	Games - Lazer Blazer

Lazer Blazer is one half of Nintendo's Super Scope 6 cartridge of the same name. The game takes its visual style from the various anime shows, and contains three sub-games:

Intercept, in which the player must shoot down incoming missiles before they get to the left of the screen. The missiles' distance from the screen sight varies. If the player misses five missiles, the game finishes. The player can only shoot three bullets at a time, and it takes some time to refill them.

Intercept is the only game in Lazer Blazer to allow two players to play 3 levels in alternating turns. The rest are one player only.

TIP: Beating Intercept Mode requires a good perception of lead-time. The farther away the missile is from you, the farther you have to shoot ahead of it to hit it.

Mario appears piloting a plane, chased by a Koopa Kid riding on a Rocket, in some one-player game levels or in Level 2 of the two-player game. Hitting the Koopa Kid will either recover a miss or award the player bonus points (whether the player plays the one-player or two-player games, respectively), but if the player hits Mario instead, it will count as a miss or those points are void (again, depending on which mode the player is).

Engage, in which the player shoots down enemy fighters and incoming missiles before the player ship's fuel runs out. If the player gets hit five times or the ship's fuel runs out, the game is over. The player can only shoot four bullets at a time, and it takes some time to refill them. When a level finishes, a green ship refills the player ship's fuel. Occasionally, a red ship appears. It not only refills fuel, but it can recover one hit.

TIP: The frequency of incoming enemy missiles increases after Level 10. So much so that they'll come at you in pairs.

Confront, where the player fights off an incoming invasion of enemy ships. In this game the player can fire bullets indefinitely. Unlike Intercept or Engage, the player can shoot an infinite number of bullets at any time. When an enemy has not been destroyed for a while, it will attack and every shoot received counts as a hit. When the player has been hit five times, the game is over. During some moments, flashing enemies wil appear. Shooting them will recover a hit.

TIP: Never stop shooting, even for one second. It may give you a low Score but it can make the difference between beating the aliens or getting Destroyed.

Unlike the Blastris half of the cartdrige, each game in Lazer Blazer consists of 30 levels, and finishing those levels will end the game.
