Line 17:
* [[BFS]]: They only reason the [[Cool Sword]] may not look ''too'' big is because the guys carrying it are huge, too.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Most of the script for Advance Guardian Heroes is like this, and in some spots (like the intro,) it becomes a full-on [[Translation Train Wreck]].
* [[Crutch Character]]: The original [[Guardian Heroes]] characters in the sequel, in an unusual example of this trope. Defeating one of them in battle allows you to borrow their power, which gives you massive stat boosts. If you still aren't leveling up your stats normally, though, it'll come back to bite you in the ass later, as you frequently lose those powers throughout the game (usually when you fight another one of the original party, as the party members you've already beaten come back out and fight against you again.) And at the end of the game, the final boss permanently removes these powers one by one.▼
* [[Competitive Balance]]:
** Han: [[Mighty Glacier]]
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
** Nicole: [[Lightning Bruiser]]
** Serena: [[Jack of All Stats|Jill of All Stats]]

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Depending on what path you take.
* [[Difficulty Spike]]▼
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: If you die in the sequel, an mysterious figure appears and offers you immortality in exchange for your soul. Agree, and you turn invincible for the next 6 minutes before you're killed, allowing you to power through to the next checkpoint. Using it at any point will automatically net you the bad ending, though.
▲* [[Difficulty Spike]]
* [[Every Thing Is Better With Princesses]]: Lucia and {{spoiler|Serena.}}
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Zur in the retranslated script for the remake is all about this, with hilarious results.
Line 61:
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: You got your robots in my [[Medieval European Fantasy]]! You got your [[Medieval European Fantasy]] in my robots!
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: Edward and Randy are named after Edward Randy, the main character from the Data East arcade platformer ''The Cliffhanger''.
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Zur.▼
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]
** In the GBA version, Serena became "Cerena."
** The ''HD'' version featured a different translation, changing many character names. Samuel Han, for example, becomes ''Samwell'' Han, and Kanon G. Grey becomes Kanon ''The'' Grey.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: as with the [[Kamehame Hadoken]], many characters have a spell looking like a magical energy grenade for the smaller ones, to what the game itself describes as a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"full screen explosion"]]
▲* [[Sissy Villain]]: Zur.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: When Kanon's flying fortress in the sequel starts to crash with the player and Dylan inside it, Dylan invokes this trope. [[Subverted Trope|He then waits for you to leave and runs like hell.]]
* [[Theme Naming]]
