Gradius 3 Arcade - Stage 1 - No Miss

Gradius 3 Arcade stage 1 beaten with no deaths and no shield.

Some differences between the arcade version of Gradius III and the SNES version are:

o After you lose all your lives, you *cannot* continue in the arcade version, no matter how many coins you insert. You must start over from the beginning.

o The arcade version has crystal stage but no high speed stage. The boss of the crystal stage is not "Monarch" (as the SNES manual calls it): she's the boss of Gradius II's crystal stage. Also, the SNES version's high speed stage is similar to the one in Gradius II, except that the boss, Beacon, is totally new.

o The arcade version is a *lot* harder. For comparison, granted that I played the SNES version a lot as a child, I find no-missing (beating with no deaths) the entire SNES version on Normal to be much easier than no-missing the 3rd stage of the arcade version.

How do you disable slow down?

@NotRegret Emulators don't emulate it.

You dont need to tell us that the arcade one is a lot harder. you can tell just by watching. Narrower and those weird lion things werent in the SNES.

Your a really good player.

This is the hardest Gradius by quite some distance, even the first level can catch you out. At least the boss is easy

ps. No miss means NO DEATH

[NotRegret]

Q couldnt beat this game. Maybe he could make it to level 4 but thats about it

[Bill307fighting]
