 As such, in Arcade/Additional modes and with default settings, there are a maximum of four lives to [[Help:Glossary#1cc|1-ALL]] the game with, and five to [[Help:Glossary#1cc|2-ALL]] with.

+In Overkill mode only, two additional 1UPs can be earned in the first bonus stage (which takes place after stage 3) by collecting all 20 fairies and in the second bonus stage (which takes place after stage 5) by destroying more than 1000 meteorites for both loops, making it a total of nine lives (six for 1-ALL) for this mode.
 ==== Loop 1 Hidden 1UP Location ====
 In Stage 4, around the middle of the level, you descend into a section with a circle of statues with faces. If you do ''not'' destroy the two statues on the left when you first see them and allow them to leave the screen, but then destroy all the statues, the last statue destroyed will release the 1UP.
-The clue to this secret relates to the diamonds that appear on the statue's forheads. The first two statues do not have the diamond lit in red up when you first see them, only after the screen rotates back around to them. To obtain the 1UP, all statues are killed while they have the red lit diamond.

-Raiden IV’s gameplay is characterized by medium quantities of bullets, fast bullet-speeds, an absence of static obstacles, and a multiple-weapon power-up system. This puts it in line with the style of previous game in the series as well as traditional vertical arcade shmups of the early 90s, where the Raiden series originated.
