I'll add what I can when I can. Since I can't read Japanese, its hard for me to
provide useful information.

File started. I can't even beat level 1. But maybe someone else can with my
help.

I'll go in order of when things come to you:

---------------------
Main Menu:
---------------------

New Game
Load Game
Options (I recommend not fooling with anything in here)
Controls (In Japanese, not very useful to the rest of us)

---------------------
Controls:
---------------------

Analog Stick: Movement
D-Pad: Aim
B: Cruiser Mode
A: Assault Mode
X: Combat Mode
Y: Weapons Mode On\Off
	A: Left Weapon
	B: Right Weapon
	X: Mounted Weapon

When your weapons are on, you cannot see the map. This is very important, as
the levels are mazes.

---------------------
In-Game Menu:
---------------------

COM: Talking to people. I don't know if it has any use, maybe it provides
hints.
DATA: Maps, enemy info, VF info
 ---
On the map, the green dots show the "closet rooms" as I call them. You must get
the map information before you can use this.
 ---
WEAPONS: Equip weapons, drop them
 ---
To set a weapon, select it, and hit the set button.
Left Weapon = A
Right Weapon = B
Mounted Weapon = X
I think that maybe these are the only weapons you'll ever get. It seems that
the rocket launcher can only be mounted and the others can only be set left or
right.
 ---
ITEM: You can heal yourself here
SYSTEM: Options. You can load and save here.
BACK: Leaves menu
GAME END: um... game end.

---------------------
LEVEL 1:
---------------------

Whenever you come across a sliding door that opens into a little closet space
type of room, go in it. It may have Repair Units, Power Units, and in this
level: S-Vulcan weapon, Card, Card Key, and the terminal.

First, go up the left set of stairs in the room and take the door right there.
If you go the wrong way (the right way, coincidentally) you get some speech
from Blondie. If at all possible, avoid speeches, because you can't get out of
them.  Kill the guy (kil everything you come in contact with, I won't be
mentioning them anymore), then have some more talking.  Follow the map  and
explore all areas of the level, for items and completing the level purposes. 
You now get to talk to girlie.  Then some doors you can't open begin to pop up,
so take the one you can.  At the point where you are caught in a pincer attack
by the two hover dudes, take a right to get the S-Vulcan, and take a left (all
the way left) to get the card key (beforehand you will talk to girlie). When
you're done with all of this, go back towards the beginning of the level. After
going up those steps, and crossing a large open room with three little closet
doors (which have two items, I think), you will be in a small corridor with
three closets. This is where you want to be. The first one has a Card, and the
third has the terminal.  Get the card, and enter in the third set of numbers as
the password, and you will get some map data. Now, I am officially lost. Any
help would be appreciated.
