Revision as of 14:56, 4 December 2022

Back to: Ristar.

Passwords

In addition to the five passwords revealed in game, a number of others also affect the game. Some only work with the Japanese version, however:

MASTER Text that hints towards a sequel is shown. Yes
MACCHA Mentions Miyake color. The final boss stage palette changes to a golden yellow. Yes
AAAAAA No Continue limit. Yes
STAR A shooting star goes across the background. Yes
VALDI Shows the Valdi Solar System. Yes
HETAP Reverses the High Score in Demo Mode. It becomes a Worst Score of 9,999,900 points. No
AGES Copyright info is displayed. No
XXXXXX Clears/deactivates all current passwords. No

Mary Had a Little Lamb

If the player waits for one minute after throwing the final metronome to the final Umotomat in the first area of Planet Sonata before encountering the mini-boss, a rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" will play.

Bonus jewel in Planet Sonata's mini-boss

Ristar MD 4-1BonusJewel.png

If the mini-boss of Planet Sonata is defeated before the first wave of Chibis appear, an Umotomat will fly in from the right and drop a Yellow Jewel worth 10,000 points. As the bobbing heads move quickly in randomised patterns, this is incredibly difficult to do, though a player with quick-enough reflexes can land three hits on one of the heads during the mini-boss intro.
