Battle Clash, known in Japan as Space Bazooka, is a Mecha-themed Light Gun Game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 which supported the Super Scope light gun peripheral. It was developed by Intelligent Systems of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars fame. The player assumes the role of the gunner of a mecha ("Standing Tank", the game's preferred terminology) known as the "Falcon", as he helps the pilot, Michael Anderson, defeat the other Standing Tanks around the world in a tournament called the "Battle Game". Eventually, the player and Mike's journey take to the Moon, where they face the tournament's champion, the alien Anubis, the murderer of Mike's father.The sequel Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge, released in 1993, took a Sequel Escalation approach to the original game's premise. The "Battle Game" tournament in the previous game is revealed to be a front for an incoming alien invasion, which now took Mike and the player to other planets around the solar system to defeat the invaders. The sequel further refined the gameplay by adding a training stage to the beginning and a second playable Standing Tank in the form of the "Tornado", piloted by a mysterious young girl named Carol Eugene.

Cherry Tapping: Basic turbo shots. These do negligible damage and don't even scratch most standing tank armor, but in Metal Combat, this can actually net you the best ending.

High-Speed Battle
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_12f8458
comment
High-Speed Battle: Most fights in the first game have some element of this, with your standing tank hitting at least 100 KPH at least once, meaning Ivan is the one who stands out for being pretty slow-paced. It is on a boat, so there's not much room to zoom around. The ST's of Metal Combat don't boast the same top speeds, except for Siamang, whom you might just beat before it gets there, until you get to Viscount (which, incidentally is an improved version of Carlos' Battle Clash ST, Baron). Then the speed picks back up.

 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_1695e61d
comment
Destructible Projectiles: The main purpose of your standard fire is not to damage the enemy standing tank but to protect your own until you can find an opening to hit it with something stronger. This is complicated in that some enemy attacks can only be stopped with that something stronger, all which is low rate of fire, limited in ammunition or a drain on your own standing tank's energy levels.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship See Heel–Face Turn for the first game. In the second game you have Dayan (pilot of the ST Wong) who halts your advance because he believes you to be yet another challenger who's trying to contest the control of the Mongolia/Asia area. He then acknowledges that you aren't after the fight and encourages you to reach your goal. Subverted with Carlos in the ST Viscount. He may tell you where Anubis is after defeating him, but it's not because his intentions are friendly at all. He's quite angry that he's lost to you twice now, and may just want to assist you so you don't die... before he has a chance to challenge you again, as he seems to consider you both a rival and an abomination to ST pilots. See Berserk Button.

Difficulty Levels: Unlockable in both games by inputting a button combination at the title screen using the controller. In the first game, this allows you to play on Easy or Hard Mode. In the sequel, you instead unlock what's called Real Mode, which also comes with a gold-colored paintjob for all ST's.

Non-Indicative Name: Standing tanks are roughly tank sized, to be fair, but most of them float above the ground instead of standing. And the one that does stand is much bigger than a tank. Then come the second game, Rola's training ST doesn't even have legs, nor does Wong, and these new machines, including yours, are all noticeably larger than tanks.

More Dakka
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_2b706ca
comment
In the first game Ivan has More Dakka than anything else besides Thanatos 2 and will cut you down more quickly than any previous boss if you're relaxed about defending Falcon. And you'll really need the importance of defending your standing tank made clear if you're to get past the very next boss, Valius, even though it otherwise is a completely different fight. In the second game hitting enemy weak points isn't quite as hard or important until you get to Griffin, a Timed Mission where your shots can be deflected by his wings. You'll appreciate this lesson in more precises targeting since Viscount and it's shield follow immediately afterwards.

