Tried a couple of minutes on normal and figured I could handle hard. I did manage to beat the game on hard, but it was literally the most difficult thing I have ever done in my history of gaming. Even with hardcore save state scumming every 5 seconds, I nearly gave up a couple times. The boss of the 2nd last level was ridiculous; flying a jet inside a cave trying to defeat a boss that is above you and shielded on the sides, so only vertical attacks work (and there is no way to make the basic attack go vertically). On top of that, there are infinite adds spawning from both sides, and the basic attack also does not shoot behind. I did manage to work out the pattern, but there is extremely little room for error and almost entirely revolves around proper switching of special weapons between vertical to damage the boss, and something to kill the adds behind you. Edit: After reading a walkthrough, you can switch special weapons while the game is paused. That would have helped a bit.
Final boss was easy compared to that.
I played as Micky and used the starter plane until I could afford the best one.
