Normal Difficulty

USA/World Version (Version 1)

No turbo/autofire was used.

Continues allowed for Any%.

Timer starts when the players gain control of the characters.

Timer ends when the whole screen goes to black, and those words appear: Thanks to you, the world is saved, ending Loop 1, and about to go Loop 2.

Player 1: Athena96 (Brazil)
Player 2: Manticor5 (Chile)

The Arcade version is shorter than NES version, but tuffer (same number of areas in both versions: 5).

One important strat for Arcade mode: All mid-bosses in Danger zones and Palace zones can be easily destroyed by being in a specific position (the left position when Player 1 and/or Player 2 is firing, destroying the Dark bosses).

One head down of the Arcade version: You do lose all the upgrade weapon/power every time you clear the Area (Area 1 to 5). In NES version you keep the upgrade/weapon power after every area, unless you are touched by bullet or enemy.
