Though I cannot even fathom how bad this is going to look, at one point
I downloaded around 600 manuals from some site back in the day. MUSHA is
one of them. All of them are in HTML, so if you want the original
copy(if what I'm about to paste comes out unreadable) just email me:

HOW TO PLAY THE SEGA GENESIS ® GAME
"M.U.S.H.A. METALLIC UNIFRAME SUPER HYBRID ARMOR TM"
While viewing the DEMONSTRATION SCREEN press the START BUTTON on
CONTROLLER 1 to raise the TITLE SCREEN. Use the control pad to move the
flashing cursor next to OPTIONS and press the START BUTTON to raise the
OPTIONS SCREEN. Use the control pad and the C BUTTON to sample MUSIC
from the game. Use the control pad to highlight GAME LEVEL and select a
level of gameplay, (EASY, NORMAL, or HARD). Use the control pad and any
button to sample SOUND effects from the game. Once you are finished use
the control pad to highlight EXIT and press the START BUTTON twice to
return to the TITLE SCREEN. Use the control pad to move the flashing
cursor next to GAME START and press the START BUTTON to begin gameplay.
USING THE CONTROLLER

A BUTTON- Select FREE, FORWARD, 3-WAY, BACK, REVERSE, or ROLL from

C BUTTON- Fire weapon
CONTROL PAD +
Press Right- Fly to the right
Press Left- Fly to the left

PLAYING THE GAME
A status display is exhibited across the top of the action screen
showing the score, the ARM LEVEL, a weapons mode, a weapons power
display (ship), and the number of lives remaining. You begin the game
with three lives and get bonus lives for high scoring, (you get your
first bonus life at 100,000). You must blast your way through seven
stages of all out intergalactic warfare. Press the A BUTTON to change
your weapons mode and alternate between FREE (support drones will break
off from your fighter and independently engage the enemy), FORWARD,
3-WAY (three way triangulated forward fire), BACK (fire forward and
backwards), REVERSE (fires weapons in the direction opposite to that in
which you are pressing the control pad), or ROLL (droid support craft
will orbit your fighter). A power up craft bearing the number 2 and
power up spheres will appear from time to time. Hit the craft with
weapons fire and it will drop a payload of power up canisters,
(canisters are designated by the number 2). Catch the canisters as they
drop toward the bottom of the screen to power up your weapons, (increase
the strength of your weapon). Hit sphere-like objects with weapons fire
and they will launch a plane. Collect a blue sphere-like object and your
fighter will be shielded by an orbiting ball of brilliant energy.
Collect a green sphere-like object and your fighter will be armed with a
laser beam, (accessory weapon). Collect a red sphere-like object and you
will be armed with multi-directional bombs, (accessory weapon). Press
the B BUTTON to use accessory weapons against the enemy. At the end of
each stage you must battle, and defeat, a powerful adversary in order to
advance in the game. If you get hit by enemy fire, or collide with an
enemy or solid object you will be injured or lose a life. When all your
lives are gone you may CONTINUE gameplay from the beginning of the last
stage attempted.

That's odd, you'd think they'd be relatively cheap.

Though the game(SFA) bores me to death, I will tell you it's MUCH better
than the SNES version. This one uses a higher polygon count for the
ships and just runs smoother.
