A side-scrolling [[Shoot'Em Up]] released for the arcades in 1991, '''''Sunset Riders''''' is one of several four-player arcade games that [[Konami]] released in the wake of their success with ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game]]''. The game centers around four [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]] (Steve, Bob, Billy, and Cormano) who must hunt down various fugitives during the [[Wild West]] to collect monetary rewards. Essentially a [[Recycled in Space|Wild West-themed]] version of ''[[Contra]]'', as its director Hideyuki Tsujimoto worked on both arcade ''Contra'' games.
''Sunset Riders'' was ported to both the [[Sega Genesis]] and the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], in 1993.▼

{{tropelist}}
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: Even after you beat the game, if you still have credits left, you'll be taken straight back to the first stage, no "Press Start" prompt.
* [[Arrows on Fire]]: Used by some of the enemy Amerindians.
* [[Badass Beard]]: Cormano.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: As usually dictated by Video Game logic.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: The SNES version faced some censorship, including removing all references to alcohol, adding some modesty to the female NPCs, changing a boss' name from Chief Scalpem to Chief Wigwam, and replacing all the Native American enemies in one stage with white outlaws. Additionally, El Greco no longer says "Die, gringo!" before battle.
** In both console ports, the female dynamite throwers are replaced with dynamite-wielding variants of the male bomb throwers.
* [[Clean Dub Name]]: Chief Scalpem to Chief Wigwam in the SNES port.
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]:
** '''{{color|gold|Steve}}''' [[The Hero]].
** '''{{color|blue|Billy}}''' [[Kid Appeal Character|The Kid]]. <ref>Also plays the role of [[The Hero]] in the Genesis version.</ref>
** '''{{color|green|Bob}}''' [[The Lancer]].
** '''{{color|red|Cormano}}''' [[The Big Guy]]. <ref>Also plays the role of [[The Lancer]] in the Genesis version.</ref>
* [[Cool Horse]]: Dark Horse's steed is fitted with metal plates on its head and legs, which block your bullets directly from the front.
* [[
** In the Genesis version, the player has to rescue a brown-haired girl in a yellow dress at the end of every odd-numbered stage. In a 2-Player game, the player who gets to the girl first will receive the stage clear bonus.
* [[The Dragon]]: Paco Loco, again. For the Genesis version, it's Chief Scalpem.▼
* [[Dual Boss]]: The Smith Bros.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Paco Loco.
* [[Evil Brit]]: The final boss.
▲* [[The Dragon]]: Paco Loco, again. For the Genesis version, it's Chief Scalpem.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Paco Loco, [[Rule of Three|yet again.]]
* [[Flash of Pain]]: The bosses flashes white upon hit, and red when in critical health.
Line 37 ⟶ 34:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Step on a rake and see what happens.
** Also when you walk into a plastic arrow planted on the floor. Yup. That's in the Amerindian stage.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: With a powerup. Two of them [[Up to Eleven|even Dual Wield SHOTGUNS]]. Well, [[Sawed-Off Shotgun|Sawed Off Shotguns]], but still.
* [[The Gunslinger]]: The whole team.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Steve, Billy, Bob, the dynamite-throwing female mooks
* [[Ironic Echo]]: El Greco has "Adios, amigo!" as both his entry and death phrases in the SNES version.
** El Greco's entry phrase in the Arcade version was "Die, gringo!" which was [[Bowdlerise|censored out]] by Nintendo as it was considered inappropriate.
* [[It Was a Gift]]: In the arcade version, El Greco gives his [[Nice Hat|red sombrero]] to Cormano upon defeat. Cormano wears this hat for the rest of the game. With the other characters though, he'll just throw it away.
* [[Just Following Orders]]: Chief Scalpem's sister saves his ass with these words, as opposed to all the rest of Richard Rose's thugs who were also "just following orders"
▲* [[Just Following Orders]]: Chief Scalpem's sister saves his ass with these words, as opposed to all the rest of Richard Rose's thugs who were also "just following orders", I guess. Which brings us to...
* [[Kaizo Trap]]: When Paco Loco dies, he fires off a few last rounds from his gatling gun after he falls off his perch. You can avoid them by ducking.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Chief Scalpem, of course.
Line 54 ⟶ 47:
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]: Sir Richard Rose.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Chief Scalpem.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Despite the lighter overall look, this will kick the players' butt just as hard as ''Contra'' does.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Played straight mostly.
* [[One Name Only]]: The four main heroes. Averted in the Genesis version which only featured Billy and Cormano and gave them full names ("Billy Cool" and "Cormano Wild").
* [[Quick Draw]]: The 2nd boss, Hank "Hawkeye" Hatfield. [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|In theory, atleast]].
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Sir Richard Rose has quite the modals for the [[Big Bad]]. Noted specially in his intro:
Line 77 ⟶ 69:
* [[Traintop Battle]]: The boss fight against El Greco. But that's not the only stage where you have to walk through a moving train.
** In the ''Genesis'' port, Paco Loco is the one fought atop a moving train.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: Hawkeye Hank Hatfield. His henchmen shoot fast,he is very fast too and just to surprise you he will JUMP into your zone and shoot you while ducking, way different from Simon Greedwell who just stood there taking shots, Hank moves around like crazy.
* [[Whip It Good]]: El Greco.
* [[You No Take Candle]]: Dark Horse says, "You in big heap trouble!" when you fight him, and "Me in big heap trouble!" when you defeat him. Chief Scalpem also introduces himself with, "Me ready for powwow!" and croaks, "Me powwowed out!" when defeated.
