+ | The Gunstar family has watched over the planet Gunstar 9 (G-9) for generations. In his youth, Professor White Gunstar had defeated the evil robot Golden Silver, a terrible machine that travelled millions of miles to suck the planet dry of its resources. White removed the Mystical Gems from the robot and sealed it on one of the planet's moons. | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, years later, the evil dictator Colonel Red has found the locations of the Mystical Gems, and intends to reactivate Golden Silver. He kidnaps the oldest Gunstar Sibling, Green, and put him under mind control, and with his help he has acquired all four Gems and turned Gunstar 9's peaceful worker droids into killing machines, and is now preparing to depart for Gunstar 9's moon to reactivate Golden Silver. It is now up to the Gunstar Twins, Red and Blue, to defeat Colonel Red's Empire Army and retrieve the Mystical Gems to prevent Golden Silver's reawakening. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Japanese version=== | ||
+ | Long ago, the Earth was pushed to the edge of oblivion by the god of destruction, Golden Silver, until the four Gunstars, Red, Blue, Green and Yellow, appeared and sealed it on the moon. Fearing its eventual revival, the Gunstars put themselves into cryogenic sleep so that they may stop Golden Silver once again when the time comes. Time passes and everything remains peaceful, until one day when General Grey appears to seek Golden Silver's four power crystals, and sends an excavation unit to the moon. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dr. Brown, charged with leading General Grey's excavation unit, uncovers the four Gunstars at their resting place, learns of the events of the past, and vows to help them put a stop to Grey. However, Green has lost his memory, and General Grey tricks him into helping revive Golden Silver. This leaves Red and Blue to bring back their misled ally and stop General Grey from reawakening the terrible destructor. | ||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | ''{{PAGENAME}}'' is a run-and-gun game played from a side-scrolling perspective similar to games such as ''Contra'', either in single player or co-operative play. Assuming the role of Gunstar Red or Gunstar Blue, players move forward, defeating enemies using weaponry and melee throws that can be peformed using the {{B}} button, and defeating a variety of bosses and mid-bosses. Levels vary in bosses and gimmicks, ranging from riding mine carts to playing a board game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Gunstar Twins each have their own firing stance, which the player(s) can select when starting a new game along with a starting weapon. Red's firing stance is "Free Shot", which allows him to move and shoot at the same time. Blue's firing stance is "Fixed Shot", which prevents him from moving and shooting simultaneously, but allows him to fire in all eight cardinal directions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players have a number that measures their remaining vitality, which starts at 100 at the beginning of the game. If all vitality is lost, the player(s) must retry the stage from a previous checkpoint, but in a co-op game, a player that has fallen can borrow half the surviving player's vitality to continue, providing they have at least 2 points left. Vitality can be increased by picking up Vitality-Up items acquired by shooting enemies, boxes, electronic ducks or sometimes found just lying around. After clearing each level, the player's starting vitality is permanently increased by 20 points, reaching a maximum starting value of 220. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Weapons=== | ||
+ | The game's biggest gameplay mechanic is its weapons system. There are four types of weapons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The player(s) will start out with one type of weapon at the start of the game, but they can pick up other types of weapons through item drops, and swap their current weapons for other ones. A player can only hold two weapons at a time, which by pressing {{A}} can either be selected individually, or combined for a more effective type of weapon. The weapon that isn't flashing is the weapon that's currently in use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <!-- TODO: Make a table that describes each weapon type and their combined effects. --> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Levels=== | ||
+ | The first four stages in the game can be played in any order the player{s} chooses, while the last three are played in a linear order. | ||

+ | | desc=The Empire Army's minions have been despatched to attack a peaceful village full of tiny natives in search of the blue crystal. With easy waves of enemies and the simple mid-bosses Papaya Dance and Bravoo Man, this is an ideal stage to start with. At the end of the stage, the player(s) must fight Pink and her flunkies, Kain and Kotarou, who ride a large battle mech known as the Pinky Roader, which they have used to mine for the gem. | ||
+ | }} | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=Stage 2 - The Underground Mine | ||
+ | | screenshot=Notavailable.svg | ||
+ | | desc=This level has the player(s) ride a specially modified mine cart provided to them by Professor White/Dr. Brown in pursuit of Green, who has found the green gem. Once they enter the mine, the player(s) can switch gravity by pressing {{C}} twice to ride on either the floor or the ceiling. Enemy droids will attack from their own mine carts or from the large train commandeered by Smash Daisaku. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the end of the stage, Green attacks the player(s) in the Seven Force, a multi-phase boss that is one of the most remembered boss fights of the game. The boss has seven forms to attack with, with the Soldier Force always being the first one, and the other six being fought in a randomised order. The number of forms that must be defeated varies by difficulty level, with three forms on Easy, five forms on Normal, and all seven forms on Hard and Expert. | ||

