Solvalou/Area 1

Welcome to the game. Once that text "GET READY!" has appeared in centre of the screen, you will come to a Derota, two Barra, and two Garu Barra on the right side of the screen; the Derota will be firing their projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, three 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 Derota, two more Barra and two more Garu Barra on the left side of the screen - and again, the two Derota will be firing their projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, three 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 fired a shot at each of them to kill them, your gunsight will detect the presence of a Sol if you move it over the right side of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on this first Sol of the game, it will reveal itself to you. Once you have dropped a second bomb on this Sol to kill it, 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 a fifth Garu Barra on the right side of the screen. Once you have moved your gunsight over it and dropped a bomb on it to kill it, eight 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 fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to Boza Logram on the left side of the screen. As with the three Derota, it will attack by firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over its core and dropped a bomb on it to kill it, two Torkan will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen before firing a projectile at you and flying away off the left side of the screen; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, three more Torkan will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen, before firing a projectile at you and flying away off of the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you will come to a fifth Barra and a fourth Derota on right side of the screen - and once again, the Derota will be firing their projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, three more Torkan will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen, before firing a projectile at you and flying away off the right side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a sixth Garu Barra, a Garu Derota, a Domogram, two more Derota and three more Barra on the right side of the screen; the Garu Derota, the Domogram and the two Derota will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped bomb on each of them to kill them, eight more Toroids will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes and afiring projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to three more Domograms, five more Derota, and three more Barra on the right side of the screen - and the three Domograms and the five Derota will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, eight more Toroids will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while rotating on their X-axes and firing off projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, three Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you; if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire off a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Barra, two more Derota, four more Domograms, and a second Boza Logram on the right side of the screen. The two Derota, the four Domograms and the Boza Logram will all be firing projectiles at you - so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, three Zoshi, three more Toroids and three 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, your gunsight will detect the presence of two more invisible Sol if you move it over the centre of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on both of these Sol, they will reveal themselves to you. Once you have dropped a second bomb on both of these Sol to kill them, the music that you are currently hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will fade out to indicate that you have proceeded to the second part of the area.

Once the music has changed to something different, you will come to a ninth Domogram on a bridge above you on the left side of the screen; yet again, it will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over it and dropped a bomb on it to kill it, two Grobdas (which are, for a second time, back on the side of evil) will come sailing towards you from the right side of the screen, while afiring projectiles at you (unlike their appearances in the two previous games, they can actually attack here). Once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to a tenth Domogram on another bridge above you on the left side of the screen - and for a fifth time, it will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over it, and dropped a bomb on it to kill it, three more Grobdas will come asailing towards you from the right side of the screen while firing projectiles at you. Once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Domograms on a third bridge above you on the left side of the screen; for a sixth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, four more Grobdas will come sailing towards you from the right side of the screen while firing projectiles at you. Once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped bomb on each of them to kill them, eight 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 - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to three more Domograms on the right side of the screen. For a seventh time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, two enormous (and indestructible) towers will appear in front of you; once you have flown through the gap between them (flying in to either of them will count as a hit) you will come to three more Derota, on the left side of the screen. For a seventh time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped bomb on each of them to kill them, two more enormous (and indestructible) towers will appear in front of you - and once you have flown through the gap between them (again, flying into either of them will count as a hit), you will come to a second Garu Derota and four more Domograms on the right side of the screen. They will all be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, four more Zoshi will come flying towards you while firing projectiles at you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to six more Derota and a third Garu Derota on the right side of the screen. Again, they will all be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, a group of eight more Torkan will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen before firing a projectile at you and flying off the right side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the music that you are currently hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will fade out to indicate that you have proceeded to the third part of the area. The first Andor Genesis Mothership awaits...

