[edit] Items

Supply Ring	After you fly through this ring, it will become your starting point if your ship is destroyed before you finish the stage. Flying through this ring will also restore most of your shield energy.

Extra Ship	The player must shoot the three objects to make an arwing appear in the middle. The player must then fly through the ship in order to gain a 1-Up.	Image:SF-Extra Ship.jpg

[edit] Objective

The goal for every mission is to destroy the Enemy Leader that waits at the end of the stage. The Arwing is equiped with an auto pilot device which keeps it on course to the final enemy. This keeps the player locked in a fixed path, focing them to navigate through a series of obstacles and enemies. If the player ventures too far towards the edge of the flight path, arrows will guide them back to the main course.
