Line 8:
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: The corridors are peppered with notes from a deceased native of the place that tells you how to unlock some of the trickier doors.
* [[Artificial Human]]: The Guardian herself.
* [[Boss Room]]: When you walk into a room and hear a warning klaxon and see [[Ghost Butler|indestructible pyramids closing around you]], be prepared to fight!▼
** Or not. The pyramids close slowly enough that you can run out before the boss appears if you're quick!▼
* [[Beam Spam]]: Many of the corridor areas have enemies that shoot a hail of lasers (especially at the end, when the [[Demonic Spiders|laser-shooting ships have DEADLY beams]]). Also Eyegore, a [[Extra Eyes|multi-eyed]] skull boss loves this trope too.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: For example, in the manual, "The Guardian is a sophisticated aerobot transformer".

▲** Or not. The pyramids close slowly enough that you can run out before the boss appears if you're quick!
* [[Boss Rush]]: "Corridor 21", and "TGL mode", which puts you through only the flying stages.
* [[Breast Plate]]: Perhaps justified, as the Guardian's main defense is a personal nigh-invisible [[Deflector Shields|force field]].
Line 22:
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: The goal of the game is to prevent this from happening.
** ... by making it happen to ''someone else''.
* [[Every Ten Thousand Points]]: The game rewards high scores by increasing you health meter every 30000 points. At the same time, the game will '''crash''' if you reach the score's [[Cap]].▼
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Guardian's name is never revealed in the game or the English instruction manual. According to the [[Canon Name|original Japanese manual]], she is called "Miria" (full name: "Strongest Warrior System D.P., pet name Miria"). [[Fanon]] refers to the Guardian as "Alyssa".
▲* [[Every Ten Thousand Points]]: The game rewards high scores by increasing you health meter every 30000 points. At the same time, the game will '''crash''' if you reach the score's [[Cap]].
* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Zibzub, a red squid boss.
* [[Evolving Attack]]: Both your main gun and your special weapons.
* [[Explosive Breeder]]: One of the enemies in the labyrinth areas is a [[Demonic Spider|blue spider]] that if left unkilled, turns orange, then red, then it splits into seven identical copies of itself. These individual copies can split even more, making things a little... complicated.▼
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The [[Smart Bomb|Enemy Eraser]].

* [[Extra Eyes]]: [[Eye Scream|Grim]][[That One Boss|grin]]. Eyegore too, but he ain't nearly half as tough as Grimgrin...
* [[Eye Beams]]: [[That One Boss|Optomon]] likes this one a lot.
Line 38:
* [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]] - Those indestructible pyramids blocking your passage, until you gain enough speed upgrades to outrun the miniboss room ones.
* [[Invincible Minor Minion]]: Mostly averted. While a few of the enemies seem nigh-impossible to defeat, they usually just have a ton of [[Hit Points]]. Of course, the [[Smart Bomb|Enemy Eraser]] decimates them with ease.
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: The game is extremely lenient when it comes to what parts of your sprite take damage, and what parts of enemy sprites give damage (especially the bosses). The fact that the game is still [[Nintendo Hard]] in spite of this says something.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: The Fireball weapon. [[Infinity+1 Sword|Especially at max level, when it can cause massive damage AND destroy enemy attacks]].