+ | | title=Stage 3 - The Flying Battleship | ||
+ | | screenshot=Notavailable.svg | ||
+ | | desc=Captain Orange is departing in a battleship with the grey gem, and the Gunstars must pursue him on-board. Once they make it on board, they must deal with a swarm of droids and the Swapping Reg, then fight Smash Daisaku, who flies around and tosses bombs, on the blades of a helicopter. Afterwards, Orange will appear and deal with the Gunstars personally, attacking strictly with melee attacks and even riding the helicopter blades to cause damage. He is suspectible to melee throws, and takes the most damage from being thrown directly onto the helicopter, losing up to about 400 points when attacked that way. | ||
+ | }} | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=Stage 4 - Black's Dice Palace | ||
+ | | screenshot=Notavailable.svg | ||
+ | | desc=Black has secured the red gem, and has built a silly dice maze for the Gunstars to get through. Upon entering the base, the player(s) must throw the die to move across the board, and complete whatever space they land on. Landing on a "FIGHT!" space will make the player fight a mini-boss or complete a specific challenge within a time limit, while landing on a "TAKE AN ITEM" space will send the player to an enemy-less room full of items. Landing on the "THE WAY BACK" space will send the player all the way back to the start, but won't reset any cleared spaces. In a two-player game, both players advance separately from one another, and only one player will play a challenge at a time, and the game may only allow a specific player to throw the die. If a player loses all their vitality in a challenge, that player must start again from the beginning of the board if they choose to continue using the remaining player's vitality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the player(s) make it to the goal, they will fight Black in the Black Beat Stepper, a mech that moves about using a die, and uses different attacks depending on what space it stops on. Once Black is defeated, he will toss a fake gem in a last-ditch attempt to catch the player(s) off-guard, so they must avoid it and shoot him for the real gem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This stage is not present in the Game Gear version of the game. | ||

Tasked with saving Yellow, the player(s) must make it through a very long and very large swarm of enemies to reach the Empire Army's ship. At the very end of the level, the player(s) will fight Smash Daisaku for the final time, with the Gunstars being forced to surrender the gems to General Grey in order to save Yellow's life. | ||
+ | }} | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=Stage 6 | ||
+ | | screenshot=Notavailable.svg | ||
+ | | desc=Yellow has been saved, and with the Empire Army having headed for the moon with the gems, Professor White/Dr. Brown has supplied the Gunstars with a spaceship that they can use to give chase with. This stage changes the gameplay to that of a space shoot-'em-up in which the player(s) pilots the spaceship to avoid asteroids and take out waves of enemies. By using the D-Pad and pressing {{C}}, the ship can boost in a given direction. In a two-player game, one player controls the main ship while the other controls a weapon satellite for added firepower, and the players can choose who will control the main ship before the stage begins. If both players press {{C}} at the same time, they will perform a stronger boost that offers the ship invincibility frames. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After defeating the Seven Force a second time, the player(s) will leave the ship and infiltrate the Empire Army ship as it lands on the moon, and fight the Core Guard System with three phases: Unit of the Hammer, Unit of the Dragon, and Unit of the Runner. | ||
+ | }} | ||
+ | {{InfoRow | ||
+ | | title=Stage 7 | ||
+ | | screenshot=Notavailable.svg | ||
+ | | desc=The final stage in the game. This stage is a gauntlet of short platforming sections and multiple boss fights, with each core member of the Empire Army watching the Gunstars' progress on a giant screen and joining in the fight one after the other. In order, the player(s) must fight Kain and Kotarou in the Duck Battalion, Pink and Kotarou in the Pink Lobster, Orange, Black in the Black Fly, and Green. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After defeating all of these bosses and reaching General Grey's control room, the player(s) will face the final boss, Golden Silver. To defeat Golden Silver, the player(s) should focus on attacking the gems to inflict damage. | ||

Story
Gunstar Heroes' story differs depending on the region it was released in:
International versions
The Gunstar family has watched over the planet Gunstar 9 (G-9) for generations. In his youth, Professor White Gunstar had defeated the evil robot Golden Silver, a terrible machine that travelled millions of miles to suck the planet dry of its resources. White removed the Mystical Gems from the robot and sealed it on one of the planet's moons.
