— WAIT —Admit it: whenever you play those Light Gun Games, the absurd amount of enemies that constantly chip away your health/life makes you believe The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard. How are you ever supposed to stop this onslaught? Enter Time Crisis by Bandai Namco Entertainment, a series of Light Gun Games for the arcades, now in its fifth iteration. Its main distinguishing feature is its use of a foot pedal: the player holds the pedal down to attack; when the pedal is released, the player hides behind a nearby wall/tree/bench/other objects and is safe from attack, but can't retaliate. This means that, unlike most light gun games, any attack can be dodged without harm even once it's been launched, although the reaction time you have can be punishingly low.Each game follows a different set of characters as they gun their way through unrelated international crises. The only two constants are the "VSSE" (Vital Situation Swift Execution), a Heroes "R" Us organization, and "Wild Dog", a freelance mercenary who serves as each villain's Dragon, despite blowing himself up in increasingly impressive pyrotechnics each time.As one might expect, time is an important part of the series. A timer is constantly running down to zero, being replenished each time players clear a "room" of enemies. In the first game, the timer was the main challenge: it had strict limits, and you fail the mission if time ran out, forcing you to the continue screen if you want to continue. Later games toned it down considerably: only one life is taken, and the limits are much easier to deal with. In fact, they mostly just prevent excessive turtling and make sure the player eventually dies even if they never press the pedal. | |

OffScreenTeleportation | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_11459bd4 | comment |
Offscreen Teleportation: Wild Dog does not follow the laws of physics in the first game; he can roll off to the right, and instantly appear on the left, or vice versa, or simply spawn behind an obscuring patch of flames. Ernesto Diaz does this in the last part of stage 3 in 2, ducking behind scenery with his hostage only to immediately pop up again elsewhere, at one point right in front of you. | |

Praetorian Guard | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_21d41a5b | comment |
Praetorian Guard: Wild Dog's white-clad personal guards, who show up really, really deep in his base, firstly as Sherudo's flunkies during the boss battle, and later on alongside regular mooks in the third half of the game. They're trained in using all weapons, including pistols, grenades, machine guns (with even better accuracy than the usual green-clad machine-gun soldiers) and at least two of them are even experts in throwing knives, their accuracy nearly on par with Sherudo. Oddly enough, the first game is their sole appearance in the entire franchise, and they're absent in the Rio Oro level of Project Titan (even though ALL of Wild Dog's usual mooks are brought back for that game). | |

Adaptation Expansion: Several of the console ports have a special side-story mode that takes place parallel to the main story (3, 4), as a continuation of it (Razing Storm), or as part of a different campaign altogether (1). II through 4 also have the Crisis Mission mode, which showcases the VSSE's training program and reveals that Richard, Wesley, and Alan spar against cadets as the final part of their training. | |

More Dakka: The helicopter scenes in 4. Very, very much so. 5 has another helicopter scene with even MORE. Not that it prevents other bosses in the series indulging in their own: the second boss in 2 uses a machine gun turret, a Gatling gun and an ICBM as a battering ram, while Diaz fights using a Kill Sat. 3 has the first boss use a VTOL's armaments, a machine gun, a Gatling gun, and in the Rescue Mission, a rocket launcher. Giorgio Zott switches from an assault rifle and sword combo to TWIN ROCKET LAUNCHERS. They really want you dead. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: Part of why the first game is called Time Crisis is that 1. you're ranked on how fast you beat each area and stage as well as the game, 2. the timer is an actual threat—take too long and it will bring you to a Game Over before the enemies can deplete all of your lives. However, subsequent games greatly loosen the time-based elements, not only giving players a large amount of time per area, but also resetting it upon moving to another area or taking a hit and also reducing the penalty for a time-out from a game over to simply a life loss; the timer's just there in later games to end games if the player idles or leaves the machine, and many other light-gun games like Police 911 and Lethal Enforcers 3, and even Namco's own swords-battle game Flash of the Blade have also adapted time limits. Also, from Time Crisis II onwards, you're ranked on points—while you can get bonuses for finishing areas quickly, you can also earn points from chaining enemy hits and maintaining an accuracy streak, so you're encouraged to play stylishly rather than quickly. | |

