A CompilationRerelease of the first three games was released on the PlayStation as ''Super Pang Collection''.
!!The ''Pang'' series contains examples of:
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: ''Super Pang'' puts Tower Bridge somewhere in Lancashire.
* AsteroidsMonster: Almost solely.
* BulletTime: If you collect an hourglass powerup, the balloons will gradually slow down and then go back to normal speed.
* CollisionDamage: Touching any balloon will kill you (or break your shield). The game will even briefly pause and show you where you got hit before your character goes flying around the screen.
* {{Combo}}: Popping balloons of the same size in succession will multiply the points they give you by 2x, 4x, then 8x from the fourth onward.
* EveryTenThousandPoints: You'll get extra lives at various point milestones.
* ExcusePlot: The balloons are apparently trying to take over the world.
** In ''Pang! 3'', you're a group of thieves stealing famous paintings.
* FrictionlessIce: Completely averted with Pink Leopard in ''Pang! 3'', who has the power to walk on ice as if it were normal ground. Otherwise ice is low-friction.
* GoldenSnitch: The golden star balloons will pop all other balloons on screen, effectively clearing the screen in Panic modes, or clearing a stage in Tour mode.
* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall: Trying to take over the world and being able to kill you in one hit is pretty destructive, I'd say.
* LighterAndSofter: ''Mighty! Pang'' is much more [[{{Kawaisa}} Japanese-style "cute"]] than the other games in the series.
* [[OneBulletAtATime One Harpoon At A Time]]: By default only one harpoon is allowed on the screen until it hits a balloon or reaches the top of the screen and disappears. With the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin double harpoon powerup]], you can have two on screen at a time.
* OneHitPointWonder: Unless you have a shield -- in which case you're a two-hit-point wonder.
* OneUp: There are 1-ups in the form of items, usually in specific destructible blocks. Some levels are also "1-up prone", meaning that [[RandomlyDrops bubbles have a chance of dropping them when popped]]. Also see [=Every Ten Thousand Points=] above. [[NintendoHard The games are still plenty difficult]].
* PoisonMushroom: Dynamite. It will split every balloon up until they're reduced to their smallest size. Often results in death. Better hope they drop some shields or clocks while they split... (However, Pink Leopard in ''Pang! 3'' can pick up dynamite with no adverse effects.)
* PowerupLetdown: The machine gun and grapple powerups in the first game. Just the grapple powerup in the second game.
* RewardingVandalism: Powerups, food, coins, and 1-ups can be found in destructible blocks.
* SelectiveGravity: The hexagonal balloons in ''Super Pang'' fly in a straight line and will bounce in the opposite direction if they hit a wall.
** ''Mighty! Pang'' has balloons that have inverted gravity. Watch out when they're at the "peak" of their bounce.
* SequelEscalation: The machine gun was [[TheScrappy really wimpy]] in the first game, firing only two shots immediately above you and it had a crappy fire rate. This increased to four shots in a wider range and with a better fire rate in ''Super Pang''. By ''Pang! 3'' and ''Mighty! Pang'', it is taken UpToEleven: it will vaporize the largest balloons so fast that '''the sound effects can't keep up'''. The only disadvantage to using the machine gun is that it can't break destructible blocks (see RewardingVandalism above).
** The grapple powerup got progressively better too; in the original, it took several button presses to cancel and launch another one if you launched one in a bad place. In ''Super Pang'' it's still pretty [[TheScrappy scrappy]] but takes fewer shots to cancel. ''Pang! 3'' made it great: launching one will immediately cancel the one already on screen, and it extends faster than normal harpoons as well. Captain Hog's double grapple harpoons are almost a GameBreaker.
* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: In ''Super Pang'' and onward, starts from 20 units of time left. The first game has two of these: one starting from 50 units of time and another from 20.
* TimedMission: Every level in Tour mode.
* TimeStandsStill: If you collect a clock powerup or hit a flashing balloon in Panic Mode, all of the balloons (and in all but the first game, your remaining time) will freeze for a few seconds. You also won't die if you're in contact with one while they're frozen.
