Fantastic game. It was one of the first four carts available upon the mighty Super Nintendo's launch in 1991 (alongside F-Zero, Pilotwings, and SimCity). However you feel about GIII's insane difficulty level or Space Shooters in general, one thing here is for certain: The soundtrack is just AMAZING. Perfectly listenable even if one isn't playing the game. The themes for the Garden Stage (level 6) and Mechanical Base (level 9) are two of the best out of the console's entire library. My parents got this for me on Christmas 1991 and I never looked back - Gradius 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.

The Arcade version's soundtrack is even better. Some of the songs are absent due to some of the stages either not existing or being swapped around (the organic level is between the Moai and Fire levels rather than being the final level) but it's really, REALLY good. Not too many people have heard of the arcade version, and for good reason. It released a few years earlier and is easily one of the hardest games of all time. More people have beaten Battletoads than the Arcade Gradius 3. Still, it's a really cool alternative version that, difficulty aside, actually feels a lot more unique.

i agree it has good music...but Darius Twin had better music and was another great SNES ship-shooter but as far as best msuic? for me im not sure if i can pick one between the 3 megaman X games, Final Fantasy 4 and 6 (aka 2 and 3 here in the states) and chrono trigger...the SNES had a ton of great games with equally great music scores...so its hard to say which is best

Love this game! My mom, brother, and I all used to play this all the time back in the day. I've always been super-fond of the Crystal Ship you battle in the Boss Rush level, though I like all of the ship bosses in general. Mine/My Mom's Weapon Choices Hawk Wind Missile Standard Double Twin Laser or Ripple Laser F. Option Reduce Shielding Mega Crush or Full Power My brother would sometimes use the standard weapon mode, and always pick the one that gave him the Cyclone Laser and the Spread Bomb with a Force Field, but sometimes he'd use the edit mode. Brother's Weapon Choices Small Spread Missiles Vertical Double Cyclone Laser or E. Laser Rotating Option Reduce Shielding Mega Crush or Full Power

Well played and on hard even. Holy crap, it is hard enough on normal. lol One of my favorite titles on the SNES. The furthest I have gotten is the two crabs you fight on stage 10. Could never get past them, but maybe next time I will. Can't believe how easy the last boss was. It really seemed like nothing at all. I still think the E-laser is the best and most powerful weapon. You can hold the button and launch a powerful laser ball, and destroy a boss within two or three of those. Then I use Hawk wind, the shield barrier. Might use those multi directional options next time. They seem better, and you can guide them where you want. Also wanted to mention, I think this game has one of the best soundtracks in video games. Especially the level with the dragons and fire. That is an epic track.

Every time I turned the speed up too high, I lost my precision of movement and wound up running into enemy fire somehow. Ultima's just got some seriously insane controller skills. Nice work! :)
