Sprite Ripping Project 5: _____-em-up!

[Garamonde]

I figured BEMUPS were pretty much kinda like fighting games but set in an adventure style.
So yeah, they're different. Super Smash Bros./Clay Fighter/most any game where characters beat eachother up in a closed environment = fighting game, and TMNT/Batman/most any game where you progress through platforming levels, beating up enemies = BEMUPS.
That's how I see it anyway.
