How Strike Gunner S.T.G Plays
If one player wishes to quit, their Strike Gunner can be docked with the active player's, with the effect of switching back to single-player mode. Stages feature large waves of normal enemies - ranging from helicopters to gun turrets - that only require one or two hits to destroy. The mode also allows for an additional degree of strategy, as the two players can choose complementary special weapons.
Upgrades initially increase the rate of fire; once this is maxxed out, the weapon switches from a baseline red version to a more powerful blue one, with its own upgrades. Losing a life means the loss of all accumulated basic-weapon upgrades, but also refills the special-weapons meter; this can in some cases be done tactically. Most stages contain at least one mini-boss and a screen-filling final boss; the exception is the abbreviated stage eight, which only features a handful of normal enemies, being largely an obstacle-avoidance course protecting an otherwise-defenseless mothership core.
