SPECIAL VILE RIDE ARMOR EQUIPPING VILE’S WEAPONS

• Getting On/Off — Line yourself up with a Ride Armor to

board it. Press the Directional button

1+ the J button

to dismount. When Vile gets

off a Ride Armor, it self-destructs.

• Attack — Press the L button

to Punch, and press

the K button to fire

the machine gun.

You have unlimited

machine gun

ammunition.

• Acquiring Weapons —

By defeating boss

enemies, Vile gains new

weapons to use. Defeating

a certain boss enemy may

unlock a different

weapon, depending on

the order in which you

defeated the bosses.

• Selecting a Weapon —

After selecting a stage

from the Stage Select

screen, you will be able

to select the weapons you

want to equip. Weapons

can be equipped to the

arms, shoulders, and

legs. Each weapon has

a specific cost (noted

underneath the weapon's name).

The total cost of the three equipped weapons cannot

exceed Vile's total available resources (top right of screen).

This value increases when you defeat boss enemies.

While Vile is riding a Ride Armor, the Ride Armor gauge slowly

drains. If you take damage, Vile himself will not sustain any

damage, but the Ride Armor gauge will be depleted by the

amount of the attack. Once the gauge is completely depleted,

the Ride Armor stops operating and self-destructs.
