4:08 Boss & Music Comparison - Gargoyle
----------------------------------------------------------------
6:35 Stage 2 - Gorgon
9:20 Boss - Twin Vulcan
----------------------------------------------------------------
10:26 Stage 3 - Seiren
12:48 Boss - King Fish
(Stages 1-3 are pretty much the same in all versions, but Stage 1 in AC/SNES has some different graphics)
----------------------------------------------------------------
14:10 Stage 4 - Haides
16:58 Boss AC/SNES - Green Mech
17:58 Boss MD - G Lobster
(The stage and boss are totally different between the AC/SNES and MD. The SNES boss also has different music than the AC, which has the same music with Boss 5 of the MD).
----------------------------------------------------------------
18:20 Stage 5 - Ellis
21:54 Boss - Mobile Fort
(Like Stage 4, the AC/SNES is different from MD, but they have the same boss. The boss music is different in all three versions)
----------------------------------------------------------------
23:00 Stage 6 - Cerberus
25:38 Boss and Asteroids (SNES only)
(The AC is exactly the same with MD, but the SNES is a "remake" of the stage with different music and an extended section with asteroids, plus a new boss)
----------------------------------------------------------------
27:52 Stage 7 - Orn Base
32:32 Boss and Music Comparison - Base Guarder

34:40 Stage 8 (SNES Only)
36:14 Final Boss (SNES Only)

37:02 Stage 8 - Orn Core
38:20 Final Boss and Music Comparison - Khaos

41:05 Final Boss Final Hit and Endings

(The SNES has a totally new final stage and boss, while the final stage in AC is the same with the MD, with an added mini-boss before the final one).

Thunder Force III was originally developed for the Mega Drive, and this is really the definitive version - the AC plays exactly like the MD and it's a matter of preference whether one enjoys levels 4 and 5 from the MD or the Arcade, while the SNES version is good port.
