YMMV / Solar Jetman

• Awesome Music: Probably the best thing about the final level.
• Demonic Spiders: Star Dragons. You'll know they're coming when you hear enemy shots coming rapid-fire. Also, they come in groups, so they're hard to avoid.
• Disappointing Last Level: Suddenly transforms into a poor ripoff of Gradius after you assemble the Golden Warpship.
• Goddamned Bats: In certain areas of certain planets, you'll be set upon by a swarm of spherical ships. All of them are manned by kamikaze pilots. There is no end to them. The mini-fighters can be this also if there's no mook maker to destroy. Thankfully, using Jetpod-Fu on them inflicts no damage to you as long as you have your shields up.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: A part of the map of Shammy Gen looks like the face of a creeper, as acknowledged by DeceasedCrab [08:02].
• That One Level: Miplezur, the final planet, would be this on its own. It has the highest gravity and the second highest diameter of any planet, a water area which reverses that powerful gravity, and a huge and confusing maze at the bottom to reach the ship part. But what really cements this level is the final section when you complete the Golden Warpship: you're thrown into a long Gradius-style shoot-em-up with the Final Boss at the end, and you only have one life. It doesn't matter how many lives you had entering the area. You die once, and it's Game Over. Did we mention it only takes about four hits to kill you?
