Bonus Stages - There are bonus stages in levels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. 
  Most bonus stages require that you meet some condition and  
then fly into a seemingly solid area to enter the bonus area.   
The conditions and areas are described below. 

Level 2 - (condition: none) fly into the first ship opening  
along the bottom of the screen in the last section of the stage  
before meeting the boss (area after the giant carbonated  
bubbles) 

Level 3 - (condition: must have destroyed all of the guns on the  
ground), fly up close to the low rock ceiling toward the end of  
the level right before the last "mountain". 

Level 4 - (condition: must have no power-up boxes lit at bottom  
of screen), fly into the back of the Moai head located in the  
middle of 3 heads toward the end of the level.  This particular  
head will be facing away from you and all 3 heads are upright -  
difficult to explain location w/o picture). 

Level 5 - (condition: unknown), fly through the fire at the  
corner of the inverted volcano just before the small passage  
which leads to the 2-headed fire dragon. 

Level 7 - (condition: unknown), fly through low corner just  
after the 4 turrets where your ship would normally have to cut  
diagonally upward. 

Super Code 
1.   Start Game 
2.   Up, Up, Down, Down, L, R, L, R, B, A, START 
  This will power up your ship with missiles, force field, all  
options, and more speed.  You can use this code once per level.  
Original Konami code for Gradius and LifeForce will cause  
GradiusIII ship to self-destruct. (Original code used Left and  
Right instead of L and R, if you're curious.)

1.   On title screen 
2.   Press X button as many times as possible before pressing START 
3.   The number of restart credits will increase 1 for each 3 or  
     4 X presses.  The maximum credits humanly possible using  
     this technique is probably 9. 

Spread Your Options  
Select R Option (rotating options) from weapons panel.  Once you  
have acquired all 4 Options, collect enough power-ups to again  
hilite the "Option" option at the bottom of the screen.  Press  
and hold the A button to increase the radius of your R Options.   
This will make the R Option as effective (probably more so) as  
any of the other Option types by covering a large portion of the  
screen. 

Arcade Game Mode - On the Option Mode Screen, select Game Level  
and press the A button as fast as you can until the level reads  
"ARCADE".
