General Information

---

Nemesis retains the basic power-up bar used in most Gradius games, but adds multi-stage missiles that were not present in the original Gradius.

The game consists of only five stages, each featuring a unique boss. However, it is also possible to access hidden bonus stages in which the player can collect extra lives and bonus point capsules.

Stage 2 – Warp Zone

Play Stage 2 until you encounter one of the large enemies again that spits three indestructible shots. At that point, there is an enemy hanging from the ceiling that looks like a haystack or a bundle of plants. Destroy this ceiling enemy and immediately fly up to the ceiling at the exact spot where the haystack was hanging.

Stage 4 – Warp Zone

Directly beneath the third skull that fires bullets at you, fly all the way down to the bottom-left corner of the screen and stay there for two seconds.
