Astra Super Stars [Saturn] - play as Satan Volte
3This is a demonstration of Satan Volte in the Saturn version of Astra Super Stars. Read on below for more information...
Satan Volte is the main final boss of the game, you will face him after you defeat My Angel or My Devil. He is an unplayable character.
===== About Satan Volte =====
When under human control, you cannot perform any moves with him whatsoever. All you can do is move forward, backwards, and dash back and forth, nothing else. He is one of those boss characters where only the CPU can perform his three known moves - the Piranha Projectiles, the Laser Beam and the Giant Fireball. I am not sure if he has any other moves.
In this video, the 1st part shows him under human control, and the 2nd part shows him under CPU control with all his moves.
Basically this is same deal as the Arcade version, which isn't surprising considering the original arcade game was developed on Sega's ST-V hardware, which is almost identical to the Saturn's hardware. The Saturn version requires the 4MB cartridge to run the game.
===== Additional Information =====
---- On the Story Mode character select screen, his 'sprite' is a messed up 1P cursor.
---- He locks the game if you try to go into a 1-player arcade mode with him. This is because he has no 'story' interaction with the other characters programmed in.
---- If his opponent is My Devil or My Angel, they can transform into him for a mirror match, with a messed up colour palette.
---- As mentioned earlier, under human control, apart from moving back and forth and dashing, you can do nothing else with him... besides being hit of course.
