The game has 33 stages divided into four parts, with the first one, a six-stage episode called Scout Mission, being the only available episode in the Shareware version, detailing the Stargunners' reconnaissance against all three strongholds of Zile. The full version adds three nine-stage episodes, titled Stellar Attack, Terran Assault and Aquatic Combat, with each episode detailing the strike on each of the Zilions' three strongholds.
In between each stage, you are allowed to purchase upgrades for your ship using credits accumulated throughout the game. These upgrades range from top and bottom sidearms and engine upgrades that make your ship more responsive in flight to satellites, or moons, that orbit your ship and extra lives.

* [[Aerial Canyon Chase]]: A Stargunner, being chased by two of Zile's [[Elite Mook|Elite Mooks]] during the game's intro cutscene, does this in an asteroid field, successfully causing one to smash into a stray asteroid.
* [[Asteroid Thicket]]: Stage 2 of Scout Mission and Stages 4 and 6 of Stellar Attack have asteroid field segments that can be quite dangerous if you don't have your main weapon powered up high enough and/or are using sidearms that do not really focus on forward firepower, such as the Maxipow Evolter.
* [[Beam Spam]]: The Dual Laser.
