Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: In order to stretch Dramatic Mode to 2 hours and fit in all the narrative, there are many new segments that mainly consist of cannon-fodder ground targets and bonus-point rings and are just there to help the player focus on the dialogue better but without having sections of absolutely nothing to do. | |

Dead Man Writing: After the Shadow Mandler piloted by Chandor is destroyed by the Wing Galiber, it plays a message from the late Noboru Tendo. Unfortunately, the data is too corrupted and is unable to play, but the message later plays a role in the Final Battle with Mandler when the repair process is completed. It reveals that the pendant that Sho is carrying is actually the Sol Cresta itself that Mandler was searching for, but Noboru got to it first, and it can be used to fully power up the Yamato. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The game contains references to not just past Cresta games, but other Nichibutsu games as well. The game reveals that in the obscure arcade game, Constella, the titular ship was actually that of an espionage force sent to spy on and steal Mandler's weapons between the events of Terra Cresta 1 and 2. Terra Cresta 3D, which was originally a 3D remake of the original Terra Cresta, is a simulator created by Dril Martin in-universe to train for the upcoming battles against Mandler. The titular Mineral MacGuffin is modeled after the Nichibutsu logo◊. Dita's ship in its robot form is modeled after the player's robot ship from Dangar UFO Robo, while the Yamato's awakened form is modeled after the player's robot ship from MagMax. Hamco, the Team Pet, is a reference to Hamster Corporation, the company that added Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta to their Arcade Archives collection. The commercial for the game is a shot-for-shot remake of the commercial for the original game's NES port. | |

Arrange Mode: Dramatic Mode, which is paid DLC. It adds lore to the game, featuring dialogue and cutscenes between characters. It also nearly doubles the length of the game, taking almost two hours to complete! Unlike Arcade Mode, which has five difficulty levels, this one only has two, Easy and Normal. | |

Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_3e24cb38 | comment |
Musical Nod: The mission start jingle for stage 5, Terra, is a rearrangement of the respawn jingle from Terra Cresta, with the stage theme itself being a lower-key arrangement of that game's theme. The mission start jingle for the final stage, Sol, is the "last life" respawn jingle from Terra Cresta. | |

And Sho himself will take off into space aboard a research vessel as a peacekeeper for the galaxy in the Cosmic Year 121, never forgetting the peace that stands because of what everyone had fought for. | |

Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_68da6712 | comment |
Canon Welding: The database contains info that calls back to the other Terra Cresta games: The Alien Creatures that attacked in Moon Cresta first attacked in the Cosmic Year 0080. While their source was unknown, research later revealed that they were created by the series' main antagonist, Mandler. Five years later came the events of Terra Cresta, in Cosmic Year 0085 when Mandler itself led an attack on Earth, its army consisting of mechanical weapons and biological monsters powered by Mandler's Power of Void. After Mandler's defeat, the Mandler Army retreated. Cosmic Year 0092 came the events of Terra Cresta II, in which Mandler returned with an even powerful military force called Zofer. Despite the sheer number of forces Mandler's Zofer army had, they were eventually defeated and driven off the solar system by Terra Cresta. However, Mandler was never truly defeated. | |

Its an even longer fight in Dramatic Mode, as the player must survive through a lengthy cutscene until the cutscene power up happens. | |

Hold the Line: In the final battle against Mandler in the Dramatic Mode, you have to let the dialogue finish and survive for a few seconds so that you can transform into a mech. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: PlatinumHard difficulty above Hard. In addition to enemies becoming more aggressive, it puts limiters on several gameplay mechanics: Formation attacks are shorter and use up their tokens (rather than lasting until the stage ends), losing a life resets the Sol Gauge and takes away all of your formation tokens, and your shields are capped at one. | |

Energy Absorption | |
Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_cf5335c | comment |
Energy Absorption: Mega Zofer has created six Vaikuns to suck up every planet's energy. Venus and Jupiter were among the first to be attacked, and succeeded in being wiped out. It also turns out that Mega Zofer is using the Vaikuns to revive Mandler. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Sol Cresta (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The version 1.05 update revises the end-of-game Escape Sequence to now be an "Extra Stage" where your life counter doesn't get decreased and you can't get a Game Over during the sequence. Instead, your incentive for surviving is a 10,000-point Extra Bonus at the end, with 1,000 points deducted from that bonus for every time you die. | |

Time-Limit Boss: In Stage 4, when you face Garaka as a Mini-Boss, it has you trying to defeat him before the time runs out. If time expires, the antimatter cannon will obliterate the Yagatarasu, leading to an automatic Game Over. | |

Big Damn Heroes: At the end of Stage 5, when Chandor is defeated, he attempts to ram into you using the Vaikun. Then the Wing Galiber shows up and destroys Chandor's Mandler duplicate at the last minute. While escaping from Sol, the real Dita shows up and helps you, the Dita destroyed by Chandor at the end of Stage 6 revealed to be a cyborg double. | |

Dark Reprise: In Stage 5, Terra, the music that plays is an arrangement of the Terra Cresta gameplay theme, but in a lower and more melancholic key. The name of this music on the soundtrack? "Fall of Terra Cresta". | |

Boss Warning Siren: Whenever you're about to reach a boss, the following message shows up: "WARNING: A big enemy is approaching at full throttle. There is a huge hostile reaction. Intercept it with a perfect attitude. Ready to fire." For mini-bosses, it's yellow. But for main bosses, it's red. | |
