Raizing shmups aren't really easy, it's all about rank control and suiciding to keep them tame. This game doesn't have as sharp a bite as a Battle Garegga or Armed Police Batrider, but the more stuff you collect, the harder the game gets. I've played enough of this in MAME and on my Saturn to know, it's not easy in the least bit. The challenge mainly comes from how many bullets to avoid, some stages have very narrow sections, this can be a problem.
Fun fact: According to Dimahoo's story, Miyamoto was the canon winner of the Kingdom Grand Prix. Kind of funny given his wish is the most mundane of them all.
Raizing loved to try to make a reappearing cast for it's shooters. All of the cast from Sorcer Striker returns in Kingdom Grand Prix, and then a few come back with Dimahoo. All three games kinda get called part of a series due towards this. Still, I LOVED this game just because of how dymatic it made itself with the entire 'race' element, having other ships trying to race ahead, taking bullets and the like. It's all really makes it feel like it's not 'just' you playing.
As for the hitting part, well that one I don't know, Raizing probably figured that collisions would probably take away from the racing aspect of the game due to how hard the game would truly be then. I myself when I play the Saturn version disable the racing aspect via code, this way I can play it as a straight shmup, takes some of the charm away, but takes away the aggravation of trying to place high in the race itself.
No wonder why this game's soundtrack sounds so amazing, it's Hitoshi Sakimoto and his trusty Terpsichorean sound driver. Those recognisable FM patches found in Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games like Verytex, Two Crude Dudes Gauntlet IV, Masters of Monsters, Devilish/Bad Omen and Captain America and the Avengers are spot on.
Lets hope the latest leak is true and Retro is doing something similar to this for star fox becuase it looks amazing and a really fun idea, and not an f-zero/diddy kong racing reskin with star fox.
I thought this was a racing game because of the name lol Speaking of racing, that Capcom super scaler should’ve been released on the Sega Saturn with ram enabled.
Looks cool but too easy. If you actually lost lives/took damage from getting hit this would be a challenge because it's obviously fast-paced enough. Not getting the point of being able to get hit repeatedly...

Still, at least he cared for someone other than himself. That's not a bad lesson to tell someone.

Racing shump. Nice concept.

Dimahoo please!

Is it me or the speed meter in the bottom left doesn't work at all ?
you know, i'd say 'what a strange game', but in the great scheme of things... not really...
Some of these ships gets reused to/from other games... lol...
Why is it like a shmup if it's supposed to be a race?
Why not
