A side-scrolling [[Shoot'Em Up]] released for the arcades in 1991, '''''Sunset Riders''''' is one of several four-player arcade games that [[Konami]] released in the wake of their success with ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game]]''. The game centers around four [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]] (Steve, Bob, Billy, and Cormano) who must hunt down various fugitives during the [[Wild West]] to collect monetary rewards. Essentially a [[Recycled in Space|Wild West-themed]] version of ''[[Contra]]'', as its director Hideyuki Tsujimoto worked on both arcade ''Contra'' games.
''Sunset Riders'' was ported to both the [[Sega Genesis]] and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]
{{tropelist}}
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: Even after you beat the game, if you still have credits left, you'll be taken straight back to the first stage, no "Press Start" prompt.
* [[Arrows on Fire]]: Used by some of the enemy Amerindians.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Step on a rake and see what happens.
** Also when you walk into a plastic arrow planted on the floor. Yup. That's in the Amerindian stage.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: With a powerup. Two of them [[Up to Eleven|even Dual Wield SHOTGUNS]]. Well, [[Sawed-Off Shotgun|Sawed Off Shotguns]], but still.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: The whole team.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Steve, Billy, Bob, the dynamite-throwing female mooks and Sir Richard Rose.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: El Greco has "Adios, amigo!" as both his entry and death phrases in the SNES version.
** El Greco's entry phrase in the Arcade version was "Die, gringo!" which was [[Bowdlerise|censored out]] by Nintendo as it was considered inappropriate.
* [[It Was a Gift]]: In the arcade version, El Greco gives his [[Nice Hat|red sombrero]] to Cormano upon defeat. Cormano wears this hat for the rest of the game. With the other characters though, he'll just throw it away.
* [[Just Following Orders]]: Chief Scalpem's sister saves his ass with these words, as opposed to all the rest of Richard Rose's thugs who were also "just following orders"
▲* [[Just Following Orders]]: Chief Scalpem's sister saves his ass with these words, as opposed to all the rest of Richard Rose's thugs who were also "just following orders", I guess. Which brings us to...
* [[Kaizo Trap]]: When Paco Loco dies, he fires off a few last rounds from his gatling gun after he falls off his perch. You can avoid them by ducking.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Chief Scalpem, of course.
Line 52 ⟶ 47:
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]: Sir Richard Rose.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Chief Scalpem.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Despite the lighter overall look, this will kick the players' butt just as hard as ''Contra'' does.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Played straight mostly.
* [[One Name Only]]: The four main heroes. Averted in the Genesis version which only featured Billy and Cormano and gave them full names ("Billy Cool" and "Cormano Wild").
* [[Quick Draw]]: The 2nd boss, Hank "Hawkeye" Hatfield. [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|In theory, atleast]].
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Sir Richard Rose has quite the modals for the [[Big Bad]]. Noted specially in his intro:
