Phelios/Gameplay

Controls

 * Joystick: Use the 8-way joystick to direct Apollo and Pegasus around the screen; they're always moving forward, but you can direct them anywhere.
 * Firing Button: Use this button to make Apollo fire shots from his sword at the enemies; pressing it lightly will make the sword fire a small fireball, but holding it down charges the sword, and upon releasing the button the sword shoots a bigger fireball. Even the smallest enemies take multiple hits, so that standard shot is of little use - and holding it down after Apollo has collected that "B" powerup for that first stage will also make it fire continuously.
 * 1 or 2 Player Buttons: Push these buttons to begin a 1 or 2 player game.

Apollo (アポロー)
The protagonist of the game; mounted upon the back of his legendary winged horse Pegasus, he is on a mission to save his lover and twin sister Artemis from the clutches of Typhon. He can take up to four hits before dying depending on what the arcade owner has set the "Life" setting in the game's options menu to, and can have up to four shots on the screen simultaneously depending on how many "O" powerups he has collected - but if he is crushed against any wall, or flies into one, the impact will kill him instantly. He will also receive an extra life at 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 points, but this setting can be modified; the four Katakana characters making his name also read as: Aporō.

Item Flies (アイテムフライズ)
When one of these bird-like enemies is killed, he will leave a powerup behind, and announce its name in Japanese from the C140; each of the seven different types of powerups you will encounter in the game has a different letter on it, and here is a list of them and what they do:


 * [[File:Phelios Powerup S.gif]] S: Speed up (スピードアップ, literally Supīdo appu); this powerup will increase the flying speed of Apollo and Pegasus for a short period of time.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup O.gif]] O: Option (オプション, lit. Opushon); this one will cause a beam to appear adjacent to the right side of Apollo's sword, which allows him to have two shots on the screen simultaneously. Up to three of these beams can be adjacent to Apollo's sword, at any given time - which means that he can have a maximum of four shots on the screen simultaneously. However, if he should die, he will lose any Option beams he may have had at the time.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup B.gif]] B: Beam (ビーム, lit. Bīmu); this one is upon the first stage, and allows Apollo to fire enormous beams from his sword for a short period of time.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup A.gif]] A: Across (アクロス, lit. Akurosu); this is upon the second stage, and allows Apollo to fire boomerangs from his sword for a short period of time.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup H.gif]] H: Homing (ホーミング, lit. Hōmingu); this one is on the fourth stage, and will allow Apollo to fire homing shots from his sword for a short period.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup L.gif]] L: Life (ライフ, lit. Raifu); this one will restore one of Apollo's lost "life-hearts" in that bottom-right corner of the screen, or give him an extra one.
 * [[File:Phelios Powerup P.gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup H (S7).gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup E.gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup L (S7).gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup I.gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup O (S7).gif]] [[File:Phelios Powerup S (S7).gif]] P-H-E-L-I-O-S: These ones are only present on that seventh stage; when an item capsule (which looks like an orange bubble) gets destroyed it will leave either one of these or a bonus powerup (the values of which range from 50 to 5000 points) behind. All seven of them must be collected in order to upgrade Apollo's charged shot, which is vital for the final battling with Typhon, as he can only be injured by these upgraded charged shots - and if you miss any of them, you will be forced to crush yourself against a wall, so you can start the section over.
