The following are general tips and tricks that don't exactly qualify as secrets,
but are still noteworthy in some regard.


WEAPON TERRAINS
You can change a weapon's terrain bonuses by equipping a terrain modifier such
as a Dust Filter, Thruster Module, or A-Adapter. This has many different
applications in a game, the largest one being to let you use a weapon on a
type of terrain it would normally be useless in, such as firing beams at
enemies underwater, or using ground-based attacks on flying enemies.


USAGE OF THE SP SKILL "HOPE" (Kitai)
This is an SP command that gives another pilot 50 SP. In this game, the skill
does not apply to only one pilot; it applies to EVERY pilot in the unit you
select. You can use this to great effect by burning the SP of a combiner unit
like Dancougar or Voltes V, then using Hope on the unit and giving every pilot
in that unit a 50 SP boost.


QUICK MORALE TRICK
Rather than discussing this in a detailed paragraph here, I will direct the
reader to a chart put online to explain how this works:

SPECIAL OBTAINABLE PARTS AT THE BAZAAR
When you sell upgraded units (not weapons) at the Bazaar, you get rewarded with
special parts.

All 5 Stat Slots Filled: Spirit of Steel
4 Stat Slots Filled: Hero Emblem
3 Stat Slots Filled: Hyper Jammer
2 Stat Slots Filled: A-Adapter
1 Stat Slot Filled
	HP: Build-Up Parts
	EN: Mega Generator
	Speed: High-Performance Thruster
	Armor: Special Reinforced Plating
	Limit: Over-Limiter

These rewards are not exclusive - you get ALL of these parts when you sell a
with the requisite number of upgrades. IE: If you sell a unit with 3 full
upgrade slots, you will get a Hyper Jammer, A-Adapter, and the respective
reward for those three slots individually.
If you sell a unit with all upgrade slots filled, you're rewarded with all of
the above.

BUGS
A few Japanese sites have documented a few bugs with the gameplay worth noting.
>On Stage 32 (Moon route), Harry is supposed to launch in his SUMO, but for
some reason, sometimes Getter-1 launches instead with Musashi. When this bug
occurs, it renders Harry permanently unusable.
>In a worst-case scenario, a lethal bug can occur in stage 36 that keeps the
game from continuing; Without Ryouma at the helm of Getter Dragon, the story
doesn't proceed as it should.
>On Stage 39 ("Showdown at X-Point!"), if you have Zeta Gundam transformed into
its Waverider mode when the Rosamia event occurs (when you reduce Rosamia to
under 50% HP), the game can freeze.
