Continue 1
- To continue, hold the D-button down and to the left and push button 1 when
"GAME OVER" appears on the screen. This will allow 3 continues. (Listed in
instruction book.)
Continue 2
- You can also continue by pushing the D-botton up, up, down, down, left, right,
left, right, down, up, down, up when the words "GAME OVER" appear on the
screen. This will allow 9 continues.
Sound Test
- During the title screen, push the D-button right, left, down, up. This may
require several attempts.
Options
- While in the sound test, make the following selections in this order:
7, 4, 3, 7, 4, 8, 1. An options screen will appear that will allow you to
change the level of difficulty, the down/up controls, and your character.
Note: Neither the human nor the jet appears to have any advantage in gameplay.
Bonus Stage
- If, in either bonus stage, you succeed in hitting five or less objects, a
space ship will fly across the top of the screen. Shoot it and you will get
10,000,000 points and an extra life.
Strategy
- When fighting bosses, try flying around the edge of the screen in a
circular fashion.
Hints
Provided your character is at the top of the screen, you can safely fly over
Incaic poles, Towers of Control and Inhabited Towers (but only in the default
skill level, easy).
Stage 9
The Dom at the end of stage nine can only be destroyed when its color
changes to green.
Underground stages
In the underground stages (4, 9, 14), the game moves faster. It might be
advantageous to ignore the mukadense's and concentrate on dodging the Towers
of Doom and Binzbeans. Each wave of Binzbeans alternates between being on
the ground and in the air.
Final Boss Demo
- In the title screen, wait until the music is about to end (for example,
when you hear the firing noise). On control pad 2, press and hold the
D-button left. The Haya Oh demo appears. (It is not very helpful for learning
strategy, however, since the player is killed almost immediately.)
Secret Message
- Enter ERI for your initials in all seven top scores and the following message
appears:

Prologue
Once upon a time there
existed a beautiful
utopia located far, far
beyond the most distant
galaxy of the universe called
"DRAGON LAND."
It was a peaceful world
brimming over with life
and light. Then suddenly
in the space year 6226,
a dastardly scheme
carefully orchestrated
by the evil one was
unleashed on this land
which had once been a
"GARDEN OF EDEN."
Supernatural phenomena
became rampant
throughout the
devastated planet and
barbaric and evil
creatures could
literally be seen
roaming everywhere.
Although everything
imaginable appeared to
have been destroyed on
"DRAGON LAND", the only
living thing that
continued to resist the
forces of evil was
URIAH, a friendly
dragon. He was nearly at
his wits' end in his
unrelenting search for a
savior, when lo and
behold, a fighter from
Earth with superhuman
ability and physic
powers heard his plea
for help and arrived on
the scene to help save
the day.
Now with the whole
universe as your
audience, a legendary
battle that is surely
destined to be passed
down to future
generations is about to
unfold.
WELCOME TO
THE FANTASY ZONE

Congratulations
You win
Uriah
THE
END
Space Harrier Saga
Epilogue
The battle has ended in a
resounding success. Every
single barbaric creature
has been eliminated from
Dragon Land and the
menacing shadow of the
evil one can no longer be
seen.
Never again will the
planet fall victim to the
invasion of a mad ruler.
Peace has been restored
and the land that once
abounded with death and
devastation will soon
become alive and
overflowing with greenery
and animals of every
description.
Yes, the victory was
certainly a decisive one.
But what of the mysterious
flying citadel? Why did it
inflict such destruction
on Dragon Land?... What if
its aim was not merely one
of carnage, but instead
constituted only part of a
master plan of intrigue?
With the undying gratitude
of Uriah, the gallant
warrior disappears towards
another troubled spot in
the universe.
Thus, the first chapter in
the "Space Harrier Saga"
comes to a close, but not
for long.
Up ahead, awaiting our
hero, is another life and
death battle in his never
ending crusade to liberate
those who yearn to be free.
