This video shows a Full Run of Gradius III for the SNES on the special "Arcade" difficulty.
As with all my videos, this was done on real, original SNES hardware. I used the RGB output of the SNES into a Framemeister upscaler which is then captured by the El Gato HD Game capture card.
No emulators, cheats, hacks, or any other BS! Only the real deal! - เกม

holy shit!!!! After 17 years i finally found out the name of the game that i used to play with my cousin every saturday/sunday!!
Those were good times...
NoFrameHell took me 20years lol, n today is the day i found out T.T tears of joy
JrMedieval Glad you guys found it after all this time, it's really an awesome game!
Gradius is like Galaga on space cocaine. Frickin love this game. And don't even get me started on the soundtrack.
I literally just came here to say this. I was watching Isaac videos from NorthernLion and he mentioned this game. Talk about nostalgia...wow. I only remember up until half an hour in. Never did beat it
One of the most unforgettable shoot'em ups in history. I used to watch this with my older brother especially after school, PS. I still think that first boss is a ear tick.
This game in my opinion is one of the best games.watching this brings back so many memories i remember\miss about being a kid in the 90's
In most cases, Lag throws a serious wrench into a game and makes it unenjoyable. In Gradius, Lag is your friend.
So much so that it started as a glitch of sorts in the first game, but was deliberately added in in later installments and in competing game franchises as well.

I like to think of lag as a "Matrix effect", which lets you react more easily to fast and intense enemy attacks, lol.
When I was a kid playing this game, I thought the lag was purposely added so you could actually stand a chance in some of these insanely packed-with-bullets areas.....

If you want an intense scroller shooter, then check out "Summer Carnival '92: Recca" for the Famicom.
That game is pretty damn intense, it is probably the closest that a Famicom game has come to bullet hell and it also uses a very interesting rave soundtrack, with lots of heavy bass and electonic-sounding effects.
Thanks! Ill take a look :) Love me some bullet hell. Surely youve heard of CUPHEAD coming out...? If not Id recommend to check it out... its a side scrolling bullet hell game styled like an old 1920's-30's cartoon. :)
to beat this game, you must have low stress, regular exercise, healthy organic eating, and 8 hours of sleep every night. You also must have much confidence, because if you have any fear or anxiety playing this, the game will sense it and utterly annihilate you.
I have some of that I got past crystal core and the others but I was almost at mechanical base
@@Persac7 You need to meditate with the Dalai Lama for a few years and try again.
@@mr.4096 I'm late but I beat the game 3 times
@@Persac7 But i beat the game in hard mode 2 times !!
@@Persac7 but did you beat the SNES or arcade version?
Greatest music ever composed. Just took me back to my childhood
This was a lot of fun to watch. I felt how challenging it is. The sound of the ship crashing is so gut-wrenching. Thanks for posting!

Destroy Core!
speed up. option .destroy them all...
i do not regret putting over 200hrs into this game as a child
I put in a lot more time masturbating. A LOT!
@@modo236 lmao
OMG I can't believe you did the boss rush with no shield! 😱 You are a legend dude! I love this game soundtrack by the way!
One of the best games in snes history. GRADIUS 3.
In gaming history* other than sonic and mario
Soundtrack is superb
I agree
It actually one of the worst port for SNES, I only liked the retro vibe but the slowdown man..
@@ONIKdeftones To be fair it is a launch title so it is kind of expected at launch. At the very least the game is functional and playable despite the slowdown.
Best soundtrack ever man
Do you remember a bit of Ted Nugent in there? I watched this entire playlist and didn't hear it. th-cam.com/video/0c3d7QgZr7g/w-d-xo.html
What about Life force on NES?
i mean it's good but i still haven't heard anything that came close to wings of death
Back then when Konami wasn't being a jerk to the gaming world
Streets of Rage 2
33:25 my anxiety just went through the roof. That was an epic save!
thank you for posting this. this was me and my moms favorite game growing up and this mother’s day without her hits different than the others since shes passed. appreciate it!
Gradius III, U.N. Squadron and Darius Twins were my top snes spacecraft shooters.
Me and my brother still play this and Darius Twins every year around Turkey-day / X-mas. Still love the games.
the soundtrack brings me back.
2018 still an awesome game !!!
the most beautiful game and best soundtrack ever!!...
