Level Structure
The Raiden Fighters series introduces a partially non-linear level structure. The first two games have seven levels each. These seven levels are arranged into three Missions. The first two Missions have three levels each: two randomly ordered short levels (lasting about one minute in length before the boss encounter) ending with a long boss level, which involves making strikes against different parts of the boss, and lasts between three and four minutes. The final Mission in both of the first two games is a lengthy approach over the main enemy base.
Raiden Fighters Jet's level structure is even less linear. Progression is governed by how well a player performs in a given level, and each level path gives a different end-game sequence. Players can never play through all levels available in Raiden Fighters Jet in one play session.

Famous quotes containing the words level and/or structure:
“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
