A fast-paced [[Mecha Game]] by Sega. Most of the [[Humongous Mecha]] designs are by Hajime Katoki, one of the more famous mecha designers for many ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' series'.

{{franchisetropes}}
* [[The Ace
* [[Ace Custom]]: A
* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: DYMON in ''MARZ''.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: One stage in ''Oratorio Tangram''. Cutscenes show your mech being launched from one periodically in ''MARZ''.
* [[Air Jousting]]: Viper II's [[Limit Break]].
* [[All There in the Manual]]: While the series has never had much of the plot explained in the Western world, there is a significant amount of material [[No Export for You|released in Japan,]] such as the side-story novel ''One Man Rescue'' written by Watari himself, multiple audio dramas, a manga released at the time of ''Operation Moongate'', and [[Bad Export for You|an entire library of story information in the Japanese version of ''MARZ'' which was taken out of the American release of the game]].
* [[Anatomy Arsenal]]: Each mech has at least one.
* [[An Ice Person]]: All of Angelan's attacks are ice-based.
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Everyone has these. If attack is fatal, followed by [[Victory Pose]].
* [[Attack Drone]]: The Bal series. Deconstructed in a way; the series require a lot of manipulation and, because of this, are ''really'' hard for most people to use and demonstrates exactly how complicated [[Attack Drone|Attack Drones]] can be (for a human; the computer, on the other hand...).
** Bal-Bas-Bow's funnels/arms cannot be controlled by the player, making him really vulnerable to enemy attacks once they're deployed and shooting the wrong side of the arena.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]
* [[Beam-O-War]]
* [[Beam Spam]]
* [[BFG]]
** In ''Operation Moongate'', [[Final Boss|Z-Gradt]] has one. It has a barrel diameter that is about the size of Raiden.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Bonus Boss]]: The original Fei-Yen from the PlayStation 2 version of ''Operation Moorgate'', if you can get to the final stage in under nine minutes.
* [[The Brute]]: The SHBVD Raidens in ''MARZ''.
* [[Catgirl]]: Fei-Yen the Tiger in ''Oratorio Tangram;;. Although her ears are actually heart-shaped, she has tiger stripes and a tail.
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Vox Jane.
* [[Chest Blaster]]: Most Virtua-Roids' center weapon.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Lilin Plajina, developer of LLN series was just little girl when she built Original Fei Yen.
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: It's been noted that while the [[Attack Drone|Bal]] series mechs are generally very difficult to play with for players, the computer always seems to know how to abuse them ''just'' right.
* [[Computer Voice]]: The announcer throughout the series.
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[The Hero]] Temjin.
* [[Cosplay]]: Fei-yen, which has had several different outfits over the games and even more outside of them. Some people go a step further, such as [https://web.archive.org/web/20100620061759/http://daitrombe.net/image/show/20680 this]. The Nanoha one is particularly fitting since it can be called "[[Stealth Pun|Fei-Yen with Raging Heart]]".
** And now an official [[Crossover]] with [[Vocaloid]]'s Miku Hatsune.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[Cycle of Hurting]]:
* [[Da Chief]]
* [[Death in All Directions]]
* [[Death Ray]]
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
* [[Dual Boss]]
* [[Dual Mode Unit]]
* [[Duel to the Death]]
* [[Dynamic Entry]]
* [[Energy Weapons]]
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Maybe. See [[All There in the Manual]] above.
* [[Expy]]: The Vox series in ''Force'' and ''MARZ'', which start by copying all the Heavy VRs of the previous games except for Raiden.
** Fei-Yen is often compared to [[Sailor Moon]]. Her heart motif is also identical to that of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Amy Rose]].
** The Angelens are compared to [[Ah! My Goddess|Belldandy]] and Guarayakha are usually compared to [[Cardcaptor Sakura]].
Line 67 ⟶ 64:
*** In some way, the White Knight resembles a Hi-Nu Gundam in its look.
*** Who are we kidding? Temjin is [[Super Robot Wars|R-1]], Raiden is [[Super Robot Wars|R-2]], and Fei-Yen is [[Super Robot Wars|R-3]]. Too bad virtuaroids can't combine.
** Raiden resembles [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Doms]], and has very likely inspired Tieria's Virtue and Seravee in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''.
** The Viper series are compared to the Variable Fighters in ''[[Macross]]'', and their [[Limit Break]] is a direct homage to Kamille's wave rider charge in ''[[Zeta Gundam]]''.
** Kagekiyo is strikingly similar to the Musha Gundam concept.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[FemBot]]
* [[Flash Step]]
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]
* [[Glass Cannon]]: The Belgdor, which possesses reliable firepower, long range homing missiles as a primary weapon, is one stiff breeze away from being blown off its feet and knocked down, leaving it vulnerable to even more damage.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: The infamous "GET READY!" message. There's also the endings of ''Oratorio Tangram'' and ''Force'', which give a little eulogy for your mech.
** Those are actually the mangled lyrics to the songs "Everyone Everywhere" and "Just For A Moment", respectively.
*** The mangled lyrics at the end of ''Force'' (ending with the phrase 'What more can be said?') originally came from the King Crimson song "Model Man".
** Sgt. Hatter loves using such phrases as "YES!" "COME ON!" and "CONGRATULATION!".
*** ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' adds "ROLLING STAAARRT~!" to his repitoire as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Daytona USA]]''.
