Line 5:
* '''Justified''': The enemies are all Panzers and you're a talking dog. And the Panzers [[Did Not Do the Research|forgot they had a machine gun]].
* '''Inverted''': You take 30 hits to kill, but the bosses are [[Rush Boss|extremely fast and die in one hit]].
* '''Subverted''': The first thing you pick up in level one is [[Power -Up|an item]] that gives you an extra hit point. This is the only time you will get one, and it doesn't respawn.
** You get said powerup, then [[Kaizo Mario World|have to take a hit all of 2 seconds later]].
** Your [[Voice With an Internet Connection]] tells you that the enemies are made of anti-matter and will kill you in one hit, but you find a pair of boots that give you an extra hit..
* '''Double Subverted''': ...but it turns out that "extra hit" refers to hitting the enemy an extra time right before you die, so you have to pump the enemy full of lead until ''it's'' a [[One -Hit -Point Wonder]].
** Though you don't die in one hit, one hit still causes you to fail instantly.
* '''Untwisted''': Your [[Voice With an Internet Connection]] mentions that the tanks will shoot you with machine guns instead of missiles. A health bar appears. You get shot in the foot and die.
Line 16:
* '''Zig Zagged''': Then your amazing team of puppies [[Disappointing Last Level|meet]] the [[Demonic Spider|anti-matter tanks]] and [[Goddamned Bats|highly agile, highly glass-like bosses]].
* '''Averted''': You have a health meter.
** The first to third thing you pick up is [[Power -Up|an item]] that gives you an extra hit point, and the game passes it around like candy.
* '''Enforced''': [[Konami]] [[Bad Export for You|of America removed]] [[Contra|the health meter]].
* '''Necessary Weasel/Coconut Effect''': A developer decides to give your [[Shoot 'Em Up|space ship]] hit points, until he realizes he'd be in a minority and decides against it.
** A developer wants to go back to the time when video games were [[Nintendo Hard]]...
* '''Lampshaded''': "If only I wasn't [[Made of Explodium]] [[SpongeBob|glass bones and paper skin]]..."
Line 29:
* '''Played For Drama''': ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' turns into a Nintendo Hard platformer. Your characters are your lives. Good luck with that.
