* {{Baphomet}}: An image of him appears whenever Meglilo enters the "Märchen Dimension" to battle against the bosses. It could be a hint of what Prof. Amamori ''really'' did to resurrect her...
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Meglilo reaches the Gogoh base on the Moon in stage 5 just by flying there. But she's a cyborg powered by both science and magic, so it's not like she cares.
* CuteWitch: Meglilo was one, she flied on a broom before being killed and reconstructed by Professor Amamori. The original Japanese title calls her "Majo-borg" or "Witch-borg".

[[http://playism-games.com/game/243/witch-bot-meglilo Witch-Bot MEGLILO]] is another bullet hell game set in the same universe, this time a VerticalScrollingShooter. The wacky premise is that Meglilo, a MagicalGirl from the Magic Kingdom, gets killed during one of the battles between the Gogoh Army and the Supercharged Research Center, and Prof. Amamori himself rebuilds her in the form of a cyborg with huge firepower and the ability to stop time.

* ShoutOut: Several of them.
** In the cutscenes every boss is accompanied by a couple of FatAndSkinny henchmen who all look the same, a lanky moustached guy and a squat bearded dude, before revealing themselves as Gogoh agents. A clear reference to the bad guys of the ''Anime/TimeBokan'' metaseries.
** The baker who gets blown up before Stage 2 looks like Uncle Jam from ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''.
** As stated above, the game as a whole is an AffectionateParody of ''Anime/ChargemanKen'' and the whole "human bombs" thing is taken from one of that anime's most infamous stories. Meglilo's sidekick Billiken is a duck-like creature that parodies Chargeman Ken's Barican, a robot dog (?) that looks like a sort of duck.
** Amp and her henchmen are dressed like Music/{{KISS}} during her concert.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: The last stage is General Lily launching an assault with Gogoh monsters that are invulnerable to Meglilo's weapons. All seems lost until the combined wishes of the children of the whole world help Meglilo unlock the "Omega System": a beam made of heart-shaped bullets that lets her wipe out everything.
