Using CLIMAX Mode allows a larger number of enemies to be locked on to and taken out at once.
During CLIMAX Mode the lock-on cursor expands, providing more opportunities to attack. You can now quickly
lock onto multiple enemies. During CLIMAX Mode, the number of remaining missile shots is unlimited.
In CLIMAX Mode, motion can begin by pushing the throttle lever all the way to CLIMAX position, the farthest
point away from you.
The Climax Gauge must also be full before CLIMAX Mode will activate. Keeping the throttle lever pushed all the
way from you will keep CLIMAX Mode active.