Victory Fakeout
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_3d260e8c
comment
Victory Fakeout: Metal Combat had a rather dastardly one after the player fights Virvius, the true individual that Battle Clash has its antagonist copied from. This Anubis fight included everything the first game did in having a support character swoop by to restore your Energy gauge before the second battle against Virvius, now in One-Winged Angel form. After defeating Virvius-2, the player is even treated to the villain's last words, and a short celebration from the aforementioned support character, moments before she's whisked away by The Man Behind the Man. It was more unexpected to players that beat the previous game, as defeating Thanatos in that one only led straight to the Ranking and Credits- no conversation or even a last word from the villain. In comparison, the scene after Virvius's defeat seems like a step up... right until tentacles subtly pop up on the bottom of the screen and Rola screams.

comment
Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The ST Baron and Viscount both have a shield that protects them from your attacks. The latter also has guns in it, although less powerful ones than its main weapon. The ST Cobra's shield actually absorbs your attacks to power up its insanely huge arm cannon.

Who Needs Their Whole Body?
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_54a74b43
comment
Who Needs Their Whole Body?: Rola's standing tank Majin will continue to crawl along the ground with one arm if you blow apart its torso. And if you don't finish her off she will start shooting at you. She takes training pretty seriously. This is a subtle warning that enemy tanks in Metal Combat will not give up the fight until their life bar is empty.

Charged Attack
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: Your standing tank uses lasers to charge up an energy bolt when you're not using any other weapons. These bolts are more powerful than your turbo shots. The upgraded Falcon of "Metal Combat" has 'treble' energy bolts, which charge for even longer and are even more powerful(about three times!). Tornado can store charges for "super turbo shots", which are basically rapid fire energy bolts, up to ten! Alternatively Tornado can unleash all ten at once as a "hyper shot". Falcon also has plasma bombs, which have to be charged, but are more powerful than their standard counterparts.

 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_5979acea
comment
Fragile Speedster: Siamang rarely reaches it's top speed and tends to let you center it when it attacks, making it vulnerable to bombs(too bad Falcon's likely to only have one when you fight it), but it can change direction quickly to get out of your sight, "jump" over your energy bolts and attack several times in rapid succession. And it's narrow body makes it relatively hard to hit(except, of course, with bombs).

Heel–Face Turn: In the first game, Tasha, Eddie and Antonov, pilots of the STs Artemis, Valius and Ivan, help you out in the final battle against Anubis and his ST Thanatos. Could possibly also include the second protagonist, Carol Eugene, and her sister Rola. (See Green Skinned Space Babe above.) Playing the Battle Game with her as the pilot reveals that she is also Eltorian, and apparently many of the enemy pilots are familiar with her. She betrayed them to also save Earth.

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite having the enemy ST clearly exploding piece by piece (including the torso and 'core' of the ST), all your opponents seem to somehow survive, as the ensuing conversations display them sitting in their cockpits... though, with comically damaged portraits instead, featuring bandages, bumps, and bruises. Rola, the pilot of the ST Spika in Metal Combat, also appears as Mike's coach in the game's training mode under a human disguise, but nothing is ever brought up about this when she appears later on under her true form and Mike talks to her as if they never met each other before.

Gladiator Games: Battle Games are Bread and Circuses meant to distract the disgruntled public until the ruins of civilization are repaired. Rather than death, the draw is that the losers of the game have to serve the winners, which is how Anubis builds up his power in the first game. It is said Anubis almost had to kill Dayan, who initially refused to serve Anubis and had to be thoroughly thrashed. It's also said though, that Mike aimed to do away with this stipulation after defeating Anubis, so if he succeeded, it means Dayan wouldn't readily serve him three years later.

Guido in both games becomes this when played on their hardest difficulty levels. His ST's deceptively simple attack patterns benefit a lot from the increased aggression and amount of projectiles they can fire at once. Expect to be humbled very quickly by the surprising Bullet Hell they can now employ, as this is gonna be the standard for every fight afterwards.

Mighty Glacier: Antonov and his ST Ivan. Its armor is even more resilient than Scarab's and it's got the most impressive arsenal outside of Thanatos, but it hardly moves.

Cyborg: Subverted with Carlos in "Metal Combat", as he sports a metal eye suggesting he suffered damage from a previous fight, possibly the last game's, but when you beat him again it gets knocked out to reveal his regular eye is still intact. Played straight with Anubis, who is "revived" as a cyborg though this is just a clone and the original Anubis was always a cyborg.