Once the music has changed for a second time, twenty Bacura will come tumbling towards you; and as with their appearances in the two previous games, they cannot be killed, but your gunsight will detect the presence of eight more invisible Sol if you move it over the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on each of these Sol, they will reveal themselves to you - and once you have dropped a second bomb on each of the Sol to kill them, you will come to two more Garu Derota, and four more Derota, in the centre of the screen. Once again, they will all be firing projectiles at you, so once you have amoved your gunsight over them and adropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, a group of twenty more Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you as the text "WARNING!" flashes up continuously at the top of the screen; once again, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, that first Andor Genesis Mothership of this game will come down from the top of the screen as a Japanese speech sample is heard in the background from the C140. It will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over its cannons and dropped a bomb on them to destroy them, you will have to move your gunsight over its core and drop a bomb on it to defeat it - and once you have done so, two more Zoshi and two Terrazi will 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 a pair of double doors which will open up, once you are close enough to them; once you have flown through them, you will come to four more Derota (two on the floor, one on the left wall, and one on the right wall). For a tenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to four more Derota (one on the left wall, one on the right wall, and two on the ceiling) - and for an eleventh time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to four more Derota (all on the floor). For a twelfth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to another pair of double doors ahead of you which will open up once you are close enough to them; and once you have flown through them, you will come to four more Derota (two on the floor, and two on the ceiling). For a thirteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them, and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to four more Derota (one on the right wall, one on the floor, one on the ceiling, and one on the left wall) - and for a fourteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to six more Derota (two on the floor, and four on the ceiling). For a fifteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to four more Derota (two on the left wall, and two on the right wall); and for sixteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to eight more Derota (five on the floor, one on the left wall, one on the right wall, and one on the ceiling). For a seventeenth time, they will be afiring projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, you will come to a third pair of double doors, which will open up once you are close enough to them - and once you have flown through them, your gunsight will detect the presence of two more Sol if you move it over the centre of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on both of these Sol, they will reveal themselves to you; once you have dropped another bomb on both of them to kill them, twenty more Zakato will materialize in front of you and slowly fly towards you. Yet again, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you - so once you have fired off a shot at each of them to kill them, eight more Terrazi 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 eight more Domograms, and a sixth Garu Derota, in the centre of the screen; they will all be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, ten more Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to three more Garu Derota in the centre of the screen - and for a sixth time, they will be afiring projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and 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 fired off a shot at each of them to kill them, four enormous (and indestructible) vertically-moving barriers will appear in front of you; once you have flown over or under them (flying into them will count as a hit), you will come to four more Derota in the centre of the screen. For an eighteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and adropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, four more enormous (and indestructible) vertically-moving barriers will appear in front of you - and once you have aflown over or under them (again, flying into them will count as a hit), you will come to two more Derota in the centre of the screen. For a nineteenth time, they will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over them and dropped a bomb on each of them to kill them, ten more Bacura will come tumbling towards you as ten more Zakato materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you; for a fifth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to an enormous door which will slide upwards once you are close enough to it. Once you have flown through it, ten more Bacura will come tumbling towards you as ten more Zakato materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you - and for a sixth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a second enormous door which will slide upwards once you are close enough to it. Once you have flown through it, ten more Bacura will come tumbling towards you as ten more Zakato materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you; for a seventh time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct to fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired off a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a third enormous door which will slide upwards once you are close enough to it. Once you have flown out through it, ten more Bacura will come tumbling towards you as ten more Zakato materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you - and for an eighth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a fourth enormous door that will slide upwards once you are close enough to it. Once you have flown through it, ten more Bacura will come tumbling towards you as ten more Zakato materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you. For an eighth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct to fire off a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the music that you are currently hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will fade out to indicate that you have proceeded to the fourth part of the area.

Once the music has changed for a third time (back to the song of the second part), four more Terrazi, four more Zoshi, and eight more Toroids will come flying towards you from the left side of the screen while firing projectiles at you; once you have fired off shot at each of them to kill them, ten more Zakato will materialize ahead of you, and slowly fly towards you. For a ninth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, four more Torkan will come flying towards you from the right side of the screen before firing a projectile at you and flying away off the left side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, an enormous (and indestructible) land mine will appear in front of you and try to stay ahead of you for the rest of the area. Once you have flown around this mine (flying into it will count as a hit), another enormous (and indestructible) land mine will appear in front of you and try to stay ahead of you for the rest of the area; once you have flown around this second mine (again, flying into it will count as a hit), the music that you are currently hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 (which, as mentioned above, is identical to that of the second part of the area), will fade out to indicate that you have proceeded to the fifth part of the area. The second Andor Genesis Mothership awaits...and it will also be the last time you have to encounter one in this game.

Once the music has changed for a fourth time (back to the song of the third part), a tenth Grobda will come sailing towards you, while firing a projectile at you; once you have moved your gunsight over it and dropped a bomb on it to kill it, five more Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you. For tenth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired shot at each of them to kill them, your gunsight will detect the presence of five more invisible Sol, if you move it over the centre of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on each of these Sol, they will reveal themselves to you. Once you have dropped second bomb on each of them to kill them, five more Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you; for an eleventh time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire off a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, your gunsight will detect the presence of five more invisible Sol if you move it over the centre of the screen. Once you have dropped bomb on each of these Sol, they will reveal themselves to you - and once you have dropped a second bomb on each of them to kill them, a group of eight more Terrazi will come flying towards you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a fourth pair of double doors ahead of you that will open up once you are close enough to them; once you have passed through them, twenty more Bacura will come tumbling towards you and five more Zakato will materialize ahead of you and slowly fly towards you as the text "WARNING!" flashes continuously at the top of the screen for a second time. For a twelfth time, if you do not shoot them in time, they will self-destruct and fire a projectile at you, so once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the second Andor Genesis Mothership of the game will come down from the top of the screen as a Japanese speech sample is heard in the background from the C140. Again, it will be firing projectiles at you, so once you have moved your gunsight over its cannons and dropped a bomb on each of them to destroy them, you will have to move your gunsight over its core and drop a bomb on it to defeat it - and once you have done so, two rotating pyramids will fly into view on both the left and right sides of the screen, rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise and clockwise respectively, and generate a screen showing the number of enemies that you managed to kill during the course of the area, along with the total number of enemies that had appeared during the course of the area. You will then receive a "Rate Bonus" based on the percentage of enemies you managed to kill during the course of the area, and be shown your next target for the second area of the game. These two rotating pyramids will then join up with each other to form a rhomboid, hover in place for a few seconds, and fly away into the distance. The game will then immediately continue (from where it had stopped a moment ago) but the Solvalou's shields will be restored.
