*Raiden* is a classic shoot-'em-up arcade game where players must defend Earth from a devastating alien invasion. Taking control of the powerful "Raiden" fighter jet, players battle through eight intense stages of bombardment spanning global landmarks and outer space to ultimately destroy the alien homeworld of Carnass.
Story
The Theaters of the Interplanetary World War
•
Stage One: The Bread Basket of America
•
Stage Two: City of Kyoto, Japan
•
Stage Three: The Suez Canal
•
Stage Four: The Ruins of Ancient Greece
•
Stage Five: Rancho Mirage, California
•
Stage Six: The Black Void of Death
•
Stage Seven: The Mother Ship
•
Stage Eight: The Planet of utter Carnage, Carnass, the source of the alien tyranny.
Save the Earth
If you can defeat all eight stages of alien bombardment, earth will be saved and the Carnassials will be vanquished!
Only you have the power to defeat such a vile nemesis, only you have the power of "Raiden!"
How to Play
Starting the Game
Insert your Raiden Trad game pak into your Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Make sure the power is turned on.
As the title screen appears you will see the underside of a Carnassial craft entering the earth's atmosphere in attack formation. As soon as you see the laserbeams start to infiltrate the lower portion of the earthen atmosphere, press start to proceed to the menu screen and to eventually begin the game.
The Menu Screen
The menu screen provides three different game play options for the player to choose from. To select the option desired, move the directional control pad up or down and then press start to enter that option.
•
One player mode provides the game player with the challenge of rescuing the earth and obliterating the alien forces by him or herself.
•
Two player mode provides two game players with the same unique challenge as above, but allows a second "Raiden" fighter to join in the fight for freedom against the alien tyranny. This option not only doubles the potential firepower of the allied earthen forces, but doubles the amount of attacking forces as well. In this mode two players can either cooperate with each other and share the icons when they appear on the screen or the two players can compete with each other and "hog" all of the items for him or herself.
•
The Configuration Mode allows the game player or players, in the case of a two player game, to customize the eventual game play in six specific areas.

Customizing Your Game
To select the area you wish to customize, move the directional control pad up or down to find the desired area, then left or right to begin the customizing process. The seven areas that can be player customized are the following:
•
Hero: This is the number of lives every player has for every "life" played. Any amount of lives between, and or including, 2 and 5 can be selected.
•
Bombers: This is the number of bombs or nuclear explosives every player has for every "life" played. Any amount of bombers between, and or including, 2 and 5 can be selected. The number of bombs each player has in stock can be added to by picking up the Triangular B icon. For every "B" icon obtained another bomb will be added to your arsenal. This is the only way to obtain more bombs.
•
Level: These are the various levels of difficulty that the player or players will be subjected to. You can choose from Easy, Semi-easy, Normal, Hard, or Pro.
•
Rapid fire: You can turn it either on or off.
•
B.G.M.: This option allows the player or players to select the background music for the game.
•
S.E.: This is the number of unique sound effects the player or players can incorporate into the up and coming adventure. Player(s) can select any sound effect desired, but only one of the 16 can be incorporated into the game at any one time.
Bomb Icon Note
Picking up an icon shaped like a bomb DOES NOT give the player extra bombs or nuclear explosives. This icon merely adds a 1,000 point bonus to the final individual score of the specific level for every one the player picked up.
Every time the player loses a life, or "Raiden" aircraft, the number of bombs originally set by the computer or the player in the Configuration Mode will be the number of bombs or nuclear explosives available in the arsenal of the "new" life.

Exiting Configuration
When you have finished customizing the game, move the cursor to the exit command and press start. These options entered will apply towards the up and coming game unless the player(s) wish to redo the customizing process.
You will return to the menu and title screens, select either the one or two player mode and va-voom, you're off to save the world, the wonderful world of earth.
Your Mission
As you have already been briefed, the Carnassials have assembled above the planet earth in preparation of a world wide invasion. Your objective is, of course, two fold.
As a "Raiden" pilot, a suave, tough guy top gun, you and a friend must rescue a defenseless Mother Earth from an onslaught of ruthless Carnassial laserfire and nuclear bombardment. Your second objective is to vanquish the enemy invaders and destroy their five earthen strongholds.
Keep in mind that our alien nemesis will do everything in its power to prevent these two objectives from being met. The odds are heavily against you, but with patience, excellent marksmanship, and dexterity you can beat the odds.
