Thunder Force III - "Mania" Playthrough - Orn Base, Orn Core, Ending
The Orn Base stage theme is my favorite track in the game. It's so damn catchy! Anyway, once you have this stage memorized it's pretty easy. It's important not to die before reaching the boss so you can keep your laser power up and your options, that way you can kill it quickly. If you don't take it out soon those blocks start moving in really unpredictable and extremely hazardous ways, and you'll likely lose MANY lives before the damn thing finally dies.
Orn Core is as straightforward as it gets: a midboss and a final boss. To kill the midboss reliably, move way over to the right of the screen before it appears. Your lasers fire faster since they are closer to their target, giving you a window of a second or two to cause a great deal of damage. Just make sure you move back to the left before it traps you with its arms and kills you. When done right, you'll only need to dodge a couple of the boss's attacks before it dies.
For the final boss, hopefully you have a shield with at least one hit left, as this is somewhat luck reliant. At some point you'll have to dodge up or down to avoid the spinning ball attack, while the nine destroyable projectiles surround you. Whether you get to safety without hitting a projectile depends on the position of your orbiting options. I got lucky here and didn't take a hit, but it wouldn't have mattered a bit if I did.
Final score is my all-time record, not that score matters :P