Gregory Barrows: The UCAV launch facility in Colorado with a hangar on the ground floor and the launch facility itself underground. Robert Baxter: A cave system that leads to his cargo plane of which he uses in an attempt to drug the entire state of New York. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Soldiers in red have precision aim and always connect with their first shot, blue/grey are fodder and orange are bonuses. Similarly, Player 1 characters wear red and Player 2 characters wear blue. By 3 and 4, shooting yellow soldiers rack up additional ammo for weapons aside from the default handgun (a single shot's enough to kill them, but the more you shoot them, the more ammo you get). Also, green soldiers have life bars, i.e. one shot isn't enough to take them out, and enemies in camo gear throw grenades and knives. | |

Drill Tank: The last stage in Rio Oro has Wild Dog unleashing his new "toy" on you... which is a massive armoured vehicle with three drills on its front. It will attempt to chew you up with those drills besides firing missiles at you, and your best bet is to strafe around it by leaping out of cover and attacking it from the side. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: In games where you can switch weapons, the basic handgun is this. Sure, it has no rapid-fire or spread, but it has unlimited ammo (just release the pedal to reload) and won't risk missed shots (either through over-firing or pellets failing to hit something). This is taken a step further in 5 where the handgun is the second most damaging weapon in your arsenal. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: It is the only mainline game to be single-player. The protagonist is a Heroic Mime; subsequent games would give the protagonists dialogue. Wild Dog serves as the Final Boss, with the Big Bad serving as the second-to-last boss; all subsequent games go the other way around. Wild Dog is openly shown collaborating with his client. This is done again in the second game, but by the third game onward the connection between him and the actual villain is implied at best. There are no Crisis Sightings (the red reticule that warns you that an enemy shot will inflict damage). Time is added after each scene and continues counting down even during cutscenes; later games have the timer reset after each scene and only count down during actual gameplay. If you run out of time, all of your lives are lost, rather than just one life. There is no Scoring Points; performance is ranked on time and a 10-star system. Unlike later games, there is a Timed Mode where you pick one stage and try to complete it as fast as possible with an infinite stock of lives, with the caveat that you are only allowed a single credit. Bosses get their own areas; later games would simply stick the boss in the third area of each stage, except in Time Crisis 5 where the Final Boss once again has their own area. Your handgun has six bullets instead of nine, and you have to complete the whole hiding animation to reload, unlike in later games where the threshold for reloading is shorter. There are no alternate weapons; Richard completes his entire mission with only his pistol. "Bonus" enemies award extra time. In later games where the timer serves virtually no threat to an active player, these kind of enemies award bonus points or ammo for other weapons. There are no stages set aboard some form of transport (train in 2, ATV and then a train in 3, helicopter in 4, helicopter then motorcycle in 5). Richard completes his entire mission on foot. | |

Drop-In-Drop-Out Multiplayer | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_51327c74 | comment |
Drop-In-Drop-Out Multiplayer: Starting from the second game, two players can engage in Co-Op Multiplayer and a second player can join a 1-player game in progress. While this is a common staple of non-Player Versus Player arcade games, because these games have a separate screen for each player, the implementation is done more uniquely: After inserting credits, the player is prompted to either choose Solo Play (thus locking out 2-player games entirely) or Link Play. If both sides have just inserted coins and both players choose Link Play, a 2-player game will commence from the start. If only one side is being used, if that player chooses Link Play, and a second player later inserts credits, that player will be asked whether they want to join the game-in-progress, or ignore it and proceed to Solo Play. Until a second player inserts coins, the unused side's screen will show the other player's game, but from their CPU partner's perspective, to entice people to join. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_519f108a | comment |
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Unlike bullets, knives will always take one life off if you don't dodge. Factor in speed and a mook with a knife is literally more dangerous than one with a rocket launcher. This is only true based on the difficulty: on easy difficulty, rockets and knives can miss if there isn't a red flash when launched, just like any other attack. It's still more likely to hit than an enemy firing a machine gun at you though, and what arcade machine is going to be set to easy? In the original game, however, hitting the enemy who throws them before they can hit you means that they will always register as a miss. It's also possible, albeit only by absurdly good marksmanship or sheer dumb luck, to shoot them out of the air. | |

Not Completely Useless | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_54ec2f0c | comment |
Not Completely Useless: For scoring purposes, grenades in 4 are only mostly useless (instead of completely useless in 3, where they reset the no-miss streak). There are segments where firing a grenade can hit out-of-sight enemies and maintain the player's combo, avoiding having to build it up back to 3,000 points. | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |

Zombie Apocalypse: Robert Baxter must have learned something from Caleb Goldman and Albert Wesker. With the drug he had stolen three years prior to the events of the game, he planned on launching a missile loaded with the drug to plunge the entire world into a zombie apocalypse, with the state of New York as his first terrorist attack. The enemies you fight in Stage 5 are also in a zombie-like state. | |

