Play
as Ellen McNichol:
Focus the game play with Ken. Every time you see Albert, shoot him down. Try
shooting him down in every mission. If done correctly, Ellen will be
unlocked for the space missions. Ellen has planes such as the Bird Of Prey.
You must shoot Ellen and Albert
down in the missions The Gale, Doll Master, Navarone Campaign (Wind Valley),
Operation Skyscraper, and Meteor Structure. You do not need to play the
entire game as Ken -- only the missions that were listed. Also, doing stand
by missions is not recommended.
Bonus
planes:
Successfully complete the game and save when prompted. Use that saved game
to continue a new game. Successfully complete the Blue Wing Knights mission,
then choose another mission. Press Square at the aircraft selection
screen to choose from the Vic-Viper and other bonus planes. The Vic Viper
has a longer range machine gun that can destroy an enemy plane with one hit.
Other bonus planes such as the TwinBee, MX5000, Falsion, Blue Thunder M-450,
Manbou-J, Flint-Rock, Aura-Wing, Jerry Mouse, Block Shooter, Super Fighter,
Penta, Axelay, and Poly will also be unlocked, depending on how well you
performed in your cleared saved game. You can clear the game on the same
file repeatedly to unlock more planes.
Completion
bonuses:
Successfully complete the game, then start another game with your file to
begin with all airplanes (including bonus planes), medals, money, stats, FMV
sequences, and replay levels that were previously unlocked. You can also
view all the characters in a gallery.
Hint:
Easy money:
To earn double money, kill enemies using the machine gun (not missiles or
bombs). You can use those weapons to damage enemies, but the last hit must
be delivered by the machine gun. Some air enemies will give more than double
the money. When you finish the mission you will see the scoreboard, showing
the enemies you killed with the machine gun with double of the money than
normally awarded.
Hint:
Skull Medal: Get shot down over thirty times.
Hint: Gradius
reference: Play an Earth mission with the Vic Viper to hear music from level

from Gradius 2.

Self-destruct in the Vic Viper:
