Yuichiro Tomari (泊裕一郎)
The genius scientist who flies a red ship and is controlled by the first player.

Sunday Chin (サンデー珍)
Yuichiro's Chinese assistant. He flies a green ship and is controlled by the second player.

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. 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, 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. If you managed to get the After shot from Miyuki Chan just before it appeared, you can kill it before it even manages to do anything. The projectile-firing cannons on the front can all be destroyed in one hit with the After shot, and the core can be destroyed in five.
 * Round Clear Bonus: 3000
 * Round Clear Bonus Crystal: 5000

Ropera (ロペラ)
They appear on the second round and attack in groups of six, coming down from above and up from below while flying straight at Yuichiro and Sunday. When all six have been killed, they will leave a 500 Crystal behind.

Juden Iruka (放電イルカ)
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 and fourth 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 straight at Yuichiro and Sunday once they have reached their level.

Blue Tanks (青タンクス)
They appear on the second, fifth and seventh rounds and attack by firing homing projectiles at Yuichiro and Sunday.

Wani (ワニ)
They appear on the second and seventh rounds and attack by homing in on Yuichiro and Sunday in an attempt to eat their ships. When one is killed, he will leave many crystals behind.

Rotary Maze Cannons (回転迷路の大砲)
They appear in the rotary mazes on the second and seventh rounds, and attack by firing projectiles 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. You probably won't need a special weapon to defeat him seeing as his fireballs can be blocked and he can be defeated in 50 hits with the normal shot. 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.
 * Round Clear Bonus: 5000
 * Round Clear Bonus Crystal: 10000

Shots

 * Vulcan shot (バルカンショット): Fired from Yuichiro's (or Sunday's) ship at a faster rate.
 * 3-way shot (3-WAYショット): Fired from Yuichiro's (or Sunday's) ship in three directions.
 * Wide shot (ワイドショット): Five times as powerful as normal shots.
 * After shot (アフターショット): Ten times as powerful as normal shots and fired continuously from both the front and back of Yuichiro's (or Sunday's) ship.
 * Stock bomber shot (ストックボンバーショット): Pac-Man sits on the front of Yuichiro's (or Sunday's) ship, creates a shield around it, sucks in all the enemies' shots and spits them back out at them. The more shots he sucks in, the bigger he gets and the more powerful the shots he spits out will be. Only one player may have this special weapon at any time.

Bombs
You get five bombs with every purchase.
 * Fire bombs (ファイヤーボンブズ): Create a huge explosion upon impact.
 * Homing missiles (ホーミングミサイルズ): Automatically home in on any enemies currently on screen.
 * Subroc bombs (サブロックボンブズ): In order to obtain these on the third and fourth rounds, you will have to be playing as Sunday Chin (player 2). They fly into the air and create a small explosion upon impact.

Others
These are technically not weapons.
 * Speed-ups (スピードアップス): Will increase the speed of Yuichiro's (or Sunday's) ship for a short time.
 * Extra lives: Extra lives can be obtained in exchange for crystals in this game, as well as the usual accumulation of certain point values.
