The game follows the same plot and general stage layout of the original, although with many notable enhancements and additions:
- Fully redrawn 16-bit graphics, on par with the SNES version of Gradius III.
- Smooth scrolling and better controls due to the more powerful hardware.
- Fully remixed soundtrack, as well as new sound effects.
- A handful of new bosses exclusive to this version, which replace the boss rematches of the original.
- Two new stages: an asteroid field and a waterfall area.
