1. Introduction/Updates:
------------------------
Darius Twin, is a great Shooter for the SNES, and one of the only flying
shoot 'em up games for the SNES that allows 2 player simultaenous play!
Plus the music rules (especially Planets A, J, K, and L!) There isn't a
FAQ, so I decided to write this...
V1.0 - 6/30/02 - FAQ is finished...
2. Controls:
------------
Arrows - Move around the screen
Y - Shoot, hold down for rapid fire
B - Use missiles
For best results, hold down Y+B the entire game (Unless you have rapid-
fire turned off on the Options menu...)

B: R-G-(M)-*Y
C: B-G-(M)
D: G-B-RO-G-G-G-B-B
E: B-O-B-G-(*M)-*Y-R-B-R-G-G-B-B
F: R-(M)-*R-B-B-G-O-G-B

J: *R-B-RO-O-B-Y-B
K: RO-B-B-*Y-B-O-G
L: None, just a multitude of Mini-Bosses!
To get the best weapon, grab the first RO on Planet D, but skip the one
on Planet J/K. This will make sure by the end of the game, you'll have
the wave weapon, which cuts through enemies with ease!
4. Bosses
---------
Boss of Planet A (Orga) - HH02 Killer Higia
He'll come down form the top of the screen and 'aim in' on you. Stay
near the middle/back of the screen and fire away, avoiding the
projectiles.
Boss of Planet B (Dantu) and C (Koloba) - EP30 Emperor Fossil & QU10
Queen Fossil
Kill the Queen first! If you finish off the king first, the queen
will continue to shoot hard-to-avoid projectiles.
Boss of Planet D (Lankus) - BD4Z Demon Sword
Taito snuck in a reference to one of their older games... Very cute.
Anyways, stay near the back/middle of the screen and fire at its claws.
Once they are blown off, continue to shoot at its body.
Boss of Planet E (Padi) and F (Rear) - G0N1 Dual Shears SP (E is Red, F
is Blue/Grey)
Stay near the back/middle of the screen and shoot off it claws. Once
they are gone, continue to shoot at it. Once it's back blows off, it'll
die in a second.
Boss of Planet G (Narukini) and I (Kaudo) - ZZ10 Dark Coronatus (G is
Dark Grey, I is Dark Purple)
The best place to go is behind him, and use your missile weapon to
hit his weakspot, which is only vulnerable when he shakes his head and
opens his stomache.
Boss of Planet H (Sabia) - ASP7 Red Mist
Boss of Planet J (Noemu) - MX04 Full Metalshell
This boss isn't hard, but want a way top increase your score by a
ton? See the small turtles he tosses at you? Each one is worht a
whopping 30,000 points each, and he shoots 8 a time! Avoid the head of
the turtle and fire away at the babies and watch your score go up and
up!
Boss of Planet K (Horolain) - GG0D Hyper Greatthing
This boss has new music! He isn't anything special though, just go up
and down avoiding everything he throws at you and keep firing away!
Boss of Planet L (Darius) - LC40 Super Alloylantern
Once you reach him, aim for the top of its head and destory it. Soon,
the boss goes under you, and soon you'll be under him. The next target
is the motor. Keep shooting at it until it stops. You'll then be in
front of its face again. Just fire away at its face!
Final Boss - FH10 Great Tusk
This boss is incredibly easy! Just aim for the head, while shooting
the 3 balls he shoots at you. Afterwards, you'll get an ending depending
on what mode you are on (Easy or Hard). There is a 3rd ending though...
Check below to see what it is...
5. Secrets
----------
(From Gamewinners and NP #33)
(Ending #3 by me)
*49 lives - On the Game Start/Option screen, hold L+R on Controller 2,
Select on Controller 1, and then press start on Controller 1 while
holding all the buttons down.
*No enemies during demo mode - Enter ZTT as your high score initials.
Too bad it only affects the demo, though...
*No damage on Planet A - Place your ship above the last three digits of
the score in the first level. No enemies will hit the ship until the
Boss appears.
*Ending #3 - Today, I beat normal mode, and got a new ending. It first
showed a congratulations screen which fades out fast (so I couldn't read
the whole thing), then it shows 2 darius ships circling a big cartoon
blue star that has "Darius" in the middle and more cartoon stars are
going upwards in the background. The credits will roll, too. I will
figure exactly how to get this ending ASAP...
