Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Anticlimax Boss: Twice in Arena: Hadron in the sense that he is just a sooped up normal Robo, in contrast to the earlier fight with Amun (a mere gatekeeper) who is a Hover Tank with insane defense (The boss is difficult, but doesn't really differ from a standard fight). A completely intentional example is Eddy at the Robocup, as you have been shown to be superior to him alreddy in the events leading up to his fight, and is just a standard fight, no illegal parts or anything.
Game Breaker: Equip the Ray Sky with the Acrobat Pod and Plus One Legs. Use a gun with strong homing and appropriate range for the stage (Thunderbolt, Glider, Homing Star) and a bomb with appropriately large spread or blast (Burrow D, Submarine D, Volcano). Now go to the Dungeon Arena or any level of the Arcade mode and see if anyone can touch you.[1]
Teleport Spam + close range weapon + Teleport Spam away after they enter Mercy Invincibility is pretty damn hard for most AI foes to counter in-game.
Many of the illegal parts can edge on this. Wyrm and Crystal strike stand out.Wyrm is basically a quadruple dragon gun that almost guarantees a downed opponent and the crystal strike renders an opponent completely helpless once it hits. The crystal strike knocks opponents skywards and has no firing lag, allowing you to hit the enemy almost endlessly. If it weren't for the point penalties in the second story mode, the game would be utterly snapped in two.
The sniper rifle in Battle Revolution fires very fast projectiles with a huge amount of stopping power, but leave you immobile for a short while after you fire it. The solution? Put it on a Lightning Sky robo and air dash. Now you can move and fire at the same time.
Recycled Script: Arena's plot and and overworld graphics are recycled from a canceled GBA Custom Robo game, hence their primitiveness.
That One Boss: Arena has The two Jamesons, Kindjal and Data Hadron.
The Gamecube version has Rahu.
↑Use the Ray Sky's charge to launch it into the air, use the Acrobat Pod twice in succession to launch it even higher, and then, using the two air dashes to stay up there, pepper the arena with bombs and gunfire. At the end of the second dash, use the Acrobat again to down yourself, drastically reducing damage and activating Mercy Invincibility. Wash, rinse, repeat.
