The PC Engine version of Gradius was released on November 15, 1991, exclusively in Japan. Released on a 2-Megabit HuCard, it had relatively few omissions compared to the NES and MSX versions and added a Desert Planet stage similar to the Bone Planet stage from the MSX version. Because of the lower resolution of the PC Engine compared to the original arcade hardware, the PC Engine features some slight vertical-scrolling.
The first bonus section at level 2 is shown in the main run, which requires the hundred digit to be an odd number. All other bonus stages are included at the end of the video, while showing off the requirements to access them.
