Yo: About the default diff. on the PCB.... I assume it's 'Normal,' correct? Because it was on Hard when I plugged it in...

[Mode7]

Normal, yes.

According to Randorama,

"Before the mid-boss, you get two trains: one on the left,
one on the right, going down the screen at full speed. At
the end of the right train, there's a 1-life pod ( it's
red). Get it before the train scrolls outside the screen."

Luckily I continued after an incredibly pathetic death on Stage 2...

Thanks for the info., Bern-D. I'm having trouble locating this train amidst the sheer insanity, however.

[Mode7]

The train is on the right side of the screen, moving extremely fast. Keep directly in the middle of the train and you'll receive the 'heart-up' just as it exits the screen.

Damn you Click. Now I gotta go work on some ESP RaDe again.

Im scoring about 300,000. btw, how many of you use bombs?

[Kewing]

I don't usually use boms so I get used to use no bombs at all in every situation possible. But that's variable, sometimes I try to last as long as I can and end up dying stupidly; but some other times I feel more insecure about squeezing through the bullets and use a bomb, though I lose my multiplier.
