There are in total 7 levels, the first three set on Earth and the last four in space.

This is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em-up which (as many other vertically scrolling shooters do) offers the option to either play the game in "yoko" or "tate" screen flipping modes depending on whether your tv is placed on its side or not.

Technique In arcades, it was the first game to use the "Taito Type X arcade system"-board.

It implements a 3D scrolling system permitting the scenery to move in three dimensions: climbing, descending, vertically moving.

Weapons Main weapons ◦ Yellow Vulcan Shot Spread weapon - shoots streams of 2/4 projectiles in 3/5/7 directions. ◦ Green Proton Laser Replaces the characteristic "toothpaste" plasma laser of the Raiden series. ◦ Blue Laser (new to the series) A continuous forward-facing blue laser, lateral ship movement makes it swerve slightly.

Secondary Weapons ◦ Nuclear Missile ("M" power-up) Dumb-fire missiles that spread out laterally then accelerate forward.

In addition to direct hits, the explosions cause damage as well. ◦ Homing Missile ("H" power-up) Homing missiles that target the closest enemy around the player; weak damage, but it protects the ship on its flanks. ◦ Radar Missile ("R" power-up) A partially guided missile; the missiles drift laterally until they align with enemies and charge forward.

The radar missiles' explosions cause damage as well.

Smart bomb A ball of flame spreads out around the ship.

The bomb stock can be increased with bomb power-ups ("B" on a spinning triangle).

The ship can carry up to 7 bombs.

About PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.

Gamevaro tracks Raiden III x Mikado Maniax for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Raiden III x Mikado Maniax to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2023.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
