Gradius Gaiden (グラディウス外伝)
System & Settings: PlayStation 1, Hardest Difficulty

Well, here it is, a 4-loop clear of Gradius Gaiden on real
PS1 hardware! Loop 2 changes a few things up from the first loop. The biggest change is the addition of a new final boss called Heaven's gate for the stage 8 boss rush. There's a few other additions as well, namely:

Stage 1: Snow waterfalls now drag you down towards the ground
Stage 4: 2 extra Moai heads for the stage boss
Stage 5: The boss fires 3 pink balls instead of 2
Stage 8: Most of the bosses have additional attacks and hazards.
Stage 9: The boss of the speed stage can new kill you with his flames, they were avoidable in loop 1.
