{{Needs More Info}}
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Black Cat and [[Silver Sable]].
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Inverted in the case of the Lizard, who is a good guy here and keeps his human form's intelligence.
* [[Big Bad]]: Mysterio
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Every boss Spider-Man encountered except for Mysterio.
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[Blade]] wields a single handed machete-like sword.
* [[Deadly Dodging]]: One of the ways to take major health off Rhino in his boss battle.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Although Green Goblin, Scorpion, and Venom make it known that they're ''not'' Spider-Man's friends.
* [[Delicious Fruit Pies]]: Referenced by one of Spidey's quips.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Rhino, Sandman, and presumably Scorpion.
* [[Enemy Mine]]
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: One of Lizard's moves involves him whirling around in place, knocking all enemies away with his tail. Silver Sable also spins her bo-staff in combat.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Every boss except Sandman. Doc Ock and Mysterio especially.

** [[Smart Guy]]: Doc Ock and Lizard
** [[Big Guy]]: Scorpion, Rhino, and Sandman
** [[The Chick]]: Silver Sable and Black Cat
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Silver Sable and Scorpion both utilize lasers.
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: PHANTOM stands for Perpetual Holographic Avatar Nano-Tech Offensive Monsters. And then there is of course, SHIELD.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: This adaptation's version of the Lizard retains Dr. Conners' intelligence and personality.
* [[Lame Comeback]]: 
{{quote|'''Spidey:''' First Scorpion and now Rhino. Huh, they're really scraping the bottom of the ol' villain barrel, eh? Who's next... Hypno-Hustler?
'''Rhino:''' I'll hypno-hustle you!
'''Spidey:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Ooh, nice comeback]]! }}
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Compared to the movies.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In the first cutscene with Rhino, Spidey groans about having to face another of his old enemies, and wonders if the Hypno-Hustler (a lame one-shot villain in the comics) is next.
** And at the end {{spoiler|when Nick Fury gets all of the symbiote shards, he has the SHIELD scientists study them for use. He calls it "Project Carnage".}}
* [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie]]: The PHANTOMS, the main enemies throughout, are part robot and part symbiote alien. And some of them, depending on the place and type, are such combinations as robot-alien-samurai, robot-alien-mummy, and robot-alien-werewolf.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: [[Fred Tatasciore]] and Roger Jackson channel Thomas Haden Chruch and Willem Defoe in their respective roles as Sandman and Green Goblin.
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: In Versus Mode, when the combatants first face each other, they say a badass or snarky one-liner to prove their power.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Don't underestimate Iron Fist just because he wears yellow booties.
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: Once you beat the bosses and [[Defeat Means Friendship|they join you]], they become much weaker than when you had to face them.
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: The Goblins, Doc Ock, and Venom all died in the movies. In the game, they're alive and well.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: The New Goblin, who you only get after beating ''every level'' in the game. You don't even get to fight him and save him from [[Mind Control]], he's just suddenly... Saved.
