''[[Super Aleste]]'' (also known as ''Space Megaforce'' in North America) is a [[Vertical Scrolling Shooter]], part of the ''[[Aleste]]'' series and developed by [[Compile]] for the [[SNES]] in 1992.
The plot varies by region. The North American version is your typical shmup [[Excuse Plot]]:
Either way you pilot a ship known as the Aleste (or ED-057 in the NA version) capable of using one of eight different weapons, each with seven different power levels. Shot types come in all flavors, such as the standard [[Spread Shot]], [[Frickin' Laser Beams]], and a [[Charged Attack]]. On top of that, the Shot-Control button can be used to manipulate each weapon in some way.
Line 18:
* [[Continuing Is Painful]]: You do get unlimited continues, but you have to start with a level 0 weapon each time.
* [[Crutch Character|Crutch Weapon]]: The Homing Missile is good at keeping someone unfamiliar with the game alive through the beginning of the game, but they're not so good at dealing with the game's more dangerous threats.
* [[Cut and Paste Translation]]: The Western releases remove the anime-style protagonists in favor of
* [[Deadly Walls]]: Averted. Your ship can safely touch walls, as long as it doesn't get squished between a wall and the bottom of the screen.
* [[Denial of Diagonal Attack]]: Averted for some of the weapons. Multiple Shot can be toggled to fire almost every which way (literally in all 8 directions if powered up enough), Multi-Direction Shot is specifically able to fire in any direction, and the spheres you use with Circle spiral around your ship to cover any angle.
