kill Banglar.}}▼
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: The Kunoichi enemies.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Gigant (the Stage 1 boss) reappears later as a [[Mini Boss]]. A pair of upgraded head-swapped models named Phobos and Deimos appear as [[Dual Boss|the twin bosses]] of Stage 6.
▲* [[Determinator]]: The player-controlled androids are programmed for a single purpose: {{spoiler|Kill Banglar.}}
* [[Difficulty by Region]]: The Japanese title has those [[Stripperiffic|skimpily-dressed]] Kunoichi enemies while the English versions replaces them with more short monkey dudes that sport [[Wolverine Claws]]. The monkey ninjas are shorter and can avoid more attacks, but the female ninjas dodge around a lot more.
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: The Ninja is given a unique character design and fighting style instead of just being a [[Head Swap]] of Kunoichi. The enemy versions of Kunoichi also have a different design as well.
Line 52:
* [[Heal Thyself]]: Energy tanks pop up here and there, often in [[Crate Expectations|crates]].
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: All three player characters, as well as some [[Mooks]].
*
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Well, not ''immune'', but bullets do only superficial damage to the player characters.
* [[In Case of Boss Fight Break Glass]]: {{spoiler|You have to beat the [[Final Boss]] this way}}.
Line 67:
* [[Made of Iron]]: The player characters are capable of withstanding knives, bullets, explosives, [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]], [[Ki Attacks|Ninja magic spells]] and a variety of other nastiness. Some of it can be forgiven due to them being ''literally'' made of <s>iron</s> metal.
** Honorable mention goes to Silverman who, for being a more or less normal man, can take enough kunai-stabbing, scythe-blading, rocket-punching, arena-exploding punishment to drop the entirety of a neighborhood gang (and then some). While possibly beating up robots with a ''[[Badass Normal|cane]]''.
* [[Ninja]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Duh.]] This game has Ninjas coming out of its ears. One character is even [[Lampshade Hanging|called Ninja,]] Kunoichi ''means'' female ninja and she looks and moves more the part, and Kamaitachi when written in a certain way means "sickle weasel", hence his wicked arm blades. His appearance is more [[Killer Robot]], but he definitely moves like a Ninja. You fight a few of them too.▼
* [[The Napoleon]]: Banglar is pretty short.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: The player characters make up the "Ninja" and "Robot" part of the equation.
* [[Rubber Man]]: Zelos is this.
Line 82:
* [[Timed Mission]]: Evey mission is timed, with a counter at the bottom counting down.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The regular mooks, who walk into hazardous stuff like spinning fans, explosions, helicopter support gunfire and {{spoiler|Bangler's laser walls}}.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Used by the monkey-like ninjas.▼
* [[The Voiceless]]: Nobody really talks in this game beyond grunts of pain. The player robots may actually be [[The Speechless]], but there's no way to tell for sure.
▲* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Used by the monkey-like ninjas.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: When Gigants, Phobos and Deimos are defeated, they get back up... and their head blows up.
