After finally getting an oppertunity between classes and homework, I turned on the old NES and began playing again. After playing through the first level and beating the boss in record time, instead of moving on to the 2nd level, myy ship began accelerating and was warped to the level with those statues that look like the ones on Easter Island. Although I was happy to skip ahead like that, I was frustrated that I ended up in that level because that level is very difficult... almost too difficult!

Interesting -- I've played Gradius many times, but have never experienced this warp ahead behavior...

You have to beat the boss ship really quickly. Within seconds of when his core changes color. (I looked it up, trying to figure out why it happened)
