Gradius 3 completed in Arcade mode.

Selected notes from author:
E. laser is used for the quick destruction of the bosses. Bonus stages were skipped for boringness and length.

Choosing Arcade-mode in options takes a while because you have to press A-button rapidly for a short moment.

This game also has some really good "engrish" in the epilogue when you beat the arcade-mode »»

This movie is similar in type to Morimoto's NES Gradius movie, except that Gradius 3 does not allow that many speed upgrades.

Category "uses passwords" is selected because the Arcade mode seems like a secret option in the game.

Gradius 3 completed in Arcade mode.

This movie is similar to Tviks' movie, except that this one aims for 100% kills.
Everything that can be killed is killed. At the later levels that's really hard to accomplish.

As you might know, Konami realised they went a little overboard with the difficulty of the arcade version of Gradius III, so the SNES port got noticeably easier (and laggier). However, it still remains one of the hardest and most unforgiving shoot 'em ups released in its era.

That being said, the author aims to please in his attempt to surpass both preceding movies. He manages to kill almost every enemy through more efficient use of the options and faster boss fights, as well as the much needed lag reduction.

The game is completed in Arcade mode (still a far cry from the actual arcade game), which is accessed by tapping A on the main menu screen. It is strongly recommended to read the congratulatory text appearing after the end credits. ;)

This is Cpadolf's take at the shmupping carnage, resulting in a significant improvement in both speed and style over the previous movie by Krocketneo. In total, 2 minutes 53 seconds are saved thanks to lag reduction and faster boss fights. The author also kills a greater percentage of enemies (still not fully 100%, though — read the comments for more details).