Amazing! The song at 26:00 is so so good! This soundtrack ROCKS!
You have good ears :)
Omg mi Infancia Resuelta en menos de una Hora, Casi Lloro de la Emoción, Thankyou So Much
Hats off to you sir. Good run. Glad to see i'm not the only one who loves this game.
Really amazing run. More impressive than deathless, imho, because you had to fight back from no power-ups a few times at ridiculously late points in the game.
Daniel Holley damn I agree 10000%
nah, a no death run in this game is practically impossible, it's a hell of a lot more impressive to never ever die because of the way this game is set up
you can know where the enemies will spawn but they attack based on where you are and with so many different levels and attacks it's really really easy to fuck up
it's rather easy to just use as many lives as it takes to complete the game, and a completely different story to only use one life or restart
I think the furthest I have ever made it without dying was just past the mega boss rush
Delimon007 I beat the game without dying on arcade difficulty
No Body proof?
Exactly!!!
Oh this game used to give me hell as a wee lad, but I've always had a spot in my heart for it!! Great SNES game!!!
very, very impressive. I was impressed you made it through the boss rush with no shield, but to come back from the spots you died at... wow. great run!
yeah,i think he is a big hero, or video game master.haha😂
Nostalgia pura, era un niño cuando lo jugaba.
Have been searching for this game for so long, played it as a kid and would always make it to the speed level 😄😄 found the first Gradius on the switch but it just isn't the same 😒 brings me back, thanks for posting !
Nice video and I'm glad that you put the losses in there also still awesome run
I legit thought you were done for at 33:28, but you managed to surprise me with that tight squeeze. Well done!
So many close calls in this game... it's terrifying.
Kick ass man! I remember this game was hard as hell as a kid! I had fun with it but I died MANY TIMES before I finally beat it. Ohhh the memories. Lol
Them skill shots with your options inside the boss's jaws. Damn.
one of the best flying nes games with the best weapon combos i loved the laser ring option along with the mega crush!
I love the soundtrack
Amo esse jogo !!💖💖💗💗 ay lover super Nintendo !!!!😭😭💖
Johnathan Jordan Sound effects are modest enough.
31:45 - That was rough, it sucks when the game locks the players into those loose-loose situations.
But either than that this was a fantastic playthrough! You played very well and I'm really impressed to watch someone to complete Arcade mode pretty much effortlessly like that!
I was able to be easy and normal regularly. Hard difficulty I only Beat It a single time and I only had two lives left! OoO
( did you know there's actually a hidden level? Play second and wait until you get to the section where the ships are coming out from above and below and after you've destroyed all of the enemy ships and there aren't any more bubbles flying around carefully maneuver the Vic Viper into one of the open areas of the bubbles whether it's above or below. Once you touch the bottom of the screen the game will freeze temporarily and then the ceiling and the ground will disintegrate and the music will change taking you to a completely different area where you can rack up your score extremely high and received power ups much faster compared to every other level in the game. After that you can pretty much skip over the rest of the second level and go straight into the third level. It's really tricky and it takes time to get it right but once you can pull it off it's a really neat secret~)
I was never able to get skilled at the game enough to be arcade mode though. But I always had lots of fun trying and improving. Maybe sometime I'll try again once by boot up the Super Nintendo again.
Gradius III will always go down as one of my most beloved Super Nintendo games of all time.
Thanks for playing and game on fellow-gamers.😎👍
There are at least 3 to 4 hidden levels in this game, the one you mentioned, stage 3 has one, the Moai stage has one, and the speed stage I believe also has one.
Great game play. Reminds me of the good times I had as a kid playing this game with my brother.
还是小时候无忧无虑，可以玩游戏不用考虑其他事情。
"I'm give up your appellation's technical monkey" was the most unexpected thing I ever saw after beating a video game on the hardest level back in the day. 😆
Megustava mucho jugar este juego también por las música que llevaba los escenarios
Te recomiendo Super Hydorah
There's a designer somewhere still having a laugh about that giant ass bubble of death they put in.
I love the bosses, stages and most importantly the music in this amazing game!
