How to play Super Raiden online

When you launch the game, you will see a title screen in Japanese. Press Enter (Start) to proceed to the main menu, where you can select 1 Player or 2 Player co-op using the D-Pad and confirm with X (A button). If a configuration menu appears, use V (Select) to choose options and Enter to confirm.

Once in the game, you pilot a fighter jet through scrolling stages filled with enemy aircraft and ground units. Use the D-Pad to move, X to fire your main weapon, and S to drop a bomb that clears the screen of enemies. Collect power-up icons to upgrade your weapon (Spread or Laser) and missiles for additional firepower. The core loop is to survive each wave, defeat mid-stage and stage-end bosses, and progress through the game. Since menus are in Japanese, memorize the layout or use trial and error to navigate options.

Your goal is to achieve the highest score possible while completing all stages. The game has an infinite continue option, so practice makes perfect. Focus on learning enemy patterns and power-up locations to maximize your survival and score.
