Added DiffLines:

* AlienBlood: The [[PunnyName Ranx of O-Dor]] bleed green.
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Non-final boss example in [[FreeFallFight "Manga Space"]], where the player fights some of the tougher mooks. The final boss against O-Dor arguably takes place in one, but is on the whole a more [[AsteroidThicket grounded example]].
* AmbiguousRobots: Ranx again. They seem to be grown in vats, and bleed green, but they also seem to be made of metal, and their advanced variants explode when killed.
* BadButt: Ninja is a downplayed example. While he slices and dices more than his fair share of baddies, his trash talk and general mannerisms are basically that of a (Hollywood-friendly) 12-13 year old kid.

* NintendoHard: Ninja can't take much damage, health refills are quite rare, and the game isn't afraid to delve into some PlatformHell. Even worse if you go for the optional Grade missions, which amp up to the point of being hair-tearingly HarderThanHard.

I-Ninja is a quirky action video game made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, UsefulNotes/XBox, UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and PC. In it, our hero [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin (named]] [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Ninja)]] is exposed to a gem named a Rage Stone and accidentally kills his Sensei in a fit of rage. He then goes off in search of the other Rage Stones, fighting and commanding giant robots along the way, meeting mermaids, mystics and eventually going off to the moon in search of these artifacts.
