The Burai Fighter Deluxe game follows the story of the Burai, an evil alien race who have launched a plan to conquer the universe using their army of robo-mutants. It's up to the player to stop them and save the day.
In this scrolling shooter game, players are armed with a variety of weapons, including different guns like lasers and missiles, as well as a powerful cobalt bomb that can clear entire screens. The levels feature side- and vertical-scrolling layouts with pre-designed patterns.
Burai Fighter Deluxe is part of the Burai series and was released for the Game Boy console in 1991. Unlike the NES version, which included top-down stages, this game features a versus multiplayer mode that can be played using a link cable.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an arcade-style shooter where players battle an invading alien race, the Burai, and their robo-mutant armies. You must infiltrate five enemy bases, defeat powerful mutant bosses, and ultimately confront the Slimedragon to save the universe.
Story
Your Mission
For thousands of years, the Burai have had but one objective: the conquest of the universe! They have created huge armies of robo-mutantsβhalf robot and half living flesh.
With capabilities to produce thousands of robo-mutants each day, the Burai armies will soon overrun the galaxyβunless you can stop them!
Strap on your proton pack, charge up your laser cannon, and prepare to do battle with the deadliest army of mutant rogues to come along in years.
Your challenge is to penetrate the five bases of the Burai, confront the super-mutant guards: monstrous creatures like Giganticrab, Jawsipede, Fangskull, and ultimately you'll face the terrifying Slimedragon!
Using your awesome arsenal of weapons, victory may be within your reach. Can you save the universe from the torment of evil Burai? We're all depending on you!

WEAPONS
You start the game with a simple gun. There are three power-up weapons available: Laser, Missile, and Ring. Each Power-up weapon has three power levels.
The weapon will change when you catch the first symbol. Catch 5 of the same symbol to go to weapon power two. Catch 10 of the same symbol to advance to weapon power three (the display shows an "A" to indicate weapon power three).
You can switch weapons by simply catching a different symbol; your other weapons will remain stored until you catch their symbol. When you are destroyed, you will only lose the weapon you are currently using.
There is also a pod which you can catch. This pod will rotate around you, and can be used to collide with enemies. The pod has no effect on bullets. As you catch more pods, your pod will rotate faster.
Attack Mode
In Burai Fighter Deluxe, it is possible to move in any direction while shooting in any other direction. To accomplish this, just move in the direction you wish to shoot.
Then press and hold the fire button for rapid fire in that direction. Now you can move in any other direction while still shooting in the original direction. You will continue to shoot in the original direction until you release the "B" button.
Cobalt Bombs
Gather the balls released by some enemies until your cobalt bar (bottom left of screen) appears. Then you can press the button and destroy everything on the screen.
If you save cobalt bombs until the "E" you will be awarded a free man. Each mark represents 1 cobalt bomb.
Hardness Levels
Burai Fighter Deluxe has three hardness levels: Eagle (easy), Albatross (medium), and Ace (hard). There are several differences between the levels.
First, as you progress to the harder levels, new and more difficult enemies will attack. Second, the enemies will move faster and shoot more. Third, the bonus multiplier will change.
Bonus
β’
Eagle: X500
β’
Albatross: X2000
β’
Ace: X5000
After you complete a level, you will be awarded a bonus for the amount of weapons you have collected. This bonus increases with the hardness level. The bonus is calculated by the weapon level times a multiplier which changes for each hardness level as listed above.
If you have a weapon powered up to level three (A), you will receive 20X the bonus multiplier instead of 10X.
Hidden Rooms
Throughout the game, there are hidden rooms. These rooms will hold many goodies; try to find them all, they will help a lot!
The scroll direction will change if you find a hidden room. To find a hidden room, look for the star symbols.
The Vs. Mode
The Vs. mode plays the same as the one player mode, but it is a race. Each player gets one man, and the first player to defeat the boss of the selected level wins.
If one player dies, the game is over, and that player loses. The Vs. mode can be played on any level, and on any difficulty setting.
Extra Items in the Vs. Mode
There is an extra weapon enemy in the Vs. mode similar to the weapon holding enemy in the regular game. This enemy will appear on both players' screens at the same time.
The first player to destroy it will get the item ball. This ball changes between three items: one will drop the other player's weapon level, one takes away the other player's cobalt bombs, and the last one will temporarily slow down the other player.
Enemies & Characters
Giganticrab
Beware of his flailing tentacles, and the venom which he spits at a furious pace. He will trap you in a corner if you're not careful.
Jawsipede
These guys are tough! Shoot the connection points, and they will separate into a wiggling mass of terror. Then blast their tails to destroy each section.
Fangskull
This not so jolly Roger will chase you while firing his deadly bone bullets. To make matters worse, you must also avoid the falling platforms.
Torchwing
This gal has a nasty disposition! She will attack with a spinning circle of fireballs. Her domain is near the volcanic fire spouts, so you must stay clear of the giant shooting flames.
Slimedragon
This green-scaled slimeball is the master of the Burai, and easily your most fearsome adversary. He will shoot molten rock curve balls which are indestructible.
Tips & Maps

Buzz Bomb
Mantaroid
HINTS
This game is tough! So no matter how good you are, try to defeat the hardness levels in order, otherwise you will have little chance of defeating the evil Burai which occupy the Ace level. Each Boss can be defeated with any weapon, however, each boss is easy to defeat with one of the weapons. Try to find each bosses weakness and they will fall easily (well easier!!!). Finding the hidden rooms is fun, but also very important to success. Enjoy!
