Kana Aibara (相原香奈)
Yuichiro's fiancee. She has been kidnapped by Dr. Kubota, so Yuichiro and Sunday are out to rescue her.

Dr. Kubota (Dr. クボタ)
The antagonist of the game. He has kidnapped Kana Aibara, so as to get Yuichiro and Sunday out to rescue her. At the end of the seventh round, he appears as the game's final boss in a powerful dog-like machine. The image you see on the left is Dr. Kubota as an angel going to heaven after being defeated.

Miyuki Chan (みゆきちゃん)
A blue-haired woman who sells special weapons and extra lives in exchange for crystals at her flying store.

Dream Co., Ltd.
A robot who encourages Yuichiro and Sunday to shoot at his rotating target in exchange for crystals to win even more crystals or a special weapon.

Crystals (クリスタルズ)
These can be obtained in four ways: by killing a group of smaller enemies, by killing some larger enemies, through Dream Co., Ltd., and by clearing a round.

Hanbaga (ハンバーガー)
They attack in groups of five, move in a zigzag pattern and appear on the first, second, fourth and sixth rounds. When all five have been killed, they will leave a 1000 Crystal behind.

Heri (ヘリ)
They appear on the first, second, fourth and fifth rounds and attack by homing in on Yuichiro and Sunday and firing projectiles at them.

Red Jets (赤飛行機)
They appear on the first and sixth rounds and attack in a straight line. When their side-mounted guns stop rotating, they will fire projectiles at Yuichiro and Sunday.

Kame (カメ)
In the first round, they will attack by coming out of the clouds in groups of five and flying straight at Yuichiro and Sunday. They will also fire projectiles at them. When all five have been killed, they will leave a 1000 Crystal behind. In the sixth round, however, they serve a rather different purpose (more on that later).

Same (サメ)
They appear on the first round and attack by jumping into the air in an attempt to land on Yuichiro and Sunday.

Aerial Fortress (空中要塞)
It appears at the start of the first round, coming down from above in an attempt to crush Yuichiro and Sunday. Later in the round, it will come up from above, firing projectiles at Yuichiro and Sunday. Try to bomb as many of its projectile-firing cannons as you can here. At the end of the round it must be fought as a boss. Try to destroy the projectile-firing cannons on the front first, then aim for the core. It reappears at the start of the sixth round (but not as a boss), rotates around the screen and fires projectiles at Yuichiro and Sunday from all around.
 * Round Clear Bonus: 3000
 * Round Clear Bonus Crystal: 5000

Ropera (ロペラ)

They appear on the second round and attack by dropping down from above in front of Yuichiro and Sunday to fire projectiles at them. When one is killed, he will leave a 500 Crystal behind.

Kiwi (キウイ)
They appear on the second, fourth and seventh rounds. When Yuichiro and Sunday approach the bases, they will open and the Kiwi inside will be released in groups of four. They will fly directly at Yuichiro and Sunday once they have reached their level.

They appear on the second, fifth and seventh rounds and attack by firing projectiles in five directions at Yuichiro and Sunday.

Fire Turtle (ファイヤートータス)
The boss of the second round. He will come up out of the lava and shoot fireballs at Yuichiro and Sunday while hovering in place. After this, he will curl up into a ball and fly around the screen, still shooting fireballs at Yuichiro and Sunday. His fireballs can be blocked by Yuichiro and Sunday's shots. After being defeated, he will shrink and fall back into the lava. By catching him, you can get a random amount of bonus points from 1000 to 5000. He reappears in the sixth round, but is blue instead of orange and is much faster than before.

 * Round Clear Bonus Crystal: 10000

Power Station (パワーステーション)
The boss of the third round. It will move up and down, spewing fireballs at Yuichiro and Sunday, which can be blocked by their shots. Its weak points are the balls in its rotary mechanism. Don't take too long over it, because if you do, it will start moving to the sides as well! It reappears on the sixth round, but spews out Kame instead of fireballs (that's their other purpose), which will fly directly at Yuichiro and Sunday once they've reached their level. It can also go all the way to the top of the screen.

The boss of the fifth round. He doesn't move, but occasionally opens his mouth to spit out amoebas at Yuichiro and Sunday. After being defeated, all amoebas on screen will turn into 100 Crystals, while his top half will jump into the air and explode, releasing hundreds of crystals.
 * Round Clear Bonus: 20000
 * Round Clear Bonus Crystal: 20000

Perikan (ペリカン)
They appear on the sixth and seventh rounds and attack by opening their fronts and firing homing missiles at Yuichiro and Sunday when they see them. When one is killed, he will leave many crystals behind.

Maiku (マイク)
The final boss of the sixth round. He is protected by a spinning barrier of balls similar to those in Power Station's rotary mechanism, which must all be destroyed before Yuichiro and Sunday can get a clear shot at him. He will fire missiles at them as they try to do this, and once they have all been destroyed, he will start ricocheting around the screen, firing lasers from all directions.
