Featured series (with debuts in '''bold'''):

* ''[[Virtual On|Cyber Troopers Virtual On: MARZ]]''

* ''[[Dangaioh]]''

* '''''[[Gaiking|Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu]]'''''

* '''''[[Gun X Sword]]'''''

** ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny|Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]]''

* ''[[Overman King Gainer]]''

* '''''[[Zoids|Zoids: Genesis]]'''''

 

* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]] (One of the game's secrets involves saving {{spoiler|[[Gundam Seed Destiny|Stellar Loussier]]}} from her fated death. At the end of the series proper, [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Shinn Asuka and Lunamaria Hawke]] is the canon pairing. Awkward...)

* [[Awesome but Impractical]] (Gaiking the Great is a beast in combat but its attacks drain ''almost'' too much energy to be worth it, not to mention you have to combine three [[Super Robot|Super Robots]] that are perfectly good on their own to form it)

** [[Awesome Yet Practical]] once you learn that you can attack with Raiking and Vuking BEFORE combining them into The Great, who then unleashes one of it's insanely powerful attacks on the opponent. And, right after that, you can use one of your energy-replendishing units to completely fill The Great's energy tank and, thanks to the way combining units work in this game, you also replendish Rai's and Vul's energy tanks, allowing you to separate the Great and do it all over again.

* [[Combining Mecha]] (Dangaioh, [[Godannar]], [[Gaiking|Gaiking The Great]], [[Original Generation|Solvrias Regina and Solvrias Rex]])

* [[Demoted to Extra]] (Many characters from [[Godannar]] only appear in intermission scenes; their respective mecha don't even appear at all)

** Let's not forget [[Overman King Gainer|the Overdevil]], [[Zoids|Emperor Jiin's Bio Tyrano]], [[Gaiking|Proist's King Darius the 18th]], [[Gun X Sword|Birthday]], [[Kotetsu Jeeg|Susanoh]], [[Virtual On|Tangram]] and the [[Big Bad]].

* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] ({{spoiler|Lu Cobol destroyed two worlds before ending up in the current one}})]

* [[Fastball Special]] (Take [[Gun X Sword|El Dora Soul]], a dyed-in-the-wool [[Super Robot Genre|Super Robot]], toss in (literally) the [[Gun X Sword|Dann of Thursday]], which can [[Transforming Mecha|turn into an enormous sword mid-air]], and this is what you get)

* [[Fix Fic]] (While limited for combat unlockables, some NPCs can be saved, such as [[Fafner in The Azure Dead Aggressor|Tsubaki]], where she returns with Kazuki and company to continue as [[Mission Control]], since Soushi's [[The Virus|infection]] prevents him from doing so after defeating the Festum, and [[Godannar|Moukaku]]. Other unlockable cast members series will not be so fortunate if you did not meet requirements. [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Meer Campbell]] becomes captain of the Minerva and is allowed to officially become [[Ascended Fanboy|Lacus Clyne's figurehead]] by Lacus herself)

** In the final Jeeg level, {{spoiler|when [[Kotetsu Jeeg|Kenji Mitsurugi]] goes berserk over Tsubaki and Kyou's supposed death, [[Fafner in The Azure Dead Aggressor|Kanon Memphis]] is one of the heroes who tries to calm him down. Her character portrait will ''always'' be the one where she pilots the Mark Drei, even if you get the Fafner secrets and you don't have Kanon in the Mark Drei}}

* [[Glass Cannon]] (The ''[[Godannar]]'' machines hurt like ''hell'' when they get up to speed. Unfortunately, they're very easy to hit and have ridiculously thin armor. The ''SEED Destiny'' Gundams, King Gainer and the Jeegs are similarly not as robust, but hit like trucks)

* [[Guide Dang It]] (As usual for an SRW, knowledge of the component series is critical to getting secrets. Destroying the [[Gun X Sword|Diablo of Monday]] with the Dann, for example, is self-explanatory...if you've seen ''[[Gun X Sword]]'')

