Exposed to the Elements: Even while in the Ice Age or space, Reika spends the whole game wearing a space bikini.There is no hint of this in the actual game, however. Another time traveler, 16-year-old Reika Kirishima, aka Time Gal, is out to stop him.
Excuse Plot: A time bandit named Luda is going through different time periods in order to make himself leader of the world in his own time.Can also count as Game-Over Man if you're on your last life. Evil Laugh: Whenever Reika dies, there is immediately a shot of Luda laughing his ass off.In some cases, it's possible that Luda convinced people that Reika was evil, but still. Everything Trying to Kill You: No matter what era, what location, what creature, what person, everything and everybody wants.Enemies with Death: The main opponent in 666/999 AD appears to be The Grim Reaper.The End of the World as We Know It: 3001."Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The Japanese version of the Sega CD port has a vocal song, "Exceed the Space Time", performed by the voice of Reika Kirishima, Yuriko Yamamoto.Defeat by Modesty: Some of Reika's "death" scenes just have her losing her clothes.Convection Schmonvection: The very first level has Reika hopping over lava.Clothing Damage: Some of her "deaths" are this.Catchphrase: " Sore!" ("There!"), said by Reika enough times to count.You're my kinda guy! Oh, how old are you? The only deaths that explicity kill Reika off are her disintegrating if she shoots the cavemen and her turning into an angel after her ship is shot by a missile. Most of them also have her turn into a chibi rather than stay an anatomically correct human, presumably to avoid showing a beautiful girl being seriously hurt. Few of Time Gal's game overs explicitly kill Reika off onscreen most simply have her receiving the blow and then gaining either a shocked or exhausted expression. Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Like Ninja Hayate, Time Gal shies away from the gruesome yet comical deaths as utilized in Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.Batman Can Breathe in Space: Reika spends the later stages in outer space.
She travels through time and space fighting in nothing but a bikini and manages to kick butt.
