Twin Cobra, known as Kyūkyoku Tiger ("Ultimate Tiger") in Japan, is the second of Toaplan's helicopter-based shooters, after Tiger Heli. The game was first released to arcades in 1987, by Taito Corporation in Japan and by Romstar internationally, and subsequently ported to various consoles and Japanese computers. The plot is minimal, involving your soldier penetrating a fictional country to overthrow its evil dictator before he can invade other nations.In terms of gameplay, Twin Cobra is a typical Vertical Scrolling Shooter. Players' helicopters take off from carriers to wreak destruction on enemy helicopters, tanks, cannons, airplanes, gunboats, and so forth. Players have a choice of four primary weapons plus bombs that inflict massive damage within their wide blast radius. The primary weapon can be changed by collecting orbs that change color as they float around the screen. These weapons, and their colors, are: Red Gun: Fires bullets straight ahead. Green Storm: Fires a narrow laser of highly-concentrated damage. Blue Eye: Spread Shot that can shoot in up to five directions ahead. Yellow Cross: Fires in the four cardinal directions.The success of Twin Cobra led to the game being ported to many platforms: NES, by Micronics (1989) PC Engine, by A.I. System (1989, Japan only) Sega Genesis, by GRC (1991) Sharp X68000 (1993, Japan only) FM Towns (1994, Japan only) PlayStation as part of Toaplan Shooting Battle 1 with Tiger Heli, by Banpresto (1996, Japan only) iOS and Android as Twin Cobra Classic, by MOBRIX Corporation (2019) PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as part of Toaplan Arcade Garage: Kyūkyoku Tiger Heli with Tiger Heli, Guardian, and Teki Paki (via a download code), as part of the M2 ShotTriggers series (2021, Japan only)note Includes the Japanese and international arcade versions, a 2P Kyūkyoku Tiger build which is the international build but with the Kyūkyoku Tiger logo, and the NES (JP and NA), Genesis (JP and NA), and PC Engine ports as DLC. Egret II Mini, by Taito (2022) Windows PC via Steam, by Bitwave Games (2023) Evercade, as part of the Toaplan Arcade 2 cartridge (2023)In 1995, one year after Toaplan closed, Twin Cobra II (Kyūkyoku Tiger II) was released. It was developed by ex-Toaplan employees now working for Takumi (who later produced Giga Wing and Mars Matrix). This game was ported to the Sega Saturn in 1997 as Kyūkyoku Tiger II Plus, with a storyline and a few new things added in. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
One that isn't explained in-game (but is in an optional Kyūkyoku Tiger Heli gadget): As you destroy enemies within a stage, a kill counter for the stage goes up and when it reaches a hidden threshold, a 1-up token will spawn in a certain location on the stage. This can only be done three times per playthrough. Getting hit resets the kill counter for the stage back to zero. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In the Super Easy variant on Kyūkoku Tiger Heli, the game ends after stage 10 instead of looping infinitely. Score-minded players thus have to intentionally die, go back to checkpoints, and repeat sections in order to get the best scores as a result. | |

| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The 2023 Windows PC version of the game has a widescreen mode that lets you see the entire width of the playfield at once. Unfortunately, after the player's first life is lost, the player cannot move all the way to the left of the screen, with an invisible wall halfway between the center and the left side of the screen blocking the way. In addition to not being able to utilize the entire play area, the player can end up being cornered unexpectedly. | |

Smart Bomb: Two kinds, a regular one, and a "powerful" one. If you have five Smart Bombs and obtain an extra one, it makes one of your regular bombs into a "powerful" one that hits for a bigger radius, lasts longer and does a lot more damage. | |

Checkpoint | |
| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_4e92cd2d | comment |
The game is very, very unforgiving, with plenty of enemies that love to snipe you with fast, precisely-aimed bullets. The original Japanese version is especially brutal, as getting killed sends you back to a checkpoint, and you can get stuck at the same checkpoint for many continues in a row if you can't learn quickly. | |

Nintendo Hard: The game is very, very unforgiving, with plenty of enemies that love to snipe you with fast, precisely-aimed bullets. The original Japanese version is especially brutal, as getting killed sends you back to a checkpoint, and you can get stuck at the same checkpoint for many continues in a row if you can't learn quickly. The Sega Genesis version is infamous for not only retaining the Japanese arcade version's brutal difficulty and checkpoint system (even in the North American version; non-Japanese builds of the arcade version don't have the checkpoints), but cropping the playing field so that you have less room to dodge, making it one of the hardest shmups on the system. | |

Difficulty by Region: The Japanese version forces the player back to a Checkpoint upon dying and gives the player's chopper slightly reduced movement speed, however you can have four shots on-screen at once instead of three. However the console versions are based on the Japanese arcade version, even the ones released overseas. | |

Time-Limit Boss: The Kyūkoku Tiger Heli revision of the arcade version introduces time limits to boss fights to prevent players from milking their flunkies infinitely. | |

Anti-Grinding | |
| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_f11c3835 | comment |
Anti-Grinding: The Kyūkoku Tiger Heli version's Final Boss now has a 90-second time limit (when previously it did not have any time limit)to milk points infinitely with no further effort beyond continuously tapping the fire button (or holding it down with an autofire function). | |

Screen Crunch | |
| Twin Cobra (Video Game) / int_f453e39e | comment |
Screen Crunch: Most home versions of the game blow up the sizes of the graphics in order to accomodate horizontally-oriented screens, but unfortunately reduce the vertical height of the playfield, making it much harder to perform forward or backward dodges. This trope along with the Genesis version being otherwise faithful to the arcade version is why that version in particular is one of the most Nintendo Hard shmups on the system. | |
