The game mode is divided into NORMAL or MASTER (for the latter case, the enemy's overall health and quantity is overwhelmingly increased), the player can uses 2 optional items (most are weapons, but Life recovery items and Shield items are also selectable) in both modes (although, in the Japanese version of NORMAL mode, the player must use the Aime ID card)
