Even though the level is completely devoid of any enemies, free floating power-ups are scattered throughout. In this mini-level, the player controls the Vic Viper in a third-person (behind the ship) perspective and must avoid colliding with walls. Stage 4 is notorious for being the first and only pseudo-3D level to ever appear in the Gradius series. There are a total of ten levels in the game. The Fighters take off for the heart of darkness to join the fray that will decide the fate of the Universe. In a last gasp move, the United Gradius World Forces send out two fighters, previously considered too dangerous for combat missions: The InterDimensional VIC VIPER fighters. But they are badly outnumbered and the Dark Forces easily tear through their thin front line. Half of them form a defensive net - the other half a strike team. To counter the oncoming threat the United Gradius World Forces gather all their fighter craft. Now Bacterian's evil grasp reaches for the heart of the resistance. Their invasion force smashes the Gradius defenses, and the surrounding planets soon fall like dominoes. Possessing unstoppable power, the Dark Forces threaten to plunge the Universe into total war and complete annihilation. The Dark Forces led by the god of destruction, Bacterian, prepare to launch a massive onslaught against the planet Gradius. In the darkest reaches of infinite space, pure evil lies in wait.