Wild Dog is good for something after all." This is followed by a message announcing a True Mastermind Edition, which will feature three more stages. This was discontinued when said "True Mastermind Edition" was released, showcasing the full game. | |

Pretty much every human boss will get pumped full of enough lead to poison them and barely be staggered. Very few of them have any sort of explanation for this. | |

Artistic License – Military: Much like 3, the Hamlin Battalion soldiers despite being a unit within the US Army are still issued only with handguns, with automatic weapons again being reserved mainly for elite troops. This even includes the US National Guards whose infantry are also issued with sidearms as a primary weapon and the assault rifles they occasionally carry is a G36C rifle (a weapon that no forces from any US Army and Marine branch would ever use). | |

Excuse Plot: The plots are there mainly to give the player an excuse to shoot stuff. The first focused on a pro-monarchist terrorist group, the second was about a Corrupt Corporate Executive trying to Take Over the World via a nuclear Kill Sat which is disguised as a part of a network of peaceful communication satellites, the third was an invasion of a peaceful Mediterranean country by its neighbour whose government is The Dictatorship, the fourth was about rogue soldiers in the US military, and the fifth is about finding a traitor within the VSSE. None of these have any real bearing on the gameplay. | |

T-Word Euphemism | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_7170f25a | comment |
T-Word Euphemism: In 4 (arcade version), there's a sequence where you continually (more or less) shoot at a boss while he's wrestling with an ally. As usual, you are being debriefed on the situation by Mission Control via intercom (this is basically a narration of the game script, which is also displayed at the bottom of the screen). For whatever reason, she decides to name the wrestling moves used by the boss. After a few ordinary examples, the script comes up "F—-!" at the bottom of the screen - and she actually yells out, "Eff!" The Japanese version (which had Japanese dialogue for all characters) took it a half-step farther, having Conway go "F-U!" (though she also has an unused "Eff—" in the game's files) | |

Kaizo Trap: Since the time in the original and Project Titan keep running even between action frames, it's possible for the clock to run out after you take down a helicopter or another mechanical boss as its "death" animation plays.

Car Chase Shoot-Out: Time Crisis 2: While not a car chase, the boss of the 1st level has the agents chasing after him in motorboats and dealing with his mooks in the process. Time Crisis 3: The end of the 1st level has our heroes being rescued by a resistance member named Alicia who picks them up in a jeep right before they get blasted by a helicopter. The bad guys give chase, prompting the two agents to defend themselves against the vehicles and said helicopter coming after them. Time Crisis 5: Our heroes chase down Wild Dog on motorcycles, shooting the mooks that try to protect him and eventually ending with Wild Dog using an arm mounted tractor beam to defend himself. | |

Later-Installment Weirdness | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: With the True Mastermind Edition patch, this game has the most stages of any arcade Time Crisis game, at six rather than the traditional three. Unlike the past two games, switching weapons is done by pressing a dedicated button, instead of pulling the trigger while hiding. This game's cabinet has a split pedal, used to switch between positions. It is the only game to feature characters from previous games other than Wild Dog. It is the first game to have a version localized into Indonesian, even text in the gameplay interfaces. This also makes it the first time a Time Crisis game's UI text is available in a language other than English (even the Japanese version has a lot of English text outside of dialogue and tutorials). It is the only main Time Crisis arcade game to use a 16:9 screen rather than 4:3 (Not Counting 4's PlayStation 3 Port). It is the only arcade Time Crisis game with an Expansion Pack upgrade. | |

Played straight in the first game; the pistol you use in the first level is the pistol you'll use all the way until the Final Battle with Wild Dog, despite killing what seems like hundreds of enemy mooks, many of which are armed with machine guns, bazookas, grenades and probably better equipment than your dinky little pistol. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil: In the original, Sherudo Garo was the last remaining heir of the Garo royal family that ruled over Sercia for a millennium. After the regime was toppled by a revolution, he attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government by kidnapping the president's daughter Rachel, demanding the country to be restored to a monarchy in return for her life. | |

A-Team Firing | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_964ea66c | comment |
A-Team Firing: In instalments that offer multiplayer - if only one player is playing or if the game is in solo mode, the unused player character is shown attacking and hiding just like you...but none of his shots will connect. Subverted if the player dies (still in solo mode); during the continue screen, the unused player character will start popping off perfect headshot until you finish slotting your quarters in. Also worth noting: if (while using two players) one player clears out all of his enemies, any enemies that only the other player can hit RETREAT (or get blasted by artillery, as in 3's Stage 1. Yes, this means that one player could embody this trope, get 0 accuracy, and STILL play through the entire game if the other player is good. In single-player, however, watching the COM's screen when behind cover can let you know when it's safe to pop your head out. | |

