| In the arcade game, destroying the locks of a hangar makes one of the player's parts appear; the sheet's diagram shows hangars with one to four locks, three of them for the 4th component. Four kinds of formation attack widen the ways of attacking. Two ships fire crescent-moon beams side by side, three in a triangle fire in three directions, four in a diamond spin their beams at high speed, and five in a fan spread them. With all five parts docked the player becomes the invincible Fire Bird for 8 seconds. The sheet names the huge final enemy Mandolar. | PDF p. 1, how to playPDF p. 1, how to playPDF p. 1, how to playPDF p. 2, how to recapture ally componentsPDF p. 2, how to recapture ally componentsPDF p. 2, how to recapture ally componentsPDF p. 2, how to recapture ally componentsPDF p. 1PDF p. 1PDF p. 3, formation attackPDF p. 3, formation attackPDF p. 3, formation attackPDF p. 3, formation attackPDF p. 3, formation attack | Manual |
| On the Famicom the control pad moves the player in 8 directions. On the title screen SELECT moves an arrow; choosing DESIGN leads to the Formation Design pages. START begins the game, and during play it stops the game and restarts it. The B button fires the cannon beam; pressed while docked with parts, the A button splits the ship for a formation attack. A mark at the bottom center of the screen counts the formation attacks left, which recover up to 3 with each part taken back. The arcade sheet has the buttons the other way round. | PDF p. 1, how to play | Manual |
