Line 24:
* [[100% Completion]]: When destroying bosses bit by bit instead of hitting their weak spot first, you'll get an extra destruction bonus.
* [[Action Bomb]]: Kamikaze ships that hurl towards the player in Stage 5A, {{spoiler|not to mention the Silverguns on the Penta after exhausting all their other attacks on the player}}.
* {{spoiler|[[After the End]]: The game begins with the Stone-like causing the apocalypse, with only four people managing to survive}}.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: Tetra {{spoiler|and its doppelgänger Penta}}.
* [[Anachronic Order]]: StageThe progressiongame isstarts asyou follows:off on Stage 3 (Return), ->then after that you have the option to go to either Stage 2 (Reminiscence), which occurs prior to the events of Stage 3, and/or Stage 4 (Evasion), (dependingset onafter version)Stage ->3. Then the game continues to Stage 5 (Victim) ->and Stage 6 (Stone-LikeThe Origin), culminating ->in {{spoiler|Stage 1 (Link)}}., Thethe numbers''first'' indicatestage their chronological orderchronologically}}.
** {{spoiler|[[After the End]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Eternal Recurrence|Again and again and again]]}}...
* {{spoiler|[[Apocalyptic Log]]: All of the ship's logs are this after the ending}}.
* [[Attack Drone]]: A few bosses have them.
* [[Boss Game]]: Generally speaking, ''half the entire time spent'' in a typical playthrough is made up of boss fights, but Stage 6 is particularly loaded with bosses.
* [[Boss Subtitles]]: Complete with [[Gratuitous English]] to give nonsensical advice in place of the nonsensical move lists of ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]''! Considering the Stone-Like's [[Surprisingly Good English|understandable English]], the [[Engrish|Engrishy]] advice is likely [[Rule of Fun|intentional]].
** Though considering the Stone-Like's [[Surprisingly Good English|understandable English]], the [[Engrish|Engrishy]] advice is likely [[Rule of Fun|intentional]].
* [[Bullet Hell]]: Radiant Silvergun has its moments, but the pace is somewhat slower than your typical shooter of this level.
* [[But What About the Astronauts?]]: The Tetra's barely able to escape to an orbit around the Earth at the end of Stage 2. Stage 3 starts with them returning to Earth after a year because they had exhausted their food and energy supplies.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* [[The Phoenix]]: Ohtrigen, only in the Saturn version.
* {{spoiler|[[Plotline Death]]: Extra lives won't help in this case}}.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]:* The [[Boss Subtitles]] actually ''do'' provide useful information about the boss you're about to encounter, but it's intentionally made so cryptic the average gamer won't figure it out before the fight... or even far after the fact. That is, until you hit the [[Final Boss]], where you get three easy-to-follow hints:
{{quote|1. [[This Is Gonna Suck|Be Praying]]
2. [[Oh Crap|Be Praying]]
Line 113:
* [[Super Prototype]]: The Silvergun fighters.
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Large tank miniboss in Stage 2.
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Every boss in ''Radiant Silvergun'' (well, maybe except for the first boss) is preceded by a warning screen with three pieces of cryptic advice. ForThe oneadvice offor the Stage[[Final 6Boss]] bossesis into thesimply Saturn version''pray'', therepeated three tips are "Be careless" "Go go heart" and "YYTM strategy"times.
** Better yet, the advice for the [[Final Boss]]: 1. BE PRAYING; 2. BE PRAYING; 3. BE PRAYING.
* [[Timed Mission]]: Bosses will self-destruct if the player spends too much time fighting them, resulting in less points.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Second Golets can be seen transforming from a high-speed vehicle into a wider one. DAIKAI10 seems to change itself between being a cross or being a dodecagon. There are also other bosses which change their shape.
Line 121 ⟶ 120:
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: One of Microsoft's [[Tokyo Game Show]] 2010 announcements was an XBLA remake. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|There was much rejoicing]]... except from those hoping to [[Crack is Cheaper|invest in legit Sega Saturn copies.]]
** Among other obvious additions, there was an extra option thrown in for those that had ''[[Ikaruga]]'''s XBLA rerelease and got any achievement in it: the ability to use ''Ikaruga'''s multi-color chain system instead of being forced to always hit the same color to sustain a chain, although to compensate, the maximum chain only gives you 25600 points per enemy, as opposed to 100k you can get with the normal chains.
** Unfortunately, the Options+ menu (which let you make hitboxes visible or alter the Silvergun's speed) was lost in the mix -: even after ninety hours of play, people haven't been able to make it appear. Another issue is that the game is presented in a 16:9 pillarboxed screen, even on non-16:9 displays, resulting in a significantly reduced game window--... a problem for players who don't have HDTVs or want to play on a CRT.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: The first boss, AKA-O. Well... except when playing on the hardest difficulty, in which case it's a [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]] and can easily kill any unsuspecting player.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Many bosses have that.
