See the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, which has a similar premise (various game consoles are shown as anthropomorphic persons), enough that it had a {{Crossover}} with the ''Sega Hard Girls''. A separate character list for all of the Sega Hard Girls can be found [[Characters/SegaHardGirls here]].

* BigDamnHeroes: Dr. Eggman drops in on episode six, trapping our heroines in the video game ''VideoGame/BorderBreak'' and shrinking them to chibi size. Before the mad doctor can do anything, VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog himself drops in to save the day.

** VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog and Dr. Eggman have a starring role in the ''VideoGame/BorderBreak'' lesson.

* CoversAlwaysLie: See [[VideoGame/FantasyZone Opa-Opa]] and the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Chao]] in the picture above? Although they're seen in the intro, they only appear as cosmetic decorations in Sehagaga Academy and not as actual characters.

** One episode features the girls going into ''Chain Chronicle''. The UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita version of ''Chain Chronicle V'' later ran a brief Sega Hard Girls campaign, and some of the girls[[note]]Dreamcast, Saturn, Mega Drive, Robo Pitcher and Game Gear[[/note]] were available to use [[TemporaryOnlineContent for a limited time]].

* [[HeroicMime Heroic]]/[[SilentAntagonist Villainous Mime]]: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic and Dr. Eggman]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After the first wave of Morolians, ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'''s [[HitPoints View Ratings]] start dropping for no apparent reason. When the Hard Girls [[BreakingTheFourthWall glance up at the headline above their heads,]] they find out that it's because another channel is playing a Japan vs. Brazil World Cup match, and Japan is winning.

** Happens to Saturn twice in the bonus episode. First when she's on the receiving end of Akira's Tetsuzanko, and again when Gilius sends her flying on his axe, helping her catch up with the others during the final race.

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: When a giant Morolian shows up as the FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5'', [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Jeffry]] suddenly becomes [[UpToEleven mega-gigantic]] to crush it. [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Gilius]] tries it too, but [[{{BFS}} it only makes his axe mega-gigantic.]]

* PantyShot: [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Gilius]] gets a good view of [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Ulala's]] when the wind Saturn summons to banish the Morolians flips Ulala's skirt up.

* TalkToTheFist: In the ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' ''x'' ''[[Franchise/ShiningSeries Shining Force Cross Exlesia]]'' episode, Dreamcast tries to tame a gigantic dragon boss with a dance. Said dragon promptly tail whips her into outer space.

** In-universe, they cross ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' with ''[[Franchise/ShiningSeries Shining Force Cross Exlesia]]'' by wearing Rappy Suits in the latter in order to cover both games at once. Amusingly, [[{{Defictionalization}} a crossover with these series already exists]], but with the latter's costumes in the former. They even use the promotional image for said real crossover during Center-sensei's ExpositionBreak.

* OneHitKill: The Dreamcast controller Dreamcast wears on her head is apparently so TonkaTough, it will instantly knock out anything that touches it, be it [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Akira Yuki]], [[VideoGame/AlexKidd Alex Kidd]], or even an energy core!
