The title screen displays large red and orange stylized Japanese characters positioned over a bright full moon against a dark starry background. Below the moon, the Taito copyright symbol and company name appear in white text, followed by "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" and "CREDIT 0" in smaller white font. The overall composition uses a space theme with blue nebula-like clouds visible around the celestial sphere. The sprite-based graphics feature bold, high-contrast colors typical of mid-1990s arcade hardware.
