Just a heads up, I discovered a bug in Fast Striker that lets you start Maniac mode on higher rank than intended, allowing you to score higher. All you have to do is watch the attract sequence when it enters maniac mode, then play the game in Maniac mode, boom you start on Rank 2 instead of 1. Higher rank = Higher Scoring. I'm sure this oversight also affects the DC/Neogeo versions, I caught this by accident while playing the PS4 port today.

The dead giveaway is that more enemies spawn in stage 1 than usual.
