Aoba Anoa in her Riding Viper, the Vic Viper T-301. The only actual difference with the T-301 model is that the options are blue instead of orange. The weapon set remains the same.

Hyper Mode (Metalion Viper)

Hyper Aoba Anoa and her Riding Viper, the Metalion. Aoba reaches this form and the Metalion Viper resonates with her when her Gradian blood awakens. This Hyper form is for advanced and expert players, because there is a total of nine slots on the powerup meter with the addition of Back Beam, Up Laser and Down Laser… and on top of this, she now has a maximum of two options.

S = Speed

M = Missile

Special 1 = Back Beam

D = Double

Special 2 = Up Laser

Special 3 = Down Laser

L = Laser

O = Option

? = Force Field

Platonic Break = Homing Laser Max Power

• Up Laser and Down Laser can be combined with her regular Laser, but take note that the Up AND Down Laser weapons cannot be simultaneously used, just like Metalion.
• Up Laser and Double cannot be used simultaneously.
• Down Laser and Missile cannot be used simultaneously.

TriviaEdit

• Anoa's DLC BGMs are based from the Gradius series, but focused in the Arcade Trilogy, such as "Challenger 1985", "Synthetic Life" or "In the Wind".
• Anoa's alternate DLC costume is her St. Gradius school uniform in both Otomedius G and X.
• In Otomedius X, the concept of her becoming more powerful with the transformation of Hyper Anoa as her Platonic power grows is great from a story perspective, but when it happens in gameplay, it strips all of your powers and weapons, leaving you to face the final stage with default speed, no weapons, and no options.
• The exclusive laser weapon that comes with this outfit is the Vector Laser. It is more or less a blue-colored and expanding version of the Wave (Spread) Laser weapon, although power seems to be a bit stronger.
