Valkyrie no Densetsu/Stage 1

Welcome to the game. Once Valkyrie and Sandra have appeared on the cloud in the centre of the screen, they will approach the female angel standing before them - who will speak the Hiragana text "しあわせをうんだおおごんのたねがいまはひとびとをくるしめていますどうが, あなたたちのちからでちじょうをすくっていください" to them before they proceed to walk around her and jump off their respective sides of the cloud, descending several thousand feet to the ground below like Apollo did inn Phelios.

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have landed on the ground, start walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as nine Brown (Black-Bearded) Tatta come walking towards you while throwing their boomerangs at you; once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will leave a small coin (worth five in gold) behind. Once you have collected them all, three Brown Fly Drills will come flying towards you in a curved line from the left side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will also leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected them all, jump onto the first lily pad in the swamp and fire a shot from your sword or trident at a Kamaeru Man that is jumping out of the swamp to stick its fist-like tongue out at you on the left side of the screen (which will not leave anything behind when killed) before jumping onto the second lily pad in the swamp and firing a shot from your sword or trident at another Kamaeru Man that is jumping out of the swamp to stick its fist-like tongue out at you on the right side of the screen (which will, like the first one, not leave anything behind when killed).

You must then jump onto the third lily pad in the swamp and fire a shot from your sword or trident at a third Kamaeru Mann that is jumping out of the swamp to stick its fist-like tongue out at you on the left side of the screen (which will, like the other two, not leave anything behind when killed) before jumping onto the fourth and final lily pad in the swamp and firing a shot at each of three more Brown Fly Drills that are flying towards you in a curved line from the right side of the screen; as with the first three, they will each leave a small coinn behind when killed, so you will have to drop into the swamp and swim around it for a while if you wish to retrieve them while watching out for any Sochikisu (which will also leave a small coin behind when killed) emerging from the bottom of the swamp to bite you if you wallow inn it for too long. Once you have collected them all, jump out of the swamp to land onn another platform and continue walking forward until you come to a Red Demon whipping a tied-up young woman with a strap - and once he has seen Valkyrie and Sandra, he will stop whipping her and speak the Hiragana text "ごじょうながきだ. たねはどこだ? おまえらはなんだじゃまするやつはようしゃしないぞ" to them before proceeding to kick the tied-up young woman off the left side of the screen and generate seven copies of himself around Valkyrie and Sandra.

Once they have fully materialized, all eight Red Demonns will dance around Valkyrie and Sandra in an anticlockwise direction while spitting fireballs at them; once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them (as with the Kamaeru Men, they will not leave anything behind), walk to the left by pushing the joystick into the "western" position and jump over the edge of the platform to land on a third platform onn which the tied-up young woman is lying unconscious after being kicked off the left side of the screen by the first Red Demon. When you push your Firing Button to speak to her, she will come to and speak the Hiragana text "ありがとう! おねえちゃんおうちにきて!" to Valkyrie and Sandra before proceeding to skip to the left over the swamp, creating a bridge forr you to cross as she does so. Once she has reached a fourth platform on the other side of the swamp, she will disappear into a small hut - and you can follow her inn.

Once Valkyrie and Sandra have reappeared inside the hut, the young woman will be nowhere in sight, but a slightly older woman will be standing in front of them. She will speak the Hiraganna text "まーまーなんとれいをいっていよいが. おれいにひかりのけんをさしあげますむらはずれのばばさまをたすけてください" to them before granting them a more powerful shot for their sword and trident. Valkyrie and Sandra will thenn proceed to exit the hut and reappear outside itt once the stage proper has resumed.