** Even then, [[Gun X Sword]] throws one of the weirdest curveballs ever with its secret: {{spoiler|To recruit Michael and Fasalina, you have to use Van to kill all of the boss characters from said series and then kill The Claw before taking down the aforementioned secret pilots. Except, you have to make Priscilla have a battle encounter with Carossa to complete the process on the stage where you kill Woo. Why? The only possible connection comes from a single line of dialogue from the original series where Priscilla express grief over Carossa and Melissa's deaths. That's it. You have no heads-up about this part and it is easy to miss without a guide to help.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] ({{spoiler|Soushi essentially sacrifices himself to defeat Ru Cobol}})

* [[Karmic Death]] (Gil Berg from ''Dangaioh'' finally gets it, after being a [[Karma Houdini]] in the series proper)

* [[Mighty Glacier]] (The El Dora Soul can turn into this if properly upgraded)

* [[Mythology Gag]] ([[Gundam Seed Destiny|Rey's]] DRAGOON attack features him striking a pose similar to [[Gundam Seed|Rau's]] from [[Super Robot Wars Judgment]] and [[Super Robot Wars W]].

* [[Not So Different]] ([[Overman King Gainer|Cynthia Lane]] tells {{spoiler|[[Gaiking|Proist]]}} she used to be like {{spoiler|her}} as a pre-battle dialogue)

* [[Number of the Beast]] (Interestingly, the Edax machine that either {{spoiler|Sheldia's sister or Angelica's father}} will pilot is exactly 66.6 meters tall. Once the pilot is free, {{spoiler|the robot becomes sentient}})

* [[Original Generation]] (Mist Rex, Angelica Shaltir, Sheldia Rouge, Lu Cobol and the Edax)

* [[Petting Zoo People]] ([[Elite Mook]] Verinee and her troops all pilot [[Big Badass Wolf|wolf-like mecha]])

** One of the battle map themes is a shameless ripoff of "For The Savior" from [[Lufia]] II, just with some reverb and a mildly tweaked tempo

** It got so bad that Banpresto and Bandai Namco openly apologized for the plagiarism to their fans.

** [[Mazinger Z]] also has completed by the time K starts.

* [[Power Gives You Wings]] ([[Gundam Seed Destiny|Destiny Gundam]] and [[Gun X Sword|Saudade of Sunday]], for its stronger attacks)

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] (Gazin, Velanee and Ispeil)

** [[Gundam Seed|Sven, Shams and Mudie]] in the first half of the game.

** {{spoiler|Bio-Ptera/Felme from ''[[Zoids|Zoids Genesis]]''}}

** {{spoiler|Saudade of Sunday/Michael Garret and the Dahlia of Wednesday/Fasalina from ''[[Gun X Sword]]''}}

* [[Something We Forgot]]: Despite being on the game's cover art, Gaiking's axe never appears in the game.

** Not exactly: the music was also used for {{spoiler|Proist}}

'''Mist''': It IS... and yes, it DOES! }}

* [[Space Is Noisy]] ([[Zoids|RainbowJerk]]'s Paracries causes [[Brown Note|a horrible sound, unbearable to those who hear it]]. While it can't be used against targets inside water, it can be used just fine in space. It doesn't even has a damage penalty. Huh...)

** Most likely because, despite call ''Paracries'' in game and anime, the attack is actually jamming ''beam'' (call ''Rainbow Beam'' in model kits).

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] - Regret Buster, not only does Solvlius Rex punch the shit out of the enemy, it launches it into space, fires a beam at it, rides inside the beam, tears a hole inside the enemy (Most likely to the atomic level or another dimension based on the structure) and destroys it from the inside out.

* [[The Virus]] (Insania Virus from ''[[Godannar]]'')

** Story-wise, the fact that Kouji Tetsuya can be sortied in scenarios and not be infected with the virus, ''despite'' being {{spoiler|injured and benched for a good amount of Godannar's plot}}, raises questions. Likewise, despite the Insania Virus {{spoiler|specifically targetting [[Hot Blood|hotblooded]] male pilots}}, no other pilots in the playable roster are seemingly affected by it. Hopefully, Banpresto sorts this problem out the next time Godannar reappears

* [[Transforming Mecha]] (Murasame Liger and Solvrias Rex/Regina, to name a few)
