Instead, it detonates on impact, causing a large explosion that deals damage (this is why it is considered to be the best missile weapon in the game). It does not, however, coast along the terrain.
However, the power has been reduced (or the enemies have become stronger). You no longer need to wait for all missiles to disappear before you can re-fire. Missile: Changed slightly from Gradius.Additionally, there are also two types of shielding to choose from: 'Shield' and 'Force Field'. All schemes have Speed-Up and Multiples (Options), but have differing 'Missile', 'Double', and 'Laser' weapons. Gradius II retains the Power Meter bar from Gradius, but now the player can choose between four different weapon configurations and progressions.

On the brink of defeat, Gradius launched its last hope, the hyper-space fighter Vic Viper. Note:- you will need WinAMP v1.80 or higher to use these skins.Two years ago, the planet Gradius was suddenly attacked by a Bacterian invasion fleet.
