Line 13:
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: The reactors that serve as the episode "bosses" don't really do much except sit there and let you kill them while Xargbots spawn nearby to attack you (and in the first episode it's really easy to stand in a position where your boulders pass through the spawn point on the way to the reactor). Xargon himself isn't much tougher.
* [[Cool Boat]]: In some [[Under the Sea|water levels,]] Malvineous can pilot a bathysphere-like submarine that can shoot lasers in two directions.
* [[Denial of Diagonal Attack]]: your default weapon only shoots straight ahead. The boulder "power up" shoots diagonally upwards, and has problems hitting enemies straight in front of you.

* [[One Hit Wonder]]: [[Averted Trope|averted,]] Malvineous can take a [[Made of Iron|whopping five hits]] before he goes down.
* [[Power
* [[
* [[Sorcerous Overlord]]: Xargon.
* [[Spikes of Doom]]: These are pretty common too.
