* NintendoHard: Per arcade standards. This is a LONG (hour-plus) arcade game (most arcade games only take 15-20 minutes tops, depending on genre) in which thousands of enemies, many of which can take hundreds or thousands of hits to kill (especially the bosses) all swarm you. Also, you die in one poke, and it doesn't help that your supermuscles merely make you [[HitboxDissonance a larger target]]. Worse, extra lives and powerups are harder to get the longer you play, and if you go far enough without continuing, your bombs will eventually ''not'' give you the standard invulnerability. Noted in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CgGH5LO1bY one-credit-clear longplay]], as the player notes that it is "not a game that encourages 1-credit play, due to the fact that you get to keep your score when you continue" and buyins through many continues will get better scores.

* DynamicDifficulty: The game is already hard, but it gets even harder if you play well, having less powerups, less functional smart bombs and more ''enemy'' smart bombs you have to touch to diffuse and not die instead. Also, after more than five minutes of using just one credit, the game removes your invincibility to bombs.
