Introduction:

Control Vic Viper once again to fight the Bacterion Empire in this shmup originally released in 1989. I recommend you go to button settings and set "shoot+missiles" to your prefered button with rapid fire enabled. Choosing speed down as the "!" option is the only way to reduce your speed. Option is also the name of the red balls that follows you and shoots both lasers and missiles. The option is the sixth power up, the "?". 

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Reach 400,000 points in any original mode and upload your score to the online rankings.

Play on easy and save often so you can load if/when you die to never lose your power ups. Be sure you are in a safe spot before saving. The Normal missile, ripple laser, four options and force field are a great setup. I prefer to just have two speed ups. At the start of stage 9 this step can be done.

Stage 3 - At the end when the screen stops you can position yourself in the upper left area for safety and let your options do most of the work. 

Stage 8 - At the plant boss i recommend you save before it activates and reload until you kill it in two open mouth phases. dpad_left.png all the time since it will suck you towards it.

You should reach 400,000 points at the start of stage 9. If you didn´t, you will reach it after the six bosses that starts off stage 10. 

At the end of this step you will have earned the following trophies:

Score 200,000 points trophy_silver.png 
Score 400,000 points trophy_gold.png 
Record score trophy_silver.png

Stage 9 - Cubes will come crashing towards you. Try to get most of them towards lower left corner. It is possible to use them as cover after they crash.

Stage 10 - The area with moving lines is pretty tricky, easy to get trapped. Pay attention and time it right. When spider robot comes move to the pocket in upper right corner as soon as possible then down to another pocket when it changes direction. In the area with round rocks moving up and down you should stay to the left, you need space before passing the last ones.


Step 2: Get 7000 points in high score mode and upload your score.

Select high score mode and get 7000 points and upload your score after game over.

At the end of this step you will have earned the following trophy:
