Ports
Darius II was ported to the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1990 and Sega Master System in 1992, under the names "Darius II" (Japanese Mega Drive) and "Sagaia" (European Master System, US Genesis; not to be confused with the Game Boy game related to the original Darius). The Mega Drive version has 2 main differences with respect to Darius II. The first one is that Steel Spine and Killer Hijia are not present (the player(s) only has to defeat Alloy Lantern in order to advance to the Venus Stage). The second difference is an exclusive new boss called Nehonojia (a mackerel skeleton) on the X area. In 1993, the PC Engine CD received an enhanced port titled Super Darius II, featuring all-new exclusive bosses and an arranged soundtrack. The arcade version was later ported to the Sega Saturn in 1996, complete with two-player mode and stretchable wide screen modes.