*** "LET'S BURNING JUSTICE!!!"
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Specineff series.
** Of course, that also gives us [[Sinister Scythe]].
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Apharmd the Battler in ''Oratorio Tangram''. Of course, since it has tonfas built into it's arms, it also counts as [[Dual-Wielding]].
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Hatter.
* [[Interface Screw]]
* [[Jack of All Stats]]
* [[Joke Character]]
** From ''Oratorio Tangram'' 5.66, we have the 10/80 Special. It's basically a modified Temjin that plays like the original ''Operation Moongate'' version. The pros? It has much better control, and is faster than the original. The cons? It cannot airdash, lacks special moves except the Gliding Ram, and has much weaker attacks.
* [[Kikuko Inoue]]
* [[Killer Robot]]
* [[Lag Cancel]]
* [[Laser Blade]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
** Argurably, the Viper series can be considered as this, too.
* [[Limit Break]]
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
** He is also responsible for the creation of the Viper series, infamous for their [[Limit Break|SLC (She's Lost Control) charge]]. And Specineff series which has device feed on the pilot's negative emotions.
* [[Magical Girl]]
* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]]: Grys-Vok, Stein-Vok and the Vox series are all basically one mech (pretty much the Vox Lee mentioned above) with various weapon combinations mounted on its back and sides.
* [[Mega Corp]]: The DN Group and its descendants DNA and RNA.
* [[Meido]]: The later [[Robot Maid|Fei-Yen]] [[Robot Girl|models]], in ''Force''. Complete with [[Maid|plateau-weapon and proper clothing]].
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]
* [[No Fourth Wall]]
** Unfortunately, ''MARZ'' broke this essential part that made the series fun.
* [[No Name Given]]
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Have more health than Z-Gradt or Tangram when time's up? Congratulations, you've just let the planet-killing superweapon/reality-destroying supercomputer win.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Most Virtua-Roids can do this in close-combat mode if timed right. Jaguarandi can all the time.
* [[Paint It Black]]: After pulling his [[Face Heel Turn]], Sgt. Hatter has his Apharmd repainted from the ''MARZ'' standard blue/white coloring to a new dark blue/red one.
** Shadow Temjin.
* [[Panty Shot]]
** As of May 31st, 2011, immortalized [[Incredibly Lame Pun|in the flesh]] in Hasegawa's newest limited release model kit: the TF-12 B/C+ "Fei Yen with Blue Heart/Panic Heart+ [Fetish]". Yes, the 'fetish' is actually part of the kit's name... includes decals for the Flesh Refoe color scheme, parts for the various chest variants, the bigger ass of the G65-model, and Commander Model headwear, as shown in [[media:news2011040802_916.gif|this image]].
* [[Player and Protagonist Integration]]
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Three Rose Sisters in ''MARZ''.
* [[
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Several members of the Vox series can launch their melee weapon-equipped arms at enemies.
* [[Secret Level]]: If you take too much time beating the first five enemies in ''Operation Moongate'', you end up at [[Secret Character|Jaguarandi]].
* [[Shoulder Cannon]]
* [[Shows Damage]]: The Virtua-Roids will loose armour parts as they get more damage.
* [[Sky Surfing]]: Temjin's Gliding Ram attack.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The Gamecube game ''[[Gotcha Force]]'' is rather similar in terms of gameplay.
* [[Stab the Sky]]: Often after performing a Perfect kill.
* [[Super Mode]]: The Fei-Yen series' [[Limit Break]].
* [[Super Prototype]]: Original Fei Yen is much more powerful than her production model. Justified since she's sentient and eventually runaway from Lilin's lab.
* [[Super Robot]]: Truthfully, the game kind of blurs the line between Super and Real Robot. Some mecha, like Temjin and the Viper series, are very much like Real Robots, but then you have the ''Sailor Moon''-like Fei-Yen, and Angelan, which can summon giant Ice dragons and send them to attack you.
* [[Super Robot Wars]] ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha 3]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars K|K]]''.
* [[Sword and Gun]]: Temjin's M.P.B.L. is this combined into one.
* [[Sword Beam]]
* [[This Is a Drill]]
* [[Transforming Mecha]]:
** The Viper II from ''Operation Moongate'' has a [[Limit Break]] very similar to this. Furthermore, when it jumps, it extends its wings.
* [[Trigger Happy]]
* [[Unusual Ears]]
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]:
** The Raiden's iconic shoulder lasers, which were originally mounted on ''battlecruisers''. [[Captain Obvious|Get hit and much pain ensues]]. It almost [[One-Hit Kill|one-shots]] [[Fragile Speedster|Viper II]]. Of course, that's assuming you're firing the regular standing laser. The dashing and air varieties are significantly weaker.
** Temjim's right-turbo RW attack in ''Oratorio Tangram'' turns his M.P.B.L. into one.
** Z-Gradt's main cannon in the original game can take off at least half of your health.
** Mikoto Misaka's Voost Weapon in ''Index'', her signature Railgun attack. Appropriately, she pilots Raiden.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: The Continue-screen in ''Operation Moongate'' and ''Oratorio Tangram''. Except for Fei-Yen and Angelan, who get the [[Magical Girl]] [[Healing Factor|regeneration sequence]].