Subverted with Carlos in the ST Viscount. He may tell you where Anubis is after defeating him, but it's not because his intentions are friendly at all. He's quite angry that he's lost to you twice now, and may just want to assist you so you don't die... before he has a chance to challenge you again, as he seems to consider you both a rival and an abomination to ST pilots. See Berserk Button.

comment
A Mech by Any Other Name: The Battle Games originally were fought using outdated tanks, but as time went on humanoid vehicles were built from the ground up for them, thus giving birth to "Standing Tanks". Most are still roughly tank sized (Falcon is 8.25 meters tall, for example), so the name "Standing Tank" stuck, (the Tornado and upgraded Falcon really push it though, standing at 11.95 and 12.88 meters, respectively).

comment
One-Hit Kill: If you fail to find a way to defeat Giga-Desp's first form when the music changes and it powers up its ultimate attack, you will lose, regardless of how much energy your ST has left. To clue you in to this, once Giga-Desp starts charging its attack, the music takes a turn for the dramatic and the background looks like it's having a seizure (6:14). Oh, Crap! indeed. You can activate your V-System, which will block the attack! Unfortunately, this completely disables your V-System right afterward, at least leaving you with your energy and a second chance to destroy Giga-Desp. This works in your favor, as well: under the right conditions, a fully-charged shot from the ST Tornado can bring down some early enemies in one hit.

When All You Have Is a Hammer…
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_bf698238
comment
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: The advantage of the upgraded Falcon over Tornado, besides being able to take more damage, is that Falcon continues to upgrade, gaining all sorts of new weapon and defensive systems as the game progresses. Tornado gets the lightning bomb and energy tank, but besides them, it's limited to just its gun and standard bombs. Tornado's gun can do more damage than Falcon's and Tornado can carry quite a few bombs (though the upgraded Falcon has roughly the same capacity and is less likely to need them).

Shout-Out: The level-up jingle from Fire Emblem is played when you clear a training level in Metal Combat. Yuka Tsujiyoko was the composer for both IPs. The name and effects of the V-System are similliar to V-MAX in Blue Comet SPT Layzner. Mike pilots a Falcon, which is blue. The overall aesthetic of Battle Clash and Metal Combat evoke some serious early 1990s mecha anime vibes, but the first game with its worldwide tournament premise and the overall ruined Earth setting is suspiciously familiar....

Eddie and the ST Valius. To start things off, he's the 3rd-to-last enemy in the first game, which qualifies his skill. His power comes from the sheer variety of attacks he has, from firing volleys of missiles to blasting away with his twin shoulder-mounted laser cannons. See Beyond the Impossible for an example of his speed, but also know that he is also able to create illusory doubles and even causes the screen to bob back and forth from trying to catch up with him. He can also easily take hits, as you'll still need to fire several energy bolts at him even if you blow off the entire lower half of his mech.

Deadly Upgrade: The V-System. It boosts Falcon's attack power, deflects all enemy bullets, and keeps the opponent centered, but continually drains ST Falcon's energy until it reaches critical. The Neutron Beam is this as well, as it deals massive amounts of damage if it hits, but using it also puts ST Falcon into critical. Interestingly, rival ST Viscount also gets a form of the Neutron Beam... complete with heavy damage and putting his ST into critical!

Achilles' Heel: Certain STs have weak points that, when hit by a charged shot, will deal lots of damage (or, in Metal Combat, destroy them completely). They don't glow unless you hit them with a high-powered charge shot. In some cases (such as with ST Arachnus), you want to avoid hitting the enemy's weak spot, as it only makes them more powerful.

