Endings

The Japanese version of Zero Wing features a total of 35 different endings.[1] The first three endings can be acquired by beating each of the respective three difficulty settings; the remainder must be seen by beating the game again; upon every successful completion, the game will advance to the next ending. By reaching the final ending, the code for Zero Wing 's debug menu is revealed.[2]

While many of the endings consist of out-of-character discussion between the villain CATS and the real-life player, the conversation will eventually devolve into what appears to be a Toaplan developer rambling about his favorite foods, singing lyrics from folk songs, and making bad Japanese puns.
