RQ: Raiden Fighters Jet: Getting the highest medal values

Post by 8 1/2 »

I'm still confused as to how to trigger the big gold bar medals. I sometimes go through two full stages building up that huge 2m medal, but I can't figure out what triggers the switch when all the medals turn into big gold bars.

You need to collect a max medal and then get lots of medals on screen at once - triggering a miclus will put enough on screen to do this. That will put you in gold mode IIRC. You can see alamone do it on the first stage boss on his youtube vid:

For a more indepth look, all of this is worth a read:

ICR's guide at namakoteam - a few posts down on this page:

Twiddles guide (with video links) is on the forum here:

http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=16237

AND Alluro's guide can be got from the way back site. Quoting ICR from the namako forum:

"One other thing to note, if you go to http://www.archive.org/ and put alluro95.tripod.com/raiden/raidenmain.html into the Wayback Machine, you can access Alluro's Raiden Fighters Emporium website with all his RF data. The Feb 23rd 2002 backup is the recommended and last saved version of the site."
