* SoBadItWasBetter: Irem's arcade version reduced the NintendoHard difficulty by removing fall damage and giving the spelunker a weapon to defend himself. However, many players felt that it also removed the charm of the game and turned it into another action platformer.

* MemeticLoser: Spelunker will forever be remembered as one of the most fragile video game characters of all time for his inability to survive bat guano, pits anyone else could just easily climb out of, or falls greater than a few inches.
** Even, by ''Spelunker Party'', the '''game''' considers him a loser, in that the CallToAdventure went to Spelunkette!

* AwesomeMusic: The [[GratuitousEnglish lyrics]] of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ-g09Pclqs anime's theme song]] may make no sense but at least the music, a remix of the video game's main theme and level complete theme, is pretty nice.

* MemeticMutation: In Japan, there's many remixes of the NES version's main level music, and the Spelunker himself shows up in many remix videos, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSnUR_pnUd0 this one]]. The fragility of the protagonist is also memetic.

* DemonicSpiders: Everything, really, but especially spiders in ''Spelunker HD''. They're practically invisible against the background and surprisingly hard to jump. They also travel in packs.
