R-Type
Invincibility
- Hold the D-button down in the lower right corner on pad1 while simultaneously
holding the D-button down in the upper left corner and pressing button 1 on pad 2.
Keep the buttons in these positions while turning on the power. Wait until the
screen says "Press Start Button" before releasing the buttons. Start the game
as normal.
Sound Test
- In the "Continue" screen, a countdown starts. Rotate the D-button
counter-clockwise until the countdown stops. The sound test selection screen
appears.
12 Continues
- During the continue countdown (after losing three lives) rotate the D-button
clockwise quickly and the number of credits you have increases to a maximum of 12
continues. Do not let the countdown timer run out, or you will lose all your
continues. If you don't get all 12 continues the first time, you can get the rest
next time. (With this method, twelve is the maximum number of continues you can get,
regardless of the number of attempts.)
30 Continues
- Enter the sound test mode and change the number to 00. Hold down button 2 on
pad 1 and push left on the D-button. The number changes to 95. Push and hold left
on the D-button until the number changes to 62. Press button 1 to play the sound
three times. Then cycle back to 00 and press button 1. When the countdown resumes,
rotate the D-button clockwise to get more credits. Thirty is the most you can get
with this method.
Unlimited Continues
- Enter the sound test mode and change the number to 00. Hold down button 2 on
pad 1 and push left on the D-button. The number changes to 95. Start at 95
and push button 1. Keep selecting each number down to 00 (be sure to pause briefly
before selecting another number). At 00 hold down button 1 until the countdown
resumes. Rotate the D-button clockwise to get more credits. This method allows
unlimited credits.
Super Stage
- At the end of stage 4 (when almost the entire screen is filled with cells,) two
large open areas can be found at the top of the screen. Move your ship into the
first blank area and hit the left wall with the back of your ship (see screen shot
below). This takes you to a secret level. If you complete this level, you go
directly to level 5.

Superstage!
Strategy
- A single super-shot at the slightly different cannon will take out the
entire ring in stage 1. (See screen shot below.)

No Problem!
Bosses
- Krell: Shoot the green face (or shoot a droid there).
- Gomanda: Shoot the eye. A single well-placed super-shot above the
eye can destroy Gomanda. (See screen shot below)

- Mega Battle Ship: Shoot the gray pod at the end (on the top) while
it is open (exposing red interior). Reflecting lasers work well, or try a
carefully aimed super-shot.
- Monpaira: Shoot the green windows. Careful, Monpaira splits into
three.
- Kraken: Destroy all the aliens and shoot the star-shaped object
in the red spot. (The red droid power-up weapon and alien-seeking missles
are great help against this boss.)
- (No Boss)
- Buronko: Shoot the blue window.
- Bydo: Shoot your droid into Bydo's mouth.
- Super-stage Boss: Shoot blue eyes.
Ending
- Thanks to your brave
fighting. The cosmos
restored peace. The Bydo
Empire was annihilated to
never scare people again.
Your name will remain in
the universe forever. Thank
you for playing the game
to the end.
