History VideoGame / SpaceHarrier

*** BonusBoss: In the PS2 remake, this is how Haya Oh is fought instead. If you keep shooting after defeating Valda, you will be transported to Stage 19 and play 4 more stages until Stage 22, where Haya Oh will appear.

In 2000, Sega attempted a reboot with ''Planet Harriers'', a ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon''-like game featuring an all-new cast; this was an ArcadeGame that never made it to consoles.

''Space Harrier'' is a 1985 {{Sega}} shooting game set in the Fantasy Zone, the part that is the land of dragons.

Two console sequels were produced in the late 1980s: ''Space Harrier 3-D'', which used the SegaMasterSystem's [=SegaScope=] 3D system, and ''Space Harrier II'', one of the launch titles for the SegaGenesis[=/=]MegaDrive.

* {{Expy}}: Trimuller, the first boss from ''Space Harrier II' is a stand-in for Gamera, right down to looking just like a giant tortoise monster and its spinning movement. There's also the [[MechaMooks Ric Doms]] from MobileSuitGundam who appear to harrass [[TheHero our hero]].

* OneHitPointWonder: Hit an obstacle or projectile, and you lose a life.

* MercyMode: In the original, a dipswitch setting grants the plyaer infinite lives for the first 60 seconds of the game.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: In ''Space Harrier II'', TheHero has defeated his EvilCounterpart and peace is restored on Fantasy Land. However, there is a chance that there's another evil being like the Dark Harrier will rise to threaten the peace in the galaxy, so our hero resolves to keep fighting]].

Currently, the game is available for download on the {{Nintendo 3DS}} via the Nintendo [=eShop=], in the form of ''3D Space Harrier''. Unlike ''Space Harrier 3-D'', which requires special glasses for the 3D mode, ''3D Space Harrier utilizes'' the [=3DS=]'s native 3D capabilities to achieve a 3D display without the need for external peripherals.

** TrueFinalBoss: Haya Oh, a pair of twin flaming dragons who are about as fast as the incoming obstacles in the tunnel stages, if you clear [[BossRush Stage 18]] with no deaths.

** TrueFinalBoss: In the Master System version, once you reach Valda a castle scrolls in from the side of the screen. The instant you bear him, the castle crumbles, the background turns red, and you fight Haya Oh, a pair of twin flaming dragons who are about as fast as the incoming obstacles in the tunnel stages.

* MadeOfExplodioum: The frickin' ''clouds and bushes'' explode when shot, for cryin' out loud!

* BossRush: The eighteenth and final level (Absymbel) is solely a parade of six of the previous bosses, except that [[BossSubtitles now they get names]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: In ''Space Harrier II'', TheHero has defeated his EvilCounterpart and peace is restored on Fantasy Land.
