How to Play Space Invaders
Quick start
Press START at the title screen, choose 1 Player and start on Normal difficulty. The campaign opens on Pluto. Move the Tank along the lower edge, destroy each descending formation before it reaches the ground and take cover behind the barriers when volleys become crowded. Shoot four Invaders of the same type consecutively to earn a single-use special weapon; preserve the chain and keep the special shot for a dense formation or the boss. Clear Pluto's waves and boss to travel on to Neptune. Beating the Normal campaign adds Classic Mode to the main menu.
Controls
Move the Tank left or right with the Control Pad. A fires the standard cannon; B uses the stored power-up after its energy bar is complete. START pauses. In menus, move the highlight with the Control Pad, press A to select and B to return. The unlocked Classic Mode keeps Left/Right movement, A fire and START pause, but does not use the campaign's special-weapon action.
