* AwesomeButImpractical: Jugem the Mega Drive version of ''Madou Monogatari I'' is guaranteed to get you a KO, but there's three stipulations regarding it. One, its command input is a difficult 450 degree rotation; two, its magic cost is quite steep; and lastly, its success rate is ''pitiful''. Sure, being able to pull it off results in immediate destruction, but you'll be better off slinging your basic Fire and Ice Storm spells rapidly within the same timeframe for more consistent results.

* DistantReactionShot: If Arle's lucky to get [[OneHitKill Jugem]] to successfully proc in the Mega Drive version of ''Madou Monogatari I'', then the game will show a short cutscene of a massive explosive beam shooting into the sky or out from the tower.

''Madou Monogatari'' is a RolePlayingGame series originally created by Creator/{{Compile}}. First appearing on the UsefulNotes/{{MSX}}, most entries follow a young mage-in-training named Arle Nadja, and chronicle her adventures in a world filled with colorful characters and monsters -- everything from a fish with human arms and legs to the [[{{Satan}} Prince of Hell himself]] is here. The cast of these games was later used to create a puzzle game by the name of ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' which [[MorePopularSpinoff went on to become infinitely more popular than its parent series]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: The PC-98 port of ''1-2-3'' is this compared to the original, eschewing the light-hearted and cutesy aesthetic in favor of giving them a realistic, shonen-esque, artstyle, and turning monster-type enemies into actual monsters (i.e. Harpy being drawn like her namesake instead of an angel). The port is also infamous for being much more violent than the original, as it features blood, on-screen decapitations, and applying fatalities on certain monsters with the right spells.
