Everything's better with spinning was renamed. Doing cleanup. That includes deleting examples that lack context.

Added DiffLines:
* In the SNES adaptation of ''Gradius III'' and in ''Gradius Galaxies'', entering the original KonamiCode (the newer one uses L's and R's in place of Lefts and Rights) doesn't give you a fully powered ship as expected; it just ''[[SelfDestructSequence kills you]]''. Or rather, it ''does'' give you full power at first; in ''III'', the self-destruct version of the code causes the extra powerups to appear, as if daring you to un-pause the game at which point your ship blows up immediately, while in ''Galaxies'' you get three seconds upon un-pausing to enjoy your maxed-out Vic Viper before blowing up, as if the game's saying "Here's your full power ship...''not!''"
* Losing your last life in ''V'' after surviving for 7 stages in a row prompts the announcer to say "What the [[PrecisionFStrike hell]]?!"
* In ''[=ReBirth=]'', after completing the second loop, the fourth wall decides to take a lunch break:
--> '''Dr. Venom''': Hmm...it appears Gaudi's been infected by Bacterians. \\
'''James Burton:''' Yeah, it looks that way. \\
'''Dr. Venom:''' Don't worry, I knew something like this might happen. That's why I invented the Bacterian Buster Program. James, grab that controller over there. \\
'''James Burton:''' ''(holding a [[ConsoleCameo Wii Remote]])'' Like this? \\
'''Dr. Venom:''' It's a masterpiece of programming. It lets you use a game controller to eliminate Bacterians. Just as if you were playing ''Gradius''. \\
'''James Burton:''' Thanks, Dr. Venom. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight That's exactly what we needed.]]
* In Stage 7 of ''Gaiden'', a black hole is pulling the entire stage into it. While the scenery, enemies, and ''bullets'' get taken into the big black mass of suck behind you, your ship is ''completely unaffected'', other than a strictly-cosmetic shaking animation.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3WjEGqOEqw This video]] showcases two Gradius ROM Hacks: one of ''II'' and one of ''III''. Both of them are laden with all kinds of BulletHell. You have to see it to believe it. Highlights include:
** [[RunningGag There are times]] when Vic Viper dies [[KaizoTrap RIGHT AFTER defeating a boss]].
** '''''Gradius II''''' '''(Arcade version) ROM Hack:'''
** 0:28: The Big Core appears from the left side of the screen and rear-ends Vic Viper.
** 0:33: "[[AttackItsWeakPoint DESTROY THE CORE. DESTROY THE CORE.]] DESTROY THE CORE. DESTROY THE CORE. [[OverlyLongGag DESTROY THE CORE. DESTROY THE CORE.]]" This goes on until Vic Viper is defeated.
** 1:32: The Tetran proceeds to [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spin]] its four [[CombatTentacles arms]] at a lightning-fast speed. Vic Viper can barely even penetrate through its core barriers, let alone the core itself.
** At the 5:01 mark, a lightning-fast missile appears ''out of nowhere'' and snipes Vic Viper. It's a "blink and you'll miss it" kind of moment.
** 5:14: The Shadow Dancer decides to quit [[MightyGlacier dancing]] and become a [[LightningBruiser living train]]. "CHOO-CHOOOOOO!"
** '''''Gradius III''''' '''ROM Hack (both Arcade and SNES versions):'''
** 7:21: Apparently, the Bubble Eye [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace does not understand the concept of the term "personal space"]].
** 7:37: Beacon (exclusive to SNES version) [[BulletHell fills the entire screen]] with blue orbs. Needless to say, that's quite an accurate portrayal of [[HatingOnMonday Mondays]].
** 7:50: Death MK II [[TeleportSpam teleports erratically all over the place]].
---> [[Music/MCHammer Can't touch this!]]
** 8:32: Despite this, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Vic Viper actually manages to defeat Death MK II]]. After this, the Crystal Core approaches from the left side of the screen, moving to the right with its CombatTentacles stretched to its sides, [[YouAreAlreadyDead effectively locking Vic Viper in]], as if it was saying, "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings YOU SHALL]] [[YouShallNotPass NOT PASS!]]"
** 9:23: It looks like Big Core MK II [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace does not understand "personal space"]] either.
** 10:53: Tetran makes another appearance, and it proceeds to spin its arms lightning-fast ''once again''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LbHEE-oQLQ This other video]], a sequel to the ROM Hack video shown above, showcases a ROM Hack for ''Gaiden''. In the video, all ''sorts'' of shenanigans go down. Gradius, now with more BulletHell! Highlights:
** The first clip shows the place where Sol is fought... and then Sol SUDDENLY rushes through the screen like a race car! [[{{InUniverse}} In-Universe]], it would have been a [[JumpScare Jump Scare]] for Vic Viper.
** 0:48: Laser Tetran starts spinning around rapidly while continuously firing homing bombs.
** 1:41: At the Double Death/Parasite Core fight, the introductory cutscene plays out normally, then all of a sudden, a '''GIANT MESS''' of Death Cores shows up and ''immediately'' bombards Vic Viper with missiles!
** 3:07: The Triple Core [[ShockAndAwe Electric Boogaloo]]!
** 3:43-6:11: The [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic chaotic, fast-paced track in the background]] actually fits with the [[BulletHell chaos]] taking place at the moment.
** 4:26: The Juggler Core decides to be a {{Troll}} and pull one of its body parts right through Vic Viper.
** 4:56-6:08: None of the bosses or BulletHell seen in this video even compare to the sheer might of the powerful custom-made Neo Core X, the God of All Big Cores. Now how in the name of Ovum are you supposed to defeat '''[[HarderThanHard THAT]]'''?! The utter chaos of this scene, combined with the music, makes it both awe-inspiring and HILARIOUS.
** 6:16: And if the player were to actually ''defeat'' Neo Core X, two [[ThatOneBoss Heaven’s Gates]] appear from both sides of the screen, and... [[GameOver GAME OVER]] FOR NO REASON?!
** The very last clip shows Vic Viper reaching the room in which the final boss is fought. At that moment, [[BrickJoke Sol rushes through the screen ONCE AGAIN]]. The following voice clips are heard:
---> Try again.
