* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Super Robot Wars A'' is the first in a line of nine largely-iterative standalone games on Nintendo handhelds and is very peculiar relative to the rest of them, owing to the fact that it released as the series was in the middle of moving away from the ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 Super Robot Wars F/F Final]]'' template and into more modern form. Oddities include:
** [[FakeLongevity Animations cannot be skipped.]]
** Outside of the debuting ''Dragonar'' and ''Nadesico'', every single series was either in ''SRW 4/F/FF'' or has close ties to another series that was in those games.[[note]]''08th MS Team'' being a sidestory of the original ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', ''Voltes V'' rounding out the ''Robot Romance Trilogy''.[[/note]] Every other Nintendo handheld game has noteworthy twists and quirks with regards to their respective rosters; even [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsReversal the next game]], which largely carries over ''A'''s roster, ditches the 70s ''Getter Robo'' series for ''Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo''.
** Gespensts show up as EliteMooks. The Gespenst had its status as a RecurringElement revoked shortly after, being confined to the ''Original Generation'' series beyond an occasional cameo where it's treated like a GuestFighter.
** The heroic force is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Londo Bell]], whereas other Nintendo handheld armies go by entirely-original names.
** There is a system where shields have their own HP that must be depleted before a mech starts taking damage; this doesn't carry over to ''any'' other ''Super Robot Wars'', not even ''A Portable''.
** The game uses the stat system from ''F and F Final'', which means a "reaction" pilot stat and "limit" unit stat.

However, from a gameplay perspective, having Gato lose the strongest weapon of his Gundam before fighting the player is too much of a handicap, so they have Karius supply him with another nuke after the attack on Solomon, with this being the implied handwave for Gato still having a nuke in every subsequent battle with him.

Despite [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam Shirou]] still being the leader of the 08th MS Team, none of the members of the team besides him shows up. Also, of all the Federation-aligned characters from ''Anime/MetalArmorDragonar'', only the main trio, Linda, and Kaine's mother are in this game. This likely because, with everyone joining the same team, the characters from other series can play the same role as the missing characters, making them redundant.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:[[Anime/VoltesV Prince Heinel and his aide/would-be love interest Katherine]] were not killed and the final battle went differently because [[BigBad Zu Zambajil]] was AdaptedOut: Heinel was adamant in restoring his pride by initiating a DuelToTheDeath against Kenichi, but Katherine instead shot him with a tranquilizer and took him to a place far away in space, knowing that returning to the Vega Alliance means that [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer King Vega]] would execute them for failure, but she'll continue to stay by his side forever.]]
Added DiffLines:
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In this story, [[Anime/VoltesV Heinel]] and [[spoiler:Kentaro Go/[=LaGour=] and thus Kenichi, Daijiro and Hiyoshi]] are unrelated, their relations go only as far as being WorthyOpponent to each other.

* CombinationAttack: With twenty-six different combination attacks in the game, ''A Portable'' has more combination attacks than nearly any other entry in the franchise. Great Mazinger can have up to ''seven'' different combination attacks available simultaneously, although [[TierInducedScrappy it desperately needs them]]. God Gundam can have up to six, [[GameBreaker but it doesn't need them]].

More tools for busting out big damage and getting past that pesky HP retreat threshold (especially when Tetsuya usually always had Valor when he rejoins for good.)

** For the ''Anime/MazingerZ'' saga, Kouji has already met [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Duke Fleed]] before he returned in the final legs of ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' where Tetsuya's jealousy issues against him started to flare up (and they're already like that ''in the beginning of the game), and even then, he's also aware of Duke's presence.

On the other hand, references to the Dinosaur Empire were still thrown here and there, implying that Musashi survived the battle against the Dinosaur Empire, when originally it was his death that made victory possible against the Dinosaur Empire.

* BackgroundMusicOverride: While pretty common throughout the series, fighting [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]] will have the music overridden by [[{{Leitmotif}} his theme, "Here Comes Char".]] In ''A Portable'', this apparently gets a similar treatment with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration "Trombe!"]], in the original ''A'', when [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro]] joins, he had his show's theme "Mizu no Hoshi e ai wo Komete". But in ''A Portable'', they forgot to assign him the ''Zeta Gundam'' theme, so he's still stuck with "Here Comes Char", and thus creating a DramaticIrony that the cast only suspects that Quattro is Char, whereas the players, even if they haven't watched the show, knows that he's totally Char.
