No Celebrities Were Harmed: The princess in the PS2 game is unmistakably modeled after Britney Spears.No Name Given: In the Japanese version, the hero is only referred to as "The Legendary Warrior".Nintendo Hard: There used to be an actual YouTube video titled something like "Rygar gameovers", which basically had a playthrough with a long list of deaths, from falling into a pit on the worldmap to getting killed one way or another.The 3D game gives different varieties of Diskarmor which have different attack patterns, from carving slow, broad arcs through the air to clinging very close to Rygar's hand to cause quick combo damage. Killer Yo-Yo: The Diskarmor is a genuine weapon form of this, effectively being a shield at the end of a chain.Bizarrely, the English version does not change the villain's name, meaning it has both a "Rygar" and a "Ligar". Japanese Ranguage: The English version names both the game and the protagonist "Rygar" (he is nameless in Japan), which is one way of reading the villain's name in the Japanese version, the other being "Ligar".Beware as you progress through the game, Death moves increasingly faster. Invincible Minor Minion: Death is the indestructible being that comes after you when your timer runs out.Improbable Weapon User: The Legendary Warrior's Diskarmor, which is replaced in successive playthroughs of The Legendary Adventures with various types of pizza or guitars, respectively called "pizzarmors" and "guitarmors".In the ending, it's revealed he will live on with Princess Harmonia as Caesarion. Once she learns the truth, though, she asks Rygar to kill her before Cronus can take over her body. When she's made to think he was killed, she does a Heel≯ace Turn to become Echidna, Titan leader. Historical Domain Character: The Legendary Adventure revealed that that version's Rygar is actually Caesarion, the assumed dead son of Cleopatra.The Arcade version contained a power-up that let him kill them rather than just stunning them. Goomba Stomp: In the arcade and NES games, Rygar can stun enemies by jumping on their heads.


Genre Shift: From straight action side-scroller in the arcade, to 2D Metroidvania for the NES, to 3D Metroidvania for the PS2 and Wii.Foreign Re-Score: Most of the music in the NES version was replaced for the English release, for whatever reason.Flash of Pain: Both the enemies and the player in the NES version flash when they're hit.The PAL version of the NES game has significantly lower caps than the NTSC one.International versions of the Arcade game removed some of the hidden power-ups from the Japanese version.Deadly Disc: The Diskarmor is a dangerous disk attached to a retractable rope.

Beating the game on Legendary difficulty will unlock the Sushiarmor, which makes the diskarmor look like a plate of sushi.Beating the game on Hard with an A rank will unlock the Hambuarmor (makes the Diskarmor look like a hamburger).
