I've been meaning to ask this for a while (try 4 years...) but as soon as I login to the forum, I forget.
On the first location testing of Ikaruga, someone recorded a vidoe of it, where the player took down the first boss.
When most of the explosions had settled, you saw the boss fly away, but having changed color to black.
I thought this was very cool, and that one would probably face him later on.
But on the DC version, none of this happens. Was that something left in the arcade and removed from the DC ver or did they remove it in the final arcade as well?

Anyone know what I'm on about?

That was strictly on the Loke Test version. It was removed in the final NAOMI release (the boss completely explodes when defeated).
Perhaps the rising "spirit" was too literal, or would be inconsistent with some of the later (more mechanical) bosses. Wasn't the second level part of the location test too? I wonder if there were any differences with that boss...
