Watch on YouTubeAt 43:38 in the embedded CSG video is a short trailer for Taiyou no Yuusha: Fighbird, mostly consisting of anime footage..

Prerelease	Final

• The life bar used to have a colon separating the hearts and the number of lives. This was removed in the final.
• The trailer is missing the clear conditions for the stage. (The c# above the lifebar.)
• The color of the floor was changed to a lighter blue.
• The enemies shown in the trailer do not show up in any stage in the final game.
• The trailer is lacking the fire-spewing geysers and craters, and an extra blue rock was added to the right side of the screen.

Prerelease	Final

• The design of the walls is much more basic than the final, with plain flat yellow tops and none of the... things on the fronts.
• Great Fighbird is MUCH smaller than in the final game.
• In the trailer, the final stage, 4-3, has a timer. In the final game only the #-1 shmup sections of stages have timers, none of the mech section do. Given the tiny size of the Fighbird sprite, comparable in size to the regular vehicles, this may indicate Fighbird was intended to be playable in the shmup sections.
