Once upon a time, there was a prince named Gallagher. He was entrusted with a magical ring that granted him great powers. But he was too weak to control the power of the ring, and became possessed by it. The mad prince was sealed into a crystal, but many years later managed to break out, planning to wreak havoc on the Dream World and conquer it. Yuko, the heroine of the previous Valis games, is no longer a sacred Valis warrior - she has become a goddess. Lena, a young girl who wants to become a Valis warrior, must prove to Yuko she is worthy to wield the sword of Valis, that will eventually stop the evil plans of Gallagher.
Super Valis IV is an action-adventure game for the Super Nintendo. The story follows Lena as she tries to become a Valis warrior and stop Gallagher's evil plans. In this version, the player controls only Lena, and all references to other characters have been removed. This release has fewer stages and less cutscenes compared to the PCE (TurboGrafx) CD release.
The gameplay system in Super Valis IV is also different. Lena can run faster but not slide, unlike in some previous versions. Magic-related items have been removed, but Lena can equip special items that enhance her default sword attack.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Valis IV* is a side-scrolling action-platformer where players control Lena, a fierce rebel warrior chosen by the goddess Yuko to wield the legendary Valis sword. After the tyrannical King Gallagher is resurrected from his watery grave and conquers the world, Lena must embark on a perilous quest to rescue the captured Queen Valna. Players must fight their way through seven challenging, trap-filled stages to defeat the Dark Forces and restore peace to the realm.
Story
The Red Moon Rises
The red moon of the Spirit World rises. Its people have been resurrected and the bell tolls for battle.
The Wrath of the Guardian
Eons ago, there was a world called GIYA where people lived peacefully and faithfully under their guardian protection. King Aspher of the Spirit World was a follower of this guardian, but the King's son, Gallagher, had another plan.
He was scheming to conquer the whole world. Once Gallagher ascended to the throne and received the ring of Titan which possesses infinite power, he immediately started a war to take over the entire world. His action angered their guardian so greatly that he sealed the entire population of GIYA into a crystal pillar and buried it deep under the ocean.
Resurrection of the Dark Forces
One electrified evening the red moon broke through the clouds and calmed the motion of the sea. The gigantic crystal pillar suddenly rose toward the sky with a thunderous noise, parting the Pacific Ocean in two. King Gallagher and his Spirit World people were resurrected after thousands of years in silence.
It did not take too long for them to take over the entire world. Queen Valna's Dream World was conquered despite their courageous fight. Now the whole world is under the rule of Gallagher. The Valis warrior, Yuko Ahso, is gone. Who is left to fight these Dark Forces?
The Rebels Who Fight for Justice
All who rebelled against King Gallagher gathered under Cham, a daughter of the Spirit World, to defeat the king's forces. To discourage the rebel forces, King Gallagher ordered to execute Queen Valna. Cham and her companions learned of the execution, but the enemy was too great for them to fight.
Then, a voice was heard: "Let me go and fight for you!" The voice belonged to Lena, who was the strongest fighter among the rebels.
Voice of Their Goddess
Cham, the leader of the rebel forces, was wondering what to do. Although Lena was the greatest warrior, it was too risky to let Lena fight alone against the Dark Forces.
"Cham, let Lena go to fight!"
The voice reverberated from above. The voice was none other than Yuko, who had become their goddess. Now Lena headed for Castle Vanity, which once belonged to the people of the Dream World and now was a fort of the Dark Forces. A new Valis warrior is about to be born.
The Seven Stages
There are seven stages in this game. Enemy attacks will differ depending upon the game level you choose. The following explanations are based on the normal level:
•
ACT 1: VECANTI (Battle Ground in Dreamland) - This stage has two scenes. There are no traps in this stage, so learn how to maneuver various techniques.
•
ACT 2: CASTLE VANITY (Ruins of Castle Vanity) - You need to learn how to jump in this stage. Master the timing of jumping.
•
ACT 3: BABYLON (A Garden in the Air at Babylon) - Watch for the falling rocks! Since you cannot destroy the rocks, you must avoid them.
•
ACT 4: VALHALLA - It is difficult to run on the grassy plain. In scene 3, watch out for SERAPH, an enemy character, and jump.
