Ordyne/Round 1

Welcome to the game. Once Yūichirō Tomari and Sunday Chin have appeared on the screen, their ships will start flying forward and two groups of Hanbaga will come zigzagging by. Once you have killed them both and collected the 1000 Crystals they have left behind, two more groups of Hanbaga will come zigzagging by just before Aerial Fortress passes by overhead. Once it has gone, you will have to deal with twenty Heri firing projectiles at you as they appear and four Red Jets firing projectiles at you once their side-mounted guns have stopped rotating. Once you have killed them all, two more groups of Hanbaga will come zigzagging by just before Miyuki Chan's flying store passes by - and when one player enters it, the other will automatically be drawn in as well. The first player will now have 20 seconds to choose between a Stock bomber shot for 5000 crystals, a Wide shot and Speed-up for 3000 crystals, and a Vulcan shot for 2000 crystals; the best choice would most likely be the Stock bomber shot, as it will see Namco's signature character Pac-Man creating a shield around your ship, sucking in all the projectile-firing enemies' shots and spitting them back out at them. Once Yūichirō has paid Miyuki for his chosen special weapon, the pictures on the television screen will change and the second player will have 20 seconds to choose between a Wide shot for 3000 crystals, a Homing missile and speed-up for 6000 crystals, and a Fire bomb for 5000 crystals; the best choice would most likely be the Wide shot, as it is five times more powerful than the normal shots. Once Sunday has paid Miyuki for his chosen special weapon, he and Yūichirō will fly back out of the store and continue onward. A group of Kame will then emerge from the lower half of the cloud and fly directly at you while firing projectiles at you; once you have killed them all and collected the 1000 Crystal they have left behind, another group of Kame will emerge from the higher half of the cloud and fly directly at you while firing projectiles at you just before Aerial Fortress reappears at the bottom of the screen. While you are trying to bomb its roof-mounted projectile-firing cannons, you will have to deal with three groups of six Same jumping into the air and trying to land on you from above just before you come to two more groups of Kame emerging from both halves of the cloud and flying directly at you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have killed them all and collected the 1000 Crystals they have left behind, two more groups of Kame will emerge from the middle of the cloud and fly directly at you while firing projectiles at you just before you have to deal with four more groups of Kame emerging from both halves of the cloud and flying directly at you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have killed them all and collected the 1000 Crystals they have left behind, an eleventh group of Kame will emerge from the higher half of the cloud and fly directly at you while firing projectiles at you; once you have killed them all and collected the 1000 Crystal they have left behind, a twelfth group of Kame will emerge from the lower half of the cloud and fly directly at you while firing projectiles at you just before Miyuki Chan's flying store passes by for a second time. This time, the first player will have to choose between a Speed-up for 2000 crystals, a 3-way shot for 6000 crystals, and an After shot for 5000 crystals; the best choice would most likely be the After shot, as it is ten times more powerful than the normal shots. Once Yūichirō has paid Miyuki for his chosen special weapon, the pictures on the television screen will change and the second player will have to choose between a Speed-up for 2000 crystals, a Stock bomber shot for 7000 crystals, and a Fire bomb for 5000 crystals; the best choice would most likely be the Stock bomber shot, as your partner will have just relinquished it. Once Sunday has paid Miyuki for his chosen special weapon, he and Yūichirō will fly back out of the store and continue onward. Aerial Fortress will then reappear for a second time, and it must be fought as the game's first boss this time - you should try to destroy its front-mounted projectile-firing cannons first, then aim for its core. Once you have hit its core enough times to destroy it, it will capsize beneath the surface of the clouds and you will proceed to the second round.
