Gameplay

Twin Cobra II Twin Cobra II Wikipedia

Plays similarly to the previous Twin Cobra. There are six stages, and only one loop. Players can now convert normal bombs to powerful "Hyper Bombs" by collecting normal bombs after reaching the full (five) stock of them.

Three weapons, switched with color-changing "P" icon: balanced "Red-Fang", wide-area "Blue-Smasher", and a powerful green weapon unique to each player side. Blue 1P heli has male pilot and the "Thunder-Claw", red 2P heli has female pilot and the "Binchou-Laser". Red and blue weapons require pressing the shoot button rapidly for more power; green weapons don't.

Like most other Toaplan games, non-Japanese versions have a lower difficulty level.

Saturn version

The Saturn version features an exclusive Saturn Mode with a new stage.
