The leaderboard for everyone's favorite tech demo of an NES shmup, dedicated to the non-Caravan modes.
You may use either the original version (ROM, original cart if you somehow own it, or 3DS VC version), the English-patched version (ROM or repro cart), or Recca Pure (which has Hard and Zanki Attack made easily accessible).
A word of caution: Results screens do not show the difficulty, nor does the in-game "HI-SC" field differentiate between scores set with Normal and Hard. Make sure you know what mode your score is for!
