==Trivia== *G-Darius is the only game of the series that does not use the same pilots from the previous games (Proco & Tiat) and the relationship between the new pilots in G-Darius is given more emphasis than its predecessors. One of the motifs of G-Darius is supposed to be the "exodus of [[Adam and Eve]]". *The Alpha/Beta beam duel addition is not a new motif to Taito; 'beam duelling' between player and enemy first appeared in Taito's experimental shooter [[Metal Black (video game)|Metal Black]]. Even the color schemes are carried over; player Newalone beams and Alpha Beams are both light blue, while Nemesis Newalone beams and Beta Beams are light purple. *The Capture Ball system is rooted in the mid-boss capture system in [[Darius Gaiden]]. There, the Captain vessels had Capture Ball-like objects embedded in them. By focusing one's fire on the ball, a player could, instead of just destroying the Captain, dislodge the ball. After doing so, catching it would cause the Captain to fight alongside the player for a time before exploding. In G-Darius, most captured enemies sport a Capture Ball in the same way the Gaiden Captains did. *Some of the game's developers later left Taito and started a new company, [[G.rev]].[http://datobase.arcadehits.net/rom.php?zip=gdarius] Their game ''[[Border Down]]'' is similar to ''G-Darius'', as well as to ''[[Metal Black (video game)|Metal Black]]''. *The Omicron ending is meant to portray the Belser Army finding and appropriating the wreckage of the destroyed Thiima around Darius and Kazumn for themselves. *The game's title is an intentional anagram of [[Gradius]].
