* MechaMooks: The German version, ''Space Invasion'', replaces all the human enemies with robotic drones that target Super Joe on sight.



* OneManArmy: Even if you don't succeed, you'll have killed most of the Russian/unnamed African nation's army.

* BulletHell: Sometimes. Having enemies fire steady streams of bullets on you can't be easy to avoid.



* MooksButNoBosses: In the first game, each section ends with a red uniformed general ordering his soldiers to attack, but he goes down in one shot just like all of the others. The second game, Mercs, adds some formal boss battles, though.
