Extracted from the original game manual

IRIDION 3D is a space shooter where the player commands a star fighter to defend Earth against an alien invasion threatening the universe. The gameplay involves battling through distinct stages, from asteroid fields near the Solar System to the heart of the Iridion Star System, while fighting legions of enemy ships and bio-mechanical worms.

Story

Introduction

In the distant regions of our Galaxy, far beyond the darkest limits of the Orion Nebula, a deadly force has been unleashed upon the universe, and is heading straight for Earth. Your mission is to travel across light-years of uncharted space to defend the destiny of mankind.

With IRIDION™ 3D, battle against legions of Iridion star fighters high above the Earth's stratosphere. Engage vicious robotic bio-worms in the outer regions of the Solar System, and ultimately, travel half a universe away to the heart of the Iridion Star System. You must eliminate the Iridion menace, for the fate of the universe rests in your hands.

Stage 5 - Outer Space Asteroid Field

On your journey out of the Solar System, the course to the Iridion System takes you through an Iridion mining colony located deep within the Asteroid Belt. Here, moving asteroids and Iridion Satellites hone in on your position with deadly precision.

Stage 6 - IRIDION Home Base

Once within the Iridion System, you must fight your way through an orbiting Iridion Home Base. A variety of adversaries, including deadly Bio-mechanical Worms, are sent to repel your advance.

How to Play

Getting Started

To get started with IRIDION™ 3D, please begin with the following steps:

1. Make sure your Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance is turned off, then plug the IRIDION™ 3D Game Pak into the Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance.

2. Turn on your Game Boy Advance. In a few moments the Majesco Logo Screen should appear.

3. Press START until the Title Screen appears.

Controling

Your experimental intergalactic SHN-Fighter is controlled via the Game Boy Advance's Control Pad.

Control Pad UP/DOWN causes your spacecraft to climb or descend in altitude. It also cycles through options on the Main Options Screen, moves the highlight on the Game Options Screen, and moves the cursor UP/DOWN on the Password Entry Screen.

Control Pad RIGHT/LEFT causes your spacecraft to bank to the right or left. It changes options on the Game Options Screen and moves the cursor RIGHT/LEFT on the Password Entry Screen.

POWER-UPS

Weapon Power-Up

Your SHN-Fighter is equipped with four types of weapons. Every time you collect a Weapon Power-Up, your weapon system is upgraded. However, if your spacecraft is destroyed, your current weapon will be downgraded to its previous type.

Energy Power-Up

Collecting a flashing weapon Power-Up will increase your craft's energy.

THE STAGES

To successfully repel and ultimately destroy the IRIDION threat, you must journey through the following combat stages:

STAGE 1 - Escape through the Disposal Tunnel

After securing your experimental intergalactic SHN-Fighter, you must make your way through an Iridion disposal tunnel, deep within their secret Earth-based reconnaissance colony. Here, Pulse Emitter Ships and Class A Fighters are your main adversary.

STAGE 2 - Dogfight Above the Pacific Ocean

After escaping from the disposal tunnel, you must traverse the surface of the Pacific Ocean on your way to destroy a sea-based Iridion Cytecor. Iridion Sky Mines and Aqua Bombs are predominately used by the Iridions here.

Tips & Maps

Force Fields

Force fields encountered while escaping the disposal tunnel can only be destroyed by first destroying the four power generators located in the corners of the field.

Keep moving. Most enemies will target your ship when you stay too long at the same position.

Strongholds

Most areas of a stronghold are indestructible. Each stronghold contains a weak area which flashes when hit.

Avoiding Projectiles

Always move away from approaching enemy projectiles.

Extra Lives

An extra life will be awarded at a score of 10,000, 20,000 and 40,000 points, so try to destroy as many enemies as possible, even if they are not attacking you directly.
