Game Instructions:

This is part five of Takeuchi's Star Dust series.  In this chapter, our hero 
must do battle with "Big Face".  

Use the d-pad to move left and right.  Use the A button to fire your laser to 
try and hit Big Face.  Big Face can fire back at you, as well, so look out for 
that!  If you hit him 10 times, then he will explode and you will move on to 
the next level.  Big Face descends closer and closer to you as the levels 
progress.

There is also a white ball that bounces around.  It cannot be destroyed, but 
you sometimes receive 10 points for dodging it.

At the end of each stage, you will receive 1000 x Stage-Number bonus points. 
When you run out of lives, if you have gotten the high score, you can use the 
d-pad and A button to enter your name for the high score display, which is 
seen on the title screen.

Cheats:

If you load the game up in Family Basic, you can add the following lines to 
the code to cheat:

- Type in "111 LE=99" to start the game with 99 lives.
- Type in "112 RO=6" to start the game on stage 6.