25:22 my body's shakin when I hear the music (literally)
Lol it's an easy boss tho
Yep
Boss is too easy lol
I remember I was 6 yrs old. Beating this game was one of the best moments in my life
When I was 6 I couldn’t get passed the bubble level 😂
@@neo5840i could just Pass the plant level, i was Stuck at the speedy level
Thanks for posting this. I watched a playthrough last night that was very clearly TAS without listing that it was. This sure looks like you were playing!
Thanks. All my runs are real on this channel, I don't do TAS runs.
This game's hard as hell. I remember trying it out when I bought Gradius 3&4 on PS2, and was like 😳 I could barely get past the second stage. You make it look easy man, props!
Ah yes, my favorite shoot 'em up of all time, and one of the first games I ever played. I never tire of this one! :)
Agreed. The space sections and boss battle music in particular always got me feeling so pumped!
i remember playing this for hours enjoying every single bit
Gradius 3 Los Jefes Son Sorprendentes Y Los Niveles Exelentes
Mula sa mga barkada! Yung tipong naglalaro ka nito tapos madami kang manonood sa likod mo na tuwang tuwa pag natatapos mo hehe.. sa pilipinas sikat yan highschool ako nahilig dyan hehe.. gradius 3 is the best arcade game ever. ☺☺
Yung nakakabadtrip talaga yung biglang papatayin ung switch...
True!! Ahahahah
Mas badtrip pa jan nung wala ka nang piso....tapos nakalimutan e pause...
One of my all time favorite SNES games. Beat it on Arcade.
I would use the Reduce shield, with the Formation Option and Twin Laser. If you got all of the options, then picked up enough power ups to highlight the option power again, you could expand and contract the formation at will, almost covering the screen in a wall of lasers. Made it difficult for anything to get near you. Anything that did was easily evaded with your reduced size.
Hawk-wind missiles too, right? If so that’s the load out I like to use.
@@Hyper_Drud yep
I use a similar configuration, with some changes. I use rotation option along with reduce and ripple/twin laser. I also go with small spread and tailgun. I often go with the full barrier for the exclamation mark.
Impressive - try as I might I was never that good to finish these kinds of games!
i remember as a kid at the flame stage, i jumped for joy when i finally killed the 2 headed dragon and died to the exploding body peices right after......rip....made me cry so hard.
Ohhh same... Its my 1st time encountes that boss... Hehe
Get the 2 headed dragon to circle you so when you kill it off, the pieces will fly AWAY from you!
I always liked the miniature shield.
bones10145 the mini isnt really a shield. It just shrinks you so it makes the enemy harder to hit you.
@Jumpy Cat hurt/hitboxes are a thing, look it up
@@fungifago aren't hurtboxes for fighting games?
OMG! I still remember this game when I was 7 😍.
Rosia "CrazyPlantMae"
This game was one of the launch titles in America.
The launch titles for the SNES were actually quite amazing:
even the Japanese launch titles "Super Mario World" and "F-Zero" (which were also launch titles everywhere in the world) were good enough to start with, but America also got "Gradius 3", "Sim City" and "PilotWings" as well, and all those games were different from each other.
Perfect start for an amazing console.
This sound track was phenomenal!!!!!!!! One of my top 5 video games for the SNES
This is already insane, but now that there's an patch that fixes all the slowdown in the game, a run like this would be complete madness.
MAN I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Very impressive, you were humble enough to show a runplay where you died. You are a great player!!!
im not a great gamer by any means, but growing up through this era, this is one of the games i could NEVER beat. excellent work here!
ahhhh good ol gradius 3, good times, damn good times.
Feels like an imperfect remix port of the arcade game. The Gradius 1,2 and Salamander/Lifeforce references get lost with changed boss music. With that said, still looks fun.
Cara que nostalgia esse game e simplesmente fantástico poxa que saudades das epocas das locadoras
Great job dude on clearing this game on that damn hard difficulty! In this category it is for sure within the hardest shmups......
+Angelostar88 Thanks dude!!
right! the gradius/salamander series is one of the hardest shooters for VI players like myself. easy to get blown.
My god! The high quality of this gameplay!
This was MY GAME growing up. Oh the nostalgia watching this video! This is straight up like a Nardwar question “Charlie, is it true you loved Gradius growing up?!?”
Good run and nice recoveries. There's now a version of the SNES game without any slow-down - its pretty tough, though still nothing compared to the arcade game.
sin duda alguna el mejor juego ....
