- Awesome Music: The original. For something that uses only the Apple speaker, it's very impressive that the music really sounds like it's being played using electric guitars.
- Game-Breaker: In the remake, the Chi Attack is overpowered during the latter part of a boss fight. As long as you're not wasting it on mooks (who, given the relative simplicity of the game, you shouldn't need it for) it gives the player a free block from any attack or group of attacks as well as a longer combo string.
- Goddamned Bats: The Falcon.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The Big Bad is named "Akuma" and in the Famicom version sports a gi and hairstyle similar to the more famous one.
- Memetic Mutation: The ninja's dance scene became popular in the mid-2000s internet era, especially when the animation was juxtaposed to Daft Punk's "Work It" or MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This".
- That One Puzzle: The infamous gate, known for an obtuse solution that changes between ports.
