Status screens - Mystic Square
If you play as usual on Normal/Hard/Lunatic difficulties and you start with 3 or less lives, the 'Clear Bonus!!' screen will not contain any penalties. The difficulty bonus will be shown in green.
This post will contain references from both trial and full version. The trial version screen is similar to the one from Lotus Land Story full version, excepting that the 'POINT Bonus' is now written with Japanese symbols and there is no 'Bomb Extend ! !' at the end of the stage. In the full version, the 'POWER x 50' bonus does not exist anymore and the position of the point bonus is shifted (now also having an '×' before it).
If you start with more than 3 lives, a corresponding penalty will be added. The more lives you start with, the greater the penalty. Similarly, if you Continue, a corresponding penalty will be added. The more times you Continue, the greater the penalty. Left side pictures are from the trial version, while the right side pictures are from the full version.
If you play on Easy, the difficulty bonus will be shown with red instead of green.
If you timeout the last attack of a boss, the difficulty bonus, the continue penalty (if existing) and the life penalty (if existing) are replaced by a failure multiplier of '× 0.0’ ('Failed to exterminate evil spirit boss’).
Compared to Lotus Land Story's trial where you got the 'Congratulation!!' at the end of stage 3, in Mystic Square's trial you just get a regular "Clear Bonus!!'. You can get the 'Congratulation!!' screen only in the full version, at the end of stage 6 or extra stage.
The 'Congratulation!!' screen has an 'ALL Clear' bonus instead of the 'STAGE Bonus' , a 'Lives remaining in stock' multiplier and a 'Total Point Item Bonus'.
Additional bonuses are awarded in the full version for 'No miss' and 'No bomb'. You can get those at the end of any stage. If you die, you will not get the 'No bomb' even if you did not use any bomb. But if you use a bomb and not die, you will get the 'No miss' bonus.
If you start with more than 3 lives, you will not get the 'Total Point Item Bonus', the row will be replaced by the life penalty. At the date of writing this post (19-Jan-2024) I'm not sure if that text is just overwritten or actually the bonus is not awarded at all. Also, if you continue, you will not get the 'No miss' and 'No bomb' bonus, but you will get the 'Total Point Item Bonus'.
Timeouting does not impact the 'No miss', 'No bomb' or 'Total Point Item Bonus'.
The extra stage 'Congratulation!!' screen does not seem to have anything different than the stage 6 one, so I will not include it in this post.
