- Worth noticing
- Its 60-second Boss Rush capture uses a no-loss scripted run and omits Stage 3, whose boss is the giant warship itself.
Field notes
The site documents four additions: simultaneous two-player play, Armour, an eight-stage select for Classic and Armour, and a seven-boss Boss Rush. Its Boss Rush capture is a 60-second continuous run flown by a script chosen for no ship losses; Stage 3 is excluded because its boss is the giant warship itself. The interface retains the game's HUD palette and uses the credit line to show selected rules.
