Lazer Blazer
Lazer Blazer is one half of Nintendo's Super Scope 6 pack-in cartridge of the same name. The game takes its visual style from the various anime shows, and contains three sub-games:
- Intercept, in which the player must shoot down incoming missiles before they get to the left of the screen. The missiles' distance from the screen sight varies. If the player misses five missiles, the game finishes. The player can only shoot five bullets at a time, and it takes some time to refill them.
Intercept is the only game in Lazer Blazer to allow two players to play 3 levels in alternating turns. The rest are one player only.
Mario appears, chased by Bowser, in some one-player game levels or in Level 2 of the two-player game. Shooting Bowser will either recover a miss or award the player bonus points (whether the player plays the one-player or two-player games, respectively), but if the player shoots Mario first, it will count as a miss or those points are void (again, depending on which mode the player is).
- Engage, in which the player shoots down enemy fighters and incoming missiles before the player ship's fuel runs out. If the player gets hit five times or the ship's fuel runs out, the game is over. The player can only shoot five bullets at a time, and it takes some time to refill them. When a level finishes, a green ship refills the player ship's fuel. Occassionally, a red ship appears. It not only refills fuel, but it can recover one hit.
- Confront, where the player fights off an incoming invasion of enemy ships. In this game the player can fire bullets indefinitely. Unlike Intercept or Engage, the player can shoot an indefinitely number of bullets at the time. When an enemy has not been destroyed for a while, it will attack and every shoot received counts as a hit. When the player has been hit five times, the game is over. During some moments, red enemies wil appear. Shooting them will recover a hit.
Unlike the Blastris half of the cartdrige, each game in Lazer Blazer consists of 30 levels, and finishing those levels will end the game.
