Kingdom Grandprix

Arcade flyer

**Kingdom Grandprix**, known in Japan as **Shippu Mahou Daisakusen** (疾風魔法大作戦, *Gale Magical Campaign*) is a Shoot 'em Up/Racing hybrid game developed by Raizing and originally released in 1994 for Arcades and later ported to the Sega Saturn in 1996 by GAGA. It is the second game in the *Mahou* trilogy.

## Gameplay

Kingdom Grandprix retains most of the gameplay elements from its predecessor, while also incorporating racing aspects. By pressing the first button, the player's character will fire their main and secondary weapons, while holding it down will make them accelerate, with the character gaining more speed the closer they are to the top of the screen. The player/players' objective is both to deal with enemies and bosses, as well as beating the competing racers, with the total score being tallied up at the end of each stage.

Due to the racing theme, enemies don't cause collision damage, so the player/players can choose to destroy them or ignore them altogether. The option subweapons return, but this time they're limited to the Frontal and Homing types. Aside from enemies, the player/players also have to deal with the other racers, who can't be hit by regular shots and can only be knocked back by using bombs.

## Story

The nightmare has gone away...

The "Gobligan War" which ravaged the continent ended with the death of their King. However, the looting of the remnants and opposition parties showed no signs of stopping, dropping a dark shadow onto people's lives...

As such, King Cadwenner noticed the raising public sentiment, deciding to do a big event commemorating the first year of their victory.

"Intercontinental Large Aero Race"

It is a big race without rules. The use of weapons is unlimited. Only the fast and strong ones can embrace the goddess of victory.

In the king's words "the winner will get anything he wishes", thus gathering all of the strongest people with their arms in the capital, carrying the city in a festive mood.

However, nobody noticed the two forces interfering in the situation...

## Stages

After completing each stage, the player/players can choose between two (or three, in the case of the final stage) different stages. In order to see their character's ending, the player must score first in the general score tally. That will also unlock the game's second loop, where the player/players will play all the stages that were skipped on the first loop.

Bomberman: Panic Bomber

Arcade cover

**Bomberman: Panic Bomber** is a Bomberman-themed falling blocks puzzle game originally developed by Hudson Soft in 1994 for the NEC PC Engine CD and ported the same year by Raizing to the Neo Geo AES. It is a spin-off of the *Bomberman* series. It was later followed by two sequels also developed by Raizing.

## Gameplay

Panic Bomber plays similarly to other stacking puzzle games like *Puyo Puyo* or *Columns*. Bomberman head-shaped blocks of varying colors will drop one at a time from the top of the screen, and your objective is to stack them up in order to match same-colored pieces, causing them to detonate. Like similar games, you must create chains of explosions in order to send blocks to your opponent's field, with larger chains sending more blocks.

Additionaly to the colored blocks, every so often a bomb piece will also fall down for the player to stack. These will detonate automatically after a set time, removing the pieces around it. By causing a good amount of damage the player can also earn a big bomb, which removes a lot of blocks from the player's field.

## Story

Battle for Peace, Bomberman!!

It is the near future. In the corner of the galaxy lies the star Nogisūsu, naturally blessed with peace, where everybody lives quietly. But one day, of course, monster underlings of Maou Bugler began laying waste to the star. Bugler boarded a floating castle in the sky in order to get revenge on Bomberman, who lives peacefully on this star. To restore peace to Nogisūsu, Bomberman must once again embark on an adventurous journey, heading toward the floating castle suspended above the northern mountains.

Brave Blade

Title screen

**Brave Blade** is a Shoot 'em Up game developed by Raizing and originally released in 2000 for the ZN1 Arcade platform. It is the last Eighting/Raizing shoot 'em up title, and it never received any console ports.

## Gameplay

Brave Blade is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up, featuring a unique gameplay style compared to every other Raizing game. Each of the selectable ships have two distinct modes, each controlled by a separate button. While in Fighter Mode the ship controls like any other shmup ship, having both a frontal shot and sub-shot which are fired by pressing the first button. By pressing the second button the ship will change into Mecha Mode, which attacks with a melee weapon whenever the player presses the second button. Pressing the first button again reverts the ship back to Fighter Mode.

