Bonus section 1 About the strength of your equipment

In fact, this game can be played with a Mission Stick or Shuttle Mouse
(To tell the truth, even with ****).

It can be especially convenient to use the mouse too. Maybe it is better than the pad, don't you think?
For your convenience, these are the mouse controller settings.

A: View Change (Left)
B: Shot
C: View Change (Right)
X: Berserk

It does get better, too. When you press A and C at the same time, it recognises it as X, and berserk mode is activated (this is because of the lack of buttons).
By all means try the mouse, it's good, don't you think?
It may take time for a person to appreciate it (do you think that's a lie, too?)

*About direction of danger*
The on screen radar will change to display yellow and red zones now.
The strength and numbers of the enemy are judged automatically, with the radar divided into four areas which change colour in response to the danger. Quick reaction to the direction of the enemy interference will be useful.

*Knowledge of forked routes*
When passing the position of a fork, that path is displayed so that you have the knowledge to locate that route. "Route 1" is displayed on screen next to the score. "Route 1" is the standard route, to get the route bonus you should not concern yourself with this route. Please use this guide to get the highest points.

Bonus section 3 About scoring

*About ADEC SYSTEM*
This is an outline of the Automatic Dragon and Enemy Control SYSTEM. In other words, if a good person is having difficulty the system will adjust itself.

*Normal score calculation*
Normal shot, lock on laser, berserk laser drop, score calculation is increased.

NORMAL SHOT SCORE = (Enemy strength value) x (shot rate =2) x 10
LOCK ON LASER SCORE = (Enemy strength value) x (number of simultaneous lock ons) x 10
BERSERK LASER = (Enemy strength value) x (berserk magnification=1) x 10

*Boss time bonus*
Bonus points are awarded for boss battle time. The countdown varies for each boss, with the remaining seconds x100 as the standard points. Except in cases where there are more than 60 seconds remaining then 10000 bonus points are awarded as well as the standard points. And, the degree of difficulty also contributes to the boss time bonus. *1*

Boss time less than 60 seconds
BOSS TIME BONUS = (boss time remaining (seconds)) x 100 x (Difficulty)

Boss time more than 60 seconds remaining

*1* I could not get this sentence to work for the life of me! I'd love some suggestions for it.
