Palette Swap | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: The game's enemy design really could be counted on one hand, with most of the mooks being recycled using recoloured sprites. There's even one mook-grade enemy whose sprite is tweaked from John! | |

Pop Quiz | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_39dceac1 | comment |
Pop Quiz: A pop-quiz game shows up between levels as multiple-choice questions for players to attempt getting extra points in their score before resuming kicking ass. Most of the quizzes are based on science fiction general knowledge (and really, really easy) like the definition of a Black hole or an Aurora Borealis, but some of them involves sci-fi pop culture (like "The name of the character played by Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek..." or "The director of Back to the Future?") | |

Advancing Boss of Doom: The stage on the moon have it's boss being a huge, building-sized Lunar Rover hijacked by the terrorists, which they'll use to attempt running over John. He'll need to move fast to avoid getting crushed and lose a life, but there are occasional shallow pits in the ground he can jump in allowing the Rover to pass above him (before exiting the pit to shoot back). | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: One of the rarer, but more useful power-ups, the "Hover". Which have John becoming temporarily electrified, a lightning bolt propelling him a few meters into the air and for him to fly around and shoot electricity. This particular power-up lasts for several seconds and can clear an area of enemies when used correctly. | |

Batman Can Breathe in Space | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_5ed3ace2 | comment |
Batman Can Breathe in Space: Averted in the space missions; John wears his spacesuit, complete with helmet, while battling enemies on the side of the space stations. Enemy mooks have their helmets on as well, although henchwomen enemies will somehow have their long hair flowing out the edges of their helmets. | |

Double Jump | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_9af10b44 | comment |
Double Jump: A move John can easily pull off by hitting the jump button again when he's in mid-air, thanks to the game being set on a space station with lowered gravity. | |

Weaponized Exhaust | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_9c842299 | comment |
Weaponized Exhaust: Be wary in levels when John fights enemies on the sides of the space station, near the exhaust vents constantly spweing flames. The exhaust can incinerate him on the spot, but can be avoided by timing his jumps. | |

Artificial Gravity | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_ae69516f | comment |
Artificial Gravity: More than one area have artificial gravity generators, where terrorists can run along the ceilings and walls while attacking from above. John's high-jumps also allows him to walk upside-down or alongside walls once he gets close to a surface, sticking on contact. | |

Reflecting Laser | |
| Surprise Attack (Video Game) / int_db602541 | comment |
Reflecting Laser: The game's second-to-last boss is a single turret with mirrors built on the ceiling and opposite wall flanking it, where the laser will fire at John. Dodge that, and the mirrors will catch and reflect the bolts back at John, requiring him to repeatedly dodge while shooting the laser's sole weak spot until it's destroyed. | |