The player also have access to a meter on the bottom of the screen, which fills up over time and when destroying enemies. While in Mecha Mode, by holding down the second button the fighter will block incoming projectiles, which depletes from the meter and leaves the player vulnerable again once it fully depletes, forcing the player to wait for it to cool down and fill up again. Once the meter is full, the player can activate a Super Mode with the third button, which makes it invincible while depleting the meter.

The game features a medal scoring system, which also works differently from other Raizing games. Certain enemies will drop medals of low value which the player can slash while in Mecha Mode, causing it to spin and become larger, with larger medals being worth more points.

Boredom

Screenshot

**Boredom** is a boss from Armed Police Batrider.

## Details

Boredom is a hovering automation originally designed to suppress urban insurgencies. It is comprised of a large central unit and four smaller compact ones, which it can detach from the main body. While the main unit is able to descend down and pursue targets, its relatively large size makes it not ideal for pursuit through narrow paths so it releases the smaller units and remotely controls them. Only a single prototype was ever produced since the unit went berserk and injured many people on its first field test.

## Characteristics

As its title suggests, Boredom is a somewhat police-themed robot. It has a pair of circular shoulders with small air vents on the front. It has a large rectangular chestpiece, and mounted on the robot's back is a spiral machine gun. Its head is pointy and has what appears to be a green lens for an eye, and grey guns are mounted on the sides of the head. It has 2 large blue "wings" with large red lights on the sides, and they are folded to conceal its arms when the robot is dormant. It has sharp claws on its arms, and floats on a large propeller.

Boredom is accompanied by 4 green helicopters with turrets mounted on their sides.

## Battle

When the battle begins, Boredom's wings are folded over its arms and the machine will only attack by firing bullets from its head. First, the player must destroy the 4 helicopters chained to the machine, which attack by firing lasers from their turrets. Once the helicopters are defeated, Boredom will begin attacking using the gun on its back and shooting laser rings from the shoulders. It will also open its shoulders to release the same small units summoned by Buzzcock.

Scallop

The **S.O.Q-025 Scallop** (鵬牙, *Phoenix Fang*) is a ship from Terra Diver.

## Details

Jin-Sei Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. has a plan to produce a spacecraft for operation under high gravity (around Jupiter, etc.) in the future, and it is planned for the preparation after the 21st model of the SOQ series. The 25th model, "Scallop", was developed as a culmination of the SOQ series by combining the technologies of the 21st to 24th plans with the existing Swordfish and Mackerel armament concept. Propellant loading capacity and propulsion machine output are also the largest in the series, and the theoretical final speed (the maximum speed when all propellants are used for acceleration, assuming no deceleration) is the highest of the existing aircraft even including it.

However, due to the output characteristics of the Scallop's main engine, the operability is quite strong, and the test pilots have a poor reputation, and there is a whisper that "it may not be practical". In fact, it is not used in any department other than the "Azure Sky Red Lotus Corps" in the Jin-Sei Group.

## Gameplay

* Diffusion type web: Blind spot blind heavy particle bomb (RANDOM)
* Centralized web: Guided particle unloaded twin shell (MU-SOU)
G-Omen

Screenshot

**G-Omen** (海鳳, *Kaihou* (Sea Phoenix)) is the fifth boss from Terra Diver.

## Details

The aircraft is an anti-aircraft gun and a micro missile pod added to the British Air Force's old transport aircraft "Skyer G7", but the entity is a mother aircraft to transport the high mobility control craft "Kaiyan" to the operation area. At the air show held in Cairo a few years ago, it was confirmed that "Kaiyan" was the same aircraft that Nakanishi Co., Ltd. announced as a local control attack machine with VTOL function. The aircraft had a problem of short operating time since the demonstration at that time, but it seems that it was solved by preparing a dedicated mother machine. However, as another drawback, the imbalance that has been pointed out since then cannot be fundamentally solved due to the structure of the airframe, and it seems effective to preferentially attack the attitude control unit at the time of engagement.
