- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Maintenance Code : in test mode, enter this code...
8-1-6-5-0 Maintenance Mode
0-1-9-9-9 Secret Command Enabled (X-36 is available by pressing 'Up' on random box).
8-1-6-3-0 Secret Random Enabled (X-36 is available on Random Box with luck).

* Technical Bonus : each boss, excluding the last one, has a weak point called 'the core' that is exposed outside for some few seconds. When the player airplane gets close to it at a fixed distance, it turns red. It is possible to defeat the boss quickly by attacking intensively the core at that point in time. The Technical Bonus is added if you destroy the core.
* Super Shot : when an enemy plane is shot the energy accumulates in the level gauge. When there's enough energy accumulated in the level gauge the super shot can be discharged by pressing continously the shot button. While the super shot is discharging the energy of the level gauge keeps decreasing. When energy becomes 0 the super shot stops being able to shoot. In Strikers 1945 III a cancellation function was attached to the super shot so the energy at the level gauge can be preserved.
