As in SuperNOVA2, the EXTRA STAGE uses a battery life bar, starting with a number of lives based on the score obtained in the special FINAL STAGE. A score of 950,000 (any AA) gives one life, a score of 962,500 gives two lives, a score of 975,000 gives three lives, and a score of 990,000 (any AAA) gives the maximum of four lives. Unlike SuperNOVA2, the battery segments will be rainbow-colored as long as no lives are lost, rather than only being rainbow-colored if the bar is maxed out at 4 lives. | As in AC SuperNOVA2, the EXTRA STAGE uses a battery life bar, starting with a number of lives based on the score obtained in the special FINAL STAGE.
