After the Sega logo disappears, a Masaya logo scales and rotates into view. During this sequence, the movement can be intercepted with the second Control Pad by holding A+C and either Left or Right.

If successful, the logo can be rotated with the D-Pad, made smaller with A and made larger with B. There are limits as to how big the logo can get; aside from taking longer and longer to render, if it is too close to the camera, the graphics begin to corrupt. Normal play can be resumed with the first Control Pad[1].

Invincibility

Pressing  START  on the second Control Pad during normal play will make you invincible. The effect can be disabled by pressing  START  again. This is only available in the NTSC-U version.

Control the enemy

Start the game normally, arm yourself and wait. When the first enemy green robot appears on the right hand side, pressing  START  on the second Control Pad can give the second player control over that unit.

Minigame

At the weapon selection screen on the first stage, press HOLD A+C START  and wait while holding down A+C to start the mini-game[2]. This is a game of erasing numbers that increase from the right side, and ends when the numbers reach the left edge. The score of this game is added to main game. This is only available in the NTSC-J version.
