To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:

- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
(CTRL+C).

- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.

- Paste (CTRL+V) the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you
wanted to be. Just like magic!

My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

Another FAQ for the SMS Completion Project. We hope to achieve? Well, to write
at least 1 FAQ for every game of the SMS console. And with that, I'll let you
with the site of the Completion Project, which is being managed by Games.

- http://glacoras.net16.net/SMS_CP/

Well, this game is so easy that it doesn't really need a FAQ, I don't even
know what I'll be writing about... anyway, all for the sake of the Completion
Project.

There are a few basics for this game. First of all, there are different types
of weapons you can buy at the store. We'll get there in a second. There are 8
stages total. You need to destroy the enemy bases of the stage in order to
fight against the boss. The bosses in this game are easy, with just one hit
from certain weapon and they'll die.

When there's a red circle in bouncing around, that means that's a shop. Touch
it to enter it. There are several upgrades, running from new weapons, to new
engines and wings. The best things to buy are:

- 7 Way Shot
- Turbo Engine
- Heavy Bombs

Just buy that every time you can and you'll be invincible.

Stage #1 sx301
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

Basic pointers are the only thing I can give you here, since you always appear
in a different area of the Stage and the stages are small. There are a total of
6 enemy bases. Shoot as fast as you can and destroy the first one. Pick up the
coin that it drops to receive $1000. The best way to do it is to shoot it with
your "twin lasers" and if you get to close, use your little bombs to destroy
them.

Once you destroy 2, the shop circle appears and touch it to enter it. Buy the
Big Wings, Twin Bombs and some Heavy Bombs. Now destroy the rest of the enemy
bases (use the Twin Bombs) and the boss will start.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This boss is a box. It has a mouth, from which it spits out some bullets. Stay
in the middle of the area and when it opens to shoot, go under the bullets and
keep shooting. Rinse and repeat. Don't even bother using the Twin Bombs,
because it's hard to hit the mouth with them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Stage #2 sx302
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

The enemy bases in this stage are a bit harder, because they take a lot more
hits. As the stage starts, enter the shop and buy a Laser Beam and some more
Heavy Bombs. Equip the Laser Beam and the Heavy Bombs and use the Laser Beam to
take out as many enemy bases as possible. Once it's out, use your normal twin
laser to take care of the rest enemy bases until the boss starts.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Another easy boss and we'll need the Heavy Bombs to take care of it. Position
yourself under the boss. Notice the 3 blue circles going around him. Put
yourself on one side of this circle and use a Heavy Bomb to take care of 2 of
these circles. Use another one to take care of the last one. There... piece of
cake.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #3 sx303
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

This stage is a bit harder. Make sure you keep the Big Wings. Buy the 7 Way
Shot to make things a bit easier. The brown enemies follow you through the
screen, so there's no way to shake them unless you take care of them. Take your
time destroying each enemy base, because we don't wanna lose in this stage.
Whenever the shop appears once again, use it to buy a Laser Shot to destroy the
remaining bases.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Easiest boss so far. You'll see several blue thingies on the left side of it.
Go under them and use a Heavy Bomb to take care of it. Yep, that's all.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #4 sx304
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

Man, this is the easiest stage so far (well, besides stage 1). First of all,
enter the shop and buy some Heavy Bombs, as well as a Laser Shot. Land your
ship, start walking right and shoot like there's no tomorrow. The bases take
more hits than the previous ones. The brown enemies from the previous stage are
here, but don't even bother destroying them, and being on the floor makes it
easier to evade the bullets.

There's also a group of enemies that come from the right and slowly move
downwards. Simply backtrack a little and go over them. This is it. Now onto the
boss.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The boss is as easy as the stage. It looks like a shark. Go on top of it or
the bottom (then one you can) and hit the tongue with a Heavy Bomb to destroy
the enemy.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #5 sx305
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

Alrighty, the snow stage. At the shop, buy all 3 engines and a 7 Way Shot.
When you buy all 4 engines, your primary weapon is infinite, so the 7 Way Shot
is the best option. The bases will go down rather fast with the 7 Way Shot, but
it'll take an eternity with the Twin Shot. The enemies in the stage are pretty
similar to the ones on the previous stage, so you may know them by now.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This boss is annoying. The battle will start with several petit snowmen.
Everyone of them will shot at you, so be careful with this. Behind these, 4 a
little bit bigger snowmen appear, the same shooting at you, only that a bit
faster. Behind 2 snowmen, shooting even faster. At the end of all, Papa snowman
appears. Just shoot it, use a Heavy Bomb if you want and destroy it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #6 sx306
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

Oh man, I'm sorry if this looks very repetitive, but there's really nothing I
can do. In the shop, buy the 7 Way Shot if you didn't buy it earlier. There are
some new enemies that can shoot in 3 different directions at the same time.
Yep. But while you have the 7 Way Shot, they'll go down in a blink of an eye.
When you destroy all the bases, you know the drill.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Yay, a turtle. Shoot the head as fast as you can to have the shell change
color. Stay at the bottom of the screen while you shoot it, so you can evade it
with more ease and you can defeat it ASAP. I don't recommend using a Heavy Bomb
in this boss, because you need to hit the head and it's rather difficult to do
so.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #7 sx307
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 6

This stage is like a recompilation of all the previous stages, having most of
the enemies in this stage. You must know the drill this far in the game. In the
shop, buy as many Heavy Bombs as you can (if you need anything else, buy it
first), because something where you'll need them is coming.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is one big-ass face. When you see its closing in, move to a side and
shoot it. As it's starting to break apart, go in middle of it so it starts
closing again. Rinse and repeat.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Stage #8 sx308
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

o Enemy Bases: 0

Ok, in this stage, you have to defeat all the bosses once again. You already
know how to defeat them, so I'll only list the last boss, which is the only one
you haven't seen.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Ok, it attacks with its "tongue" or something like that. Hit the tip of it to
make it disappear. The first 3 attacks are from the top and should be the
easiest to stop. The 4th one goes up and down. The last 2, go to the top left
corner and when the tongue gets to the left side, it'll go up. Use a Heavy Bomb
to destroy it. Tata! That's all.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Read the ending (where have I seen this before?) and you've completed the
game.
