History VideoGame / JoyMechFight

* AerithAndBob: There's robots with one-word noun names (like Flame and Tiger) or Japanese names (like Sukapon). And then there's Zak and John.

* ButtMonkey: Neo. Dr. Walnach dismisses it as "average at best" (and its MovesetClone Nay doesn't fare much better there; Walnach has to have the computer tell him Nay "ranks as above average"), and Dr. Eamon has to turn to his computer to find anything positive to say about it.

** Plenty. We have Zak and Superzak; Giant and Gaean; Neo and Nay; Senju and Ashura; Sasuku and Hanzor; Flame and Blaze; Tiger and Leo; Eye and Wai; and Sukapon and Skapokon.

* RollingAttack: Sukapon's Sukapon Roll.

** [[spoiler:Beating it again on Special will add the four boss bots Dachon, Ra, Garborg, and [[FinalBoss Ho-Oh]] to the playable roster.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: As no official English version exists, articles covering the game tend to differ on how some of the names should be translated (the FinalBoss's name could be translated as Houou, Hou-ou, Ho-oh, Hoo-oo, Feng Huang, or even simply Phoenix). For consistency's sake, this article will use the FanTranslation's names.

The plot of the game tells of Dr. Little Emon, who created robots with the help of his best friend, Dr. Ivan Walnut. One day Dr. Emon finds the laboratory destroyed and the seven robots that were being worked on are nowhere to be seen. Turns out Dr. Walnut is behind it all, intent on conquering the world. Betrayed, Dr. Emon calls his eighth robot, the comedian Sukapon, to be reprogrammed into a battle robot to put an end to Dr. Walnut's plans.

* AstralFinale: The final battle against Houou is set on the surface of the moon, with Dr. Walnut watching.

* ButtMonkey: Neo. Dr. Walnut dismisses it as "average at best" (and its MovesetClone Nay doesn't fare much better there; Walnut has to have the computer tell him Nay "ranks as above average"), and Dr. Emon has to turn to his computer to find anything positive to say about it.

* DeathThrows: After a robot loses all its health, its entire body explodes and falls apart. In Stage 1 of War, defeating an enemy robot leads to its head being knocked aside, allowing Dr. Emon to reprogram it.

* EdibleThemeNaming: Dr. L. Emon and Dr. Walnut.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: The first seven robots have been given more menacing bodies under the command of Dr. Walnut, but after being rescued and reprogramed back to normal, they change back to their normal designs. [[spoiler:Dr. Walnut also gets one when he becomes evil, and reverts back once he regains consciousness in the ending.]]

* {{Expy}}: Dr. Emon and Dr. Walnut are expies of [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Light and Dr. Wily]].
* FaceHeelTurn: Dr. Walnut. [[spoiler:In the end he loses his memories and is convinced by Dr. Emon that everything was a "bad dream".]]
* FeatheredFiend: Dachon, who is modeled after an ostrich, is the first robot made by Dr. Walnut encountered after the seven stolen robots are all recovered.

* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Sukapon is implicitly this, after the game explains that he's a "comedy robot" who was undergoing training in Kansai. Dr. Walnut mocks Sukapon during the prologue as well.

** Subverted with Ra and Ghoston. Dr. Walnut claims that Ghoston is Ra rebuilt from the dead, but they have zero attacks in common and share little other than their core being floating torsos and heads.

* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: {{Justified|Trope}} in Sukapon's case. It was built to be a comedian, but was given upgrades to be a warrior because it was the only robot Dr. Emon had ''left.'' It went back to its original purpose after the game's events.

* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:Subverted at the end. Ivan ''tries'', but runs out of gas, leading to his saucer exploding, resulting in Dr. Emon picking up his unconscious body from the Moon's surface and returning back to Earth, where Dr. Walnut reverts from his villainous facade.]]

!Tropes featured in this game:
* AerithAndBob: There's robots with one-word noun names (like Flame and Tiger) or Japanese names (like Sukapon.) And then there's Zak and John.

''Joy Mech Fight'' is a FightingGame that Nintendo developed for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Famicom]], released in 1993. It had {{No Export|ForYou}} outside Japan until it was re-released worldwide on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Online service in September 2023. It pushes the limitations of the 8-bit console by making all the characters have [[FloatingLimbs their body parts float separately]], which makes for smooth animations with low memory costs. Surprisingly for a Famicom FightingGame, the controls work well, and there are even full in-depth tutorials on each character's moveset.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The Moveset Clones are intentionally made to be superior to their original counterparts, with greater power and more useful special moves.

* AstralFinale: The final battle against Houou is on the surface of the moon, with Dr. Walnut watching.

* DecoyProtagonist: In a way, Flame. He's in the first character slot on the CSS, yet the main protagonist role goes to Sukapon, who's in the very last slot instead.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: The first seven robots have been given evil looks, but after being rescued they change back to their nicer designs. [[spoiler:Dr. Walnut also gets one when he becomes evil, and reverts back once he regains consciousness in the ending.]]

** Most blatant in the final wave of robots, who are just {{Palette Swap}}s of the original 8, except better in almost every way.

* NoPronunciationGuide: The "U" in Sukapon's name is silent, which is why the FanTranslation uses "Skapon".
