Legendary Wings (Arcade)

Michelle Heart / Generic Guy #1 and Kevin Walker / Generic Guy #2 star in this combination shoot 'em up / action platformer. Defeat the Dark!

Villain names were simpler back then.

Unused Music


(Top: Unused arcade track / Bottom: Used audio in the NES port)

Track is used as the 'Stage Clear' jingle in the NES port, though audio data exists for it in the Arcade version. However, the Arcade version has its own unique 'Stage Clear' jingle... Which leaves this version unheard.

Track is used in-game for the name entry screen. However, only around 30 seconds are heard in-game -- The full track is approximately 1:51 in length!

Region Differences
Each version of the game changes the player characters.


 * In the Japanese version, Player 1 is Michelle Heart and Player 2 is Kevin Walker.
 * In US Set 1, both characters were changed to identical palette-swapped men. The wings were redesigned as well, turned golden and given more detail.
 * In US Set 2, the characters sprites are identical to the Japanese version, but Michelle's suit was changed from pink to green.

The Japanese screen has an additional screen during Attract Mode that introduces the player characters. These unique sprites can't be seen in any other version.

Revision Differences
Here are some differences between US sets 1 and 2.

While Set 1 keeps the Japanese high score list, the second set changes them. Staff members, perhaps?

The ornament atop the dragon statue is much brighter in Set 1 than in the Japanese game / Set 2.

The design of the palace walls was changed in Set 1.
