You take on the role of either Ann (a royal army soldier who is out to protect the kingdom) or Erio (an arms dealer with a thirst for action). The game is set in the future and it appears a major incident has transformed what used to be a peace-filled nation into a troubled land of waste and ruin. What exactly has happened in this land remains unknown but whatever it was, it has damaged the earth's surface. Now the entire location is immersed in water. Our gallant heroes must now protect the earth's remains from the dastardly evil empire that are planning to take over the world. Dolphin Blue is an action side-scrolling shoot-em up with great graphics, super sound and gripping gameplay that will leave you sitting on the edge of your dolphin!

TRIVIA
Dolphin Blue was released on August 05, 2003.

TIPS AND TRICKS
-Unlock the Endings:
After beating the last boss, you'll get a Rank depending on how many medals you collected during the last stage. The ending will vary depending on the Rank achieved.
1) Worst Ending = Seaman Recruit Rank (less than 25 medals)
2) Regular Ending = Ordinary Rate / Lieutenant Rank (between 30-400 medals)
3) Best Ending = Lt. Commander / Captain Rank (between 420-590 medals)
4) Best Ending + Extra Scenes = Rear Admiral Rank and above (over 600 medals)

-Alternative Credits and Extra Scenes:
If you beat the game without using a continue, the credits will have different images, and character sprites will parade through the screen. There will also be a post-credit scene hinting of a sequel.
