A recent edit to this article states that the game was retroactively added to the R-Type continuity. But consider the facts:

1. The original arcade flyer refers to the craft as an R-11; an R-Type. I suppose one might try to argue "just because Irem gave the fighter an R-Type desigination doesn't mean that it's an R-Type!" But Irem, more than anyone, knows the significance of the R-Type name. Irem coming out with an R- craft that's not intended to be part of R-Type would be like Nintendo making a game called Super Mario Something that has nothing to do with their famous plumber or his games and is instead about some guy who just happens to be named Mario.

2. The R-Type Special CD features music from all the R-Type arcade games, and from only the R-Type arcade games. It contains two tracks of music from Gallop, just like R-Type and II and Leo get two tracks. The CD came out just two years after Gallop. How likely is it that Irem would add the game to the R-Type series just to put its music on a CD homage to the R-Type series?

Considering the game's obscurity in the West, it's understandable that someone would see it and think someone was just trying to shoehorn it into a famous series' continuity, like with Scramble and the Gradius series. It is a "sidestory" like Leo, and like Leo it uses different game mechanics from the main series and doesn't include the Bydo. However, the evidence all points to Gallop being part of continuity from its inception. R4624612 04:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
