* ActionGirl: Annie, [[WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd a woman as beautiful as she is deadly,]] one of the two playable characters. She manages to kick major ass and perform various acrobatic feats whilst wearing [[ImpracticallyFancyOutfit a period dress and hat.]]

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Annie and Clint pretty much play the same, except that Clint's dodge roll goes a longer distance while Annie's directional jump takes her further.

%%* SmartBomb: Wouldn't be an old-school shooter if you didn't get these.

* DualBoss: The first battle at the beginning of the final stage is are a pair of Steel Toms.

* FlunkyBoss: Kid, the final boss. Some of the others too- like Flash Boy, the enhanced Flyer model that spawns more Flyers, and the Gaes Crystal (the snake-like orb boss of the Ammunition Depot stage).

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: A few bandits in the ammunition depot have riot shields, protecting them from your attacks unless they peak out to fire at you.

%%* TankGoodness

* FlunkyBoss: Kid, the final boss. Some of the others too- like the jetpack guy, the enhanced Flyer bot that spawns more Flyers, and the Gaes Crystal (the snake-like orb boss of the Ammunition Depot stage).

* JetPack: Some of the bad guys have one.

* DegradedBoss: The trenchcoat-wearing cowboy robot minibosses appear in the final stage as a regular Mook and take a few hits to die.
* DepthPerplexion: Seen particularly in the boss battle against the jetpack guy. The dynamite you pick up from the boss is able to affect him as well as the horse-riding Mooks who are ''much'' further behind.

* DualBoss: The second-to-last boss is a pair of gun-toting, sombrero-wearing HumongousMecha.

* FireBreathingWeapon: One of the bosses is a massive flamethrower-equipped tank.

* ShoutOut: Both the heroes' names are references, to Creator/ClintEastwood and AnnieOakley. Their names are also stealth references to BonnieAndClyde.

* {{Expy}}: Clint, [[WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd a man as dangerous as he is unshaven]], is obviously based on ClintEastwood's various western characters, most likely The Man With No Name from the ''Film/DollarsTrilogy''. Annie is likely based on the real life female sharpshooter Annie Oakley.

''Wild Guns'' is a fixed-view ThirdPersonShooter developed by Creator/{{Natsume}} for the SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem, released in Japan in 1994 and the United States a year later. A PAL version was published by Titus software a year after that. If you've played {{Cabal}}, BloodBros, or {{Nam1975}}, you'll be familiar with the concept, as this sort of game is rather rare and hard to describe. Essentially, your character is standing in the foreground shooting at enemies in the background, and the directional pad controls both lateral movement and the position of the [[CrosshairAware on-screen crossshair.]]

* AttackDrone: Several {{Mooks}} are these.

* BottomlessMagazines

* CoresAndTurretsBoss

* DoubleJump: Useful for evading incoming fire.

* ForMassiveDamage: Best way to get the high scores.

* GiantEnemyCrab: One of the bosses.

* JetPack: Some of the bad guys have one.

* LocomotiveLevel: Armoured Train.

* MadeOfExplodium: ''EVERYTHING.''

* MookMaker: The second MiniBoss of Desolation Canyon is this.

* OneManArmy: Both Annie and Clint will mow down hundreds upon hundreds of Mooks during the course of the game.
* OneHitPointWonder: Annie and Clint. Hell, even the first few Mooks you fight can take at least ''two''.
* OperaGloves: Annie

* PermaStubble: Clint.
* PimpedOutDress: Annie
* PinballScoring
* PinkMeansFeminine: Annie
* PistolWhip: You can do this if a Mook gets too close.

* ScoringPoints

* SmartBomb: Wouldn't be an old-school shooter if you didn't get these.

* StuffBlowingUp: Regularly, complete with ExplodingBarrels.

* TankGoodness: See the KillItWithFire entry above.

* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Averted, a roll confers invulnerability to all forms of damage, for both you and the enemy. Taken to an extreme since you can roll through a jet of flame.

* WierdWest: It ''looks'' like the old west, but there's tanks and giant robots.