One-Man Army: Richard Miller's nickname word-for-word in the original and Project Titan. Of course, subverted when the sequels become a two man army albeit with a "solo" option as well (Said option still shows an onscreen AI partner but they tend not to be that useful.) This downplayed the One Game for the Price of Two trope as well. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Most enemies with a few exceptions in each installment have this. In the sequels, however, when they actually do shoot you with a shot that will hurt you, it's marked with a red flash. The exception is in 4, where enemies in the FPS mode are generally very accurate unless there is an object in between William Rush (the player character) and the enemy. To compensate, their weapons generally are weaker and Rush has Regenerating Health. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment: Played straight in the first game; the pistol you use in the first level is the pistol you'll use all the way until the Final Battle with Wild Dog, despite killing what seems like hundreds of enemy mooks, many of which are armed with machine guns, bazookas, grenades and probably better equipment than your dinky little pistol. Subverted in the second game; there are two areas where you can pick up machine guns to use against enemy APCs, but you'll still be relying on your pistol 99% of the time. Averted from the third game onwards, you can switch to machine guns, shotguns and grenades any time you like, as long as there's ammunition for your backup weapons. | |

Always Close: The ending of 2 (The destruction of the prototype rocket crashes into the main rocket and prevents it from taking off), 3 (the heroes uses rocket launchers to destroy the ceiling and prevent the missiles from taking off), and 4 (Rush manages to throw the agents to the top floor where the main console is and they just barely cause the stealth fighters to self destruct just as they're about to fire on New York) as well as Project Titan. Project Titan has a rather hilarious variation; after getting defeated, Wild Dog threatens Richard by enabling his titanium robot army and does an attempted escape in a helicopter. As the robot army is about to ascend in an elevator, Richard shoots the helicopter's rotor, Wild Dog, who's in the aforementioned helicopter, gets taken down when unable to control it and crashes into the titanium robot army which is about to reach the top. | |

For example, Stage 1 is arcade Stage 1 Area 1 at night, and Stage 4 is arcade Stage 1 Area 3 but there are some extra parts of Victor's plane that you pick off and he throws his chain gun at you (damaging you if you don't take heed of the "DANGER" alert and hide) before moving to the last phase of the fight. | |

| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_b3168a4d | comment |
Previous Player-Character Cameo: Starting in 2, the final mission of the home versions of each game's extra mission mode pit you against previous protagonists as the final part of your VSSE training. While 2 plays it straight by pitting you against Richard Miller, 3 and 4 do it a little differently, instead of pitting you against the agents you played as in the main story. 4 also has you fight what appears to be Wild Dog, but is actually Richard disguised as him. | |

Timed Mission: Yep. Though the time limit is only a major problem in the first game. From 2 onwards, it'll usually only run out if you're really slacking off. The Time-Limit Boss nature is exaggerated in the two Rescue Missions of the third game's port, where you're required to shoot down the target in 5 seconds or risk having to retry at the cost of one continue. | |

Color-Coded Characters | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_bb660963 | comment |
Color-Coded Characters: Soldiers in red have precision aim and always connect with their first shot, blue/grey are fodder and orange are bonuses. Similarly, Player 1 characters wear red and Player 2 characters wear blue. By 3 and 4, shooting yellow soldiers rack up additional ammo for weapons aside from the default handgun (a single shot's enough to kill them, but the more you shoot them, the more ammo you get). Also, green soldiers have life bars, i.e. one shot isn't enough to take them out, and enemies in camo gear throw grenades and knives. Most bullets fired at you will be yellow tracers. However, the ones that will hit and damage you in subsequent games are red. The bullets in II or later add swirls if they can hurt you. | |

Let's You and Him Fight: Keith Martin really has no reason to continue fighting the protagonists at 5 beyond the initial engagement (where he's arguably defending himself from you, Robert Baxter and Wild Dog's mercenaries); granted, being in one of Wild Dog's bases doesn't help. He also mentions that he's almost finished cracking the briefcase's lock. Presumably, since you're already attacking him, he's trying to stall for time until he can open the briefcase. Not to mention, Robert probably had no intention of giving him a chance to explain himself. | |

Continuing is Painful: During the continue screen of the first game, the elapsed time keeps running. In the console version, as well as the "Rescue Mission" from 3, you start the area over. In 4, your combo meter resets, making it hard to string combos again, and if you fail a Multi-Screen section, you lose your time bonus for the area. | |

