Awesome / Bionic Commando

• Hitler's Master D's exploding head. Which is RENDERED IN 3D in the remake!
  • Shot of the scene from the original can be seen here◊.
  • Followed by the ending: Rad makes it out of the base before the self-destruct timer expires, realizes Super Joe hasn't made it out yet, goes back for him regardless of how much time was left, and the whole moment is summarized with the shot of Rad holding on to Joe as they hang from the escape helicopter via his bionic arm.
  • Rearmed changes the above to both Rad and Joe escaping at the same time, Joe destroying the Albatross's reactor offscreen while Rad takes out Hitler The Leader.
  • Master-D also says "You want to fight me? You damn fool." which was as close to a curse as you'd get from a Nintendo game at the time. Rearmed even keeps this line.
• In the sequel, you make Groeder's head explode by shoving a grenade down his throat when he gets split in half.
  Spencer: Let's see how you get back from THIS.
  • You get the option to skip Groeder's ranting in the fight against him. Spencer literally tells him to STFU.
  • In the sequel, the most awesome thing must be the final scene, where Spencer has a flashback of his wife saying she will stay by his side (see the spoiler under Darker and Edgier), headbutts Super Joe through the windscreen of his mecha suit, makes it explode and falls, presumably, to his death. And the music makes it even more awesome.
• The entire basic idea behind the game. In an era when jumping platformers were huge, the game designers dared to make a game where you grappled and swung, but couldn't jump at all - and succeeded to the point where it remains on many "Top Ten" and "Best of..." game lists.
