    I've actually read "Rave Master" manga and those big butt guys are ACTUAL characters from that title (Jiggle Butt Gang, I believe) who think of themselves are extremely evil, even though none of the heroes give them the time of day. And the "fart thing" from the game is actually their "ultimate technique" within the story as well, so it's a real adaptation of the manga tropes here :D

    Worms had a pretty good way of punishing slow matches. For those who don't know, Worms is a 2-D turn-based strategy game where you control a team of little cartoon worms, and attempt to kill the other team with interesting (and often funny) weapons like the Holy Hand Grenade.
    Anyway, in most of the games in the franchise, going past the designated time limit will trigger the water level to rise a little with every turn. Every level has water at the bottom of it, and any worm that falls in is instantly killed. Late in a fight, most of the land had likely been destroyed, and players will be struggling to keep their worms on whatever land remains. This may or may not come with the health of all worms dropping to 1, while certain death slowly approaches. To make things worse, the game always makes some little joke about the worm that drowned.
    (The worm's name) sank like the Titanic.
    (The worm's name) is sleeping with the fishes.
    (The worm's name) tried to breathe water.
    You get the idea.

No reviver seeds help with this, whatever your mission is failed and you have to come back later.

    That one health bar fighting game idea isn't bad. You just need a gradually escalating damage multiplier, that's all. Everything does more damage as the timer goes on. Basically a gradually fading-in form of one hit decider. The butt bandits can still come out and fart away the match if nobody's doing anything for too long, though. But they should be punishing tentative overcaution, not genuine back and forth action. This would solve that.

    • @SamJ.J.

      Or have a health bar with an odd number of hitpoints that decreases by 2 every so often, with the extra hitpoint going to whoever lands the first blow. That way there'll never be a stalemate so long as one person gets at least one hit.

Being too young to figure it out, I discovered that if I never moved the space fighter, tiny 4-pixel dots would eventually move slowly toward the fighter. They were lethal on contact and dodged everything you threw at them. Because you're supposed to fly toward the right edge of the screen and the rest of the level, like in Zero Wing.

    Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale has the Will-o'-Wisps. If you spend too long on any floor of a dungeon, they spawn in and chase you down until you make it to the exit, and getting hit by one does a LOT of damage. The difference between them and most of the other examples on this list is that they can actually be fought and killed--and they drop an item that you need for certain crafting recipes! There's an infinite number of them, though, and the longer you stick around, the stronger they get, so it's only a matter of time before they wear you down...

    In Raid on Bungeling Bay (The Commodore 64 version because i never saw this feature work in the NES version) the enemy is building a battleship that will sink your carrier and shoot at you with homing missiles (making the mission way way WAY more difficult) but it's possible to bomb it while its still under construction to prevent it from ruining your day.

By mid game anything longer than a fairly quick run of a floor would start the symptoms of his appearance, and there were even floors with no normal enemies and only Wealth Hands or chests but where the Reaper almost IMMEDIATELY appears, not to mention he's higher leveled than the final boss.
