The
SNES intro is a little different.....recaps all the former Gradius
games also.
(I don't remember the Salamander monster having such big eyes though?) |

 |
This
is from the SNES special version....same shorter game done for score.
And look! Female moai heads. |

 |
More
people in bubbles....they must take bubble baths to stay clean.
Notice Konami reinventing the Zodiac here as well? |

 |
The
end of the special stage.
This cannot possibly go with comment. I seriously doubt the sanity
of the people who made this:
"Hmm, what'll we make the special stage ending, Yoko san?"
"respectfully suggest a giant purple penguin standing atop
a bomb in space holding a big shiny sign?" |

 |
Whoh!
What's this! A giant moai battleship.....This is a bonus level,
I think. It never stays in the same order, but I still can't figure
out how to get it. |

 |
Something
the SNES version definately has over the PCE version.
The boss of Moai world spits out chess pieces at you. |

 |
Ha,
ha Mr. Easter Island head, go back home.
|

 |
Here's
an extra level on the SNES version, the boss keeps blowing up as
you shoot him (this is not Darius even though he's a fish).
(I wish Taito had made a Padarius series. That would have been great.
Er, maybe - malc) |

 |
Octopii
on the brain these guys. I love the little octiples!!
|

 |
Oops,
sorry mate, didn't know you were in the bathroom. He gets quite
angry with you interrupting his hair washing so he blast lots of
coloured bubbles at you (predictably!) |

 |
SMACK!!!
Depending on which character you use, the ending can be slightly
different!
|

 |
Well, at least it wasn't congratulations again, thanks for that
Konami!
