From the EBgames.com description: The Japanese mega-hit fires its way to the U.S.! 18 different fighting stages Vertical and horizontal play options An extensive fable told throughout the game A variety of strategies, including the advanced "Bullet Eater" technique Massive points awarded for orderly "chain attacks" A slow-motion gameplay option
Am I missing something. When I played through Ikaruga, I only encountered 5 stages. Hell, Radiant Silvergun has more stages.

I have the Japanese DreamCast version, and there's not 18 stages.

Well, Treasure supposedly added stuff to the Gamecube version, though I have no idea exactly what was added or how much. Maybe they divided each area into 3 stages and added one more?

Ikaruga is broken down to 18 sections, but they shouldn't have called it 18 "levels" in the advert 0.<
Actually, I'm not very sure how the sections are broken down. I'm guessing:
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
stage intro = 1x5 proper stage = 1x5 end of stage boss = 1x5 last boss additional extra forms = 3 (snake heads, ball insect, Radiant Silvergun crystal :)

As long as Ikaruga is actually getting a US port [and not getting re-named Mobile Light Force 3] I'm not going to worry about the ad department not understanding the difference between levels and sections.
