Einhander
Bonus Ships:
If you beat the game on easy without continuing or earn 15 skill bonuses, you'll
get a new ship to select. It looks like one on the flying cars in the first
area. If you beat the game on hard without continuing you'll get a ship that has
9,999 for the gunpods it finds or has equipped.
Defauly Gunpod Weapons:
This will let you begin the game with gunpod weapons. First start the game and
get to a point in the game where you can buy gunpod weapons. Then you must
intentionally die and use all of your lives. Let the Continue Counter go to zero
and then it will say Game Over. Then start a new game and after you select your
ship you will be able to choose from a number of gunpods. The gunpod number you
choose will now be in your standard default weapons even if you die.
Gallery Mode:
To unlock Gallery Mode beat the game at any difficulty.
Hidden Weapons:
Juno:
Has the rate of fire of a Vulcan and the power for approximately a normal
gunshot per bullet.
Stage 1- Gain all 3 skill bonuses (destroy all gun carriers until neon signs,
then destroy red carriwe after signs, destroy all neon signs, destroy only
bottom saucer section of mid-boss) When you reach the cross do not attack him as
normal. Instead wait for him to move toward you (with the side-scrolling view)
One of his attacks is a gun pod form his back. Ince in every 10 or so time, this
weapon is the Juno.
Stage 4 - A large boat will pop out of the water. Destroy the body only. The
tower will fly off. Dodge and kill this tower before it leaves the screen . It
will drop the Juno and give you a skill bonus.
Flash:
Similar to the Cannon can kill any non-boss enemy in fewer than 3 shots.
Stage 3- After spider mid-boss destroy the large pylon at the top of the screen
and then destroy every item that falls from it. Use a Juno or Vulcan for greater
success. This will award a skill bonus and the Flash.
Stage 5- Take apart the id-boss piece by piece before killing him. This earns
the Flash and a skill bonus.

stronger than the Wasp's missiles.
Stage 4- At the small mazelike section, move as quickly as possible down the
tunnels and pick up the Spreader on the way. Switch the Spreader to your top
slot. A couple of floors straight down will be an enemy and a set of barrels
directly behind you. Destroy the barrels to get the Mosquito.
