6-2 HINTS FOR PLAYING THE GAME
● Aim and shoot at the weapons!
If you shoot the enemies’ weapons, they can be defeated with a single shot. Even the large enemies with lots of
strength can be quickly eliminated if you aim at their weapons.
● Defeat enemies with SUPERSHOTS
When you defeat enemy with a SUPERSHOT, your Rage Gauge will ll quicker, and you will receive a higher grade
at the end of the stage. There are three types of SUPERSHOTS: CRACK SHOTS, which are when you shoot an
enemy’s weapon, FAST SHOTS, which are when you defeat an enemy soon after he/she appears on the screen, and
HEROIC SHOTS, which are when you defeat an enemy soon after he/she appears on the screen by shooting his/her
weapon. You’ll get through the game like a pro by making these SUPERSHOTS in succession.
● Complete the tasks!
Various tasks will arise within the stages. If you fail at a task, your health may be damaged or you may be diverted
to a more difcult path. Successfully completing the tasks is the key to better performance.
●If you are low on LIFE, shoot items that will give you more!
When you are hit by enemy attacks, you will lose LIFE, but there are items within the stage that can increase your
LIFE. You will also get more LIFE based on your performance after you clear a stage. Play often to improve your
skills at getting more LIFE. Note that you will not be able to increase your LIFE past the MAX. (See 9-3-4 for
details on the MAX LIFE setting.)
● Make effective use of RAGE MODE!
If you press the RAGE activation button when you have something in your RAGE GAUGE, you will enter RAGE
MODE for the amount of time corresponding to what is left in your RAGE GAUGE. While in RAGE MODE,
the power of your bullets and the automatic ring speed will increase, and you will not need to reload. Use RAGE
MODE if you get surrounded by a large number of enemies or come up against an enemy that you are not good at
defeating.
If you enter RAGE MODE after lling your RAGE GAUGE completely, you will be invincible.
You can ll your RAGE GAUGE quicker by defeating your enemies with SUPERSHOTS. The gauge will also ll
when you are hit by enemy re or acquire items.
● Follow the instructions for defeating bosses carefully!
The way to defeat the boss varies for each stage. Some of them can be defeated by hitting a target with a single shot,
while others have to be shot with a large number of bullets within a certain amount of time. Remember the way to
defeat them and ght them accordingly.
