![]() The player can select from four ships instead of a broad range of several weapon configurations like from Gradius III. Missile, Double, and Laser weapons can be additionally powered up one level, a feature from the MSX Gradius games (the powerup bar even resembles the one from the MSX games). These power-ups are permanent until the player is destroyed, even if he switches between the Double and Laser powerups. There are two new types of shield: 'Guard', which attaches to the top and bottom of the craft and renders the player immune to physical obstacle collisions and 'Limit', which gives complete invulnerability and lasts for three seconds. Jade Knight: Eponymously, every weapon this ship has is tinted green, including the options.Its missile, the spread bomb, is a carry-over from Gradius II. This ship has two different kinds of lasers available: round and pulse. The round laser, the most unusual weapon presented in this game, fires concentric rings of laser origination. Falchion β: This ship's weapons are variations on well known themes.The pulse laser is a two or three pronged burst laser, similar to the twin laser in previous titles. The Falchion has a two way missile called a rolling missile, which tumbles to the ground where it splits and shoots both left and right. It also has a three-way limited range shot called Auto-Aiming, that fires a second shot within the angles of 0 to 180. Its laser weapon is the gravity bullet, which is a newcomer to the Gradius series but is present in several earlier Parodius titles. It is based on the Spread Gun that is yielded by Pentarou in Parodius Da! and every title afterward. Despite the similarity in name, the 'Falchion β' ship in Gradius Gaiden is not based on the titular ship of previous Konami game Falsion. The Brazilian magazine Super GamePower praised the game, giving it 4 out of 5. ![]()
