• TIPS AND TRICKS -
• Secret Message in Xevious: The programmer has included a trick for generating a message right at the beginning of the game. When Solvalou appears, move to the right edge of the screen, wait a few seconds and drop a single bomb as soon as the music changes (after the long note).

The arrangement version uses a different music, you need to drop a single bomb when you hear the 12th beat, or when the first set of ring-shaped spaceships has reached the same height of your crosshair.
In original version / normal mode, the message 'Namco ORIGINAL Program by EVEZOÒ will appear on the screen.
In original version / super mode, the message is 'Special thanks for you by game designer Evezoo'.
In arrangement version, the message is 'This game is dedicated to the original XEVIOUS staff'.
