''[[Super Robot Wars L]]'' is the third entry in the ever-so popular ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series on the [[Nintendo DS]], preceded by ''[[Super Robot Wars W]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars K]]''. It was released on November 25, 2010. According to [[Word of God]], the "L" stands for "Link".

* ''[[Godannar|Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]''

** ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Shinkon Gattai Godannar: Second Season]]''

5Five years ago, humanity waged a long war with the [[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Mimetic Beasts]] and although victory was achieved, tensions mounted following a [[Gundam Seed|terrorist incident that destroyed a space colony 3three years earlier]]. 2Two years before L's story, humans on Earth and space colonists waged a deadly one-year war that lead to the Earth nations winning, but left their countries severely weakened from the fallout. Seeing a chance, [[Mazinkaiser|Dr. Hell's Mechanical Beast army]] attacks, leading to an uneasy Earth/space colony truce to fight against them. With Dr. Hell and his [[Mazinkaiser|Mycene]] allies defeated, peace returns to the Earth. Soon afterward, Darius mounts their full-scale assault and the seal preventing the Jama Kingdom from returning is broken. Now, visitors from beyond the Earth Sphere come into contact with humanity and a new battle begins.

* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: [[Iczer|Big Gold]] and [[Dancougar Nova|Moon Will]]. So, it comes as no suprise that they [[Villain Team -Up|join forces]] to [[Kill All Humans]].

* [[Dual -Wielding]] - Straybird's Pheasant Cutter, in addition to many other units: Shoulder Slicers, Iczer-3 and Atros' twin light sabers, Linebarrel's two swords, [[Linebarrels of Iron|Verdant's]] quad wield, Tsubaki-Hime's dual wielding chainsaws

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - [[Rebuild of Evangelion|The Angels]], [[Iczer|Big Gold and Neos Gold]], [[Dancougar Nova|Moon Will's Original Dancouga]], [[Gaiking|Proist's King Darius the 18th]], [[Kotetsu Jeeg|Susanoh]], [[Linebarrels of Iron|Central]], {{spoiler|[[Macross Frontier|Grace O'Connor as the Vajra Queen]]}} and {{spoiler|[[Original Generation|Lude Gloria's Galtdeus]]}}.

** The changes made to SEED Destiny in this game are quite unusual for Super Robot Wars. Most of the time the changes they make are limited to [[Karma Houdini|killing characters who should have been killed in canon]], [[Spared Byby the Adaptation|saving characters the audience likes]], [[Adaptation Distillation|condensing stories so that they all fit in the game]], and [[Character Development|making reasonable changes to the characters through interaction with characters from other series]]. They went far beyond that with Gundam SEED Destiny in L. Essentially, they rewrote the entire second half of the plot.

* [[Glass Cannon]] - Surprisingly enough, [[Mazinkaiser|Boss Borot]] is this rather than a ([[Lethal Joke Character|Lethal]]) [[Joke Character]]. Also, the [[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|G Gunner and Core Gunner]]

* [[Heroic BSOD]] - [[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Go]] gets hit with a mild one, but still maintains an active presence on the team as a pilot instructor and representative for LOTUS (the name of the heroes in this game), particularly during {{spoiler|Operation Angel Down}}.

** The way they handle [[Rebuild of Evangelion]], using only part of its plot, is exactly how they did in [[Super Robot Wars F4]].

* [[Only Six Faces]] - Character portraits of the Linebarrel and SEED Destiny characters. It isn't as bad as comparing [[Fafner in Thethe Azure Dead Aggressor (Anime)|Fafner]] and Destiny in ''K'', but still fit this trope

* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Duel]]/[[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]] - The Rushbird's most unique feature is absorbing the energy from beam attacks and the like, while getting a small EN boost in the process. In some cases, such as fighting the Angels, a viable tactic is to let the Rushbird attack and keep it busy while everyone else clears the map.

* [[Super -Powered Robot Meter Maids]] - AL-3 Alice, who was originally intented to simply clean and maintain the house...until she reveals she can {{spoiler|channel trans-dimensional energies to unlock Rushbird's strongest attack}}

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]] - [[Dancougar Nova|Aoi]]'s reaction to {{spoiler|[[Iczer Neos]] [[Complete Monster|Gold]] [[Moral Event Horizon|killing]] [[Jerkass Woobie|Atross]].}}

* [["Wake -Up Call" Boss]]: [[Rebuild of Evangelion|Sachiel]], encountered in Scenario 11, is a noticeable cut above the boss units fought before that point. Powerful attacks it can spam easily, high HP and EN regeneration, and of course, the AT Field that will outright negate most of your attacks. To make matters worse, it'll also snipe away at your units as they fight the weaker enemies to build up morale, and there's really not much you can do about it until you've built up enough momentum to kill it.
