@SuperHeroR Ah. That is where you are wrong. I've tackeled bonus stages with al of the preset weapon settings and a majority of the edit combonations (except for S. Option. It's retarded IMO) and I'm not one of the best Gradius players neither. The trick is simply taking advantage of option and weapon sets.
I don't think the bonus stages are doable with certain weapon set-ups. Regular option, you'd be asking for Death. Also, Double, and Twin are the best in the bonus stages.
Ok, Time for the Gradius master to give some of his tip!!!
OK, so whent you are at the end of the second level (the bubble stage). You can see that there are two hole, one on the sealing and one on the floor. There will be Robots in a bubble chasing you.
Enter the hole on the floor and Voila! Bonus levle!!!
(PS: The robots are comming out from the hole so it hard not to crash in one of them.)
And if you die, you cant go back. And the bonus levle is hard to get thru.
@English1stud aye u 4got da last boss bonus stage! instead of fightin Bacterian, let 1 of his purple shots hit u... I think it's da 1 in da middle u gotta let hit u & then u'll get a bonus stage, lol...
You know, on stages 2(acid illusion), 3(underground), 4(Easter stone), 5(Fire Scramble) and 7(Speed-up zone)... You could encounter a secret bonus stage... There was video showing the other bonus levels...
On the bubble stage towards the end, look at the bottom screen. There will be a gap/hole with "bubble crabs" coming out of it (the things that look like crabs in green bubbles) Dive right into the hole and everything should disappear and it should take you to the bonus stage
I usually use Hawk Wind, Up Double, Twin Laser, Formation or Rotation Option, Reduce Shield, and Full Barrier.
