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:
“Those who profess contempt for men, and put them on a level with beasts, yet wish to be admired and believed by men, and contradict themselves by their own feelings—their nature, which is stronger than all, convincing them of the greatness of man more forcibly than reason convinces them of his baseness.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
