When you die, you drop a series of power-ups - be fast and you can collect these when your ship respawns. Reserve your smart bombs for moments of dire need... they're ideal for getting out of impossible situations.
Raiden Fighters Jet: Access The Slave or Fairy
Hold 'Bomb' button before inserting coins. Keep pressing 'Bomb' button until after you finish typing your initials. At the "Fighter Selection Screen," press the ''Fire'' button while still holding the ''Bomb'' button to select the Slave. It doesn't matter which plane you highlight. Note: If you highlight the 'flying blue pig', you'll get the Fairy instead.
