Xevious 3D/G/Area 1

Welcome to the game. Once both Solvalou have appeared on the screen, three Toroids will come aflying towards you from the left side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a Barra and a Zolbak on the right side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, three more Toroids will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes. Once you have fired shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Barra on the left side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb upon both of them to kill them, three more Toroids will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes. Once you have fired off a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a fourth Barra and a second Zolbak that are in the centre of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to the game's first Powerup Capsule in the centre of the screen with a blue powerup inside it. Once you have dropped a bomb on this Powerup Capsule to destroy it and collected the powerup, four more Toroids will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes and firing projectiles at you - and once you have afired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to four Grobda that are rolling away from you. Once you have dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, four more Toroids will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen, while rotating on their X-axes, and firing projectiles at you; once you have afired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a fifth Barra and a third Zolbak in the centre of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, four more Toroids will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen, while rotating on their X-axes, and firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Grobda that are rolling towards you - and once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you can cause the secret message "NAMCO ORIGINAL CREATED BY K. KENJOH" to appear, if you drop a bomb on the very edge of the river. But regardless of whether you managed to make that secret message appear or not, four more Toroids will now come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing projectiles at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a fourth Zolbak on the right side of the screen, along with a Logram and a Garu Barra on the left side of the screen. The Logram will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have dropped a bomb on each of them kill them, seven Bacura will come tumbling towards you - and as with their three previous appearances, they cannot be killed. The camera will then go directly behind the two Solvalou...

...as an Andor Genesis Mothership flies over them and a Hexa emerges from the pool of water on the left side of the screen to fire lasers at them. Once you have fired enough shots at it to kill it and make it drop down to the ground, you will come to two more Grobda that are rolling away from you; once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to two more Zolbak and two more Barra that are upon the left side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Grobda that are rolling towards you - and once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to a Boza Logram upon the left side of the screen. It will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have dropped a bomb on its central core to kill it, the first five pieces of the two aerial roads ahead of you will fly up into the air while rotating on their X-axes; four Torkan will then come flying towards you from the right side of the screen while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two mobile Domtrises that are generating laser beams on the right side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, four more Torkan will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Domtrises that are generating laser beams on the left side of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, six Shurikens will materialize ahead of you and fly away from you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a second Powerup Capsule in the centre of the screen with another blue powerup inside it - and once you have dropped a bomb on this second Powerup Capsule to destroy it and collected the powerup, you will come to fifth Domtris that is generating a laser beam and a Garu Derota on the right side of the screen. The Garu Derota will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, a barrage of twenty Zakato will materialize ahead of you; and as with their three previous appearances, they will self-destruct and fire projectile at you if you do not shoot them in time, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the old Andor Genesis Mothership that flew over you earlier will come flying towards you while firing projectiles at you. This is the only time you'll have to fight one of these enormous octagonal motherships in this game, so once you have dropped a bomb on all four of its cannons to destroy them, you will have to drop a bomb on its central core to defeat it - and once you have done so, the indestructible Bragza core will escape from the wreckage, and fly away off the top of the screen. The camera will then go directly behind the two Solvalou for a second time...

...as the ground opens up beneath them and Gauru Kdora emerges from it. This enormous silver crab-like robot will attack by trying to stay ahead of the two Solvalou while it is randomly walking around and trying to crush them beneath its six enormous legs, so it is advisable to aim for its aforementioned legs first, which are each worth 3000 points when disabled. Once you have done so, you will have to aim for its main body section - and once you have fired enough shots at the top half of its body to destroy it, you will be awarded 3000 additional points. You will then have to drop a single bomb on its now-exposed core to defeat it; once you have done so, it will explode and you will receive 10000 additional points as indestructible Bragza core escapes from the wreckage and flies away off the top of the screen. Two Sheonites will then appear on either side of both Solvalou while spinning around, then join up, and fly away off the top of the screen - both players will then receive bonus points based upon the percentage of enemies they shot down, along with the amount of time it took to defeat Gauru Kdora.

Sol Locations - Three Sol are located on the left side of the screen just after you start out, and will reveal themselves after you drop a bomb on them; however, if you drop a second bomb on them to destroy them, it will cause the area's fourth Barra to be replaced with a stationary Domtris. Two more are located to the right of the first Powerup Capsule, and will again reveal themselves after you drop a bomb on them - however, if you drop another bomb on them to destroy them, it will cause the area's fifth Barra to be replaced with another stationary Domtris. A sixth one is located on the left side of the river (which you can drop a bomb on the edge of to make the secret message appear), and will once again reveal itself after you drop a bomb on it; but if you drop another bomb on it to destroy it, none of the ground-based enemies will be changed. Four more are located to the right of the Boza Logram, and will yet again reveal themselves after you drop a bomb on them - however, if you drop another bomb on them to destroy them, it will cause the first Domtris to be replaced with a Domogram. An eleventh one is located in front of the area's second Powerup Capsule, and will, for a fifth time, reveal itself after you drop a bomb on it; but again, if you drop a second bomb on it to destroy it, none of the ground-based enemies will be changed. Finally, a twelfth one is located behind the Garu Derota, and will, for a sixth time, reveal itself after you drop a bomb on it - but once again, if you drop another bomb on it to destroy it, none of the ground-based enemies will be changed. The maximum amount of points you can earn from discovering Sol in this area is 48000.