Post-Defeat Explosion Chain
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_d9384864
comment
Post-Defeat Explosion Chain: A series of small, muffled explosions engulf every remaining limb and piece of an enemy ST upon defeat, leaving nothing behind. Metal Combat rewards every K.O. with a series of small explosions. The initial explosion causes the enemy ST to fall to pieces, leaving the remaining torso/core to bounce and stumble along the ground if it was moving when defeated. The ST's pieces get smaller rapid explosions followed by a final, larger explosion. However, sometimes you only see a portion of the flashier blast, because the game uses a first-person view and the enemy ST's torso just explodes from stumbling as you're still moving along. Every enemy ST explodes this way, even in stages with midair/underwater combat. The Final boss ramps up the pretty, pretty explosions by including several of them in succession with bright flashes.

Crew of One: This is apparently common with Standing Tanks, or at least those of the generals on up, as they're the only ones to comment on yours needing more than one person to operate. Zephyr expresses surprise at the fact your "tiny" ST can fit more than one person inside of it.

Turns Red: Inverted. Whenever a part of the enemy ST flashes orange it means that's either the critical weakpoint or that its armor is weakening and becoming a new weakpoint.

comment
11th-Hour Superpower: You receive the V-System before taking on Anubis and his Generals in Battle Clash, and is intended to be a last resort used at your discretion. In Metal Combat it is more of a Second Hour Superpower as Falcon only needs it because the fighting after the battle game require it to go into space and Tornado doesn't need, or get it at all.

Gonk: Mike's the only especially pretty person Battle Clash has but Scarab pilot Ikhnaton is the only especially ugly one, in ways no one else is. In Metal Combat, Siamang pilot Chada is the gonk, having a bone structure that looks more like a monkey's than a human's.

Blasting Time: Garam, Thanatos 1 and Siamang do this, and yes, these "baseball pitches" are more powerful than their standard shots. Rola's standing tank Majin has it's own variation in Metal Combat. Griffin and Virvius 1 do this with their legs, allowing for a triple super for the latter shout when it also charges up its arms and spiky shoulders. Viscount will resort to it if it happens to lose both its gun and shield (though the latter is unlikely). Thanatos 1 can also throw missiles at you with an overhead swing.

Char Clone: Carlos is a dead ringer, with blond hair, an Ace Custom ST similar to the player's but "better" (Mike specifically notes that the Falcon and Baron are similar but for the Baron's shield), a Cool Mask (albeit only in Battle Clash, but then Char himself eventually lost the mask), and more detailed motivation than most ST pilots (namely, his grudge against Mike and the Player Character for his defeat in Battle Clash).

Wake-Up Call Boss
 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: In the first game Ivan has More Dakka than anything else besides Thanatos 2 and will cut you down more quickly than any previous boss if you're relaxed about defending Falcon. And you'll really need the importance of defending your standing tank made clear if you're to get past the very next boss, Valius, even though it otherwise is a completely different fight. In the second game hitting enemy weak points isn't quite as hard or important until you get to Griffin, a Timed Mission where your shots can be deflected by his wings. You'll appreciate this lesson in more precises targeting since Viscount and it's shield follow immediately afterwards. Guido in both games becomes this when played on their hardest difficulty levels. His ST's deceptively simple attack patterns benefit a lot from the increased aggression and amount of projectiles they can fire at once. Expect to be humbled very quickly by the surprising Bullet Hell they can now employ, as this is gonna be the standard for every fight afterwards.

Stone Wall: The only Standing Tank slower than Groken is Ivan, but Groken's armor is even more impressive. It isn't as likely to cause you as much damage in as short a time as Ivan either, so you've got a little time to figure out how to chip away at it's defenses.

 Battle Clash (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16
comment
Metal Combat had a rather dastardly one after the player fights Virvius, the true individual that Battle Clash has its antagonist copied from. This Anubis fight included everything the first game did in having a support character swoop by to restore your Energy gauge before the second battle against Virvius, now in One-Winged Angel form. After defeating Virvius-2, the player is even treated to the villain's last words, and a short celebration from the aforementioned support character, moments before she's whisked away by The Man Behind the Man.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Anubis, to some degree. In his final moments, he states that he utterly failed his goal, and his death will not be in peace. Specifically, it turns out that the Eltorians lost their home planet through their own fault, and are wandering around. Anubis found Earth during that search for a new world, and he was following up on that.