Cliffhanger: The original release ended in one with the protagonists cornering Wild Dog but he manages to send his detachable arm flying away with the briefcase before blowing himself up once more. A group of armed men, possibly Wild Dog's mercenaries, manage to locate it, but are soon wiped out by an unknown assailant wielding a sword who retrieves the briefcase. The game originally ended there, but the later "True Mastermind" edition contained the story in its entirety. | |

These bombs cause the castle to burn. | |

Take Your Time: Inverted: one of the big experiments of Time Crisis was to put continual chronological pressure on the player throughout the entire game, directly contradicting that trope. 4 has two segments that play this trope straight: a sniping segment in Stage 1 Area 2 where you must shoot a truck before it enters a tunnel (which never appears), and the final boss battle, where you must defeat the Big Bad before nuclear missile-armed stealth bombers reach their targets (it's Always Close). | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In Time Crisis 4, Rush will provide the players with extra ammo during the Terror Bites sequences when needed. Likewise in 4. If the player couldn't shoot the truck's wheels in time, Rush will lower the helicopter and zoom in a bit closer for a better chance of shooting the tire. Starting with 2, the time limit resets to 40 seconds for each section rather than just adding a set amount of time. It also stops counting down whenever "WAIT" is on the screen. If the player runs out of lives in Time Crisis 3 and continues the game, the AI partner (In solo play) will automatically shoot all enemies currently onscreen. Upon clearing a stage in 5, the special weapon ammo will be restored to their initial count provided the player has less than 100 machine gun rounds, 10 shotgun shells, and/or one grenade. Also starting with 2, enemy shots meant to hit the player will be shown in red. | |

Bulletproof Human Shield | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_d7e68c39 | comment |
Bulletproof Human Shield: In Stage 3, Ernesto Diaz uses Christy Ryan as a shield, and this will stop any misplaced shot meant for him. Shooting her will not hurt or kill her, but you'll lose 5,000 points for doing so. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: A lot of the home console ports were these. 1: Downgraded in graphics due to being on PS1. But comes with an extra mode where Richard invades a hotel that is in fact an illegal weapons factory that sells weapons to the Wild Dogs. II: Graphics were updated to be less polygonal and came with a shooting gallery and challenge mode. 3: Came with a new mode, Rescue Mission, that focuses on Alicia's side of the story. Considered Nintendo Hard due to the fact it works on the original Time Crisis arcade principal. Meaning you re-start a level if you die rather than continue from where you were felled. 4: The original release featured a mode that focused on Captain Rush, both when he was with the agents (played normally in the main campaign) and what he was doing when he wasn't (played as a usual first-person shooter) | |

Subverted in the second game; there are two areas where you can pick up machine guns to use against enemy APCs, but you'll still be relying on your pistol 99% of the time. | |

Nerf | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: The machine gun and shotgun are weaker in this game, the former doing less damage per hit and the latter having an actual delay between shots. This is to encourage players to use them mainly for Terror Bites, each type of which is weak to a specific alternate weapon. | |

Time-Limit Boss | |
| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_e69173b6 | comment |
The Time-Limit Boss nature is exaggerated in the two Rescue Missions of the third game's port, where you're required to shoot down the target in 5 seconds or risk having to retry at the cost of one continue. | |

| Time Crisis (Video Game) / int_ea92aeb0 | comment |
Concealment Equals Cover: You hide behind some pretty questionable items, such as park benches, vendor carts, and empty barrels. Worse yet, this allows you to hide from all damage, including high explosives and thrown grenades since enemies aim for your head, not your location. | |

Once per Episode: Wild Dog blowing himself up (although it was accidental in the first game) after being defeated. In fact, it is played with in 5 the first time it looks like he's going to do it (with the protagonists taking cover), only for the button to instead activate a Jet Pack. | |

Oddball in the Series: This is the only spinoff in the series to focus on the VSSE. It's also the only one that doesn't have Wild Dog's signature theme song while fighting him. When he's defeated, he doesn't blow himself up; instead, he flies off in a helicopter, only to be shot down by Richard. | |

Project Titan has a rather hilarious variation; after getting defeated, Wild Dog threatens Richard by enabling his titanium robot army and does an attempted escape in a helicopter. As the robot army is about to ascend in an elevator, Richard shoots the helicopter's rotor, Wild Dog, who's in the aforementioned helicopter, gets taken down when unable to control it and crashes into the titanium robot army which is about to reach the top. | |
