Getting Shot Down and
Game Over
As your vehicle takes damage, the shield gauge will go down. If it empties completely, the number of vehicles remaining is reduced by one, and you must start the mission again from the beginning (or from the checkpoint). If the vehicle is shot down when you have no more vehicles remaining, it’s game over.
♦In Nintendo 3DS mode, you can continue after a game over.
♦If you don’t continue and you scored enough total hits to reach the current top ten high scores, your name and high score can be recorded in the game rankings.
