How to power up
When enemies in formation, a red-marked enemy or specific enemy is destroyed, the
enemy emits a power-up capsule when destroyed. The number of capsules currently
acquired is displayed on the power-up gauge. When the gauge reaches the level enough
for power-up, you can use weapons you want.
·In the manual power-up mode, press the power-up button while the gauge of desired
item is lit.
·In the auto power-up mode, power-up becomes effective automatically when you
acquire a capsule.
How to use the sharpshooting laser gun
When the fighter is equipped with the laser gun, it is possible to emit sharpshooting laser
beam. To emit sharpshooting laser beam, press both the trigger button and the missile
button at the same time and release them after the elapse of certain time. The attacking
power is increased by prolonging the button hold-down time.
