Gradius III/Stage 7

Fire Scramble (Fire Stage)

 * This stage is insanely difficult, mostly because of the fireballs. The fireballs break into three indestructible parts. It wouldn't be bad if one appeared at a time, but that isn't the case, so you have to dodge a lot.


 * The screen will be filled with small fireballs, and at times, dodging them all is impossible, making this the hardest stage in the game. If that wasn't enough, bullet-firing enemies appear, making it even harder.


 * But despite all that, the stage is pretty short. The only real problem with layout is this: Near the end of the level, the pathway narrows, but fireballs keep coming, making them harder, but easier at the same time, to dodge.

Boss A: Wyvern
Wyvern is a easy boss. All Wyvern does is fly around. The weak point is a blue core on the chest.

Boss B: Vulture Dragon
Vulture Dragon appears after defeating Wyvern. He act a lot like Intruder from Salamander, except with two heads. When one head is destroyed, the other head does the work. When both heads are destroyed, you will move on.