What can I say...
"I'm give up your appellation's" ;)
Great job. The Arcade mode is quite a challenge, even with those slowdowns all over the place.
so awesome man props
Very well done 🐸🐸
31:45 dont know why i started laughing so hard when i saw that.
Exactly I laughed to caused it was do unexpected he was in a row and just died like that
i love the soundtract of this game since when i was a child old but gold
24:04 that felt like a movie scene, the slow down while dodging and the music matching the speed up.
ah my beautiful childhood, full of games like this that tortured me to no end
just an fyi it's best to remember exactly where the enemies spawn and kill them as soon as they get on screen, it's a bad idea to let them fire at all tbh though sometimes you don't really have a choice but when you do you should definitely take advantage of that
One of the games that defined my childhood
I was born... out of the greediness of mankind... while men exists, so well I!
Lab this game so much. Miss my childhood days man! :'/
Best game soundtrack ever
Great run!
Goes to boss rush without shield. What a chad lmao.
And I appreciate that you used type c. Most people just straight up used the OP combination of reduce and f option. That is also my pick but it's refreshing to see different ship type being utilized.
Mad props very impressive
Great stuff!
man i spent a lot of time playing this game got so good knew all the secret levels
Love the "Easter Island" Figures,using "O" Rings!
Well done!!!
I love this soundtrack.....It make me wish to go to the space.
The arcade version on Switch bodied me so hard that I have to go back to the SNES version today. The SNES indeed is still a tough game but at least this is for human beings.
Back in the days when games had a satisfying ending after 30 mins - an hour of hell.
Lol yeah like a single screen of just text saying Congratulations!

One of my favorite games from childhood ♥️
Where is our *Gradius Anniversary Collection* Konami?! 😭😤
Sadly not enough ppl care about 2d shooters, despite how excellent and fun they can be. Sucks
Retro Soul "Sadly, no one outside the hard-core and Japan cares about 2D shooters"
Fixed.
@@85futureshock This is sad but true. Its a very niche genre to enjoy.
@@retrosoul8770 I got my R•Type Collectors Edition for the Snes, but yes, something like a Gradius Collectors Edition would be great.
OH MY GOD
I Have this game on my snes, AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THOSE BOXES WERE AN ISSUE WITH MY CONSOLE
HOLY CRAP IM SO RELIVED NOW OMG
I would always die at that ceiling flinging rocks at me and maneuvering the small spaces afterwards. Such a big spike in difficulty especially if you loose your weapons
holy shit men!! insane gameplay
Oh man, you just made this so entertaining when you started the bosses stage with no shield! I was rooting here on my sofa hahaha
And then you died in the next stage and was like "oohhhhh!!"
Such a bad place to die! Hate when that happens 😂
I could tell how pissed you were at the last stage after dying twice just by the way you started playing haha
Thankfully the last boss is the easiest boss on the run, so having not much power ups there is not really an issue.
Awesome!
Best nostalgia I ever had
1 of my favorit game in my younger years
My childhood game. Nostalgic
The background music of this game is so exiting
Departure for space sounds so lively and catchy.
I preferred manually picking my weapons and options instead of the preset ones. Watching this gameplay, I cringe at certain parts of the game but she managed to pull through regardless. For shields, the miniature option is best because it makes your ship super small where you can dodge and squeeze through a lot of obstacles.
By far, the best Gradius soundtrack ever!!!!!
Agreed! Best combo is E. Laser, R. Option and reduce. Like you said, you can squeeze into tight spots, still take multiple hits and the E. Laser and R. Option combo from a barrier around you that destroys anything that comes too close to you.
2004 the last game i remember. I love this game
Omg! My favorite game as a kid 🙃
A lot of people seem to complain about the slowdowns, but I actually use them to my advantage.
It is VERY helpful to shoot as much as possible when there are lots of projectiles around, since this slows down the gameplay and gives you more reaction time.
Yeah lag is your friend here.
The fire stage always killed me. I’m guaranteed to lose a life and start from scratch on that level.
Kaway kaway sa mga batang gapo at addicts sa Broadway nung 90's. I stopped my 2nd year in high school because of these arcades games. Pero kung mauulit ang panahon na yon , I will do it again.!!!
