San Diego is the sixth EX stage in Xeno Fighters R. The stage takes place in the real-life United States city of San Diego, California.
Stage branching[]
Stage EX-6 is reached upon completing the objective of Stage EX-5 (Lair of the Leviathan). Clearing Stage EX-6 will take the player to Stage F-C (BRES Colony).
San Diego landmarks represented[]
The stage begins at the Inspiration Point North Parking Lot, then crosses the Interstate 5 highway (locally called the I-5). The player then flies over Balboa Stadium, located near San Diego High School. Encountered next is San Diego City College, a community college located downtown. The player than passes over downtown San Diego, parallel along 15th and 16th Streets. Downtown landmarks passed along the way include the San Diego Police Headquarters and the St. Vincent de Paul Village, a charitable non-profit organization.
Black Heart's appearance warning appears upon reaching the neighborhood of Barrio Logan, across the San Diego Trolley Blue Line. The player encounters Cesar Chavez Park, right before the San Diego-Coronado Bridge (locally called the Coronado Bridge). The player then flies at high speed over the San Diego Bay to engage in a deadly fight against Black Heart.
Development history[]
The stage originally went by the name San Diego Hell. This is an artifact title, when the boss was supposed to be a demonic creature instead of the current boss Black Heart.
The stage was given a midboss, Hummingbird from Raiden Fighters 2, in v0.250. The waves of Stymphalian Birds bombers was drastically reduced and large enemies from Stage EX-5 replaced the large enemies from earlier versions.
The stage backgrounds were created using Google Maps. The stage starts facing southwards at this exact location in San Diego.
