=======================================================
The Bells:Enemies that release power up capsules also seem to randomly release power booster bells. Shooting a bell changes it's color. The power boost is different for each color. Obtain them can sometimes get you killed but once you have them, use them skillfully to help you clear the game.
- Shooting a bell once makes it change color, shooting it 4 times makes it cycle to the next color.
- After changing the power bell to Red the color cycle will loop back to the start.
The cycle of color change goes: Yellow -> blue -> yellow -> white -> Yellow ->
Green -> Yellow -> Red
Yellow Booster Bells - Gives you bonus score points: 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000
Blue Booster Bells - Gives you a super bomb that wipes all enemies of the screen and does some
damage to bosses. Can be stored.
White Booster Bells - Hurt your enemies with your words! You are are equipped with a megaphone
for a brief period and during this time you cannot fire bullets only missiles.
Green Booster Bells - Turns you into a giant for a brief period, Firing bullets is impossible during this
time but neither walls nor enemy bullets can hurt you.
Red Booster Bells - Allows you to fire 3 laser walls one at a time which will kill or
damage anything that flies in it's path. They can be stored so
use them wisely, however picking up a different colored booster bell (non
yellow) will cancel any remaining laser walls you have stored.
[-X If you keep shooting a bell till it cycles all through their color change, once the color cycle has
looped twice shooting it further will exhaust the bell and it will perish.
[-X Collecting colored bells that are non yellow will cancel your shield so beware!

My first play through ever I got 691,900 as the octopus on normal. Looks like I need a lot of practice on this one! It's gonna be a lot of fun though, this game is great. I was playing on my GT.

Made it to level 5 in the second loop with a score of 796,600. I could post a picture but this section is pretty inactive currently and I doubt anyone cares. Always loved the Gradius series and it's wacky spin-off Parodius!
