Gradius 2 final.boss
If Laser is chosen while Double is being used, Double will be lost. The Vic Viper cannot have Double and Laser at the same time. In later Gradius games, it may fire in a different direction depending on a choice made by the player before the game starts. In the original Gradius, this second gun fires at a 45 degree angle up and to the right.
DOUBLE: This power up adds a second projectile weapon identical in power and firing rate to the standard gun.Most Gradius "missile" weapons are a variation on this concept. In the original Gradius, the weapon is a missile that fires downward and to the right, travelling along the ground. Arcade versions of Gradius games usually have a separate button for firing this projectile, while home console and computer versions usually use the same button for both this and the primary projectile weapon. MISSILE: This power up adds a secondary projectile weapon.In Gradius V, after five Speed Up's, you are given the option of InitSpeed which returns the speed to its original state. In Gradius III, the player could select "Speed Down" as their "!" power-up. There are sometimes ways to counteract this. This power up may be triggered multiple times to achieve greater speed, but there is a danger in increasing the speed too much, resulting in a lack of precise control needed to avoid collision with terrain or enemy characters. SPEED UP: This power up increases the speed of the Vic Viper's movement usually needed at the beginning of the game or when restarting an area after the Vic Viper has been destroyed, because the initial speed of the Vic Viper is much too slow to comfortably avoid enemy attacks.When the desired power up is highlighted, the player can obtain it by pressing the power up button, returning the menu to its initial state in which no power up is highlighted. The effect of this power-up item is to advance the currently selected item in a power up menu that appears at the bottom of the screen. While most arcade action games utilize distinct power up-items that each correspond to a specific effect on the player character, Gradius has a single power-up item. Gradius was the first shoot 'em up to use the 'selection bar' power-up method, which has since been adopted by many other scrolling shooters. This level of capability is generally insufficient for fighting enemies, but the Vic Viper can gain greater capabilities by collecting and using power up items. When gameplay begins, the Vic Viper is relatively slow and has only a weak gun. Gradius is the first shoot 'em up to use the selection bar power-up system. The player controls the trans-dimensional spaceship Vic Viper, and must battle waves of enemies through various different environments.
