Here is the attract mode for the SNES version of Gradius 3.

A port of Gradius III was released for the Super Famicom in Japan in December 1990 and for the Super NES in North America in 1991, with the option of reduced difficulty and additional armaments for the Vic Viper. It replicates the slowdown of its arcade counterpart and discards the pseudo-3D and crystal/"cube rush" stages. The cell stage is also swapped to being the final stage instead of the sixth stage like in the arcade version, it is also given a whole new layout and soundtrack. It also introduces a boss called Beacon which awaits the player at the end of the new high-speed stage, which is a counterpart of the high-speed stage in Gradius II. The Super NES version of the game suffered from severe slowdown. In 2019 Brazilian computer engineer Vitor Vilela created a romhack version of the game that uses the SA-1 enhancement chip that eliminates slowdown in the game.
